Quote from Leifde :

good racing

Please say you're joking there...in one of the FR2.0 races one car managed to punt another one while under safety car, a couple of people in other races had offs during safety car periods and the general standard of racing was worse than that on many public LFS servers. That said, it was a good weekend, just a shame that the "simulator" they had on a competition to win a PSP was Formula 1 on the Playstation O_o

Hmm...I speak:
Yorkshire
Pretty damn rusty bit of German (GCSE grade B 2 years ago, forgotten most of it)
Google's form of 1337 (i.e. I can convert http://www.google.co.uk/intl/xx-hacker/why_use.html to English again)
That's pretty much it...monolingual really

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

HARJUN! STOP MESSING AROUND WITH STUFF, AND LEAVE IT AS IS, BECAUSE YOU'VE WASTED MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME OF OURS!.

It's not only the time of people who have read and replied to his threads that he has wasted...it's his own.

Harjun, this is the last message I'll be posting in any of your threads until you learn to do your own research before coming running for help when you mess something up, despite advice not to bother.

My message is this: put the machine back together, clock it back to stock levels, and STOP. You've created nothing but trouble for yourself by overclocking it, and you're only going to create more trouble by trying to overclock the graphics. Follow Jack's advice: sell the laptop and buy a desktop, they're much better for LFS and gaming in general.

UKCT will have a car there

Scratch that...Renault World Series killed the idea of a UKCT car at the practice, will be there for the actual event though

POWERTHIRST!

I'll be there on both days, along with a few other UKCTers, we made an outing of it last year, may as well do the same this!

I totally missed your attempt at being funny there, really didn't work

Quote from theirishnoob :

i think that there should be more characters allowed so you can do type art ( words made using dots , / and such ) its the next best thing if you not allowed img's

ASCII art is large, cumbersome, and not needed on a forum signature. -1

My sig is pretty close to the limit (524/600 characters) and has all the info I want on it, yet it only takes up 2 lines. I don't think the problem here is not having enough characters, it's people not using them characters to their fullest potential. For example, unneeded BBCode in sigs also adds to the total character count, as do unneeded spaces and dashes between userbars *koff Jack* . I'd say people should use their sigs more conservatively, and not waste all their characters on useless things

Quote from harjun :

oh yeh....it does actuallly....FYI OMG ....AFK ATM

Proof?

It will on my 233MHz Pentium 1 with MMX! [/leet]

Quote from harjun :

it was off a Pentium Pro, which was running at 100 Mhz, i dont know which computer is, but it allowed me to enter bios and it managed to be overclocked to 900Mhz...and with that "crappy" fan on it, load temps were 40-45, but there were a few other random fans, and it looks like some heat spreaders on the VGA, i guess my dad had built it a long time ago

That's just crap, for 3 reasons. First reason: No socket 8 motherboard in existence will allow a Pentium Pro to hit 900MHz (the Multi and FSB are nowhere near high enough, and even if they were, the processor would be massively unstable, and not even POST).
Second reason: The Pentium Pro was manufactured in 150MHz, 166MHz, 180MHz and 200MHz flavours, so even your original clock is wrong.
Third reason: The Pentium Pro didn't have a temperature sensor. Therefore checking core temperatures with them isn't possible.

Before making claims, CHECK YOUR FACTS!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that setting FSB and Multi in the Pentium Pro days involved shifting jumpers around on the motherboard. So even your method of overclocing wouldn't work

Use the mouse then! Hold left button down and move the mouse around, you'll find it more responsive than the keyboard

UKCT will have a car there

Bit long, so I pastebinned it: http://pastebin.com/f3be60e18

May we have Jakg added as a main driver and the other two reserve drivers to remain so, please

UKCT would like to add UKCT..BeckyRose (LFSW: Becky Rose) and UKCT..Dustin (dawesdust_12) as reserve drivers.

I think EasyBCD can reinstall the Vista bootloader, but I'm not sure if it can do so from within XP. You'd have to try. If that fails, booting from the Vista DVD and reinstalling the bootloader from there would be the way to go.

UKCT's skin is attached, as is a PSD of the UKCT logo
