Well if i had have made it to more than 2 of the last 4 weeks, i may have finished a place or two higher than 5th in the final standings...

Fish?...

:d

My logitech speakers do the same thing, it's quite creapy tbh...

It'd be something different from the karting i suppose... Plus, you can drink, and probably not die, out of a kart

I purchased this in Cuba the other week, i lol'd...

I know what you mean, but you can't blame them though, they are loaded now. Look at chelsea, when they roman bought them, it was only two years later they lifted the premiership trophy...

Hi all.

I have a problem on my wife's netbook, the wireless connection has suddenly stopped working properly.
If i try to connect, i search for a connection, which it finds succesfully with an excellent signal strength, then i hit the connect button once i've highlighted the connection and pop in the passkey. The problem starts when it then attempts to retrieve an ip address, it just doesn't get one, then tells me there's 'limited or no connectivity'.
I don't think there's a problem with my netgear modem/router, as the DHCP is switched on and serves out ip address' for fun to my laptop, PS3, PSP & mobile phone.
I've so far tried restarting the modem/router (including resetting to factory settings)and uninstalling the drivers for the wireless card and installing them again (both with original and the latest drivers). I've also tried setting an ip address manually but with no success. I've tried the 'repair' button, i've tried ipconfig /renew in cmd, nothing i can think of seems to work.

All was working fine until a couple of days before we went on holiday, when the connection just stopped with no explanation, but now we're back and i'm trying to get it sorted...

So does anyone have anything else i could try? or does it sound like i should take the machine back (it's only 2 months old)
It's a Dell Inspiron 1010 if thats of any help...

Thanks for any help


EDIT: Forgot to mention, if i plug the netbook into the network with a patch lead, it connects and retrieves an ip in moments...

I guess Wipeout HD is a worthy purchase.....snip...

I also got some game off the PSN where you put rubbish into a bin, can't remember what its called, but its good fun.

WipeoutHD is awesome, it takes up most of my PS3 time...

And that game is called 'Trash Panic'!!

Yeah, gratz guys!
Loved racing for you a few years back, as you gave me my very first place in a team! Great to see you're still going strong
Great skin btw

Quote from fuse5 :

what i'm referring to, is your attitude, which makes others believe that you think you are superior for having more knowledge in said topic. Which also makes people respond with similar upturned attitude.

qft

So how i like to listen to music is wrong? ok then, can't see how really, but as it's wrong, i'll listen to it how you like from now on...

/moff to listen to artificial sounding music..

Awesome!

Quote from DragonCommando :

Every live show, every recording booth, every single high end system I have used or even seen while working with my dad has had at least a ten band multi channel EQ.

I agree that an EQ is an essential in a studio, but i just can't see why anyone would find any use for one during playback... For me, it's the audio equivilant of ricing...
At the end of the day, it's down to personal taste, and i've got no beef with anyone who EQ's, i just don't understand how anyone can think it makes the sound better, thats all...

Quote from Zipppy :

Now.. :feedtroll


I agree with DragonCommando right there, I do the same thing to my ripped songs, I have them set to the bitrate of 128. I can't distinguish much of a difference between a song at 128 Kbit compared to a 320 Kbit version of it, even on my Logitech X-240 sound system. I listen mostly to rock and electronic music in general, drum & bass, trance, techno, etc.

I can't listen to some music in 128kbit mp3 on my system, it just sounds horrid. Anything clean sounding (ie not like DnB where there's sounds coming from all over the place) is just horrible at 128kbit, 320kbit is just about bareable.
But like you say, on my Logitech speakers, 128 is fine, as everything sounds crap through those

Quote from hazaky :

Wow, you listen to dnb and u dont know that bass is the most important thing in it. So are high tones. Eq is not for muffling any tone, its used to MAKE u hear the sound u need to hear. Changing eq doesnt change the sound, it changes the dB of the sound - different tone levels.

I listen to bassdrive too, its playng even right now

Ehh, yeah? I listen to DnB as well as a lot of other genres. But how can you say the Bass and the "High tones" are the most important in DnB? ALL of the sound in ANY music is the most important, if it's there in the source, then thats what you were supposed to hear and how you were supposed to hear it.
Of course changing the EQ changes the sound, it's boosting/reducing the db in different areas of the sound, hence, it's changing the sound. Adding EQ to music imo just makes it sound poor/terrible...

Quote from DragonCommando :

LOL, and what speakers do you expect that to work on?

Well, i have a pair of B&W 602s3's, which i would regard as nothing more than entry level (but a very fine loudspeaker all the same...), and running an EQ through these makes a horrible mess of the sound, same as any other speaker...

What is it with people and EQ's? Get the sound you were meant to hear and turn the EQ off

So is anyone going to LeMans for the 24hrs this weekend?
I'm gonna be there, getting there on Thursday to see the qually, then leaving Monday after the race. I'm really looking forward to it, it's my first time at the LeMans 24hrs, and my first visit to a track for a race since i went to Donnington in 98 for the BTCC!

So yeah, i guess it would be cool to meet up with some guys from here that are going to the race

Quote from kamo2000 :

Some laps before the end i had an incidient with car on 2nd place i can't remeber now who it was but i can say that i could do anything.. i was braking and the second car was just too slow on the entrance of the turn - i didn't expected that and could avoid contact.. I 'm sorry for that.

Fair play for appologising straight away.

I still feel that it was the result of a little impatience on your part though. I took that line through T1 (wide in, fast out) on every lap that i had total control of the car. I think if you had have waited rather than just steaming in, then you would have been presented with better opportunities to overtake towards the end of the race.

I don't usually get narked by these things, especially in public races, but 2 factors made me a little angry.
1) You are better than that, i've raced with you a lot of times, so i know.
2) I don't usually get podium opportunities, and had one unfairly taken from me tonight...

Anyways, i'll get over it, and thanks once again for saying sorry



So apart from that, i had fun. I made a n00b of myself in the first race when i thought we were on a different combo, and went straight on at the hairpin near the end of the lap. Fortunately, i only just clipped a guys front end, and i don't believe i damaged his car or hampered his race in any way (please correct me if i'm wrong, i will then beg for you forgiveness...). Must try to get onto the server before qually in future, just got back from work too late....

I was also quite pleased that i seemed to be at least keeping up with Troy for the first half of the feature race. Unfortunately though, the cracking rhythm i was settled into was upset by my finger catching the downshift paddle mid corner, the subsequent fight to keep the car on track, and then the Kamo incident.

Well, i will be buying it when it finally gets released, i don't care if it hasn't got the best physics (thats what LFS is for...), it'll still be a cracking thumb twiddling title

Got any links to info on the PS3 version?

Nice race, congrats on your first win!

I wish i'd have known you were racing there though, look below how close i am to Mallory!!

Gotta' say, i didn't mind watching it again

Gotta say, thats a pretty good start to the driver line up
