To be honest it does look very similar
I think for your sake that you didn't copy anything from it.. Maybe you have never even seen the other app but you don't want to get into the legal side for copyright infringement with a company.. Trust me I've been there

Not saying you did or did not copy anything but I'd be careful

I just happened to have the camera at around 10pm as I was walking home.. So I decided to give it a quick little night shot

haha, yeah was a little cold today to get as far as Kinghorn lol. Got as far as the Seafield Tower and turned back xD

A few images taken with my S4200.. Not exactly the best weather or light but the pictures taken aren't that bad


24x zoom is quite impressive too, can be seen on the small PILOTS boat a few images in, The picture of the wall you can see how far the boat is away, then zoomed you can clearly see the name, flag and cabin

Wall Shot, No Zoom..

Same position, full 24x zoom..

I don't see why not.. if anything it would bring more new users and a bit advertising.

Got the S4200 for £60 still in warranty and taken <10 pics
I'll save some cash and get a decent DSLR once I've gotten used this camera.

No point jumping straight into a DSLR from a smartphone and not knowing how to use it to its full potential lol.. I'll use this camera and get used to it, some decent pics etc then go for a better one in 6 months to a year

Any reviews on the Fujifilm S4200?

I can get one for £75 + £5 P&P on eBay.. it was bought in Feb2013 from PC World. Says he took <10 pics then put back in the box. Still under warranty for 4 months as it includes the original receipt from the shop

I've been looking at reviews and images taken with the camera and for its price it seems quite impressive

Any reviews? Before I snap it up before its gone lol xD

I'm not looking for anything spectacular, just something fairly decent to start off with.
Around £120.. Fujifilm S4200, Nikon L310, Samsung WB101
I can get a WB101 for £80 brand new unused..

Or with a bit luck a 450D kit for around £220-250.. Need to save a bit more but probably worth it compared to the other cameras.

(Not sure if here is the right section but I suppose its 'other hardware' and I think offtopic is cluttered enough xD)
Soo.. I'm sure theres a few photographers around here somewhere so I'll ask

I'm looking to get into photography at a slightly more amateur level with a cheapish DSLR/Bridge camera, rather than just plain old 8MP smartphone camera with average quality lenses that don't really take good enough pictures to write home about.. Unless its a Nokia which are a little better with the Carl Zeiss lenses but I'd like a dedicated digital camera to carry around on my many ventures out walking the lovely Scottish wilderness haha

Basically just looking for some info, recommendations for a camera round the £150 mark that takes pretty decent pictures for that price range.
I've seen the likes of the Fujifilm S2800/S2900... Nikon L310... Canon 1000D etc.. but then I'm sure they all have their good and bad points for that price.
Not too worried about video capture resolution or quality.. Just raw image clarity in outdoor, bright, dull, rainy conditions. Mostly be used around a lot of greenery/grass... greys/rocks/hills... landscape... beaches.

I've used DSLR's before so it doesn't have to be something that my granny could use without problem, just don't have all that cash to throw at a decent one with lenses and all that good stuff lol.. And well I'm not exactly an expert so no point jumping in the deep end with a pro level DSLR.. Though I'd probably learn faster if I could afford it lol..

Anyways, Suggestions.. Tips.. Whatever.. All welcome

When I lived with my parents my dad and I used to do home brew stuff anything from Apple and Pear cider made from real fruit juice. Heavy beers, Light beers, Stout, Liquorice stout.. Wine.. A bash at Shots, WKD type stuff. Its fun to 'experiment' and make new flavors. Once did a vimto wine too sweet but was ok, probably around 10%. 'Turbo' Ciders been around 12%
Completely Legal in the UK for personal consumption, need a licence to sell. And also a licence to distill for things like whisky, vodka etc..

Get a 'Phablet' like the Galaxy Note or Note II xD
Massive as a phone but big enough for tablet like stuff. Best of both worlds lol

Beer? Pff Real men drink spirits xD
Unless it's a good Irish stout

Last update here was in 2009 lol sooo...

Old pic, Removed that HDD bay and added an SSD at the MB Tray.



Moving house in September so I'll be getting a new desk, and eventually a bigger monitor natively capable of 1080 or higher
or add another 560Ti and go triple screens

I just downloaded 1.4.3 and tried it on 0.6E and its working fine

So it may be your ports or different versions of the app or lfs.. idk its obviously doing something wrong to get kicked off by wouldblock then reconnect and error even more xD

Also when recording video from the screen with any recorder its best to record/save to a separate hard disk (where windows isn't installed), unless you have an SSD as your main drive then it won't matter.
If you don't have another drive that has a decent write speed then just lower the game quality settings or record at a lower res, or both

Its a good idea to do it for free, but it'd make a lot more sense to actually cut a piece of wood that actually fits the screw holes and then take the time and do some measurements to get the new wheel centered and straight...??
Nice but without care an attention its just stupid IMO

10 seconds on Google and I found it...Pays to have a look first

You know, everyone has to start somewhere. Maybe he doesn't have the money to rent a dedicated server to host it on, or at least the access to PayPal or any other internet banking means to pay for it.
Hell I ran SA-MP servers from my home a few years back, Fair enough it was on my own secondary PC running a Server OS for dedicated servers but it was still at home and not paying to rent one.

