If a Powerbook that's been sat on a shelf for months, decides to simply display an Apple logo in the middle of the screen - does that mean its funcked? It does the start-up 'DONG' noise and then a few seconds later, just puts up the Apple logo. No spinning progress icon or anything. Are there...

Just a discussion header, really. Do you think consoles would ever go full circle and revert back to the cartridge days of old? Removing the cost of cartridge manufacturing out of the equation, I think there would be several benefits.... Fewer moving parts - possible decrease in size of the...

Gave you a bib at the Junction 2 roundabout (Heap Bridge). The exhaust not only sounded good, but it really did look the part. Looked v.shiny too - just had it fitted? :cool: Hopefully you're on here so you tell me which exhaust it was! :) D.

Sounded great and looked strangely familiar?! ;) Liking the sounds of the plans for the Cuppa, Chris. I'll keep my lips sealed!!! :cool: D.

....around 12.30 this afternoon. Spotted the rapid tomato on the other side of the motorway. :) It was heading eastbound. D.

Did they purposely go out of their way to make Linux as weird and as unfriendly to use as possible? Did they have a global meeting and discuss "1,052 ways to infuriate someone who is used to the Windows environment"? I can't believe the most basic operations and uses either just draw a...

I know how to switch on my digibox...... pick a channel and that's about it. What I want to know is whether or not a standard digibox (not Sky+ or HD or anything) is the same - regardless of who the manufacturer is? Our Thomson unit is going ape and regularly says "No satellite signal is being...

.... just before 10am this morning. Had after-market alloys on, but aside from that, it appeared pretty much standard. ...heading Leeds direction. D.

Went off the slip-road about a hundred yards in front of us - as we carried on the M62. Think it was a '55 plate, iirc. About 12.30 this afternoon. D.

Fancied a quick drive out (despite the crap weather) - so with a quick round up of the usual suspects, we met up at Lymm services. Then headed out to Jodrell Bank Jainy passing the ever important chocolate through.... ;) Clearly the dish was being used to collect water today...

Spotted three of them today while I've been at the Leeds depot. Two at the White Rose shopping centre and another on the M62. Didn't spot any stickers on any of them, though. Anyone? D.

Hi chaps, Has anyone got a contact number for Sky to speak to them about our dodgy Sky box? It's a standard one - not Sky Plus or HD or anything. Just one minute it receives certain channels, then the next minute it says "No satellite signal is being received" No. 28 appears on-screen too...

...... spotted it on the other side of the road whilst on my way to do some stalking at Asda. Gave you a flash, but I don't think you saw me? D.

Saw you come off the M66 slip road tonight and take a right up past the Seven Stars pub. I was about ten cars or so behind. Anyone? Just before 6pm tonight.... D.

Seen it quite a few times around that area - with the plate that starts T21. Anyone off here? D.

Top road this afternoon - between Bury and Rochdale. Gave her a flash and a wave and got sod all back. The Ph.1 looked mint. Just a shame the driver had no manners. :clown: D.

.... in the car park, next to Matalan. Two spaces up from me was a '51 reg dark blue 172 and directly facing it, was a '53 plate 172 Cup. Anyone off here? :) D.

..... forgot about this. :clown: Had to nip to Tesco to get some emergency kecks - the fecker on the door wouldn't let me in the work's do on Saturday night as I was wearing jeans - lol! Anyways, mad dash into Tesco's and on my return was a 197 parked right alongside me. Plenty of parking...

Had three of us looking at it - scratching our heads. No CS stickers on it, but I'm sure I've seen it before. Looked convincing - and looked well with the after-market zorst and the Renault Sport door badges. The definite giveaway was the drums on the rear - you almost had us fooled! :cool: D.

..... coming off the M60 and down past the Ford garage. I 'think' I accidently went through a red light following you...... (sorry officer!) :o You looked a bit lost - were you reading a map???! ;) D.

I'm not 100% sure of the requirements of an MOT, but surely to god, Reno Manchester would have mentioned something about the state of my front tyres? The inside tread literally doesn't exist and the rubber itself is straight down to the indicator marks... It has two weeks since the first...

Ok, here goes:- 182 goes into garage for 2 days Get a 1.2 Mk3 Clio as a courtesy car Need to contact my insurance to put the Mk3 Clio reg on my policy for two days. Need to pay an additional £25? Why? I've paid the insurance on my 182 and clearly the 1.2 is a less risk car. Why couldn't it...

Just speaking to Ste on the phone when one went past. He was sure it was petrol blue - not the arctic blue and definitely not racing blue. Spotted near the Nissan garage (Westway Nissan?) approx 20mins ago. D.

;) D.

Great weather for it today - but bloody freezing! Still, no doubt that helped maximise the benefit to the turbo'd engines :) Good mix of cars on track today - in particular one of the RC Evo's and a great sounding Scooby Clinic Impreza. RC Car...

Does anyone have one fitted? I was looking at the 6400+ Edition - not bad for the price. Though I'm wondering if the clock increase to 3.2Ghz is enough to warrant the upgrade from my current 2.64Ghz? Then again, if the Black Edition could easily handle 10% stock increase - that would be 3.52Ghz...

I try hard....... like really hard not to delve into the pointless ramblings of manufacturer FAQs on websites. They are usually full of the most pointless and irrelevant questions, that it makes you wonder what amoeba thought them up in the first place. I'm therefore, pleased to announce that...

Calling all PC techies - any idea what could be causing the blackness in the pic attached? On some levels of COD4 it looked really bad - like I was playing in monochrome. :( Neither my other two current games of Crysis or Gears of War suffer from it. Neither did the COD4 demo, strangely...

I'm really new to any of this, but have borrowed a Canon MV630i analogue camcorder and want to offload the video to my PC. I've connected a 4 to 6 pin Firewire-400 cable to it and tried allsorts of options on the camera - but the PC just doesn't pickup on the feed coming to it. I've tried the...
