Quote from danowat :Regardless of the chassis, I still think the zetec is just a trim and has no mechanical improvements

Yer tis just a trim level these days.

Quote from Jakg :EDIT Yeah swapping engines - my insurer will love me...

Depends which car it comes from. For example dropping the 2L from a Mondeo into my old Fiesta would barely raise insurance as they are (I think) in the same insurance group (9).

Quote from theirishnoob :rise against - give it all ( one of the need for speeds )

Yer I like that.

Halo and WoW soundtracks are good.

Yer won't be developing for it specifically just yet. However it managed to handle some more complex stuff I was doing yesterday with ease so I'll let it off for now

Bit of a shaky start for the new actors, and it's been made more unrealistic than before, but still could shape up to be a good series

...and not crumple into a ball when he hits a stray carrier bag. Oh wait that rules out a 106 too then...

Yer go for a Rallye if it really doesn't cost much more. Doubt you could have much more fun for the price

If you can't have fun with 84bhp you aint driving the right roads.

Strip the Proton out, then see what it's like. (I'm not serious, it becomes a pain when you want to take someone somewhere).

Quote from amp88 :Here is a good video illustrating the shattering of the dry carbon in a modern F1 nosecone.

Good god whilst that was quite interesting to watch, that has to be THE single worst video production I've ever seen. All I wanted to see was the effects of the impact, not a shit load of text spanning around the screen lol.

S14 isn't the G5 laser? That's one thing that put me off, apparently they have some tracking issues on certain surfaces

Formula 1 Grand Prix was not only my first racing game, but my first ever game. My Dad bought it for me for my birthday one year along with a joystick to play it with.

Epic epic game, IIRC it told you how long you'd been playing when you quit it, sometimes racked up into double figures in a day. Good times

Then stuff like Grand Prix 2 which was also good, NFS 2SE, 3, 4, 5, TOCA 2, Sports Car GT was good, few others along the way I guess. Then the 'modern' ones like RBR (my favourite racing game ever), GTR1 and 2, GTL, TDU, rFactor

Quote from G!NhO :ill have a look thanks

edit: what about the MX 518?

It fluctuates in price a lot, but it's a great mouse. Designed for bigger hands really if that's a consideration.

Quote from mr_x :
Photoshop - Very powerful, and CS4 is by far the easiest to use.

Out of interest, how much does CS4 differ from CS3? As I use CS3 on a daily basis and would rather not relearn the entire thing for a few more features I may never use.

Quote from theirishnoob :yes they are actally :|

i had a clio which made it to 523.4 k ( km's ) only rebuilt the engine twince, ate one head gasket and two fuel pumps...


virtually bullet proof till i beat a impreza in it and killed it in the procese...

R.I.P lil' rusty 1992 - 2008

Lol yer but I can tell you for a fact the designers didn't say "right, we need this engine and it's parts to last half a million miles because it's going to be driven across vast expanses of land it's whole life".

Quote from G!NhO :i dont think there is much of a difference in the pressing on the keys on both keyboards

There is. A big difference.

I like Dell keyboards myself, pretty quick to type on, faster than this G15. But the '15 is fine for me.

Ooooh... I won't be upgrading personally. The [G15] keyboard itself is nice, but the screen is essentially useless. That's not what I bought it for though.

An average European engine isn't built to last 500K+ miles as they aren't run across vast expanses of land all their life. Some American cars are.

Quote from bbman :Eh? Just by looking at the screen in the showrooms you'll notice that most TVs DON'T use TN - test it, if the image doesn't get dark when you watch it from a higher or lower angle, it's no TN... Those which do use TN are the cheaper, completely unknown brands... LG.Philips has IPS panels, Samsung PVA ones and AUOptronics has usually cheap(ly) copies of one of those two and those three share about 2/3 of the whole panel market...

Good point, I did make a crude assumption. Not sure how they are so cheap then compared to monitors. My current HP LP2465 cost more than most 32" TVs I've only ever owned non-TN panels other than well back in the day when a 17" TN cost several hundreds of £s.

Quote from Electrik Kar :XP / Vista / 7 performance comparison of various tasks.

1 is first (best)

My XP boots up WAY WAY WAY faster than Vista or 7 ever did.

Quote from PioneerLv :Why you monitor is set up like that?

I spend most of my day writing code, so portrait mode works much better for me. Can fit around 160 lines on the screen at a usable font size

Quote from three_jump :So it's not just me then? IE8 seems to handle divs different then previous versions but I haven't figured out yet where to fix it.

Yer it's all gone to shit. Bearing in mind I'm using an absolutely positioned div here, which TBF is created and positioned dynamically using jQuery, IE8 can't work it out properly. In compatibility mode (I assume falls back to IE7) its fine, as it is when tested in native IE7 (god knows what 6 would do with it).

IE8 will need conditional stylesheets sadly.

Gave it a spin in a VirtualBox VM today. Seems OK I guess, not much point echoing the facts people have already mentioned, performance etc.

The spilt windows thing is OK, still nobody has resolutions wide enough to make use of it unless you use >1920x1200. I use a portrait display anyway so that was useless to me. Dragging the window to the top of the screen to maximise? WTF, there's a button for that, there always has been. They do add some pointless features.

I quite like the taskbar, no need to have the program names there once you know what the icons mean. A bit like the OS X dock I guess.

Action center and control panel seem a little better than Vista, although I see 'set up a wireless device' way too many times.

...And then there's IE8. Haven't used this before due to it being beta etc. Fire it up, first site I go to is the latest web application I'm working on. Positioning is out. Thank you m$, so that'll be ANOTHER conditional stylesheet then

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :bumping this again.. These speakers are not high quality at all.. I already broke the subwoofer's bolt hole. Sub is attached with only 4bolts, wow.
So basically, the bolt came off when I was listening to music.. Didn't even use boosts. Now can't put it back and lol the bolt hole is now spitting woodshit from it. ehm any suggestions how to fix it without sending it back?

Never had a problem with Logitech myself, but then I've never tried to buy speakers from them. Send them back. Either get a replacement or something legit.
