I just received notification that my recurring tickets picked up a win on the 13th and has been paid to my bank account.
Logged into my account to see the prize of £65. Woo I thought, must have been a 4 ball match.
Oh, How wrong was I.
1 x 4 Ball Match @ £15
2 x 3 Ball Match @ £25 each.
WTF? You get less money for matching 4 balls than you do for matching 3.....Also the prize fund available is rubbish, think Camelot have broken the whole system, last last change of doubling the ticket price was a screw up as far as I can work out.
Maybe time to let Branson have it.

Doesn't it depend on how many others also made similar matches?

Yep. I'm not fond of it anyway - I can do the math, just like you can - but Herself refers to it as "her retirement fund" so I have to buy the stupid thing.
And when they doubled the price, I halved the number of tickets. By the look of the prize amounts, so did everybody else...

Results:
9: $5.10 $1.90
12: $15.40

It's because the 3 ball pay out is fixed at £25 and the rest of the prizes are from the remaining prize pool.
Because all of the numbers were 31 or under and most people play dates as their numbers there were 60% more 3 ball winners than normal.
This meant the remaining prize pool was much, much less than normal.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

which also probably explains why Dave won

Has anyone tried the Maxthon browser? I often try out different web browsers, but usually the more well known ones. Today I stumbled across this one which I had never heard of before, so I decided to try it out, and so far I'm pleasently surprised.

I usally use chrome for my daily work, have firefox also installed. A few weeks ago, I installed that one and I was also surprised: It starts up lightning fast, is rock solid. I am going to keep it up.

Their website doesn't work over HTTPS which instantly makes me not like them (I have an addon which forces everything over SSL where possible)
What's the deal with this browser anyway? Have they built it themselves or is it a fork of Chromium/Firefox or something?
Edit: Tried to install, the downloader stayed at 0% for too long, gave up!

I use it a lot, and am dead chuffed with it.
A well as a lot of little tweaks that are well handy, it's got a great selection of plug-ins, superb configuration and page sharing across devices, it's quick as you like, and has a nifty browser-core switch.
Downsides are minimal control over cookies (delete all or delete none), I'm not crazy with the basic dev tools (which I don't use, anyway, because TextPad is still the best for that, IMO), and a typo ("uncorrectly") on the advanced configuration page (hey, sh1t like that is important!).

It is defined as a ... cloud browser. Interesting concept.

my boyfriend has put parental locks on our desktop. He is using multiple IP addresses on his laptop as well as multiple wi fi addresses. He has turned all files into dll and exe so they can not be ooened or read. Feeling stupid, but what does all this mean?

That you're in a relationship with an idiot? But you know what they say - our choice in partner is a reflection of ourselves.

Sounds like lots of "boy" and not much "friend".

Try copying some of the (so called) dll or exe files to a new folder and then try renaming them to .jpg, .gif or .png, or possibly .doc, .txt or .zip and see if the file can be opened when renamed with a new extension.
And then have a good long talk with him starting with "Why?".
