What happened to privacy,can't see this taking place,who will keep track off the several thousand/million emails and forms off comunication made a day next there will be CCTV in public toilets

Well I'm getting a new computer but dunno what to get and don't know how to customize so was thinking off going one off the Dell Xps models would you recomend these or what what one would you recomend
XPST 630 or XPS 420

Thanks

Ask Nikimere he does RC racing he could give you a good recomendation

Fair enough but smoking decreases your life span and think off the family and friends you leave behind but I agree about living life to the max

life after death ftw !!!

Quote from th84 :

$4.15/gallon here (which is almost a dollar cheaper than it was last week). I average 15 (give or take) miles per gallon in my truck. With a 30 gallon fuel tank it costs me $120 to fill up.

Hell, it costs me $40 worth of gas everytime I cut my grass now. I see some very high grass in our future.

expensive enough!!

It does kinds average out at that rate.Hopefully it will go down shortly again.

Fuel in Ireland hasn't decreased in price for at least over a month now,petrol still being 1.24.4 euro to the litre and that is the cheapest I have seen. Diesel is at 1.31.7 at the cheapest I have seen. Hopefully it should go down shortly again

Ask can they customize it,
Further customise your caricature with additional extras, such as window tints, no. plate logos and text (on mugs)!!! See Customise Your Caricature!

Anyone going then

I think tickets are 120 Euro for the Dublin show,not sure about the one in London.
Can't wait for it

Yay Top Gear is coming to Ireland

The show, which is also confirmed for London, Johannesburg, Sydney and Hong Kong on its first run, hits Dublin on 27 November for four days.

Quote from chanoman315 :

nope, they had an engine problem when they were running the usual checklist, but they repaired it before takeoff...

Ok thank you.

R.I.P

Was it the planes second attempt off takeoff ?
I heard that it had a problem before that initial takeoff so it was aborted ?

Quote from mookie427 :

you're sick

Who are you calling "sick" Just for a matter of interest to have my opinion on it!

Anyone know were there is footage of the plane actually coming into impact just for a matter of interest.

Quote from jbirdaspec :

I would recommend a Intex Core 2 Duo, at least 2 gigs of ram and a 8800gt 256 or 512 video card. I do hear the 9600 gt are good performance for the money too. EVGA makes really nice mother boards and Video cards. I have both evga mother board and video card here and have had zero problems.
Get decent Power Supply too. Antecs power supplies are pretty good, though somebody here may have a better suggestion. You could use your drives from you dell to save some money. though you might need to get a SATA hard drive if your dell has a ATA drive. Those are pretty cheap though. On the CPU there is a wide range of Core 2's to fit any budget. AMD still makes good chips as well.

If you can put together a 100 piece puzzle, you can put together a PC no problem. Once you do it once you will know it for good. I am sure there are many how to guides on the net explaining what to do.

Thank you mate

Would you have any websites were I could buy the components ? or just off Dell ?

No matter where the fuel is situated in an event of a accident the fuel will ignite either way as it is pure aviation fuel which is 100 + octane correct ?

Anyone know how the fire started ?

Wow have the death toll risen by that much,when I was watching on Sky news earlier today the estimated figure giving was 40/45.

Very sad news to hear.

Quote from chanoman315 :

Indeed, V2 is the most important face on TO, is when you rotate (lift the plane) so you can fly normally....
and of the maintainance being up to date, i seriously doubt it... well, the plane is 28 yo so

EDIT: see the pic attached, it shows how far-close to the airport the crash was... huge impact btw

Is the airport opened already ?
How many people confirmed dead ?

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

I think, maybe, what he meant was that IF you are in a car crash you have a higher percentage chance of surviving it than you would IF you were in a plane crash.

Yep exactly thank you

Quote from NitroNitrous :

Yeah, but you can have a car accident everyday with no injuries, on the other hand, if you have a plane accident, you are dead

I´m so sad today, RIP

yep the odd's are much higher of dying in a plane crash than car .
Anyone following it on SKY news ?

Quote from JJ72 :

You gotta think about how often they are being flown though.

Flying is never completely safe and personally remain one of the scariest way to die.....rest in peace people.

Yes that is also very true.

compare the amount of cars driven a day and crashed to a planes chances of crashing.

Very sad to hear

Quote from Dajmin :

If you want to use it for gaming, it's usually best to avoid the pre-made ones and either build it yourself (which isn't as scary as it might sound) or buy it from somewhere like Aria or Scan that can assemble a custom one for you.

Usually with standard builds you get crappy onboard graphics.

I use Scan for my parts and Crucial for memory (because of the guaranteed compatibility).
Start with a motherboard, check what it'll take and build on from there. It's like Lego, but way more expensive

What you'll get depends what games you want to run. If you have no interest in brand new games like Crysis then you'll have no use for a Dx10 card and you'll save a lot of money right away by getting a Dx9 one.
Likewise you probably won't need a quad core CPU unless you play new games. These days you can pick up Core2's fairly cheap so that could be a good choice.
Unless you're running a lot of high quality audio equipment and run a recording studio, you won't need any sound card more expensive than a SB Audigy (which I use, and I do home recording).
You probably won't need much above 2Gb RAM, but you might want to stick 4 in just for the sake of future-proofing. Price and mobo choice will dictate that one.

The actual models you can use the specs and Tom's Hardware to work out

Thank you

Yep it will be mainly for gaming. I have always tought of building my own PC (well getting someone too) but I don't know what equipment is good or what I should and shouldnt buy.

I did look at pre made gaming PC's also from HP and Dell but not reall sure if they are as good as they are made out to be.

I'm a total newbi when it comes to this.
