Ain't the internet great?! Makes experts and armchair politicians of all of us- free reign to speak our wisdom. Sadly the opportunity goes out to fools and bigots as much as it does to informed and educated people. Far less comeback for expressing opinions here - not like getting involved in a heated debate in a public place.
Long live free speech.

And maybe we should see a shard of glass protruding out of a driver's arm after someone crashes their FXO

err5r, no that would be grody.

DaEmOn - this is really half-baked, surely you must realise how this could be used to encourage hacking, which will not be tolerated on this forum. You really need to sit down and think things through a little more than a microsecond before posting this sort of baloney here.

Open the gadgets config screen and type Manchester in the location field?

yeah, I managed to think of that on my own, - it says 'sorry' (that's nice), 'no weather sites match your criteria' even though they have a site on their moving map thing for Manchester. Oh well.

My daughter's Barbie is very real.

You have to take this up with the people running the server - no point using the lfs forum for your arguments.

sorry for being thick, but thats what I want to do- add the weather area for manchester airport, but i can't see how to do it.
It's the Clientraw.txt thing

Welcome to the wonderful world of S2

Think carefully: Do you mean your mic records the other noises coming out of your PC's loudspeakers, or do you mean all the soundcard's output gets channeled into the teamspeak input?

Prize for the most pointless sidebar gadget has to go to the crunchy apple app.

Very good weather gadget, if you have a weather station nearby it supports:

I'd love to know how to input some UK weather stations closer to my area.

I had to buy a new pc when my old one blew up, it came with vista home premium 32 bit. Sure the sidebar gadgets are a bit of fun, they're not essential, but then 80% of what is on my pc is fun but non-essential.
I like the aero and the llok of vista but I'd still have been happy to stick with XP if I didn't have to upgrade.

Since this thread originally asked for advice about good sidebar gadgets, it has served no useful purpose other than the inevitable boring round of slagging off Vista and Bill Gates.
I don't mind Vista. It boots up very quickly for me, (well under 10 mins - JTbo, you need your pc seriously seen to) I don't have a ram problem and I like the gadgets in the sidebar, my pc does not suffer performance problems from having 5 running at once.
The ones I use are the CPU dials, weather, clock, post-it pad and the LFS S3 countdown timer.

LOL! You have to be pretty dumb not to realise within the first 5 seconds its a send-up.

Consider all the activity recently in LFS - patch X, release of new CTRA system, and the LX competition month.
Busy busy busy.
expect some quiet for a while now as we expect these "what's happening" posts to restart. It's the normal pattern repeating over again.

cfc's are a bigger problem because the radiation from the sun cause's them to breakdown and react with the ozone layer and thus removing it

I learnt in University (Chemistry & Physics) that the ozone layer was actually self-regulating; that letting more UV through would convert more oxygen to the triatomic ozone state and it thus holds itself in a sort of equilibrium. CO2 has little to do with this. They told me that too so for lack of any better or convincing knowledge, that's what i still believe.
