Never thought about what postmen could steal from you
Alex
I've had my fair share of things "Lost" in the post!
-
What router do you have, i have the Netgear one, i have no problems, do you have anything that could be interfearing with it E.g microwave or tv etc? Try changing the channel in the settings!
-
Hmmm, i have a disc with a phone unlocker on somehere, wil have a look and get back to you
-
If you have the dvd or vhs, chck the credits at the end, but ill look for it in the mean time
-
Masturbation has come back in a big way, its a before bedtime thing now! But me... It's for morning... evening and night mate
-
Bruce Willis saved the world before in armageddon, he can do it again!
-
There is post tomorrow (Christmas eve) but definitely not on Christmas day.
Oh, i always thoguth they finished on the day before xmas eve!
-
nice motherboard, i'm looking to get the S939 version to get the most from this opteron.
What RAM are you running? and what sort of temps are you getting?
I would have thought a watercooled cpu would be able to get a bit more than a 100MHz overclock, mines currently 700MHz over stock in 24/7 config.
If i was you, i'd save for the new socket thats comming out very soon, the 940
Also Tank_rider, What marks do you get in 3dmark 05??
-
The end was like titanic!!!!
like just die! i wanna leave
it did lag on in some part but its a great film, the end was dissapointing but its worth going to see
Good man, i havent even seen it yet, but thanks to you i know the ending
I think in the topic title it should say Contains spoilers Dave

It's Xmas eve tomoz, Post will not be working tomorrow.

As Chit-Chat seems to be getting on the boring side, i thought this would be a good thing to do to make it more interesting. So if there is any news you would like to discuss, that you have heard on T.V or in the papers or even on the web, post it on here.
Not sure if this is going to work, but it's worth a try, if anyone feels this is a bit gay, feel free to post and we'll leave it to go to the back pages of the forum.
Cheers

the world is going to end in 2006 and in 2012 aswell apparently. man... its going to be a busy century.
Jesus is also comming down in 2008 i think!
-
Awwwww lol, was it your B-day, why didnt you tell us before???? Happy B-day anyway mate
-
My GPU Overclocks never seem to do very well in PCmark05 etc. Oh i dunno. Anyway, that guide was great Tank_Rider!
-
seems that the athlon 64's are gettin better results
How much have you overclocked, and what Mobo you running???
-
Depends if you thinking about the 'speeding fine' as a reduction in money, or as the bit of paper.
Yes, he's got the bit of paper, but he hasn't had to pay the fine.
Very philosophical.
Aaaaaanyway, the way i see it, none of this is funny or "Class", i mean how anyone can find someone getting out of this funny i dont know, this guy was potensially endangering life, how is it funny????
Just to check, you did actually read the letter the guy wrote, yeah? Or was your's just some slightly related info-burst?
Was an out-burst, i dont agree with speeding, no matter what the circumstances are
-
I havent personally seen this, but the people ive spoke to that have seen it say the same thing as you have, about it lagging at the beginning!
-
So it's not the best way to avoid a speeding fine, it's the best thing someone ever did to avoid a speeding fine.
-
you said you had posted it 2nd class over a week ago but since it was christmas post i have given it time to come still dont have it so were is it has it done the same as the magura as i seem to have recieved mail perfactly so whats your plan just get the money and say its lost im not happy one bit.
i also cant pm you as it says you choose not to recive them and your never online on msn
Ben
Hmmm, allow 1 more day, if not, ill send you a tenner. Hows that? And if not you can put everyone on here off me, thats how serious i am
-
Make sure your doing 172mph+
I want to hit the camera at the top of our street with a sledgehammer, whens the best time to do it.
If you want to do it, go ahead, theres a fair few people that do it anyway, best time would be at night, wearing somthing on your face
-
Couldn't give a f**k to be honest. If it misses, yay. If not, the universe is better off without us. I'll probably be dead by then anyway.
I'll have to agree with you there, at least we won't feel it anyway!
-
This forum isnt a huge chain letter like the other coincidence of 9/11, this is a forum i know on the bottom it says if you send this to 5 people you will find the love of your life and f**k her sensless before your 12th birthday but it isnt true trust please. if were going to die were going to die whats the point in worrying about the enevitable
Not a chain letter, was published in the Sun today, but not in as much detail, look it up, you'll see!
-
I doubt that would work to be onist as there is so much pressure being put on the pedal it would probbaly rip or snap the bolt.
It was just a thought from the top of my head, didn't really think it through, but if he is planning on getting a new crank in the near future, then that would be the way forward, it would last a fair while i spose

