£4.5k for 3bhp, bargain ;)

i did a 15.1 in my standard 182 at pod, was under 0 degrees so the strip was slippy and they had just got rid of all the rubber on the track so i think i did pretty well considering i weigh the same as two people too;)

HP Bladesystem;) Ok, I call quits then, fresh start!

pioneer have pulled out of the tv market. they may still have stock around but i'd prefer to go with a manufacturer who is still around. Samsung have been making some of the best lcd's for years. My M series is now about 4 years old and has never missed a beat, it is still perfect, can't...

oh and just to make it clear Mike, when I said you were an IT Manager that wasn't meant in a derogatory way, i know there are two kinds of It manager, some know it and some know feck all about it and only how to manage. I know you are a technical person, that goes without question. I guess i...

yeah, speakers in tv's are always poor as they are designed to be used with cinema surround systems. They only really include them as a must, having a 1080p picture and then built in speakers for sound is FAIL really, you really need a 5.1 system to get the full experience. Plus with TV's...

but in the world of blades, HP are well ahead of the rest. I admit, in storage, HP are not no.1, EMC are and netapp are about on par but as far as servers go, HP have the market lead, in both rack mount and Blade, simple. And why do you have to blow your top, its a discussion, you can't...

its not b****cks, they just last long enough not to worry the average consumer for the length of thime they are likely to keep them.

LOL, theres always going to be the people who long to cling onto the old technology, don't like change and all that ;)

LOL, OK, so there 'was' an issue (and i knew fully about this issue but i knew of no-one who was directly affected by it as HP replaced any power supplies in the batch within a day or 2 so very proactive) but this is not an issue now, and was such a small chance of anything happening before it...

i'm going for that exact setup, its going to be hard to beat.

one question, have you heard of nonstop servers? if you have then you will know that having nonstop blades going into the c-class chassis proves they have 100% faith in it not having a single point of failure. if you want to talk about single points of failure then your ibm midplane has tens...

this article always makes me laugh too, 2 years ago dell were very anti blades, now they love them;) http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/07/19/dell_hp_blade/

what an awesome canvas to play with, jealous!

theres a document i would love to share with you mate but i'm under NDA so i'm going to have to do a Lee on you;) The Dell is better than the IBM, i'll say that, the IBM technology is too old now. The issue I have with the dell is that when you put the first blade in the top left slot in the...

FLOL, really, and on what basis is that? The IBM is WAY behind the HP in nearly every way. Doesn't have as good a management, doesn't have as good a redundancy, doesn't have as many blade server options, doesn't have as many interconnect options. The HP is easily the best blade chassis at the...

oh i do apologise for not knowing every new feature not even out on the market yet;) Its a windows 7 thing, thats the only os to take advantage of it and i've not done any windows 7 stuff, must admit, i only deal with servers......... doesn't change your original question and my answer though;)

not heard of a trim function personally. p.s. managed to get all the data back, f**king result!

yeah a 2012fc, i hate them, had another customer ring me sunday to say both controllers had failed......... MSA1000 was such a good product, i really wish hp hadn't rushed and bought the product from dothill, it really is flakey.

talking of disks though, i have had the worse possible day today with an install for a customer. Had an MSA2000 which I was upgrading by added a second controller and a second disk shelf. Downed it all, added the hardware and then turned it back on and 3 disks came up failed in the existing...

you've killed an sd card from use, really, i don't think thats possible really without it being used in a server and being constantly bashed, even then they have a life of tens of years. you sure it didn't just corrupt and then die, as in anything can fail, doesn't mean the same card couldn't...

Yes it has changed, the ones they put in servers have anyway, they employ a technology to write to a different sector ever time, even if its the same piece of info it will go to a different location so as to get around this problem. But they are still best used for pure reads and disk for...

ssd's are fast at reading but for writing i think the raided hdd's might still have it

what do you need the cdrom for? surely you just take the memory card out and put it in your computer, i've never even opened the shrinkwrap around mine.

Re: Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition says the item is deleted

Re: Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition got an email from shopto, normal one is £42.99 and hardened (which i presume is steelbook) is £64.99

what i like about the 70-200 is the lack of it extending, staying one length is a plus i think. I've always fancied something longer but i just don't want image quality to suffer because of it with the 70-200L being such an amazing lens. I actually rarely find i need anything past 200, but...

what so the oem version can have IE as default but the boxed product can't? that sounds strange.

so you've actually got the boxes in with software, thought it was months until it was released?

this is the bit I find funny: so if you buy a computer, you have to have another computer to downlaod a web browser to then put on it, what a joke, stupid ruling, they should at least make them put installers for all the main browsers on the desktop to allow people to choose. i'm sure osx...
