Vista.

It's pretty easy.. once you've done one. Heh. Dunno if there's a knack tho.. it just, goes into the RJ45.

My Macbook Pro has been sat on my desk ever since I bought a Dell D420. Dunno what to do... Heh. I've not used it for about a week now! :( Heh.

Ugh. emacs is pure evil.

There will always be differences in traffic they report. I use Webalizer for web traffic on here, though.. (although I take the actual network port utilisation for a true representation of traffic)

If it's connecting but not getting an IP, you might have the key wrong. It lets you connect, but then you never get access.

Is good yea. :) It's what's responsible for editting the ClioSport server config files. ;)

VIM?

OpenOffice.org

Only on bloated distro default installs :rasp: It certainly isn't installed on this server which runs Debian ;)

Need to create a presentation :rasp:

OpenOffice.org is a good free alternative.. :)

Ultramon for me too.

I've just bought a new Dell laptop to use in place of my Macbook Pro. No Wireless Sync of Calendars and Contacts broke me.. if it's not a replacement for Windows Mobile 5/6, then it's no use to me at all.. It's nice, but it's WAY too consumer based. Like, why the hell do I want YouTube on my...

Just because a £240 PC works for you, doesn't mean it works for everyone else.. Heh.

Damn! Thought we might have gotten some peace!

The difference in noise is nothing really.. and the battery life usage between the 5400rpm and 7200rpm is like a few minutes (well, it was when I looked at the options on the Mac) In terms of performance, it's worth it for me.. I don't think I'd notice it much :)

Bit too small for me. I'm thinking about opening this one up and changing the HDD.. 4200RPM standard which is shocking. Got a 7200RPM in my MBP, and it makes a bit difference.. about £60/£70 for an 80GB 7200RPM I think? Not too bad..

Yea, I've used a lot of SZ's, nice laptops.. When I bought my Mac, it was between that and an SZ.. We sell a lot of Dell stuff at work, and it's certainly getting much better.. I never thought I'd be buying a Dell laptop after my MBP, anyway! :p

The D420 is very nice.. I never thought I'd like any other laptop as much compared to the Macbook Pro, as IMO, that's the best looking laptop ever.. but after using the Dell all weekend, it's superb :)...

Thought you wanted a laptop tho? Heh.

Pretty big laptop ;)

I've just got a Dell D420 (the small one). It's awesome.. and I'm coming from a Macbook Pro. ;) Small tho, so unless you want an ultraportable, then bigger Latitude etc.. :)

Sky get very upset and send some letters saying you've broke their terms and conditions.. You got Sky+/HD?

It's the middle letter I think? Mine is N, but there's R and S also I think? Dunno which is best, etc.. Heh. I'm useless :( :D

He shouldn't install the box. It's part of the contract to connect it to a phone line for 12 months :) If he does, and it gets working, Sky will then be sending you some letters.. (not sure if it dials up to activate in the first instance) Basically, you need a phone line connection for the box :)

I guess the only way is an inverter, but it'll blow up unless it's regulated. Get a smaller USB powered drive.. and save yourself the hassle :p

Hah. No.. it's just a good, well thought out, useful application :p

Yep, and if they're not, you can run them in Parallels Coherence mode ;) (www.parallels.com) Microsoft Visio for example is fantastic, so why bother looking for a substandard alternative instead of using Visio :)

It's main use is routing packets between a WAN and a LAN interface. How efficiently and robustly it does it, is the key thing. I use a Cisco ADSL modem at home (just for connecting to ADSL) with a seperate router/firewall behind, and it's SOLID. I never reboot it, I never access it, it just...
