    CounterStrike Source - only £3.50 this weekend via Steam

    As title thread, really. Worth it if you want something cheap and classic! D.

    Who is T26 NKS?

    Just passed it now on the M66 and it came off at junction 2, Bury. I would have let on except I was in a Passat. Random acknowledgements by VAG drivers - FTL! ;) Both reg and car seem really familiar? D.

    CS system builders - I welcome your advice!

    Right chaps. I've been requested to help in putting together a PC for my nephew - the good news being the budget at £1.5k It's 99% used for gaming - so the GPU, CPU and memory are all important - along with the mobo of course. The budget is to include a new monitor (he's currently got a 4:3...

    n00b Wii question

    Do they have HDMI output on them, or is it purely composite? Cheers, D.

    I was an old V-Dub thingy passenger today...

    Great thing it was too! One of the guys at work bought it a few months back and I got a lift to Asda at dinner. As the boot says, it's an automatic and not too clunky, suprisingly. Felt a little weird sat on the right side as a passenger on our roads (I think its the first time I've...

    Clever kit, but.....

    ...surely the answer to many a thief's dreams? 16-for-1....... and it has wheels! ;) http://store.apple.com/uk/product/T3477B/A?aosid=p204&cid=AOS-EMEA-SHOP-GoogleBase-UK D.

    [PC] Gyromancer by Square Enix

    Downloaded this today..... Very Final Fantasy'ish in presentation. It's a typical puzzle-battle type of game, based on the mechanics of Bejeweled Twist... As expected, there is some really weird dialogue going on. Must be lost-in-trasnslation where the...

    Logitech G15 v2 keyboard

    ...turned up this morning. :D (crappy iPhone pic) It doesn't 'feel' as solid at the v1 keyboard - and that had a great rubberized coating on it. The display panel doesn't move either, whereas the original one you could adjust - a bit of a pain as the light from the Velux window just...

    Quick bevvy meet this Thursday night - Bury mob?

    Right. Not full blown meet or anything this - just a gathering of us lot from Bury and the surrounding area. It seems we are rivalling Warrington for the RS-per-head ratio now! ;) As such - I was thinking of a night after work next week - maybe just for a quick drink and chat - put names to...

    Will water in the exhaust evaporate over time?

    I slowed down this morning for a large pool of standing water - in order for the engine not to suck any in. But it seems some has got into the exhaust now and there's a definite sloshing noise on braking. I've left it on a slope in the car park, with the car tilting backwards. But will this...

    Fallout MMOG on the way?

    Might be the first MMOG that I'll try! http://www.joystiq.com/photos/project-v13-fallout-mmo-from-interplay-rumored-screenshots/2452635/ D.

    n00b SQL Server 2008 question!

    How do you view the next 200 records within SQL Server Management Studio? It seems MSoft has limited it to that in order to stop the firehose mode of earlier editions - which is fair enough. But I'm a SQL novice and a little bit stuck - lol! :o D.

    Champ Man. 2010 on iPhone

    Just how good is it? :) Probably the best £2.99 I've spent in a LONG time. Even though I know jack about football, it's still really enjoyable. Being a cnut in the press conferences - FTW! :) D.

    CPU Virtualization overhead when not being used?

    I haven't looked into this much, if at all really. But when Virtualization is enabled within BIOS, does that place a performance overhead on the CPU itself? Just enabled it on a PC here running Windows 7 Pro for the XP Compat mode. I 'think' my PC at home has Virtualization turned on, though I...

    XBox Live points issue?

    I installed Windows 7 this weekend and put Fallout 3 back on. I then logged onto the XBox Live portal to download the DLCs. Both The Pitt and Broken Steel were there for me to download, but Operation Anchorage was being charged at 800 points. I've already bought and completed that one though...

    Loosing/deleting saved games?

    Feck. I thought I'd got them all backed up. But installing Windows 7 afresh has clearly shown that I haven't. :( Most are just a couple of hours I've lost (thank FCUK the Fallout 3 one is still there!) - but it looks like it will be back to the grindstone for some of them. Bollox. :( Anyone...

    No inbuilt email client in Windows 7?

    Seems a little strange as to why MSoft has pulled the plug on Outlook Express? I know there are better email clients out there, but OE was a small, quite useful and inbuilt email client. Oh well, looks like Thunderbird will be getting another try. ;) D.

    What's the deal with the iPhone 3GS screen res?

    Are the screen stats of 320x480 purely for video? I've tried to customise my wallpaper to that size and it's always bigger than the screen itself? I took a photo with the iPhone camera, uploaded it to the PC and found that the captured size was 165x220. This is probably what the camera takes as...

    Stage 2 towards the Dark Side is complete....

    After picking up the iPhone yesterday, I now have two Apple devices, along with the iPod Nano. I swiftly binned the Apple stickers that came in the box and used oven-gloves to do so - I'm not one for singed hands. ;) Anyways, nearly a full 24-hours into ownership, I'm slowly coming around to...

    Weird network & file opening issue?

    The answer's probably looking right at me, but I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment! :) Here's the scenario:- Head Office (HO) and depot across the road are connected via 1Gbps fibre HO is the location of the NAS box with shared folders on it Depot is where Lenovo laptop is...

    '08 silver Pie-Eater - M66 this morning

    Anyone? Went past me at the Bury junction with a bit of pace. ;) Caught up, but with two cars in front all the way to Haslingden neither of us could go quicker. D.

    What other bushes are worth replacing?

    Thinking of getting the 8-piece poly bush kit from K-Tec when my car goes in for its 72k service. Are there any other bushes or joints I should look at replacing while these are being done? Track-rod ends, etc? I would like to get the handling virginally new again. ;) Cheers, D.

    [PC] GT Legends cars on Race '07

    I so love the modders of the PC community at times! :approve: One of the German fans with the assistance of other GTL & Race'07 players has managed to combine the best of both - taking the cars from the earlier game and transplanting them for us to drive in Race'07. Naturally this makes the...

    Who needs Forza3 or MW2 when you can get this?

    Consoles are for pussies. Real players go for this shizzle.... http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/10851816/Farming-Simulator-2009/Product.html Seriously. WTF? :S :clown: D.
