Fair enough. The incompatibility pissed me off a bit so I switched over to Word after the Pages trial was up. Now it's annoying because I have a load of notes that are only accessible through Notes and can't be used on any other computer/my phone etc.

I ride in the peaks most weekends...

All of it. It would probably have been a waste of my time reading it. So I didn't

Mark, your post = rubbish. But does it mark the return of the OBM essay?

Pfft that's the wrong way round. His right hand was the little one

I've just realised I actually own a lomo, haha. It's a 'Supersampler' according to the website: http://shop.lomography.com/supersampler/ I haven't even used a whole roll of film in it yet, even though I've had it about two years. Seems pretty pointless to me but maybe I should finish off the roll and see what comes of it. EDIT: WTF this thing costs £38?! (Plus postage, natch). I really hope my girlfriend didn't pay that much. I've had disposables that are better quality.

Why?

Is it? Any differences? I'm still on PowerPC so I'm not sure if the upgrade will be worth it.

I was away last week and I think that was my 6th week in the alps, plus a couple of snowdome sessions. So yeah, I've done a bit

It does seem a bit insensitive, but to be fair, it's probably what he would have wanted.

I sorted it out, I merely had to create an fstab and use the following line: UUID=93333830-CC58-3446-B216-523B58D0CE8D none hfs rw,noauto 0 0 Where UUID is the unique identifier of the partition. The 'noauto' bit is the important bit - it prevents the volume from being automatically mounted. Works perfectly. Simple really

Someone I know is selling this, any use to you?

Is there any way of hiding a volume on my external drive? I've got a 10GB partition at the start of the drive with the leopard install on, which I want to keep. But every time I plug the drive in, two hard drives show up on the desktop/finder (I.e. 2 Partitions). Is there any way to 'hide' the 10Gb one but still be able to use it for booting from? I basically want to stop OS X from auto- mounting that partition.

Just because you can move your toes doesn't mean the bone can't be broken. Looks pretty bad, I'd get it checked out, especially if you can't put weight on it.

No you don't. Not since the days of 56k have you been forced into using anything. You can just connect a DSL modem as with any ISP.

Phil - try restarting whilst holding down the mouse button. Bondy - dodgy plug. The little plug should go in about as easily as the cable extension bit.

I think you'll find most girls have GHDs which cost that much. My girlfriend has two sets because she thought she'd lost one, so she bought another set, only to discover the old ones in a drawer EDIT: Just seen that eBuyer are doing the Nicky Clarke ones for £20. Just thought some of you fags guys might be interested.

The numlock button occasionally foxes me, was it that?

Nah it's not that Windows doesn't acknowledge them, it's just that it can't fully utilise them.

Yeah it'll read NTFS but not write. That NTFS 3G looks interesting, although I've never had any problems with my external drive being formatted as FAT32.

Plus when you put a 100mm fork on it, it'll slacken loads to 68-69 degrees which is way too slack. I still think a base is the best option. They're cheap because they're a few years old and discontinued - not, as you think, to artificially inflate the value of more expensive frames. They pretty much tick all the boxes too - cheap, light (ish), good geo for sus forks, strong. I think you'll like the standover of it too - it'll feel a hell of a lot lower than your crush. Unless you're doing 48" sidehops it probably won't make a difference, and I doubt you'll be going that high with sus forks anyway. The good thing is that if/when you decide you want to get into to trials more seriously and you get rid of the sus forks, it'll still be usable as trials frame. Whereas something like the GT will not.

Yeah, that's the easy way, but will involve wiping the drive. Also I don't think disk utility can format to FAT32, only Apple format so the drive will then only work with your mac and not PCs. If you format it with a PC, you can do it in FAT32. Type this into a cmd window: format i: /fs:fat32 Where i is the letter of the drive. BUT The best thing to do is to use a PC with Partition Magic. That way you can just change the file system to FAT32 without erasing anything. It takes a while and it's not foolproof (you should make backups of important stuff), but it works. It's not free software though.

I don't think so. Zeros were notorious for ALWAYS cracking in the same place. It was a design fault - or at least a design oversight, since no one could really have forseen it. They tried to make the chainstays too short without using a BB yoke, so the tubes had a big kink in them and a small weld area at the BB. And they all broke. Nowadays, pretty much every frame has a CNC yoke there which pretty much avoids this problem. People do destroy frames these days, but not as much. Also, they're destroyed in many different ways, different places etc. They're not let down by a design fault, just battered into submission by overuse. Which is fine.

But you know what he's on about though. There is a specific kind of person who will buy a lomo camera because they think they're being brilliantly arty. I would have gone with "pretentious wankers", but "smelly art students" seems nicer.
