What happened to Middx??? Still accepted by the post office and used by many people and businesses.

Got swallowed by greater London, but clings to life in the postcodes, a Cricket club and the name of a University.
So Middlesex is gone, but Sussex, Wessex, Essex remains. What about the northern Saxons?
<Edit> scrap that. What happened to Wessex?</edit>

Wessex disappeared a long time ago. I don't think it existed since the Norman conquest.

Yeah, I googled a bit and only found historical references.

Wow.......don't know what happened there, but when I clicked the link and it tried to open it, it broke all 3 open tabs in Chrome. :-/

Odd, I really just linked an actual PNG file. But it's 12780x7800 px.
Oh, and BTW it works for me on Chrome. 
For me it crashed IE on the first try, but worked on the second. Try to download to disk and open from there.

It will be our network out here. We have a lot of problems with various things on our system that IT can't get to the bottom of.
e.g. opening a 220Kb pdf file from the network takes 2minutes. Drag the same pdf onto Chrome and it opens instantly. Opening Word takes ages, and not talking opening a document, this is just starting an instance of Word. interacting with our ComputerBasedTraining provider crashes constantly. Outlook webmail craps itself regularly as does some webpages and the CSS doesn't get applied.
I think we are loosing or dropping random traffic somwhere.

Sounds like a probable cause.
But what antivirus are you using?
And do you not have local installs of office?

That is local install of office!

If a local install of office takes two minutes to start you're having some serious problems with your setup.
But I can only speculate that there are some references on a central server that's messing up things.
Most if not all antiviruses scans network files every time they access them while local files are scanned once and kept track on after that.

It is not just my machine, so it is something common.
IT have been all over this, at least since I have been here in January and still none the wiser. The netstats look bad, high fails e.g.;
TCP Statistics for IPv4
Active Opens = 22952
Passive Opens = 337
Failed Connection Attempts = 1185
Reset Connections = 8368
Current Connections = 31
Segments Received = 1296162
Segments Sent = 909613
Segments Retransmitted = 24971
TCP Statistics for IPv6
Active Opens = 518
Passive Opens = 0
Failed Connection Attempts = 518
Reset Connections = 0
Current Connections = 0
Segments Received = 3108
Segments Sent = 2072
Segments Retransmitted = 1036

Possibly a stupid question, but are the cables shielded or unshielded?

Strange, same thing happened to me too!

Are you having a 32 or 64 bit OS?
|
|
|
|
|
Windows 8 32bit! Google Chrome Version 38.0.2125.111 m
|
|
|
|

Just checked, the tab in Chrome that's showing the picture needs 574 MB. That could possibly be the culprit. With 32 bits chrome is limited to 2GB.

If you go out to lunch with somebody and treat them, and later go out to lunch with them again, and pay for their meal the second time also, could that be considered a retreat, even if you charge it?
|

|
|
|
Hey, wanna do lunch sometime?

|

No that's called stupidity.......you should have "it is your turn mate, I got it last time!" 
|
|
|
|
|
Then they will become accustomed to you buying them lunch all the time whereupon you become the repeat retreat person. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

It depends on the value-exchange dimensions of the relationship, the social context, status, roles, anticipation of future reward.

Hi Ravi-ji, Now you've got me curious: what about my words reminded you of Google+ ... I've never used any of FarceBook, SlinkedIn, Goggle+, Twister.

The use of relationship, social context, status, and roles in the same sentence was a dead giveaway.
