14ms is pretty fast. You wont see any ghosting or anything. My mate bought one infact last monday - its a decent monitor, wouldnt go for 19" though personally, but I guess im just not a fan of huge monitors (after switching from a 19" to a 17"). IMO, you should get the 17" one at aria, its the best value one around at the moment (IMO :S)

Nah, in this case, CLS wouldnt win them all, read the post up a bit - no person to win 2 categories, it would go to the person with the next highest amount of votes in that cat :) People can make the vid for what they want to win though. If people like street then they can aim to win the street bit, but also edit it up a bit to get a chance at the editing one aswell. The naturalists who think its unfair that a decent street vid will probably get more votes than a decent natural vid also have a reason to enter. Could even be smaller prizes for funniest vid or something stupid.. Its all a long way away anyway.. way.. and I guess a poll will decide what sort of comp it will be in the end :S

Hmm.. but why should the best 3 riders win? Its should be about getting people out and riding, and getting as many new vids out as possible from people who might not otherwise try. The best riders will still win the best street/natural competitions (probably) - but someone of lesser ability who makes a nicely edited video is still in with a chance.. seems like a much fairer way than last year. Last year people were saying it was unfair the way it was done then.. this year the opposite, cant win :P

Lol do we? Ive put exactly no thought into it yet personally - but why not :P We should be able to get some decent prizes nowadays. There was one company I remember who offered us some pretty cool stuff, but it was a bit late last year - ill ask them again and hope for the best :) Last year, IMO, it was unfair the way it was done.. basically the best riders won. Expanding on Koxxys idea, 4 categories or something (best natural, best street,editing and origonality or something), no rounds or anything. All videos entered into each category, video with most votes from each gets prizes. No video takes 2 prizes. Very simple.. and then there wont be any 'rounds' nonsense which made it last for what seemed like eternity last year.

Eye of the tiger.

Whats more annoying is the fact they play it while saying 'wow, this is really annoying' over the top. Jeeez.. we know its annoying, so dont play it. Just turned off radio 1 about 10 minutes ago for this very reason! I feel we havent heard the last of it :S

I have a lovely 22 year old beige Fiesta. It has a 998cc engine (beast) and a multi-coloured steering wheel cover (beastlier). Ill have to get a pic sometime.. itll blow your socks off :S :)

Nah, id prefer to have something which means alot to me, even if no-one else knows what it means, who cares? Its your skin, atleast that way it would still be personal to you in 50 years time. I certainly wouldnt scar myself for life to look cool for a couple of months.. Im not a fan of em anyway, I think the novelty value would wear off pretty quickly in terms of a lifetime whichever way you look at it.

What do you think this is? Bank-forum or something? :S But anyway, think I got a switch card at 16/17 from Natwest after losing my solo card on a regular basis (I guess in the end I must have got over a certain age limit and sent me one automatically), but then again I opened a savings account the other day and they only gave me a solo card. Ask around if I were you, find the best card and go for that. Also check out the service you get. Lloyds just stuck a leaflet in my hand and pushed me aside, natwest on the otherhand took me aside and sorted everything out for me - their customer service is really good. Theyve also promised to never outsource call centers to other countries... I cant imagine how difficult it would have been to phone up wrecked at 3am, with porn playing in the background doing my best to explain ive lost my card with no idea of where or when, to some guy who doesnt speak english - so thats a good thing :)

The things which are listed in msconfig (startup tab) are the programs which load up every time you turn your computer on. Over 2 years of installing stuff youve probably made up quite a list of things which start every time you turn your pooter on, but never get used any more. Unchecking them means they wont start up when you turn your computer on. If you have stuff like hotkeys on your keyboard.. or err.. I cant think of anything else, and they dont work any more, you might need to go back into msconfig and re-check the box to load the (in this case) keyboard drivers when you start up. If everything works fine, leave it as it is :S And my tip of the day, go and back your work up now whatever you do :)

So photoshop only goes slow if your playing music? What software do you use to play music? I suggest you find one which is a little easier on the CPU. Format if you can be arsed. I realise people dont like doing it but it is the best 'catch all' solution.. As for free non formatting general speeding up, click start> run> type "msconfig". Click startup tab. Uncheck everything which you dont need, including things like office quick start and anything that looks unfamiliar. Restart. Also run adaware, spybot, stuff like that. As for non-free, buy some more RAM. EDIT: Try winamp 5.05 :S

Ah cool, cheers :S Ive got the ariel and everything going into the freeview box already. The sound is already connected up to my amp. Now I just need to use a scart to s-video lead and plug it into a capture/tv card. Thanks for clearing that up, I assume someone would have warned me about the image being crap if it was gonna be :cheers:

I was gonna post pretty much the same topic.. does that mean I can get a TV card and put my freeview in through the s-video, and play it on my computer at full screen/decent quality? What software do you use to play the video from the s-video in?

