Meko

i lent mine to somebody once.

Good job he didn't live just outside Little Lever then http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4863

and got sent down http://www.lep.co.uk/weirdnews/Knicker-nicking-mayor-jailed.6048363.jp

what a difference a few hours makes.. 42mb download now.

so.. it's not just the waiting lists for the NHS that are slow. Took 5 minutes to load the speedtest.net page and about the same to run the tests.

try unplugging EVERYTHING from the phone line apart from the router, and running the test again. Mine went down to about 65kbps download with a 2 day ping; since unplugging everything i'm up to 1429kbps download, 375kbps upload and an 82ms ping. It's not great but where i am it's delivered with two tin cans and a piece of string.

they'd be labelled as proof that this country is run by dumb people. Forcing a racist party to disguise it's racism by filling it full of the people it preaches against can only go in the BNP's favour.. Racist?? we're not racist, just look at our member list, we're full of all races.

don't they already have a black member? i'm sure some black bloke joined them, or wanted to.

The players are like the fans... you'll never see them doing any overtime.

hand her a cold cup of coffee and tell her it was lovely and hot at half seven.

now the thing is... as it says colour = unknown; do i raise a complaint as i've got the ticket or wait till they post me a follow up and say it wasn't mine etc.

you think that might be enough to not have to pay it?

it had the black and yellow envelope so i'm guessing a council one. possibly, don't fancy the idea of forking out £50 though.

lol, you'd think so by the state of it. Hand brake is on its way out - sticks straight up in the air, headlight out, air bag light on, can open it using the drivers door but can't lock it and there's crap all over the place.... although that'll be the plod searching it. On the brightside he left me a full tank of petrol.

Anybody had any experience getting out of paying a parking ticket? Basically i lent my other car to a mate and when i got the car back last night i found a parking ticket on the passenger seat, he'd got it on the 2nd January. Now i can't get the money off him because he's currently banged up awaiting trial for armed robbery (his finger prints were on the carrier bag shoved at the shop keeper. Shop keeper says the person robbing the place wasn't wearing gloves and his prints aren't anywhere else in the shop / on the door handle etc but as the police have no other suspects they're trying to pin it on him). I can pretty much prove i wasn't driving the car but would the ticket still be enforceable?

it should yeah but an S-Video to RCA should have 3 cables, picture and 2 for audio so unless you're not bothered about sound it'd work. It could be the TV, video card could be set to too high a res / refresh rate.

everything is fine.. BIOS will be out of date but it's not broken so it's staying as it is. It's behaving perfectly now, it's just that something has blown and now it's stable, that's confusing me. The overheating is because the laptop is about 4 years old and could do with a complete refurb and re-image.

S-Video to RCA cable by the look of it.

doesn't sound like one but it's sticking a picture on the screen and then going off so it's passing a signal down it.

This has completely baffled me, i've working in IT for 18 years and never come across something as strange as this My laptop struggled with overheating for a while, if i tried to rip a DVD it'd turn off. I upgraded the memory and installed 'notebook hardware control' which checks the CPU usage and CPU and hard drive temperature. It's got a warning threshold at 85c and it'll regularly hit that and tell me it's getting a bit hot. Also took the laptop apart and gave it a good spraying with compressed air to clear any dust. It's been running fine since doing all that, apart from the heat warnings but today it shut itself off. battery / charge light just flashed weakly and it wouldn't turn back on for about 10 minutes. When it did come back on there was a burning smell as though something inside had fried. Went off and something was burning, so i'd written the laptop off as a lost cause; so i decided to see if it did still work. It's been running down a good 6 hours since it went off. I've got 7 IE tabs, MSN and Outlook open and Task Manager says i have 0 available memory (although NHC says i've 1.39 gig free).. so that's 6 hours running with the same amount open as when i'd get the warnings.. BUT, the CPU is running at 68c and has been doing for the last few hours. Any suggestions as to what could have blown inside it to actually stop it overheating? cos i've never come across anything like it.

you can, but it's great. I got this fish tank and this

S-video connector on laptops is 7 pin female, but you'll need to do the FN + F(key) to switch to an external monitor.

L reg but can't remember the rest, only just remembered i saw it. Came out of the Frog and Bucket around midnight(ish) as a silver / grey supra went past...