Some people just love to be internet ****s, taking the piss out of someone for trying something, or doing something they enjoy/want to do.
He's obviously a teen who's still at school and cannot leave his PC on 24/7 because he actually respects his parents and listens to them, putting the PC off at night and at school. Not everyone's parents spoil their kids with everything they want and let them do as they please

Not trying to shoot you down, or so to speak but what can you offer than other popular cruise servers don't already have. Features that deem it necessary to take your own time to run on your own home PC/Server or whatever.
Also do you have an internet connection that is stable enough with appropriate upload speeds to run a server on, appropriate port are opened etc.. I know LFS doesn't need to use that much bandwidth but slow upload means less players, or more players with less packets per second.. equaling annoying lag and jumpiness
Also if your ISP has any sort of traffic management then you may run into that with any number of players. I know Virgin its only around 4GB upload then throttled to 25% of the speed :/

Is it really worth the time and effort to run the server? And if you run it on your own PC that you use daily, and/or use to play LFS. Can it handle running a server with however many connections are on at that time, Plus play LFS as well.

The image is part of the whole design so I guess the only way to have the originals is if Victor (or who ever made it) still has all those images that were used

It's a Cisco graded course but there's quite a bit with Microsoft networks and OS, as well as Linux OS and servers.
It's dull and boring on the theory side but it gets the qualifications and certifications for future

Just spent 4 months (1 of 4 days a week) installing and configuring a Windows Client & Server. Boring simple stuff but its a 1st year class and we all have to start at the beginning for those who don't have a clue xD
Learning basic TCP/IP & OSI models, Routers, Switches, Hubs.. Design and plan and build a network etc

TBH the first year is gonna be long and boring but next year its more hands on with networking kit and finally get into the security side of things. More in depth with Windows/Linux Servers.

College studying Cisco Networking and Security. Working towards CCNA in Routing&Switching as well as CCNA Security
also self-studied Software Development at home before doing the current course path in college.

Quote from Matrixi :

Uhh.. no. The 8350 which is the fastest CPU that AMD offers, can barely compete with an i5-3570K

Looking a lot of different benchmarks the 8350 @ ~4.5GHz is about the same as a stock i7 3770k, Obviously Intel is the better of the two but it does pretty well against its oppositions, even if it needs to be overclocked to its max and watercooled, it can keep up for most purposes.

Quote from Matrixi :

When AMD FX chips are overclocked, they push insane amounts of heat and pull in equally insane amount of watts.

As with all, or most, AMD chips they all run quite hot especially when starting to overclock and start pulling scary amounts of wattage.
I have the 1090T 6core running at 4.5GHz watercooled and is 20-23C idle, ~45C 100% load. I've never verified but at the current clock speed and voltage it pulls around 147w at load.
Without having it watercooled it'd probably be approaching is TDP of ~67C, even with the best air cooler on the market it'd be almost impossible to reach those clocks and voltage, or it'd be scary hot under load.. and even at idle.

Quote from Matrixi :

I really hope not. Intel is already abusing it's dominance in the enthusiast market....If AMD dropped out completely from the mid- to high end markets, we would all be in deep sh*t very soon. Without AMD in the game, Intel would have no reason to keep pushing R&D forwards.

Yeah obviously AMD needs to at least try to keep up and keep releasing competing chips otherwise Intel would have 100% share of the CPU market but I think AMD needs to change their gameplan, Intel's quad chips perform significantly better than AMD's 6 and 8 cores. More cores doesn't mean its better.
Other than true multi-threaded applications that can utilize those cores/threads there is no need for any more than 4, for gamers its useless and a waste of power. I'd rather see a quad core AMD that can perform close to what Intel's i7s can.
(But then I guess as Intel uses 2 threads per core and AMD uses just 1 thread per core.. AMD needs the extra cores to get those extra threads...)

Indeed, Intel's CPU's are far more superior to AMD and probably always will be. AMD boasts about their new 8/12 core CPU's yet Intel's i7 4/6 cores can perform 50% better and more in some cases.

Cheerio said they were better. I said the price vs performance was better.
The FX8350 is about £150 or so and when overclocked performs just like a 3770k at stock clocks.. Yet the 3770k costs about £250, £100 more than AMD.
Intel will always be better than AMD with CPU's and AMD should concentrate more on Graphics to take on Nvidia since AMD will never catch Intel imho

AMD wins for Price vs Performance, but in terms of pure performance AMD is falling way behind Intel i7's even with their latest FX.
Well the FX-8350 is about the same as an 3770k but... AMD needs 8 cores & 8 threads to do what Intel does with 4 cores with 8 threads? xD
