Brilliant comment from Coulthard with ITV Louise Goodman.

"I will kick the shit out of him." @ Massa after contact on T1.

Wasn't me that done it, I think he was just joking when he was cleaning the PC out.

Tried those options, took it to a mate to have a look, turns out the motherboard was fried. Funny side of it was, since my Dad bought it Christmas 2004, hes never opened it to clean it out, so just imagine how much dust was in there over the years.

Had to hoover it out before he could have a proper look lol.

Hi there, I was woken up bout half an hour ago by my family, because they had run into a problem which I assumed was minor.

My mother pressed the sleep button by accident at one point, and the monitor refuses to switch back on. They tried to reboot, but nothing was happening, hence waking me up early. I had a look, tried rebooting myself, checked the connections at the back, everything looked fine, no changes whatsoever, the monitor would declare that there is "no signal" and switches itself off while the PC is still on.

Is there a way around it at all? I tried rebooting, I would still get the same problem on their PC. Their operating system is XP.

Took me 5 mins too, and i had an Killing spree of 40 but then someone else wanted to play

Just had a 67 kill on Domination on Map Ambush with a 50 folk server on Hardcore *strokes M21* Love sniping .

The situation is being sorted lads, thanks for the help and advice .

I'll keep you updated, I've been told that we are gonna see each other face to face, with a tutor as witness, and basically discuss the issues and then shake hands.

34 for me, rawr!

Quote from andybarsblade :

that can be altered in the multiplayer config files to suit the server pings you get

How do you do that?

Had to start again the other day. Really do love this game. Has anyone noticed that patch 1.5 has changed the flow of ping?

For example. On patch 1.4, 110 ping, you see the enemy but you have to slighty shoot further than before *sniping on scope would be a good example* because your ping is slightly high and you had to slightly guess his position ahead because the opponent you are aiming has already been there.

But on patch 1.5 also on 110 ping, you see the enemy, but when you shoot him without having to shoot slightly ahead of him. It registers, and takes a slight second longer from the 60 pings or lower, for process to register on both yourself and the dude you killed.

Anyone noticed that?

It went off topic ever since someone said "Murder him" :P.

Anyways, thanks for the great advice all, I just wanted to be sure before I decided to take action.

What I am going to do, is get the evidence first, and then consult my tutor about it.

My car is safe in a neighbourhood where I live, and I don't think he knows where I live. Besides, even if he does have the guts and complete stupidty to slash my tyres, I can always get 4 new tyres for 40 quid, and they are very reliable. And also I would have already the evidence gathered on him if the police get involved.

The ideas you guys shared have been a good laugh . The antibotics, the stalking, loads to choose from, shame we can't do them in reality terms .

Quote from CSU1 :

Hey BigDave, imo the second you let this idiot into your head was the second he won. Furthermore, people who genrally threatten with physical violence or abuse are the kind of people who grew up constantly fighting with others around them, and as callus as his verbal abuse is, it's only bs, all he's trying todo is make himself look the big man infront of the lady's...how old is this guy anyway, 12?

My advice, ignore him and every single other person who does'nt do the same, I think you'll agree thats a pretty quick way of sorting the apples.

Also, cunduring up plans of retalliation will just make you as bitter and mean a person as he....at the end of the day you gotta feel sorry for these type of people that think verbal and physical abuse is the only means of expressing themselfs, ingore em' and leave em to it.

If ignoring the bastard fails, there's always the bluetooth bomb(pm for details(nothing todo with explosivs btw.))


Peace BigDave:hippy:

Better clear myself just incase. I've ignored the idiot countless times, because he was simply a waste of space. And thats pretty much what I have been doing over the past few months.

But when I have heard about the damaging my car threats, even though we all know in general hes a coward to do so *the dipstick asked my friends if they want to slice my tyres lol*

I just simply want to send him a message, that he's practically picked the wrong guy to try and mess with. And I intend to do that by reporting him in college for the threats. And hopefully that would knock some common sense into him, in realising what a twit hes been.

Quote from 5haz :

Lol, he hasnt even got the guts to threaten you to your face, plus he threatened to batter your friend but didnt show up, what you have on your hands is a coward, just find a way to show that your not scared of him and hell never come near you again!

Basically he feels threatened, so he feels he needs to keep other people around him scared of him so that they dont threaten him, as long as your worried about him, hell have power over you and the viscous circle continiues, but as soon as you assert your power over him, the circle breaks down and he is no longer a threat.

So just don't do anything too seirious, maybe at the worst throw a few punches at him or knock him down (not with the car!), and then tell him politely never to go near you or your friends again, and if he has the nerve to come back for more (very unlikely seeing he is a coward), do it again! Seeing as everyone hates him he doesnt have anyone to turn to for support.

Just don't let him get to you, hes a coward as he wont face you in a confrontation, he will only do stuff behind your back, such as causing criminal damage to your car, force him to face you and he will crumple like the pathetic wimp he is, these people are everywhere, at school ive had people telling me there going to break my neck, but all they did was walk away!

