3 unlocks per week - your S2 license will always let you use S2 content (S2 cars, S2 tracks) no matter what version you have (0.6, 0.7, 0.9, 1, 2, 15, 356 etc)
If a BROWSER (a separate program!) doesn't manage it's cache properly... how is that the OS' fault?
Yes, but in "Cleaner" mode it doesn't touch the registry, only files. CCleaner has a "Registry" mode, but that doesn't show the size of files.
On a 3 week old OS?
My *entire* registry on my laptop is <350 MB, and that OS is a year+ old.
Plus, CCleaner doesn't actually tell you the size of the registry entries it removes.
Temporary internet files aren't really the fault of the OS...
You wont have accrued 1.8GB of registry files... ever.
Really?
You bought an "old" OS when it's successor was already out - a successor which featured new kernels, new versions of DirectX, many MANY other large changes under the hood, and expected it to be able to run all the new stuff for 5 years?
Are you new to technology?
Considering the amount of work that goes into an OS, I can't say £70 is bad value.
Not normally - at work we have to send pretty much everything back or it gets returned without being looked at.
Remember they get LOADS of not-faulty returns - a misdiagnosed software issue etc which they need to try to spot.
Although you should NEVER send your laptop back with your data on it. For many issues, a standard step is a factory restore....
Although a full refund on a 2.5 year old laptop is a very VERY generous offer.
Well good for you.
Unfortunately, not an option for me - would take a day or so to do. Plus, last time I did it the cable broke, and I couldn't face doing it all over again, so now I'm using PowerLine networking. More than fast enough for what I use it for.
Yes, but could you run and install that cable in 5 minutes?
I have an ATi 4830 and have had problems with Photoshop's GPU acceleration.
I think it's just a driver issue, though... haven't got round to fixing it.

Had a proper look today....
Mmmm overspray, signs of a quality repair job...

If possible, insurance repair... failing that I'll probably try to buy it off the insurance company and repair it myself
Looks bad, but I think they'll be able to repair it. Haven't had a proper look yet, though.
Car got repaired (although not very well I hasten to add...)
And today someone decided it looked better how it was and rear-ended her again!
My Mum's not exactly a brilliant driver (much more "reactive" than "pro-active") but you can't really try to blame someone who was stationary on the entrance of a roundabout... (although I know BlueFlame will try).
Found another owners graph...
"TU3b" is the forerunner to the tuning box thing my car has.
Doesn't have the massive flat-spot, either... might try messing with the settings.

Yes and no.
I have a tuning box thing which has the same sort of net effect. Unfortunately, it also enables you to use a much cheaper and much more reliable type of MAF - so if I were to remove it, I'll need a new MAF sensor (£180 for the Bosch one...).
Having said that - unlike most of the eBay special tuning boxes, the guy who makes these actually knows his stuff. I'll have to have a look at some other rolling road graphs from other owners to see if that explains anything...
I'm currently thinking it could be something like a dodgy MAF or an injector problem (maybe). Seems to pull well enough, though...
I have to agree - there are loads of eBay ones that quote north of 160 or even 170 HP which are obviously made up. But like I said, the guy who makes these ones actually knows what he's doing (rather than just making it overfuel and hope nobody notices).
Engines the same, but the turbo is different - the 320d has a variable vane turbo, which makes more power (but is notorious for failing).
Got my car on the rollers today...
Headline figures:
153hp (114kw) @ 3700 RPM
249 ft-lb (338nm) @ 2700 RPM
Stock is 131 / 221, so a fair improvement
Power graph looks a bit wierd between 1900-2750 PM though.

There is no way you got that car in with those cars where they are without bumping them.
At School me and my friends used to park as close as possible to each other... until my friend misjudged it and ended up parking his bumper in the door of my car... wasn't happy.
The best I've seen was down the road...
They are parked like this every day!
EDIT - I used to go for tiny spaces in my old car, but I love my new car far far too much to risk it now.

$6 a can in the US - £9 a can over here + delivery + VAT 
Just a shame it's not that cheap... 1 can = £15 delivered
Is that power source just for the CPU? From memory thats also used for other parts of the mobo, and then some of the ATX power cables also deliver power to the CPU.
Plus - there will be VRM's etc converting 12v to 1.5v - different motherboards will have different efficiencies - even if you found a "direct" CPU feed, you could still get large variations easily.
I've never seen a review done any other way. How would you measure it?
Even so... does it matter? It's obvious from the graph all those are PC-usages, not CPU - as long as they are all the same type of test it's still fair.
And if were pushing semantics - AMD require that as part of the AM3 socket design specification that each pin is rated for a 1.5A load.
1.5A @ 1.5V = 2.25w per pin. Accross 938 pins thats 2.1kW. Obviously not all are power (in fact very few will be), but if even 100 were for supplying +1.5v then you've got 225w right there.
Obviously the figures quoted aren't JUST for the CPU - they are for the entire PC, which is how they are always quoted...
Really?
:/
This is where I got the idea from...
Why does using OEM wheels mean I want to make my car look like something it's not?
I much MUCH prefer the design of OEM alloys than of aftermarkets.
To answer my questions...
Durable - seems it
Colours - for me, it's down to black or white. No grey.
Finish is matte only.
Probably will do it to my winter wheels though - just need to chose between black or white.
On a related note, some photoshops...
Standard Hairpins vs BMW Style 63's (X5 Wheels) vs Style 63's in gunmetal.
