  1. I like the idea of sticking it in a tank with bigger fish, or the 'tough love' isolation method.
  2. When both front wheels fall off you rely on the back up system.....steering with will power!
  3. You'll probably have the police calling around about mugging some old man at a petrol station ....this is Great Britain after all.
  4. Jamie, you could email Tim Lewis at http://www.pugsleyandlewis.co.uk. He's an Aston specialist who may know of any possible leads on db9's with blown engines. I've done some body panels for him in the past for an Alfa Sud sprint he races (a beast of a car!).
  5. Yeah I think its a 3 series. Its a shame he didnt time the air-horn with the jump, you can hear the horn come on after he has landed and bits have fallen off the car lol.
  6. * makes mental note to look out for threads featuring 'crash', 'diesel', 'ice' and 'roundabout' in the near future * Driver is a muppet and tars us all with the "wanker" brush. This is a great example of why I have no interest in attending meets like these.
  7. I thought space savers should only be used in emergencies and not for great distances? yahoo maps says kent -> bath is a good 160+ miles.
  8. I'd also add FSecure Internet Security 2010 to that list, it doesnt strangle your machines performance like others (ie: norton).
  9. Well, from the sounds of it Norton didnt do a good job if you found 19 items with MalwareBytes - unless those 19 items where only cookies, but cookies wouldnt cause the issues you initially had. So in answer to your question, if you install a Zone-Alarm product, disable the norton one (better yet uninstall the norton one completely). Im assuming your getting a Zone Alarm product that has both a firewall and anti-virus?
  10. You dont want to have more than one Anti-Virus/Firewall package running on your computer at once, they may fight each other lol. If you install a 3rd party solution (recommended!) then make sure you disable any microsoft based solutions that come with the Operating System. The OS may disable its own services once it realises you are installing a 3rd party solution (like XP disables the windows firewall for example).
  11. Can you boot up into SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING? If so, try running windows update and if IE opens up - use that to access the link to malwarebytes. Failing that, go to a neighbours house with a USB pen drive and get them to download it and then you can install it on your PC - note that some trojans will try to prevent Malwarebytes from loading up either by looking for the default installation directory (c:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware) or by the EXE name (mbam.exe). So, when installing, install it into a custom directory, for example: c:\program files\batman If mbam.exe wont load up - rename it to something else such as batman.exe and try running it.
  12. Download and install Malware Bytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php The legit csrss.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. Win32.sys is the kernel-mode portion. Csrss stands for Client/Server Run-Time Subsystem, and is an essential subsystem that must be running at all times. Csrss is responsible for console windows, creating and/or deleting threads, and implementing some portions of the 16-bit virtual MS-DOS environment. In other cases, csrss.exe (outside legit location) is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm! The legit winlogon.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. Winlogon is a part of the Windows Login subsystem, and is necessary for user authorization and Windows activation checks. In other cases, winlogon.exe (outside of legit location) is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm!
  13. A Lag Switch is a physical device to create lag on a connection (though usually it gives the player an advantage), there are software alternatives available that can cap dataflow on a specific PC
  14. So tacky that if you fit them to your car they'd be covered in flies within a day Keep the ones you have or go stock IMO, but everyones taste varies...as long as you're happy with it at the end of the day.
  15. MythBusters (Episode 2, 2003 season) proved the theory that mobiles can cause fires to be a crock of poop. :: If mobile phones are such a threat, why do lots of petrol stations have mobile/radio masts hidden in their price signs???
  16. There are 2 versions of the Super Drager as far as Im aware. The MKI which is a mild steel 3" exhaust with a stainless steel backbox, the MKII is a full stainless steel 3" exhaust, or so I've been led to believe. Stainless exhausts are louder than mild steel, and titanium ones are louder still.
  17. An encryption algorithm I wrote was used by the University of Virginia Systems and Information Engineering Department who where commissioned by the National Institute of Justice to improve the security on a data analysis system called GRASP (A Geospatial Repository for Analysis and Safety Planning). GRASP was put in place to help the police and agencies including CIA, FBI and the Secret Service to predict crime patterns based on data shared across all departments. Its inception was prompted by the slow sharing of data between agencies during the infamous 'beltway sniper attacks' in the US where those 2 nutters where going around sniping people from a car. I'm not sure why they chose my encryption algorithm , it does work, but there are more secure algorithms out there. Anyway, thats my claim to nerdy fame (I've also met Kimi Matsuzaki from Ubisoft - yum yum), I'll get my nerdy coat and leave you to you're more interesting claims to fame...
  18. If it was a warped brake disc I'd have thought you would have felt the vibration through the brake pedal also.

    Bear in mind that a lot of the composites made in China are not 100% CF, they are a mix of CF and GF. Whilst the top layer you see is CF, the inner frame will probably be GF laid up in a black gelcoat. You may even notice a layer of GF under the CF to give the bonnet some thickness. This isnt really a problem unless you're doing high speed runs where GF *could* crack under stress if it is thin enough where it is fixed to the car (be it via pins or oem fittings)....as opposed to a full 100% CF product.
  20. At the moment yes since the skies are gloomy, however whether I can read the screen fine on a bright sunny day is yet to be confirmed There are tinted/anti-glare screen protectors you can get though.
  21. I've just got a Google Nexus One, very nice phone, surprisingly fast and nice GUI, I'd say its on par with the 3GS iPhones my mates have, there's less apps, but all the apps I need are there. You can swap out the battery if it becomes dud, and the same goes for the micro-sd card (comes with 4gb, supports up to 32gb...when they mass market them...a 16gb sandisk micro-sd is retailing around £60.).
