Not sure if it's been posted 'cause I'm on my blower but EA are giving away NFS : Most Wanted on Origin.

Well worth a go!

That's not true. I've always loved them... Well, since around 10am this morning anyway.

My boss has just sent an email with a "keep calm and carry on" style Poster attached and referenced.
That's it. I'm done with this job.

I've done everything today, except the thing I really needed to do.

I'd have walked out already.

Does anyone know what the proper name is for the rectangular cards that you can get to write notes on? I can only think of them as cue cards. Wilkos didn't have any and eBay just brings up pre printed ones.

Thanks!

I'm in London for work on Wednesday/Thursday next week. I may be free for beers with anyone who happens to be around on the Wednesday evening....

I'm around from about 17:45 -> 21:00 near Waterloo. I may also have an Doccy G, an Curio and an Craster with me.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

I'll be in Clerkenwell Green for a meeting, then not sure which hotel I'll be in. But Waterloo's easy to get to. I will be in touch.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Thu Feb 04, 2016 20:37

I could theoretically be in waterloo, if welcome.

We think someone at work has lost their laptop. If it did have tracking software installed on it, when do you think that would kick in?

It needs a username and password to access so if it was found by someone, they'd only be able to get to the log in screen and no further unless they knew what they were doing.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

If the disk isn't encrypted, it's a 5 minute job to get access to everything on there. What sort of tracking software is installed?

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Feb 05, 2016 0:20

That's the thing. I don't know for sure it has any... I'm guessing the chances of finding it are slim if someone has picked it up.

Have you seen this website yet? Basically, you search for any Simpsons quote and it'll show you a screengrab from that episode. It's amazing!

Oh, it's that what's been going on?

They've been appearing everywhere.

Best pair of tits they've had on there.

Biggest, certainly. Best, not even remotely.

One perk of being off work sick: just heard a composition by my old teacher at secondary school played on Radio 3.

Phat.

Just had an email out of the blue from Rockstar games telling me that my password had been reset. The URL in the email was legit, I've gone on and tried to login with my saved password which no longer worked. So I've reset it. Bit of a concern though, that someone has somehow got my password.

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32619

You don't need to have the password to reset the password. If you think about it, it has to be that way.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16560

I don't follow. Unless my email account was compromised which seems less likely as it's all two-factor and whatnot. It wasn't a password reset request email it was an email telling me that the password had already been reset.

I can't find the 'Photos wot other people took' thread, so I'm posting this BBC Magazine 'Winning photos from beautiful gardens' link here.

It'll teach you not to use "password1" as a password.

Well that makes me feel better then, but it does point to them having some issues. I've emailed support so we'll see what they say.

Could be that someone put your e-mail address into their "reset password" screen and it just resets the password rather than sending you a link to reset it yourself?

The email said this:

Quote:

You should probably change your password.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16560

Thanks, Chris. That's just the sort of insight and advice I was hoping for.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

HTH HAND.

It does suggest that someone has done something naughty, and the fact it's happened to more than one person. Does the rockstar account have any links to payment details?
