What's really funny is that the last 18 months have seen them turn into a bargain basement ISP, they've lost a large amount of tech-savvy niche users and positioned themselves to suck up bargain hunters. Unfortuantely CPW & Sky have just walked straight in and they have no chance of competing...

Depends how much you're willing to spend and what you've already got and what you want to use them for. £500+ for a nice 192Khz soundcard. £150+ for a decent mic. £200+ for a decent pre-amp. It's an expensive business! I know there's a a website which has a whole load of different mics which...

That's not a normal Mac experience mate, there's something very sick with your computer. You are getting kernel panics and that's definately not normal, I would hazard a bet that a fresh install (and migrate) and all updates applied would see your life improve by a massive factor, but as you...

Did you use the same IEC cable when you switched power supplies? Maybe the fuse has gone in that.

Me neither and I've used it since cheetah! (and everything was really stripey!). Infact I can't ever remember seeing either crash. If somebody is seeing that many crashes I'd suspect that the best thing would be to install and migrate.

I'm chilled mate. Just trying to help the confused.

Might want to use quote tags mate. Sorry to have to explain the difference between the kernel crashes and the application crashes but your post from last night made it blatantly obvious that you don't know the difference, if you nearly nodded off it's your own fault. Yeah, and I've used macs...

Hurrah! Somebody that understands that the OS is not the same as the application! Have a :star: :)

Erm. I'm a software engineer mate. What you have described are application exceptions caused only by the vendors software, not by the OS. A memory exception in the kernel would cause a panic and that would be terminal for the operating system a memory exception in the application would...

Ahh...A use for my PC. Thanks, appreciated.

Who said that? They're application crashes, that's nothing to do with Apple. What's good with Apple is that the OS is capable of sending the information to the vendor who are the only people who can fix the problem. Under windows it's not possible to do this with the in-built crash reporting...

I hardly ever see anything crash, certainly no more than I see under windows. I've never seen OS X crash apart from when I was writing a kernel mode device driver. Microsoft decided in infinite wisdom that they'd be the one to receive application crash reports rather than the software...

Couldn't agree more ;) Get yourself a mac, don't look back. :) I use PC's all day long and it's so nice to come home and use a computer which doesn't frustrate the hell out of me! If you're wanting HD media playback then get a dual core mac mini.

accrington stanley, who are they?

Macs rule, but I'm sure a PC bigot will be along shortly..... Just got my bluetooth mighty mouse today, well, there should have been two in the box and there was only one, so apple are getting back to me tomorrow. Very pleased with it. :)

You start getting throttled after 10GB. It's probably a good job you've not had any problems, because you really wouldn't have wanted to try to speak to customer services, people get stuck in the telephone queue for hours on end. When I moved away from plusnet and my speeds jumped back up to...

Slight quality issues with the build though, have a habit of falling apart. The new QC3's look crap in comparison to the QC2's though. The headphones in Qantas business class are noise cancelling ones too :) So good on a long flight!

and this just appeared on adslguide from the marketing director which spells out how poor they have been.....

Out of interest, do you have sky and are in a LLU area? If so might be worth considering sky broadband when they roll it out.

I seriously wouldn't use them for home phone, they can't even keep their email servers running, let alone a phone service! Last week one of their senior technicians accidentally wiped the wrong server (i.e the live one) when doing an upgrade, of course the spin machine came into action and as...

why? :S

The TomTom SDK is crap & pointless. If you want to implement this, use use the NMEA stream coming from the GPS unit, if you know how to program it shouldn't take you more than a couple of hours to knock something up that "works".

Nope, need recompilation and re-signing.

How many more pages can we get this thread too? It's pretty impressive for a phone! :)

As least dave will be easy to spot at meets, he'll be the one carrying the keyboard! ;) :p

I dropped mine on the conservatory floor this morning, survived without issue :)

I am Adrian, but I hardly see how this is relevent to your friend being wrong? :S

Maybe you should suggest he consults the internet before making marketing decisions, because he clearly doesn't know everything about technology!!!! :rasp: ;)

Yes it would because on a 0-60 run it could result in an error of 2 seconds. While pootling along the GPS speedo will be more than accurate because you're looking at a snapshot of time. If you're talking of a 6 second run, that's a possible maximum 33% error! All commercial grade GPS...

On any given run your timing error could be up to 2 seconds long, not including the errors in the commercial grade gps unit that you own.
