Defecating dog sparks US shootout Two neighbours in the US state of Mississippi drew weapons and fired at each other as an argument over a defecating dog ran out of control. Associated Press news agency said Jerry Blasingame, 60, has been charged with assault for shooting Terry Tehnet, 52, with a shotgun. Mr Tehnet was angry because he thought Mr Blasingame's dog had defecated on his lawn, in a rural part of the state. Mr Tehnet, whose injuries are not life-threatening, may also be charged. The two men gave AP different versions of what happened. 'Meet me at the levee' Mr Tehnet said he visited his neighbour to complain about dog "poop" on his property. Mr…

Osborne's Budget 'to fuel growth' Chancellor George Osborne has delivered his second Budget since the election of the coalition government in 2010. Addressing MPs, Mr Osborne said he did not need to ask the public for more taxes or more spending cuts. "This is not a tax-raising Budget, nor can we afford a give-away," he told MPs as he opened his comments. However, plenty of interesting changes and proposals were announced. http://cdn.hm-treasury.gov.uk/2011budget_complete.pdf So no big tax changes as a result of this Budget? Far from it. Following advice from the Office of Tax Simplification, the government has decided on a huge change to the UK's tax system. …

So I'm not even sure if this is a good place for this kind of thread, but it sounds like it could be something "techno". My friend needs a link to a website to watch BBC online? Or link to download a program which will enable her to watch it? Or something like that! Anyone?

England hold off Wales in Cardiff Wing Chris Ashton scored two tries as England kicked off the Six Nations with a hard-fought win in a compelling encounter in Cardiff.

The World Cup winner came on as a replacement for man-of-the-match Flood with 13 minutes left, and helped the visitors close out victory to underline their status a…

I'm in the process of getting a new laptop after my last one was stolen. This obviously means a new iTunes library. Will I have to go down the whole process of having to download all my cd's onto it once again or can I just plug in my current iPod touch and will it just transfer all the songs onto the new empty library? I know that when I buy songs from the iPod app on my iTunes and then plugged it in my old laptop it would ask if I want to transfer songs that aren't currently on the library. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My laptop (a pretty recent model of the Dell Inspiron series) tends to get a lot of dust in the fan, and sometimes the fan gets clogged up, so I take it apart, remove the dust from the fan, and put the laptop back together again. I recently unclogged my fan for the third time, and something went wrong when I put it back together, because every time I turn it on, I log into my account and it immediately tells me 'dumping physical memory to disc, start your computer in safe mode, etc'. When I start my computer in safe mode, it does the same thing. I figured fuckit, I'll just load a new copy of windows onto my drive and start from scratch. So I put a new copy of windows onto…

My computer suddenly got all screwed up. It used to use the > sign when I pressed the . button, and when I had caps lock off it would have caps lock on. But just now it stopped that- except now whenever I click on something, instead of just changing to that it opens it in a new window. :freak: Anyone know how I can stop this? I'm doing a webquest for school and I have about a million windows up now. :bomb:
