    on-line back up service

    Well they have a contractual obligation as you are paying for them to keep a backup, otherwise they would face a Class Action However I agree with your sentiment, which is why (as I listed in another thread) that your backup strategy should be comprehensive if you can't afford data loss. 1)...

    Japan's situation

    I think many people don't understand that when a populace live in a very active earthquake region they accept and deal with it, as they have for millennia, after all the Japanese have so little land (a little over 70% is mountainous) with a population of 125m (living in a habitable area the size...

    The only drawback of Dropbox is the data in the 'Cloud' is not encrypted so in theory anyone with access to the data could read it, whereas Mozy is encrypted, Mozy charge

    Japan's situation

    Well it would be a Typhoon but fortunately the wrong time of year for these As Sidewinder said it was the the Tsunami that caused the Fukushima problem not the earthquake, the media as always are spreading the doom and gloom side as they do at every opportunity (much why I don't buy papers)...

    NO SARKY MS OR WINDOZE COMMENTS!

    cat 5

    This is the accepted way to make cables, look on the web for pictures on which way to insert in the crimp connectors As others have said 568B is the norm, pin colour assignments should match the Keystone modules, all have colour coding so quite straight forward, and get a proper punch down tool...

    Onkyo HTX22HDX

    OK 5.1 is encoded in the audio signal, both support Dolby Digital, so if you use HDMI, the amp will detect an incoming DD encoded source and do the rest, there is a drawback with audio on HDMI but for all but the real enthusiast it's not worth worrying about. You can use TOSlink to keep it...

    Onkyo HTX22HDX

    First and foremost, connect the PS3 and V+ to the Onkyo via HDMI, you should not need to connect a separate audio cable as HDMI carries audio too. If your TV supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) you could use the HDMI output cable to return TV sound to the Onkyo, otherwise use a a set of phono...

    which cable to use on RCA plugs

    What ^ KME said And just for some added value, some of the new flat TV's (Panasonic by example) support ARC (Audio Return Channel) over HDMI, so if you planed to output the TV's internal sound into a Home Cinema system/amp that supports ARC, you would not need Phono, Optical or SPDIF cabling

    Burying/ chasing HDMI cable

    When you say unused, has the fireplace been decommissioned?, if so in through the side and up inside the flu and use a core drill of at least 28mm to the back of the TV would be another way, in order to cut trough the corner you will need a 25mm drill due to the size of the HDMI connector...

    baught some goodys that arrived today :)

    After a while you might find that the cable tester (it's really only a point to point tester), the switch gets a bit temperamental. Worth looking at: Test Equipment - multimeters, oscilloscopes, function generators, thermometers & electrical testers They cost more, but are more compact...
