That's a shite picture, but I'm fucked if I'm getting out of bed now, I've just got in!

The datacard tariff was before they introduced their tariffs with fair usage policies - unless I switch then I get to keep my 'true' unlimited - confirmed by a T-Mobile sales manager. The unlimited data on my phone I fear may be 10GB fair usage though, although really, what is there to download...

What interface? That's poor.

Get a newer Nero... 6 is aaaancient.

Not particularly, and yes, NTFS is more secure as it can deal with file permissions. Reliability wise the two don't differ particularly, it's just the way data is stored on the disk so effectively has no 'reliability' that you'll ever worry about...

NTFS is more secure and can be quicker, if you're just using it for your laptop then I'd use that, however if you plan on plugging it into your headunit or 360 then you'll want to use a format it can understand...

It's possible that your burner doesn't support it...

A couple from my trip to Farnborough earlier this year - shot with a Canon Digital Ixus 75 as my A2 was being ghey.

O2 don't work properly at mine, and for £26 I get a HSUPA datacard and unlimited data (properly unlimited) with unlimited WiFi, and any phone off T-Mobile's shop, with anywhere up to 1800 texts or 900 minutes, and unlimited data on that as well... Maybe I'm just getting a rediculously good...

What, by taking 5 years off their spec sheets? ;) My main gripe with the iPhone is that to have it 'legitimately' you have to be with O2. And despite not being the cheapest anyway, the iPhone tariffs are more expensive yet again AND their customer support is awful. I won't go into details...

A) It's an Acer B) Foooook carrying 3.5kg around... He's right. Sod that. I'm fed up of my ATG and that comes in at just over 3kg!!!!!!!

That stopped a while back, IIRC around 2002 with the Optiplex GX270 series being the first where they would keep a 'standard' baseboard. Prior to then, even between 'identical' Optiplexes I will agree you had a 'choice' between a 3Com and an Intel NIC... Which did make them very difficult to...

The same people, no doubt, that struggle with more than one mouse button... As for the N96, I think as long as the Nokia/Symbian bugs aren't there, will be the final nail in the iPhone coffin.

I will argue that point, my SZ2's screen was 'pretty good' but my XPS's screen is in a different league altogether. TrueLife coating and 1920x1200 resolution, absolutely pixel perfect and a much more even backlight. I bought the T2XP because yes, it was the best specced ultraportable at the...

N95 8GB FTW - the iPhone is nothing in comparison technically. The N95 (if they've got it running stable, which apparently they have on the 8GB) is an astonishing bit of kit, and the N96 has a massive chair to fill.

Given that the Studio 15 is essentially an XPS M1530 in a Next suit instead of a Hugo Boss item, I don't see where they're coming from... http://www.trustedreviews.com/notebooks/review/2007/12/21/Dell-XPS-M1530/p1 Courtesy of TR - this is the opinion that is shared across masses and masses...

Really? Maybe I've had bad luck but I'm on my 5th Sony, all of them have needed new hard disk drives (and to top it off, the T2XP I've got requires an almost impossible to find £150 HDD), all of them have had bad driver problems (Ask anyone who bought a 'Vista Ready' SZ2, who had to wait A YEAR...

Sony laptops are shite and trust me, you'll get bored of hauling around a 17" laptop. Not least of which you'll end up visiting your doctor regularly for back pains.

If she's downloading songs look forward to getting a letter telling you they're pulling your plug. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a97631/virgin-to-identify-pirates-with-bpi.html

What the hell are you going to do with 20Mbit internet? Bearing in mind I run 10Mbit symmetric fibre and I can't download at 10Mbit cos most of the sites on the net use QoS to make sure people don't 'hog' download capacity!

Got around 400 BT Broadband lines across the country and very rarely have issues here - maybe just luck of the draw.

I don't mean to disappoint you or dick on your fireworks, but a Gateway laptop with an 80GB hard drive can only be s**t... Edit, scrap that it's not particularly clear. Any Gateway laptop can only be s**t.

Can I have a job? Bored of support TBH, I enjoy taking things apart (technically as much as physically!) too much. The day my XPS arrived the keyboard and top tray was off to see what there was!

Swap the filter - that's usually the first port of call with speed/stability issues. And it's not just a fob-off excuse either - like power cycling your computer, binning the old filter can resolve quite unusual problems. Oh, and post in the Broadband section next time ;)

Ghey. Windows Key + Tab FTW. Hell, if they've spent time making it pretty, I may as well use it :) And it's a bit easier than Alt+Tab to see what you're looking for when you've got a million windows open.

Really though, did you install it on a s**t computer? I've got it on all sorts of computers, rangng from an old-skool Pentium D, to an old Sony with the first of the Dual Cores, to my Quad-core desktop machine. None of them I'd say ran with any performance issues - in fact I'd say they were...

See there are some bits they've done that that I agree with you - however there are other bits that the extra 'layer' helps end users. Remembering that you're bordering on (or are) a power user - that's certainly how you strike me - so you'll know how to do most workstation-level work. Think...

Yup, and HP ProCurves, and Nortel BayStacks... Hell, every networking device. Was kinda silly of them to leave it out!

Yeah, that's moderately annoying. Used to like the CMDHere Powertoy for WinXP, but never knew that you could drag commands into Command Prompt. Think we're all still waiting on the Powertoys? I use DameWare NT Utilities, so never used that - although a long time back used to use BRCMD...
