    confused over DNS

    Some webhosts use the Host http header to re-direct you to a virtual host, so if you just try to connect to the IP address on its own it doeesn't know what to do with the trafffic so either drops it, or re-directs to a holder page or different site. For instance, if www.dogs.com and...

    182 cup steering knock.

    I've noticed this on mine as well. 182FF with cup packs, only usually in the car park at work when I'm on full lock, it almost feels as if one of the wheels is slightly dragging. I was gonna get the tracking checked out. My theory (which may be well off the mark) is that garages don't realise...

    DVD to DIVX?

    Try using a combination of DVD Decryptor and AutoGK.

    Copying from Sky plus

    IIRC the sky+ box has two scart outputs, one is specifically for connection to a recording device. There is an option in the playback menus somewhere to output through this scart socket without any menu's or anything, you can use this to output to the DVD recorder. this is from memory though...

    The guides have been converted to pdf's now and are available in the guides section. And very handy they are.

    I was bored, so I worked out the approximate distance that each would take to get to 62. using v = u + at v2 = u2 + 2as where: v = velocity (ms-1) = 27.71648 m/s (62mph) u = inital velocity (ms-1) = 0 m/s (0mph :rasp: ) s = displacement in a straight line (m) - This is what we need to work...

    Push Email?

    and be aware that the phone companies will charge the earth for roaming data connections. O2 charges £2.50 per meg for Western Europe (and £6 for the rest of the world) on business tarrifs.

    My wireless keeps dropping out

    Its sometimes to do with the adaptive speed of the connection. I've noticed it before with some cards, if the connection is at all iffy they hunt up and down the speeds. If it starts happening again, try forcing the card to stay at one connection speed (start at 10Mbit and work up) and then...

    The magic button

    When you press the button and the light comes on, that means ESP is off. I personally thought that when it flashes, thats when it's to much for the system and it gives up.

    portable hard drive

    How are you plugging it in? The windows version does not support firewire, so it has to be connected with USB

    Integral USB sticks. Tough little feckers.

    I have a Corsair Survivor. Slightly chunkier than your usual memory stick, but even tougher than the Voyager. It's waterproof to 200m, made of CNC milled alluminium, and theres a site that reviewed them that acutally boiled one on the stove for a couple of minutes then smacked it about with a...

    My wireless keeps dropping out

    Here's a question, does it just drop out, then if you refresh the network list you can reconnect, or can you not re-connect until you reboot?

    Watching HD on a MAC.. is it really HD?

    It is HD, it just happens that you run a higer res than HD is. 720p is only 1280×720 1080p is 1920×1080 So you monitor is more than likely higher than 1080p anyway. (which is why i always giggle a bit when people boast of how their console works in HD, when PC's have had HD games for years)

    Dual boot it. That's the simplest answer.

    Maximum Amount of ram in 32bit XP

    Doors? That's beyond a layer 8 network issue, that's more of a manufacturing defect :evil:

    Pfft, that's not flame bait, that's gentle ribbing. If it was flame bait then I would have said "well it's still......" Hmm, wait, you're not catching me out that way!

    I think I know what his issue is actually. It's a layer 8 network problem.

    Get a hardware firewall. You're security is only worth as much as you pay for it. :D

    Why does everyone hate Vista so much?

    Vista is a memory and processor hog. Thing is, XP was a memory and processor hog in comparrison to 2000. 2000 was a memory and processor hog in comparison to NT4. The latest version of an OS with all the bells and whistles is always going to run slower on the same machine as the previous...

    Maximum Amount of ram in 32bit XP

    Meh, it's close enough for the purposes of this discussion unless you want to start getting into PAE. Doesn't help that most people are running 32bit OS's on 64bit processors, but for the layman as such, the rule of thumb is 4GB limit for 32bit OS.

    Maximum Amount of ram in 32bit XP

    I would check your motherboard voltages out. I used to have random bluescreen problems with my machine, was using a matched pair of OCZ, and to get rid of them I had to increase my RAM voltage from the default 2.4 to 2.7. Though when I upgraded my PSU, the issue went away because it was...

    Firefox easter egg.

    IIRC, Excel 95 had a doom clone built into it, Excel98 had the flight sim thing, and Excel2000 has a racing game in it. edit: Yep, I was right. http://www.eeggs.com/tree/279.html

    Maximum Amount of ram in 32bit XP

    Spot on, 4gb is actually a limit of any 32bit operating system. It 2 to the power of 32 bytes of addressable memory. 64bit OS's have a theoretical limit of 16 exabytes, but generally tend to stick an artificial limit on it (I think 64 bit windows server is about 6 terrabytes or something...

    The Pentium 2

    Yeah, there was an issue with it's floating point operations. If you did the following: 4195835 * 3145727 / 3145727 = 4195835 You should get the number that you started with. But on a flawed one you got 4195835 * 3145727 / 3145727 = 4195579. The first PC we had at home, was actually a...

    182 false floor for sub - box volume

    Is the any advantage to doing it other than looks or cooling?

    182 false floor for sub - box volume

    Nice. I suppose I could go for a pair of 8 inch subs which have a much lower mounting depth. Then I get a flat floor. I'll have to take a look and see what is available. Looks good by the way

    182 false floor for sub - box volume

    It's all going to be hidden under the false floor. By my current calculations the sub box will only take up about the centre 1/3rd of it, so that gives me plenty of space on either side for hiding wiring and amps. Anyone know any halfway decent free CAD software?
