fuckwits, The Apprentice, business
First Forte and Impact
Paul is heading one team (with the dreadful motormouth Saira)
This is quite an interesting week, needing creativity.
Miriam supervises her Mac monkey but Saira's attitude is just to leave it unsupervised...and starts rearranging chairs.
Could I spend a day with Saira? No. I would need her to be in another room at all times, preferably in another building. Paul clashes with her. Saira and the other useless cunt, fatty 'Fundraiser' Rachel have totally fucked up what they were asked to do and Paul should have come down hard on them. Saira totally out of her depth. She belongs in a call centre or in Hounslow selling shoes. Miriam's team are professional and poised. Their advert does actually raise a laugh.
There is a clear delineation among the apprentice hopefuls between those who are rounded and plausible (like James Max and Miriam) and those who are gobshite freaks and fuckwits (Saira Khan and Rachel) Paul is the exception that proves the rule. He somewhat falls between the stool...
Salan is right to be disgusted by the pisspoor advert that Paul's team produces, especially the atrocious Primary School collage bodged together by Saira Gobshite and Rachel.
In the boardroom at the end, Saira Khan fights like an alley cat. Totally unscrupulous. Rachel is fired and then Saira turns on the waterworks and milks it for all its worth. She also in an earlier episode played the race card. A utterly despicable human being. Amazing that this lying, scheming, one-trick pony (sales) got as far as the final.

I've been through this debate on a number of boards in different places. I have had my memory paging DISABLED since I went to 2Gb of ram about a year ago. There might be some programs that require paging enabled, but there aren't many. I've run just about every game out there with no issues, and .NET and Visual Studio development tools as well as Poser and a couple other rendering programs. Unless specific applications you use REQUIRE paging, I'd disable it. What I noticed, both at work and at home, is that Windows tends to page parts of almost everything into VM unless you have no page file. This is easily testable by selecting to display the virtual memory column in performance in the task manager. The main effect this has, especially with graphics intensive applications is a slowdown in load times as the application will be swapping textures on and off the hard drive at the same time it's trying to do large sequential reads from the hard drive for application data. In most cases, even when you think you have more than enough video ram, windows still uses system ram for textures. I've been using cards with 128mb and 256mb for a while with applications that only require 64mb and there was still a noticable performance difference with paging turned off. Obviously, this is just my personal opinion, and if you get an out of memory error with a particular application... by all means, turn it back on. I regularly run things like Elder Scrolls Oblivion, WoW, etc. while playing music in ITunes, chatting in AiM, etc. and running voice chat software and/or downloading and never get out of memory errors or performance issues.

The Apprentice
Teams had to choose and sell products in tacky Harrods.
Once again miserable Professional Northern Whingeing Git Adele manages to piss people off.
James Max leading Impact won thanks to some hard graft by Saira Khan and Paul (dressed in a sweltering Bear suit)
Tim leads the other team. Ben (never sold anything in his life and Adele (see above) Tim was organised and couldn't be blamed for the loss really.
Adele pissed off Harrods staff. Ben is a lazy useless git who's never done a proper days work in his life (he's a 'Headhunter') At lunchtime he was 'exhausted'.
Tim is a plodder and has an annoying 'council estate' speech impediment. He's clearly not a £100,000 a year man.
Sebastian is a grey man. Looks like an extra from a costume drama.
Adele does actually have insight into why they lost. However, she fell out with Harrods staffer Aussie Sean (sloppily dressed in an outsized yellow tie)
Adele in the boardroom started whingeing about family and resigned before being fired. She seems to think that she is the major competition ??!!
Best Apprentice of all time?
Raife, suave sophisticated and a gentleman. Sadly missed.

Northern Gits, fuckwits, Whingeing Northern Gits, Useless Whingeing Northern Gits
...
Northern Git Adele (Lock) wants a PA? WTF?
Is it a good idea to pick someone as a PA? Lot of telephoning so I need a PA?
Tim is a little grass (he wins this series, nice guy but hardly a £100,000 a year man).
I've seen pictures of Adele since and her face has recovered from permanently sucking a lemon in this series. That's her Whingeing Northern Gittery coming out.
Unbelievably Adele survives this week only to retire another week (for personal reasons*, oh gives us a break!)
* her Granny was ill or some such nonsense

The Apprentice, bad design
Old Apprentice and it's boys versus girls on the product for kids.
Team Leader Lindsey - a complete spastic who ignores all the market research and focus groups and other people in her group to impose 'Secret Signals' over a great robot idea. She is the type of annoying gimp who belongs in the Public Sector (I think she is actually a PSF) imposing her shitty Politically Correct ideas on an unwilling public.
I think people have already got robots and I want to take a risk.
What people? How many kids have got robots??! Take a risk on a crap idea?
If you want to take a risk Lindsey, do us all a favour and go sky-diving sans parachute you useless fucking moron. Lindsey Fuckwit, at a Town Hall near you, now.
The boys don't fuck about and aren't hampered by a Public Sector Freeloader type wanking it all up. They go for an electronic version of Top Trumps.
'Secret Signals' in an age of mobiles and texts is as bad as the arch-PSF Livingstone thinking the bus is the answer to modern transport issues (the bus of course with no bus shelters in a City where it pisses down 3/4 of the year)
Saira Khan may be an annoying loud-mouthed twat who needs throttling but she does have a good instinct on this one and clearly thinks Lindsey is barking. Since Saira week-on-week amply demonstrates what a big fucking mouth she has, why isn't she screaming at Lindsey
You stupid cunt! Take your head out of your arse and realise that this a SHIT idea! Go with the fucking ROBOT Shit-for-brains!"
But no, she is quiet as a mouse and chooses to bicker with Northern Whining Git Adele. Miriam doesn't cover herself in glory. They are all awfully polite. Paul would have come out with it:
This is a shit idea and you are a fucking idiot
