Quote from sam93 :That looks similar to the old mans, does yours have the hard drive for storing your music on and support DVD's and so on? Ours might just look similar.

Nah it doesn't, it's the DXZ648RMP, whatever that stands for. It's a couple of years old, specs are here.

Depends how seriously you take your audio. My couple-of-year-old Clarion headunit looks a bit OTT (although not in comparison to most) but it provides the kind of quality I wanted, and indeed more inputs/outputs than you can shake a stick at. But then I guess it was £200, which is a lot in comparison to the car.

I'd say those connectors are most likely to be pre outs, input seems a bit far-fetched for a stock HU.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Homeplug is that piece of shit idea to use the electric cables for the internet? That's probbably the most likely problem. Just get a wireless routher and use that on it's own. If the range is too much, buy two and get the first one to connect to the second one.

Wireless is that piece of shit idea that drops packets all over the place isn't it?

Use what is best for your application.

Quote from Shotglass :until just a few years ago most of the good universities (eg mit) taught functional programming (scheme) first

Ahh ok, I'm just speaking from personal experience, so only in the past couple of years really.

According to the GREET model, the average conventional internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) is comprised of 61.7% steel, 11.1% iron, 6.9% aluminum, 1.9% copper/brass, 2.9% glass, and around 13.6% plastic/rubber.

By calculating the energy required to manufacture a specific mass of each material type, and then factoring the above percentages into the overall mass of a vehicle, we can get a reasonable estimate of the amount of energy that went into producing the vehicle.

Essentially the average car takes 69142 BTU/kg to build, an average hybrid takes 85209 BTU/kg. I've pulled these figures from here.

You might just get away with it in a Prius' lifetime, when you factor in fuel costs.

Of course the price is falling, people are interested and presumably supply is high. However you still can't go too far wrong with it. Refer to the gold thread here posted a few days ago.

Quote from lerts :i dont see why i deserve to be criticized as stupid when i just did something good for the world

before people searching for how to fixed an accidentally reversed compass would find no answers now if you search for reverse compass is easy to find my video:

http://www.google.es/search?hl ... scar+con+Google&meta=

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_ ... e_compass_magnet_polarity

is not that i changed the world but put a little grain of help

Adding yourself to a wiki then letting Google index it isn't that hard. You might as well have just given the video a better title and get that indexed.

Obviously this doesn't gel well with the stereotypical music tastes of gamers, but this lady is quickly climbing my frequently listened to artist chart. A sometimes gentle yet enchantingly strong voice is what stands out for me here.

That first song - boring cheap rubbish.

It's possible, I think you need to run the Video Config tool that runs the first time you start it - I imagine the program is in the main folder somewhere. Then you should be able to set it to directx7 mode.

Ha yer perhaps it's just a general trait of LCDs. Mine's not TN though which is why I kinda expected higher delay times etc.

I don't understand WHY a Crossfire bridge and an SLI are the same fit. You would have thought to avoid confusion...

Quote from AMB :I only just got CS:S but headshots are easy, infact the game is too easy.

I suggest you change servers then. You can only get better by playing people who are better than you.

I stopped playing CS around easter time, although would still be up for a bash occasionally, any else still play here?

Quote from Jakg :I count the number of people who indicate to overtake me and usually it's about 5 people out of the 50 or 60 who have overtaken me.

Eh you let people overtake you? I need to rethink my driving style.

Nah I think it's human nature, that's why you get crowds surrounding fights in the street etc - however there's no need for it online. Heated discussion yes, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Quote from CSU1 :...If I ran a linux virtual machine within windoze running a p2p app and downloaded a virus to VM.tmp would the virus be contained within kernel or would it spread through memory to windows filesystem anyone???

If it is downloaded to a folder that has both Windows and Linux access then yes, if not then no. By that I mean virtual machine shared folders.

For example sure it's safer to download the warez on a Linux virtual machine, but at some point you are going to run it on Windows (assuming we're talking about Windows software here), so unless you have it scanned before Windows can access it you haven't really solved the problem.

AVG used to be very good several years ago, now it's gone the way of lots of popular software - bloated. The real time file scanner thing is a joke, literally grinds a modern PC to a halt.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Police (and most people) assume that going above the speedlimit is dangerous, outright. This simply isn't the case. People who go 90mph on a perfectly open, fast flowing and visible A-road that they know well or doing 110mph down the Motorway at night is very safe.


Erm you're assuming Police are assuming. I imagine most policemen are normal human beings who are just doing their job.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :
What's not safe is going 50mph in 30mph limits which normally indicate a built up area with lots of pedestrians.

Very true, the people who do that deserve more than tickets or fines.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :
As they say, it's not the speed that kills you. It's the sudden stop that happens when you crash.

Yes but, the stopping forces are greater if you're traveling faster

You say it happens when you turn the computer on - my monitor gets MASSIVE ghosting until it's warmed up, but I don't know if that's what you mean. I also wouldn't expect it from a TN panel, assuming that's what you have.
