I've had nothing but good times with Virgin.
Ditto.
Ive said it before and I will say it again, simply fantastic service. No limits, no downtime in my 7 years use. Guanteed speeds, I have never dropped below my advertised speed ever. The only time I have not had the service was when BT were digging up the road for some reason and went through the f**king NTL cable with a pneumatic drill.
Otherwise fantastic price for the service and at the end of feburary speed bumps are happening 4mb is going to 10mb and then 20mb will be upped to 50mb. So speed is not a problem.

Im just going to say dont buy an iPod.
Yes I can say this because I do own one, all of my friends own them and have had more problems than any other MP3 player I have seen, as well as the annoying DRM not allowing you to copy files to and from the iPod, also syncing to just one iTunes library is pretty annoying.
There shold be a way to factory reset however you will lose your data.

He is a legend, I learnt how to build wheels from his site.
I hope the site stays up it has so much useful stuff on it that has helped me over the years. R.I.P.

I dont know if your running vista but it has a lot of standard processes, more than xp did so 60 or so is not uncommon. I have about 63 I think but no slowdown.
Might have some nice spyware or something though.

The top one could be from a slightly dodgy weld, but you are right there are not the traditional sharp edges from CNC machines. Who knows, maybe its forged but I doubt it.
-
That was my fantastic doing
Got my skillz with the cam down.
-
Of course, all the sockets have surge protection then I have one fat surge protector at the wall itself.
-
Update. Got some new stuff, 3 x 22, there is a 4th downstairs but they sent it by accident. Oh how tempting it was. I shall wait till next month to mount a 24/26 above the middle 22". Only change to the rig is a second HD 2600. Enjoy.
Just to give you all nightmares. I have one wall socket powering all of this
, it goes into a lead that splits to 4, then from that lead I have a multitap that goes into 2 and 4, off the 2 is my clock and the light, off the 4 i then have a 6 way and a 4 way, off the 6 way is another 4 way, and I have2 sockets spare. You do the math Should be getting a nice dual socket near the pc setup soon as its getting rediculous. -
XC and Mono are the same except eh XC has a disc mount, both with 21 engagements 3 springs all at once nothing offset.
Bulb has 36 engagement points and I think it too uses 3 springs however its ratchet teeth are a lot skinnier as it fits all 36 into one ring, thus they break a lot for trials.
Ti Glide is old as far as I remember, again its a mono with a Ti main body with out alu flanges, 21 engagements, 3 springs nothing offset.
I would reccomend spending a bit more, as most people probaboly will and getting the Pro II trials hub, 48 engagements, 4 springs, offset 2 engage at a time on a 24 tooth ratchet, thus lots of engagements and very strong as the teeth and ratchets are deep.

Sorry about the late replies, been in france.
I would just go with the Acer, my mate got a 22" HP monitor and he paid £70 more, my monitors have better quality on colours and better viewing angles which is quite amusing for me
. Will be adding another 22" to my setup and then a 24" as well, then hooking up virgin plus Should be sorted then. -
Im running a Surely 17t on my cranks for over a year now and no problem what so ever with Echo CNC 7075 cranks, he must have a defected pair or not put it on properly.
-
Echo did the longer lever, it will feel spongier just so people know. Not bad though.

I've recently got back from a snowboarding trip. I was going over a fairly sized table, about 10-12ft high and 25ft or so table to landing. I was trying a 180 nose grab, been pulling mutes and nose grabs fine all week as well as 180s, nearly nailed a 360 too. Anywho, as I can down the land the tip caught the top of the landing, I went flying head first into some fairly compacted snow, knocked myself out for about a minute or two and have damaged my neck and got a nice concussion. If that had happened on a gap or something it could have been a lot worse. I personally wear a helmet whenever I am doing anything extreme.
And to Onzaboy marks remark about not affecting other people, what if you cross the road without looking a car hits you and kills you, if the police say a helmet would have saved you then the driver would feel guilty and thus it would affect them. Whether it was their fault or not they know they hit someone and that's with them for the rest of their life.
I think they should be compulsory for the reason alone they do save your life or save you from injuries.

Hey, I am just about to order a second gfx card to get a third screen.
I have one PCI-E x16 lane and 2 x1 lanes. I am assuming it will be fine running a second card in the other lane, not in crossfire mode for the third screen. Dont need a lot of bandwidth anyway for pushing videos etc.
-
This is my current setup, dual 22" on the pc and the 19" running the 360.
Going to get a third 22" for the pc and then wall mount a 24" for the 360 so I can get 1080p
this will all happen when I get paid later this month.For those interested the tower has 4gb ram, Q6600 @ 3ghz, 2.67TB of hard drive space and a nice set of 8 silent fans
Runs cool as feck. Only running a HD2600 but I dont game, I mainly edit vids, listen to music, surf the net, msn, e-mail, photoshop etc, a lot of multitasking. -
I was trying to sleep, but was good hungry so I went and got food. Now I cant sleep as Im too excited about tomorrow, going to the French Alps, snowboarding

It is a discussion forum, he was making his point. Maybe billocks would think "hmm someone said it was boring, what can I do to improve this". Dont be so negative, sometimes comments such as those can be helpful.
-
Ditto.
You could always go ride your bike rather than watching a lot of videos
. I would but mines currently broken, waiting for parts. -
Could just ride outside to save some hassle, why would you want to ride in your bedroom anyway, surely things are just going to get broken.

Not too bad, more than i was expecting to be fair, has been a good christmas here, everyone was really happy with their presents. My aunt though is to ungrateful, my uncle bought my aunt a nice expensive Philips digital photo frame and she said "why did you buy me that, I dont want it". How rude is that ???
-
Ive just sent some money as its all I can afford now, be nice to see some pics of how the car is now, though to finish. Keep us all updated on how it goes. Depending how the raising goes, I might send more.
If you lived a little closer than pompy I would help
-
I think it looks good, thought this game was dead as its been so long, I read about it in an old Nintendo 64 mag when I had that console. Will be impressive if it actually makes it to release as I thought 3D Realms had money issues at some point.
-
For all of you with pussy fingers who cannot pull a lever it might feel like oil, for those of us who are not panzies, it feels the same.
Mine has been on an HS33 and a Dengura and feels fine, none of those slow retraction and its rock solid. Also it is insanely hard to snag, my bike has been dangling by the hosing before and its fine.
-
I dont have much money, quite in debt at the moment but I shall send some to help finish the mini.
Burnout Paradise 360