In Egyptian myth, Apophis was the ancient spirit of evil and destruction, a demon that was determined to plunge the world into eternal darkness.
A fitting name, astronomers reasoned, for a menace now hurtling towards Earth from outer space. Scientists are monitoring the progress of a 390-metre wide asteroid discovered last year that is potentially on a collision course with the planet, and are imploring governments to decide on a strategy for dealing with it.
US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has estimated that an impact from Apophis, which has an outside chance of hitting the Earth in 2036, would release more than 100,000 times the energy released in the nuclear blast over Hiroshima.
Thousands of square kilometres would be directly affected by the blast but the whole of the Earth would see the effects of the dust released into the atmosphere.
And, scientists insist, there is actually very little time left to decide.
At a recent meeting of experts in near-Earth objects (NEOs) in London, scientists said it could take decades to design, test and build the required technology to deflect the asteroid.
Monica Grady, an expert in meteorites at the Open University, said: "It's a question of when, not if, a near Earth object collides with Earth. Many of the smaller objects break up when they reach the Earth's atmosphere and have no impact.
"However, a NEO larger than 1 kilometre (wide) will collide with Earth every few hundred thousand years and a NEO larger than 6 kilometres, which could cause mass extinction, will collide with Earth every hundred million years. We are overdue for a big one."
Tragedy in 2029?
Apophis had been intermittently tracked since its discovery in June last year but, in December, it started causing serious concern. Projecting the orbit of the asteroid into the future, astronomers had calculated that the odds of it hitting the Earth in 2029 were alarming. As more observations came in, the odds got higher.
Having more than 20 years warning of potential impact might seem plenty of time. But, at last week's meeting, Andrea Carusi, president of the Spaceguard Foundation, said that the time for governments to make decisions on what to do was now to give scientists time to prepare mitigation missions.
At the peak of concern, Apophis asteroid was placed at four out of 10 on the Torino scale a measure of the threat posed by an NEO where 10 is a certain collision which could cause a global catastrophe. This was the highest of any asteroid in recorded history and it had a 1 in 37 chance of hitting the Earth. The threat of a collision in 2029 was eventually ruled out at the end of last year.
Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer from Queen's University Belfast, said: "When it does pass close to us on April 13 2029, the Earth will deflect it and change its orbit. There's a small possibility that if it passes through a particular point in space, the so-called keyhole, ... the Earth's gravity will change things so that when it comes back around again in 2036, it will collide with us."
The chance of Apophis passing through the keyhole, a 600-metre patch of space, is one in 5,500 based on current information.
There are no shortage of ideas on how to deflect asteroids. The Advanced Concepts Team at the European Space Agency have led the effort in designing a range of satellites and rockets to nudge asteroids on a collision course for Earth into a different orbit.
No technology has been left unconsidered, even potentially dangerous ideas such as nuclear powered spacecraft. "The advantage of nuclear propulsion is a lot of power," said Professor Fitzsimmons.
"The negative thing is that ... we haven't done it yet. Whereas with solar electric propulsion, there are several spacecraft now that do use this technology so we're fairly confident it would work."
The favoured method is also potentially the easiest throwing a spacecraft at an asteroid to change its direction. Esa plans to test this idea with its Don Quixote mission, where two satellites will be sent to an asteroid.
One of them, Hidalgo, will collide with the asteroid at high speed while the other, Sancho, will measure the change in the object's orbit. Decisions on the actual design of these probes will be made in the coming months, with launch expected some time in the next decade. One idea that seems to have no support from astronomers is the use of explosives.
Professor Fitzsimmons. "If you explode too close to impact, perhaps you'll get hit by several fragments rather than one, so you spread out the area of damage."
In September, scientists at Strathclyde and Glasgow universities began computer simulations to work out the feasibility of changing the directions of asteroids on a collision course for Earth.
In spring next year, there will be another opportunity for radar observations of Apophis that will help astronomers work out possible future orbits of the asteroid more accurately.
If, at that stage, they cannot rule out an impact with Earth in 2036, the next chance to make better observations will not be until 2013. NASA has argued that a final decision on what to do about Apophis will have to be made at that stage.
"It may be a decision in 2013 whether or not to go ahead with a full-blown mitigation mission, but we need to start planning it before 2013," said Professor Fitzsimmons. In 2029, astronomers will know for sure if Apophis will pose a threat in 2036.
If the worst-case scenarios turn out to be true and the Earth is not prepared, it will be too late. "If we wait until 2029, it would seem unlikely that you'd be able to do anything about 2036," said Yates.
Do you think this will be the end, or will NASA work this one out??

Nope, a microwave or t.v can still be the problem, wether it's been working fine for a while or not. If re-booting the router doesnt work, then try changing the channel. Also, have you checked for loose connections etc?
