I thought RAID0 on SSDs was pretty much irrelevant? D.

I can understand the MOT being void, but the road-tax? Is that because a damaged car could have the potential to emit more CO2 than standard?? Sorry for the OP - completely innocent in all of this and now he's got a boat-load of crap to sort. :( I would have thought/hope that that shouldn't be...

Yep - no different - certainly with Win7 x64 being chucked on. I still haven't got around to sorting out an SSD for my PC yet! D.

Haha - sounds great! I think the G25 will be unpacked again this weekend for a dabble. :) D.

John - what cars do you get in the hill-climb in the Beta? D.

Really? Not tried that - I'll have to give it a go! D.

Think I'll have a dabble at this.... D.

Lol - probably as easy as calculating the mean of Life, the Universe and everything. ;) Not something I'd be envious of doing. D.

That's the thing - they haven't been removed, just moved. Granted, I accept that they have to make progress forward, but for the reasons I mentioned earlier in this thread, Microsoft have had to create a Windows 7.5 rather than a balls-out change to a genuine replacement O/S. I had a £1.6k...

Just using it on one of directors' new tablet/laptop hybrids that arrived this morning. For doing non-fluffy stuff, good God its a feckin PITA to use! You simply forget and don't take into account working in IT just how many shortcuts and things you do without thinking. Windows 8 stops you in...

Not got Rebellion yet - still using Trinity at the minute. Wish I'd bought Rebellion in the Steam winter sale.... :( D.

I have the non-Cup amphasite one on my front bumper. Had it for years - got it of Ady on here. :) D.

As GiT says - if your works runs and installs a legit and registered Microsoft Office program, you're entitled to a copy of Office as an employee for around £8.... http://www.microsofthup.com/hupuk/faq.aspx We've done it at work and it proves very popular for staff and their partners wanting...

Yey! You got rid of it! Hopefully you'll regain some Hero Points since you sold the FRP. ;) D.

There's one I see regularly near Guide roundabout. Could be the same one? D.

Yes! I sound like a broken record with this and am probably a bit too obsessive with it - lol. I had mine changed for the first time at 24k and it transformed using the gearbox from feeling like porridge with a spoon sticking out, into something that was much more direct and enjoyable to use. I...

Love mine. It gets the TLC it needs and has served me really well - including some epic journeys and trips out. The 182 simply ticks so many boxes, that I think it's a cracking little all-rounder. I also think that there's something quite special about the 2.0litre N/A engine. It's a dying...

Truly epic game from Relic, that. I play Sins of a Solar Empire by Ironclad, just as a close-ish homage to Homeworld. It was so ahead of its time and the music was brilliant. Surely there's enough demand to make Homeworld 3?? :) D.

Does sound like there's a problem if you have to continue holding down the CC switch? I use mine every day on the motorway without issue, so I'd say your's in broken? :( D.

Liking the gold! Suits the flamer really well, imo. I wouldn't bother changing the colour if they were mine. :) D.

In the lane heading down by the Travelodge this morning. About 7.20am. Sounded modded? D.

Shame. So long as Company of Heroes 2 still gets released this year.... D.

It has the 'potential' to be awesome - mopping up all of the failings that dogged the SP driven Skyrim. Handled correctly, distinct character types and abilities, true 'squad-based' RPG play and range of side-quests away from the core story - would make it perfect. Make it Skyrim-with-mates...

Get back in your open-source hole, you! :rasp: D.

Excellent find. 15 bids too?! D.

^^^ - very true and I agree. Qualifications will no doubt help you when/if you're looking at a similar role elsewhere. But experience has a BIG part to play - and that can't always be proven with your name on a flashy certificate. :) I think that's a key aspect of you being down there m8 - the...

True. As much as I prefer the previous incarnation, I don't think Microsoft had much of a choice in not going ahead with Windows 8 and it's touch-screen bias. Everything is heading that way. I think one aspect that is bugging Scone is the impact the likes of Win8 has on gaming. ANYTHING other...

Another issue with Windows 8 - it sends my Logitech G15 keyboard into disco-inferno mode! Accidently catch a key on the keyboard and the whole board lights up and flickers like a b**ch - even though the PC is physically switched off. That issue doesn't happen with Windows 7. Must be some...

Very true! But after 16 years in IT now - I'm getting a little tired (and bored, tbh) of solving an issue or a problem and having to read up on 6 other underlying issues to it, beforehand. IT (to those who have no knowledge) is a thankless task. Very few non-IT people will turn around and...

I'd recommend that you get a 'little' amount of focus early on - unless you've got a burning desire to head down a specific path already? The trouble is (and I've ended up falling down this path) is that you end up being aware and understanding one hundred+ things, but none of them in any real...