Methinks this has been covered in previous replies which I agree with.. in summary - no.

It is his decision though.. none of us (I assume) have ever been in the position of wanting/feeling ready to marry someone. If theyre already in the position where they share their money and she does the bills and stuff... then thats pretty marriage like already - I guess its that kinda thing which makes me not want to get married. So errr yeah, sounds like you got the commitment thing sorted already. But meh, I dont want commitment like everyone else by the sounds of it (N) Each to their own..

We just used to gamble (far too much money) with cards. That didnt take long to get banned.. our head of year had probably 100 packs of cards in her office by the end of the year (I shit ye not). Apparently they've filled up 'my' old common room with computers. Gone are the days of playing stupidly loud decent music to piss off the townies, while gambling on card games :blink: Those were the days.. good wholesome fun.

Lucy has been ignoring me since I gave her the spade - not one phone call - NOT ONE! I guess its time to move on. About the marriage thing, 18 is pretty young to get married.. I dont see what the rush is, personally I quite like the freedom of being single (at the moment). Saying that, ive never felt the urge to marry anyone, and the thought of it would scare me - obviously thats not the same for you though, so its not my place to really say anything except good luck :blink:

Boooooooooring. I guess you were never 15. Anyway, 99% of girls are evil. Actually no.. probably only about 50% are.. I just take more notice of that 50% cos they annoy me :( Saying that, to the trained eye, it doesnt take long to spot an evil one. Its all good when you find a nice girl though (... still waiting).

No piracy :(

First things first.. turn it off at the plug and then turn it on again. Dunno why but its happened to me a couple of times (computer not working until I fully turn it off). What does it do now when he turns it on?

Happy Birthday Mr! What you do for it? I bet you got the stella shits today :S (the sign of a good night out)

The thing is people WERENT allowed to post feedback. We went though and had to delete it. What was good about the bike-pics thread? The fact you could scan through 10 pages of bike pics and bike pics only? Well now (if you use it) you have X pages of thumbnails of bikes, which you ARE ALLOWED TO COMMENT ON!! This makes it easier for us as we dont have to go through everything to keep it tidy, PLUS you get to comment on you 'kin bikes. About the subforum, it already is a fecking subforum!! Just click on it and post your picture. If you want to comment on a picture (which may I remind you, you werent allowed to do before) click the ******** comment button. Jeeez... its not a difficult concept. .... breath..

I dont see how clicking 'Bike Pics' --> 'Upload image' is any harder than using a seperate uploader and then pasting the code into a new reply..?! Davetrials, if we didnt delete comments in the bike pics thread your looking at about 100-200 pages of replies and 10 pages of pics, you can argue all you want that you prefer to wade through an unmoderated bike pics thread than look at a page with all the thumnails infront of you, but I wont believe you. Anyone can tell me that they can moderate it no problem, but I bet my anal virginity that you will get bored of it after you have done it once, again 6 hours later, again the next day etc etc. Being a moderator is not fun, ask.. a moderator. YOU were the ones arguing that you werent allowed to comment on bike pics, well now you can, its simply a case of hitting 'add reply' as you normally would for the picture you want to comment on... christ.. is it that hard? Give and take guys.. we (mods/admins) are the ones who have to sort through your crap day in day out.. why not make it a little easier for us? Rant over, and I dont even enforce this no bike pics rule.. (Y) PS: Yes, I agree the gallery isnt up to standard, which is why I bitch at the guy who writes it, but for your needs of clicking 'Bike Pics, Upload image' or Clicking 'Bike Pics, Click Thumbnail, Click Add Reply' I dont see what your winging about.

Cleanbikes sell them for 75p as far as I remember, I got a couple off them (Y)

Sorted :P