Which is why I was thinking of reporting the threat to the police, with evidence provided, the police would record the evidence, and if my car has happened to be damaged as described, job done in a sense.

Anyways, I'm not making a big deal out of it, just wanted some advice before I take any action, just to ensure I am going the right way with it. I don't tolerate with violence. I study martial arts, and I have a code to follow so to speak. So I use common sense, and try to deal things politically than use my fists and legs. I only use them for self defence if I have to.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Firstly is the guy built like a brick shit house? im guessing not so ok...

I'm build like a brick shit house. He just looks like a twinky .

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

Maybe it'd be best to just leave it alone, and if he DOES slash your tires, you'll know who it was, and have enough evidence to prove he did it.

Well thats exactly what my Dad said. I spoke to my Police mate about it, he said not to worry about it, but he did say "does the college know?" So I'll speak to my tutor about it tomorrow morning. He did say not to worry about it, and I know that my car is parked in a public place where it is usually busy. And is very rarely raided at night. (once every decade?)

Quote from heson :

Do:
* Do a printout of the IM's (keep them safe)
* Tell him to leave you alone (Once, sincerely)
* Ignore him (except for above)
* Park your car somewhere safe or secret
* Consult your police friends

Do NOT:
* Humiliate him infront of others (the only way he think can regain his pride is to hurt you or your stuff)
* Physically abuse him (lets him hurt you by proxy (law), thats your move)

If he acts you might want to show him who is boss, preferably using legal ways.

The quotes in bold are the ones that I have already done, or intend to do .

Quote from nihil :

You are part of the problem here. He acts like an insecure teenager -> you all hate him and have demonstrated as much -> he responds with more anxiety induced aggression -> you react similarly...

Well I haven't really reacted similarly at all to his actions, I just been ignoring him since. Its come to the point that now I want to do something about it because hes targeted me. I'll give you guys an update later on tonight, because I'll be speaking to a few friends of mine who work with the police about it.

Quote from Paranoid Android :

Excuse me? Did I just read ''Kick in the balls?" Please tell me it's an english expression for something else...Or else you just confirmed my theory. If you already dirtied your hands like that then go ahead. You deserve each other, have fun!

English expression for something else . Basically he got "owned" verbally in front of the public, and swearing and insults weren't even in the part of the discussion .

Quote from STF :

ain`t the way to do it pal unless self defense.. especially with your palls, premeditated stuff. damn. well, then u have a history, i thought you were a good guy.
didn`t realize this was a juvie fight, or your fight. lol. do what you think it`s best, but think before you act

You read me wrong mate, like I said to android, it was an English expression. I study Karate, and pretty much only use it if I had to defend myself, and so far, haven't had to use it yet, and I like to keep it that way.

Quote from Paranoid Android :

Something tells me though that to trigger this attitude you haven't been exactly mature about how you treated him before.

I have been mature about it, he got 2 huge kick in the balls when myself, and a friend on seperate occasions put him down because of his attitude, and he felt completely humiliated because they were both in public enclosures. We weren't going to do it during class, because we were studying for our exams. I did my kick in the balls with him during class while we were waiting for the tutor arrived.

He just didn't like the facts that were based against him, and instead of sucking it up and learn from it, he acted like a sore loser, and decided to act hard to try and regain whatever he has of his pride and dignity.

[quote=Dajmin;698149]
Normally when it comes to bullying (which it is) I'd suggest a counter-offensive. Most bullies in my experience only pick on people who don't fight back and a quick smack round the head makes them think twice, even if you don't actually 'win' the fight.
But in this case it's a bit harder, because you need to park your car somewhere and it'd be vulnerable.
quote]

Exactly. The only problem is, I can fight back, both political and physically. Which did make me wonder why try to bully me? Makes me think he is trying to act hard for attention.

Hello LFS fellows. I come in seeking for advice. It's about a certain someone that I know that has been trying to be abusive to my friends, and just recently found out that he is threatining me behind my back.

I'll give you a brief on whats happened, that got him to this situation.

During the first semester in college, he was claiming to be a smart alec, trying to prove that he was a ladies man when he wasn't, and also couldn't take the retaliation digs when thrown back at him when he threw them at us college buddies.

Eventually it all came to a point where we all hated him, and he shifted his arse to another course as a January starter, because he didn't like the facts that we have said about him infront of his face *which were indeed true* He was a bully, selfish, pervert, and a waste of time in class, talking to others as we were trying to study for this years exam, basically being disruptive.

For us we thought we had peace and quiet, but it turns out that he wasn't going to let this go. He threated my mate, by simply saying he was going to "batter him" last week, only to not show up.

