Just do it? I paid €15 for the pandora battery and a 4GB stick, takes 5 minutes to do it, and it's done forever. It's not even hard, just put the stick into your PC, run a program, put the stick back into the PSP, and hold down two buttons

It really is worth it though, I got an 8GB stick for less than €10 a few months ago, backed up all my games onto it, can now play all my games anywhere without having to carry and swap UMDs

Quote from 91mason91 :Irn Bru in the morning always does the trick but you have to be careful when you drink it.
Drink it straight after waking up - u will spew
Drink it after uhave ate something - u may spew
Wait an hour or so after waking up - u'll be fine

Irn Bru or anything equally "hard" does not go down well with me...More drink or a shite load of water works all the time. The trouble with the water is it WILL make you sick, but you feel better afterwards. And more drink will just top-up what's already in you, effectively clearing any unwanted effects though

Although after a wedding on Friday, we hit double JD's for the open bar, and I woke up at 7AM in someone's living room...First thing I did was have a full Irish, felt 100% after Although the drink probably hadn't even worn off, we did hit it fairly hard due to an open bar from midnight


Quote from Crashgate3 :Anything beyond unpalatable in army rat-packs is completely made up for by the inclusion of Oatmeal Blocks, which are simply the most wonderful food ever produced. Do they still have them?

Yes, but they're usually all soggy and horrible. Shortcakes hold their un-sogginess much better and are sometimes in there instead. By FAR the best thing we have are the mint cakes. It's like a stick of pure mint. Best thing in the army, after the mess of course

I'd advise both of you to change all of your LFS passwords, just to be sure. The e-mail doesn't look very authentic to me

Quote from CSU1 :Curiosity saw me buy this for lunch today, well...is't like posh dog food .... Yuck. Never again

*pukes*


You should try the army issue all day breakfast rations then. Stuff of legend. It's a tinfoil bag of beans, with a few minced sausages and an unidentifiable squishy blob like a cross between a hashbrown and omlette. There's actually a mass crush to get the ration packs with the all day breakfasts in them. It's either that or spotted dick, and I don't think anyone's had the balls to open it and see what it is

Quote from tristancliffe : People (read: police) might think a, err, somewhat younger person had stolen it.

Thankfully, my car is the size of a fisher-price car, so I don't have these problems I can also park it sideways in quite a few parking spaces, screw parallel parking

Big cars (BMW?) aren't so good for a first car. Expect to give it a nice few tings, and hope you don't wrap it round a tree

Quote from Jakg :No, not at all. Not sure what details you'll need though - I only have info on the DSGi specific portal (unhelpfullying grabbing the domain name "Win7Upgrade.co.uk")

Quote :*Offer only available from June 26th 2009 until October 23rd 2009 for Vista Premium, Business and Ultimate operating systems.

I have both, I presume it doesn't matter that the PC has a faulty motherboard though?

Quote from Jakg :26th of June.

Sorry, never looked it up. All I know is I have a damaged in transit PC I found for €5 in a bargain bin, so I'm going to use that as a cheapy upgrade to W7 when it's released.

Quote from Jakg :"Free" upgrade, but P&P can get cheeky - some manufacturers charge £8, some (Yes, HP & Compaq you cheeky gimps) charge £21.99 for P&P!Thats for the upgrade-which-is-actually-full version. New PC's or retail copies bought within the upgrade period get a "free" upgrade.

Like I said, "very little", not "free".

If the PC comes with Vista, you'll be entitled to a cheap upgrade to W7 from MS. I think the cutoff date was 30th of June, so if you buy a new PC with Vista after that date, you can upgrade for "very little", or so they say

Quote from StableX :If I'm not mistaken, what you need is a crossover cable rather than a standard cat5. The ends are configured differently.

Only if you're using an ancient network card. All 1Gb/s ethernet ports can connect to each other using standard CAT5 cabling.

Bridging connections never worked for me, what I did was right-click on the wireless network on the laptop, hit properties, and enable ICS on the ethernet port. I used this setup for over 6 months with no problems, when I had no wireless card for the PC

It's done in the LFS Username password entry box, so it should be done for the server password box too. Maybe it could show up in plain text if you click to edit it then?

+1 anyway

I can't create an account or login to my old one. I can't complete any training level without it plastering "YOU ARE FULL OF FAIL" all over my screen. I can't even play online, the only thing there is in the game, apart form the 4 or 5 training missions, that don't work.

I've heard of buggy games, but this is taking it a bit far. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing sure is looking good right now :rolleyes:

Quote from STROBE :VM's indian call centres would be funny if they weren't so excruciatingly painful to deal with. I had to ring up recently when I got home from work to find my broadband was off. After pushing all the numbers for the correct department to narrow it down to a broadband fault before I even spoke to anything, then spent 15 minutes on hold, I finally got through.

"Hello, I'm just phoning up to report that my broadband internet isn't working."

"Could I take your name please sir?"

"Yes, it's Mr. <removed>".

"Thank you sir. Thank you for contacting Virgin Media, how may I help you today?"

<slight pause>

"Err, my broadband internet isn't working." Thinking to self: did I not just say that five seconds ago?

"Ok, let me take a look at that for you.

<pause>

How are you doing today Mr <removed> sir?"

"What? I'd be a lot ****ing happier if my expensive cable broadband was working, I'm not phoning up for a social chat, just get cracking with diagnosing the problem or booking an engineer to fix it."

Ok, so I didn't say that last bit, but jeez, they have their script and they're going to stick to it like a divorce lawyer to Jordan. Utterly useless.

Ah the memories :rolleyes: I spent 2 solid weeks trying to kick 3 into action when they "lost" my number when porting it. For 2 solid weeks the indian call centre guys tried to convince me it just needed to be re-ported. 14 times they tried it Best of luck, you'll need it I'd say
