Hey guys, was just playing LFS yesterday and realised there was already snow falling!
And this morning the grounds covered with the beautiful stuff.
This is hertfordshire, do any of you other guys have snow around where you live?

if you've built the computer yourself you might have to up the RAM voltage to 2.1, this is what happened to mine when i first got it, then all was fine.

thank you

Quote from mr_x :

Right.... where do I start.

I AM NOT WORKING ON MINIMUM WAGE BECAUSE I WANT TO.

I left college 2 years ago, didn't bother with university because most jobs in IT come better with experience - so I thought I'd get a job.

I spent ONE YEAR on Job Seekers Allowance - the most depressing time of my life. I was applying for 10-20 jobs a week, sending out speculative CVs etc. etc. Doing ANYTHING for a full 365 days to try and find a job. And got nothing.

Last year I got put through this New Deal thing through the Job Centre, where I was put on placement for 13 weeks as a Computer Technician, great it's the job I wanted to do! - the person I worked for kept me on, but because it's a small business minimum wage is all he can afford me on - although I think he could pay me more. I'm just thankful I'm in a job SO I CAN EARN MY OWN MONEY

Now where I live (North-East England out in the sticks) there aren't a great deal of IT jobs going, I've applied for most if not all of the ones that crop up in Newcastle and Durham, yet I always get rejection letters due to my lack of experience.

So, more recently I've started looking furhter away - Nottingham and Leicester being 2 of the places I've been applying for jobs at. I never hear from ANY of them. Why? Because I'm 200 miles north and they think I'm probably having a laugh.

I'm now looking to get Microsoft Certified which will hopefully give me a much better chance at a new job (10x better than before).

Since I started working where I work now, I've been looking for a new job, applying for any I see. I've had 3 interviews because I'm not experienced enough.

I see your comments as quite insulting to be honest, you're implying I am completely thick, when I'm not - I left school with 10 GCSEs grade A-C and left college with a qualification equivalent to 2 double A's at A-Level.

Just because you're 'educated' doesn't mean you get straight into a job at £20k+ per year... You STILL HAVE TO WORK FOR IT. Most people do anyway.

Harjun - I have a suggestion for you. Go away, and don't come back with your downright rude, insulting and demeaning comments. Only come back IF you understand the meaning of life, not being spoilt by parents all the time. Thank you.

You're most welcome.

with both plays concent like sending setups the user my tow a nother with a invisable or visable tow rope which can be broken at any time

IN ENGLISH:
With both players permission (rather like sending a setup), one user may tow another with an "invisible" tow rope which can be broken.

Quote from mr_x :

£100 is ALOT of money, i'm in minimum wage, 30 hours a week with a car to run... Means i get about £135 a week.

My parents take £40 a week in board (not much, but i'm not complaining)
I put £40 a week in a separate bank account for car maintenance/repair/insurance etc.
I then use £10-20 per week in petrol for the car (average £15)
Social life costs £20-30 a week depending on how much I go out and where to. Lets call it an average of £25

So lets see... £40 + 40 + 15 + 25 = £120... leaving me with £15 A WEEK to save for myself/buy things with, multiply it by 52... £780 a year to spend on myself, or even spend on things that break... Not alot of money at all really! it's about £2 a day...

Harjun IF you ever grow up you will very quickly realise that £100 is a hell of alot of money in the real world. I'd pay for front row seats to watch 'Harjun Fails in the Real World'

Learn to appreciate what you have rather than talking a load of bullshit. There are reasons why people don't like you... Your complete ignorance of money being one of the reasons.

mate thats why it's called MINIMUM wage, go get a proper job, educated people like my parents, and me going to haberdashers boys school, is gonna grow up to become something like a dentist or go into medicine.
if you're educated enough Minimum wage is minimum to live, you should be taking £0 in for your social life. that money is to live on all the minimum luxuries in life.

pfff like what...

why did you crash
you alright
wanna go different server?

abuse players on the server

9800GTX in SLI

lol

How much do you pay for your internet connection per month.
And you just said you're earning over £100 a week, a week is nothing when there are 52 of them in a year.
And clearly £100 is not much for my dad considering he owns his own pharmacy store, and has 3 people employed, and earning his fair bit a day.

my reputation is fine, its just some peoples minds are affected by my present by sheer arrogance and immaturity.

Quote from pb32000 :

No it's not.

Do you realise how hot silicon can get before you start to have problems?

Once again people spouting out shit they hear online as if they know it all.

e: I'm kinda sick of people giving this guy crap because his parents (or whoever it be) can afford to buy him things. If you don't like it stop damn well whining about it. It's his choice of what he decides to do, either offer help or be quiet.

S14 Drift you very rarely have anything useful to offer, how ironic it is that £100 in the real world as you like to call it doesn't get you very far. But obviously you'd know that because you're 'so in touch'. I don't think you'd take that tone if your parents offered you a similar situation. Jealousy makes people say lots of things.

Additionally if anyone thinks 50 or 75 degrees is too hot for a CPU you're very likely wrong. Try reading up on it, Crashgate obviously has, and thus has useful advice to offer.

One of my machines is idling at 62 degrees right now. What's going to happen, is it going to melt into a horrible mess of silicon? No, it's going to carry on running like that as it has been for the past couple of years. And when it reaches 85 under load what is going to happen? Again, the same thing that has happened the past few years to it, and hundreds of thousands of other machines like it out there - it's going to be fine.

Thank you.
and seriosly though, if you guys think £100 is a lot of money for something which is going to last a year or so, you are wrong. I can be getting around 40 pence a day and earn more than £100 for as long as the cpu will last.

ohkay...apart from the fact im only putting 1.55V through it which is intels max recommendation.
By the time is breaks (2 or so years) i'll be looking around for an up-to-date computer anyway.

Yeh, but im not gonna kill it. Its on 60 C max at 3.7Ghz.
for an E8400, it's not much, only £100.
I get about that much from auntie's etc. in cash for birthdays and stuff. It's just a reward for living 1 more year.
