    very nice vid, i love those rims proper bright
  4. sorry i should proof read more lol, the if for if it breaks is a bloody big if they have had installed for 2years now and the only bit that broke was for ailurus (an app to ease set-up and get apps) but this was cured by an update provided a hour later by the update manager you have cleary not read my previous post of advise XP, WIN7 or MAC before LINUX, i offered these vs a suggestion, like people would advised many many different cars if you were looking for a new one it's better to know the options available, i do not think it is "cool" to not use windows i use a system that i can make more suitable to my needs, yes "i will never grow out of it" but that is because i have never seen my pc's an laptop run so fast etc etc wouldn't you rather be given all the options than be pigeon-holed to one area i am no longer goin to be comenting on this thread as you people seem far to narrow minded, i thought the idea's of forums was to share info not slate it because "you know better"
  5. the "free" bit doesn't totally mean free its for freedom, i.e. the freedom to midify it to suit ones needs, the trouble is as said before people are either afraid to try new things because of the spoonfed approach of microsoft i.e. buy a pc with windows pre-installed then you get media player an msn thown in your face but some people may want to use vlc or digsby. i have never had a bug or prob runnin something my base system runs at about 10% of my ram where as win7s base system needs 1gb of ram no base system should use that much it's stupid, like runnin a car constantly at 8000rpm (its revving it's tits off before you start vid conversions etc) my system is set up to be attractive and full of funky lil effects thanks to compiz etc, i shall post a screencast on youtube after work of my system with its video wallpaper, true rgb transparency an similar things. it takes me a full half hour to get every app, game, codecs and the set up the funkiness then i take a copy with remastersys to save me starting all over again, photoshop and microsoft office work quite well on linux all you have to do is add wine and the font packages, there are loads of easy to follow howto's on sites like ubuntu-geek and the linux forms are very helpful one question i do have s why is it that you buy a linux mag to read new scripts an c++ stuff or new features that are comin out or that are out now, then buy any windows mag to read how to fix things, microsoft boast about their new features which have been used by us for over 6 years like snapping windows (compiz), same with internet explorers 8second ads firefox did that stuff when it was on version 2 or something. an saying that someone couldn't get on with firefox is a bit silly (not bein offensive) as they are practically the same just that some of the items in the menu are in a slightly different place.
  6. it's perfect for the everyday user, my dad is a complete tech retard (he's still learning how the internet works lol) i installed it for the piece of mind he was forever getting viruses and messing up other programs etc, nod32 was no match for him, now he happily uses the pc in a some what productive manner, and fixing it is easy i just take an copy of the entire system and replace whats broke the only prob with linux is mainstream game releases and the lack of macromedia shockwave, compatibility can be a bitch the only bit of hardware i found not to be in the latest hardware pack(kernel) is the rtl8192e i use a fujitsu li3710 an everythings covered right out of the box ubuntu has this sort of stuff pre-packed or an easy to use program catalogue called the software centre , ubuntu 10.04 is amazing and it good to have a live cd at hand should you need to repair, partition an alike
  7. take a browse through the for sales on here i'm sure you'll find a sweet lil' rig
  8. All I did was suggest another OS as vista 32bit is buggy as hell, my suggestions covered pretty much all the popular, better and more reliable OS's available. So why was there the need to rip?
  9. thanks my desktop is interesting again
  10. my original post also suggested xp, win7 an mac os, an linux ain't tedious i hate terminal an the old ball aches
  11. no need for the attitude i was merely mentioning some os to try.
  12. hmm my apologies, won't the flex will only delay wear? also leaving the master cylinder plunger thing exposed to crud an knacker it that way? if this has been tried an tested by anyone let me know how it goes, are there similar mods that could be done to pre '05 magura levers?

    Parking Charges

    no prob, but i wouldn't bin them keep them as a record, as if it goes further you have a backlist of threats etc
  14. wow you'll save the same weight as having your hair cut or not using gloves whilst riding
  15. simple fix to this, f**k vista off it sucks ass, microsoft themselves said it should never have been released as a 32bit os, win7 or xp are far better (even though i hate money grabbing microsoft lol), you could also try linux like ubuntu or download mac os as they now cover installs for intel chipsets there are way to many reason for runtime32 to break microsoft: a world without walls, er ok then where would you put windows... dumbasses! <snip>

    Parking Charges

    Sounds well dodgy parking scams are everywhere, luckily you weren't clamped. Any company of that nature should really have T&C's in small print covering themselves for law suits etc etc.
  19. yay, my validation vote was the the last one needed lol, that was a very nice intro, you'll get loads of help of here, i did on for my onza project
  20. as the lad said take wheel to the shop theres prob 1 fixed as for front disc most will advise you to go for hope trials or avid bb5/7 i have seen some bike with spring loaded bolts (the two used to mount to frame or forks) which is supposed to act like a floating caliper but these were "argos" bikes so doubt the idea actually works the front disc caliper on the blade looks like a tektro unit
  21. i still can't work out why the effect comes with i.s.c.g mounts, zoots rule
  22. dude, i think you been either mis-read or haven't worded it correctly, yes you are just doing street trials nothing new (an it kinda sounds like your trying to invent a sport/style that is already about) theres no point asking do you like my style or similar questions, everyone has a style of their own, take julien dupont give him a moto-trials bike, some grind/stunt pegs an watch him rag a full motorbike round like a bmx (perhaps thats what inspired you if not see his vids on youtube)