And now, he has threated me at someone who would pass the message on to me, that he was going to scratch my car, and slash my tyres. I'm going to assume for now, that he is going to try and damage my car. And its come to the point that I've decided to take some drastic action, which would give him a message of simply saying "Don't **** with me"

My friend has evidence on her msn via message history, where he explains to her that he is going to damage my car, so now that I'm in the storyline, I want to do something about it. She'll be printing the information off and passing it on to me.

There is a club that I go to on a weekly basis, and some of my friends happen to be police officers. And I'm going to be asking for their advice in what to do about the situation.

Is there anything else that I can do to sort this situation out without involving violence? I thought of going up to speak to him about it in a firm manner, but I'm having second thoughts, as I would rather have this matter done discreetly than in public.

The only upper hand, is that I know where he lives, but he doesn't know where I live, and that I have a bit of ammo on his actions, his behaviour, discrimative acts etc.

^^ Exactly.

Heath Ledger!

^^ My bad.

Quote from garph :

If you've not done it already.

The important ones are the chipset and audio drivers. The chipset one you need is the very last one and the audio one is the second to last one, the WinXP ones.

Do I need anything else apart from those two to get everything going?

I understand that I'll need the AMD Drivers, NVIDIA drivers, anything else?

^^ Next thing he is going to do is brag how much he has overclocked something online.... *puts earmuffs on* I know I'm deaf, I'm just taking extreme precautions.

Hi lads, in a slight complication, but I am sure it can be easily dealt with.

Me and a friend installed a SATA hard drive (500gb) for my PC, and I decided to have it reformatted, and start from scratch. *got my stuff backed up on my Dad's PC, so not all is lost*

Then we ran into a slight problem.

The disk to install the motherboard drivers is missing, so I can only assume that I misplaced it somewhere.

I had a look online at ASUS.com to see what drivers I need for my motherboard, and as it turns out, I'm not too sure exactly on what I need.

http://support.asus.com/downlo ... load.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

Can anyone assist, on what drivers I need to get the internet connection running on my PC from the router, the motherboard itself to get it working for accessibility, and the driver to install sound please?

I'm sure what I am looking for, but I'm not sure which one is it that I actually need since there are so many to choose from respectively.

My motherboard model is a ASUS AM2, MSN-SLI

Cheers

Hamilton commits to McLaren until 2012


McLaren have announced a five-year extension to their contract with star driver Lewis Hamilton. The new agreement, which starts for 2008, will run up to and including the 2012 season.

The announcement takes the length of McLaren’s relationship with Hamilton to a total of 15 years, believed to be among the longest running associations between a sportsman and a team in motorsport history.

"It’s fantastic for me that Vodafone McLaren Mercedes has extended my contract until 2012,” said Hamilton, runner-up in the 2007 drivers’ championship. “Whilst last year was my first year with the team in Formula One, I have been connected to McLaren and Mercedes-Benz since 1998 and feel that I could easily drive for this team for the whole of my Formula One career.”

Hamilton narrowly missed out on last year’s title after an amazing rookie season, which saw him take four Grand Prix victories. And while his new deal is almost certain to make him one of Formula One racing’s best paid drivers, the 23-year-old Briton insisted he is firmly focused on more success in the seasons ahead.

“I am with the right team to compete for race wins and both the drivers’ and constructors’ world championships in the future,” he added. “We will have a lot of challenges ahead, but I am 100 percent positive I am with the people to take them on.”

Announcing Hamilton’s new contract, McLaren team principal Ron Dennis said his driver had more than earned a pay rise: “Given Lewis’s performances over the course of the 2007 season, it is clear that improved financial terms were fully deserved and this formed part of the friendly negotiations with Lewis’s manager Anthony Hamilton.”

Following the departure of Fernando Alonso at the end of last season, Hamilton will race alongside former Renault racer Heikki Kovalainen in 2008. Both team and driver are confident it will prove to be a fruitful partnership.

“I am enjoying working closely with Heikki, Pedro (de la Rosa), Gary (Paffett) and the team as we push hard with the development of the MP4-23,” said Hamilton. “We have 57 days to go until the lights go out on the grid at Albert Park and we are motivated to make the most of this time and arrive in Melbourne with a competitive car."

McLaren’s Formula One CEO Martin Whitmarsh added: “Since Heikki joined the team in December, it has become more apparent how well he and Lewis will work together to become a competitive force for the team. We feel confident we have the prospect of another exciting season ahead."

Quote from pine-fin :

I know I didnt drive against the rules, but is this blocking or defensive driving? Im confused about the terms and if I say 'I blocked you on purpose' (just like in the video, I drove on purpose on the left side so he couldnt pass on the inside) they will just ban or kick me and say "You cant block, its not allowed!"

I'd say defensive driving. For me, blocking is when someone is deliberately weaving left and right on the track when you are trying to make a pass. Defending, is when you stick to your defending line, (staying on the inside line of a corner instead of your usual racing line would be an example) defending your position, making it difficult for the driver behind you to get past.
