    197 itb kit

    To be honest, I thought the car would be running on some aftermarket internals. The fact it isn't makes a big difference to my expectations, however you'll notice a '?' on the end of my sentence. So can we assume a car 100% stock to have the ITB's fitted and be 25bhp up, even without any...

    WATER IN MY CAR!

    Also check the tray under your windowscreen isn't caked up with leaves and preventing it draining.

    Anyone got a Blackberry Pearl ?

    Pieces of cheap taiwanese crap to be honest. My work one was falling apart after 6 months, if you really need a Blackberry (which you don't) I'd go for a Bold or failing that a Curve. Why anybody would even consider one as a non-business requirement I've no idea.

    Blu-ray starting to gain serious momentum with Dark Knight! (p.s. i'm not Batman)

    Watched it at IMAX when it came out, was like £14 or something but it was awesome. For anybody that's not been, the screen is 5 double-decker buses high! Few months ago a BD would cost you £20, now thanks to the crunch, if you shop around you can get them for little more than a DVD.

    Slightly disappointed with the quoted power increase, is it quite a job wringing more power from the block?

    my clio rs dream is over.... its dead

    So she hit your car on what appears to be a straight, borderline 3 lane road? Definitely a write off I'd say...probably bent the subframe/mounts. Is your engine still sitting straight or it shifted? Fked your rad?

    Failure to produce photographic evidence within 15 minutes results in a permanent ban! (Straighten your wheels next time you park and you'll not suffer a bent axel/cv)

    windows 7

    Suggesting they're one and the same is wrong. Vista uses the 2008 kernel but only since SP1. They're still very different OS,

    windows 7

    Vista works OK, I use Vista x64 on one of my work machines for the 2008 management tools, and it's fine. Just needs some configuring to get it how you want it.

    windows 7

    MS said last year they we ditching Vista in 2010, and by that they mean entirely with exception to security fixes. With SP2 now released on Beta it looks as it the last SP for Vista could be SP2. Windows 7 is scheduled afaik for Q3 2009, it's got lots of benefits over Vista including some good...

    It's certainly not a final build, beta and early builds are easy enough to acquire.

    "It's french..."

    The problem isn't necessarily the cars, it's the useless franchised dealer network and shoddy warranty that's the issue. With Audi/Toyota, you know that if someone does go bang it'll be replaced and you'll drive away in a comfy courtesy car, full of hot Tea and biscuits. With Renault you end up...

    Michael you know grouping can be disabled right? It's nothing new. W7 looks quite good actually, certainly better than their woeful efforts on Vista. Hopefully it's something worth rolling out in a business enviroment. Good they've made it customisable for use on netbooks etc.

    BBC iPlayer update for Omina, C905 and X1

    Hope they eventually release a compressed service over 3G. I'm guessing from an iphone POV that O2 would be very fearful of bandwidth implications. Probably need the app rewriting to as currently it just delivers to an IP. Oh and BBC radio .mp3 streams please!

    Yeah, don't shoot the messenger. Heard good things about them though, and at that price it's not a huge loss.

    Headphone Thread #101

    Bass is the easiest frequency set to get from any phones though, just use a bass boost EQ on your source. Or better still use a headphone amp like the (£5) Fiio E3 which will change the dynamic of any phones you attach it to - much improved for those who think that brands like Shure lack bass...

    Headphone Thread #101

    ^ If your benchmark for good phones is "superb bass" then that explains why you think some £15 POS buds sound better than B&O. If you want good bass (read:muddy sound) then just buy some £15 Sony. If you want good phones (with midrange/treble) then spend more. All subjective, but personally I...

    Headphone Thread #101

    I'd personally go for the Goldrings, google them with 'review' added. Should give you a fair idea of what to expect. Good phones by all accounts, especially for that money!

    Currently on offer at Play, I'd pick these (Goldring GX200) with your budget: http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/-/271/351/-/3440287/Goldring-GX200-Hi-Fi-Stereo-Earphones/Product.html?searchtype=genre Failing that V-Moda Vibes or CX300.

    Headphones

    Depends on your budget. For circa £50, there's V-Moda Vibes, or Shure SE-110. I personally use Shure SE-210 (£100~), the new foams are such an improvement on the old EXC range. Much prefer them to my old E3C, the fitment in my ears allows for much better bass reproduction. If you're getting...

    Anybody here use this on their network? Looking at some candidates for email archiving project I'm kicking off in Q1 2009. Got a quote, and as it's software based it's much cheaper than other hardware solutions I was looking at like Barracuda. Anyway, anybody with experience of...
