We’ve all done it before, deleted a file that we shouldn’t have and when you check the recycle bin its not there. So we’ve all done it, but only some of us back up our files on a regular basis and for those people reverting to a version of the file a few days old might just cut it. For the rest of us its usually either fork out few hundred dollars for a data recovery expert to get the file back, or just accept the fact that its gone. Little of us know that there are literally hundreds... more

Fonts - The History and Basics Author: Rex Camposagrado Fonts are a set of glyphs or images that represent characters from some particular character set in a particular size and typeface. The fonts term comes from the Middle French fonte, from fondre (meaning to melt or cast) which referred to type produced by casting molten metal at a type foundry. Fonts in printing, sometimes called Fount, are a complete set of type of any one size, with all the usual points and accents; a font consists of about... more

These days more and more people are discovering torrents as a way to share files. Most people have heard of and use programs of the likes of Napster, Imesh, Kazaa and LimeWire. These are all P2P (peer-to-peer) sharing programs, programs in which users share files between each other. Every program has its day, and for these programs there day has ended, some of them ages ago. Torrents enable file transfer which differs from these more conventional ways to share files as I will explain below. First... more

Theme Hospital is an old classic which I recently found in my ever so large collection of cd’s. I thought what the heck, it’s Easter weekend, I have plenty of time to kill, so I went ahead and installed it. To cut a long story short, this game consumed three quarters of my weekend and I still haven’t finished it! If you are not familiar with this game, its just over a decade old and was made my EA Games back in 1997. It was created after the great success its predecessor Theme Park... more

Mk 5 - 1979–1982 The Mk V came about in September 1979, orginally as a facelift version of the Mk IV known as the “Cortina 80″. Mk V tag was given to it by the press, enthusiasts and the general public. The differences in the Mk V from the older Mk IV include, larger rear tail lights, larger front indicators which meant no need for a side indicator as on the Mk IV, newer grille which was said to be more aerodynamically efficient, more squarer edges around the roof, better visability... more

Mk 4 - 1976–1979 The Mk IV had a more square-shaped style than the previous MK III. it is basically a rebody of the Mk III as it is on the shame chassis, this is also the case for the Mk V. Many parts were carried over from the Mk III, such as the dashboard design but as said before, the most noticable was the running gear/chassis. This version of the cortina gave birth the the Ghia model which was top of the range with all the luxury trim options, this bascially replaced the 2000E. The 2.3L v6... more

Mk 3 - 1970–1976 Ford originally wanted to call the Mk III something other than Cortina, but the name Cortina stuck. The Mk III has more curves than the boxy Mk II and looks a lot larger although it is the same length, but it is 10cm wider. To me it has some australian muscle car styling in the design, surely the most beasty looking version of the Cortina The different trim levels were Base, L (Luxury), XL (Xtra Luxury), GT (Grand Touring) and GXL (Grand Xtra Luxury) which was later replaced by... more

Mk 2 - 1966–1970 The engines were the same as the Mk I pre-crossflow in the first year, then they were changed to a crossflow which made they more efficient. This means they now came out in 1.3L and 1.6L, the Lotus version still had its own twincam engine. One of the popular and well known models was the 1600E which held the 1.6L engine. 2/4-door saloons were availavle and also a 4 door estate. Trims were base, Deluxe, Super, GT, 1600E. The 1600E had all the nice sporty extras which were appealing... more

They came off the production line with either 1.2 L and 1.5 L engines in 2 and 4-door saloon and 4-door estate forms. Trims available were base (standard), deluxe, super and GT although they werent all available on all body styles. The engines which powered these little beasts were 4 cylinder pushrod engines, theses engines are known as the “pre-crossflow”,... more

Some of us hate them and some of us wonder what all the fuss is about. Wisdom Teeth are just another name for Third Molars, the teeth which most of us get to know between the ages of 16 to 25. For some of us with large jaw bones, these teeth come through fine and cause us no pain, discomfort or large dentist bill, but for others, all the previous things can become reality. The problem with Wisdom Teeth is that for some of us there is no room in our mouth to allow them to live happily behind out second... more
