  5. at my school there's enough security to deter you from trying, it's generally a lot less effort to just ask for permission.
  6. the logos are done by a single chinese guy arent they?
  7. http://www.google.co.uk/doodle12.html what do kangaroos have to do with christmas, and why are they knitting?
  8. i really like the logo at the top of this page. maybe go with the black/white/red underground hax0r evil darkness ownage?
  9. nah thats gayness. theres a bar on your design under the logo that says trust your technolust. add that bar, but put the forums, wiki links in it, and the search bar... like how they are currently. dont add the orange thing with nav descriptions, those things r obvious.
  10. wow psychoaliendog, i'm really scared now, i think we should all panic!
  11. sounds like soft metal, reckon you could sorta re-etch it?
  12. ok, so it's been found in oil spills... but did it cause the oil spills? doubt it. so maybe instead of banning it, we should make oil tankers that dont sink? IDC.
  13. I have a Sony VAIO B3VP, nice price, run's Eve Online fairly well, fine for programming and such too, nice battery life. Just from a quick search though, this looks tempting: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/117438
  14. a remote controlled car with a nail glued to the back for popping balloons, and some sort of wooden scoop on the front for pushing objects?
  15. about 4/5 months ago i was searching google video for pc building tips, somehow i ended up watching about 8 episodes of hak5 in a day *shrugs* pc still doesnt work.
  16. dunno about other places, but in the uk broadband needs to be CHEAPER and MORE RELIABLE. I feel like im paying over the odds just to have the connection speeds vaguely match the product description.
  17. porn is ok, and not having a gf is ok... but sometimes its good to just go and get laid.
  18. yep, great fun, but... dunno... i'd do it again, but it doesnt get u a job or money or anythin but chicks! ... chicks r good...
  19. agreed with vako, i think it's pretty easy to get into uni in the uk. but.... you take a loan.. over say 3 years... 10-14k... + 3 years sacrificed wages.... 40-65k... = £50-79k LOSS from university. i'm yet to see any gain.

  21. i have discovered that overclockers.co.uk do not approve negative product reviews, whereas ebuyer.com do! What do you guys think about this, seems like if you're gonna let people review you have to accept every valid review, dont you?

    Building rig

    i dont like the idea of 'with intention to upgrade later' coz in the end thats gonna cost u more. looks like ur spending too much on hdd. buy a good power supply to start with, or you'll have to upgrade everything that melts! and a p4HT should be just fine. this is better than the other builds.

    RAM Settings

    RAM Settings

    I'm wondering if anyone has an answer to my system instability problem. asus p5w dh deluxe geil 2x1gb 800mhz ddr2 4-4-4-12 core 2 duo 6300 OK, i've checked the manual, and it doesn't give a lot of information. However, previously the ram posted as pc2-5300. i went into BIOS and changed the details to 4-4-4-12 2.1V with a write recovery time of 4 which was default and there was no indication of what to set it to. these settings saw it post at pc2-6400 which is correct, however i got a bsod on driver loading. as there was no indication of what the write recovery time should be, i went to a few forums and checked people's settings, they generally seemed to be set to 3 instead of 4, so i made this change. i've now got into windows, and i'll run memtest again for the rest of the day. i dont know if this has solved the problem because it's intermittent, i'll just stress test a bit and see how it goes. OK, the efforts described in my previous message were unsuccessful, the machine rebooted during memtest. I've got hold of a copy of CPU-Z and it tells me some unexpected results as follows: MEMORY> DDR2 Dual 2048MB Frequency: 400.6mhz ?? should be 800? FSB:DRAM : 2:3 cas 4.0 ras to cas delay 4 ras precharge 4 cycle time 12 bank cycle time 20 ?? what's this? SPD> both the same DDR2 1024MB Correction: None Max Bandwidth: PC2-5300 (333mhz) ?? should be 6400? manufacturer: GeIL Part Number: CL5-5-5DDR2 ?? should be 4-4-4 ? epp: no manuf date: week 39 '06 timing table: (the last value is labelled as trc, dunno what that is) @200 mhz 3-3-3-9-12 @266 mhz 4-4-4-12-16 @333 mhz 5-5-5-15-20 what should i do?
