  1. The cleaner frame looks quite nice in reality, despite what i initially thought of it in the pictures i changed my mind when i saw it in the flesh. They're beginner bikes... whats the problem? If they came as frame only i'd be very inclined to look at picking up a cleaner frame as i know it'd be fairly priced, long lasting and with a good warranty/breakage scheme. Surely thats something new riders want? The amount of parts i broke when i started was ridiculous, now i've gotten better and have better parts they don't break as much. If your continuously breaking parts its better to have a half price replacement policy than have to splash out full price again. I know someone who started riding on a monty, then before he could pedal hop had it changed to a fresh products 24" frame with kings everywhere.
  2. Sounds like he's only seen up until the last episode in season one. Shame his prediction about sylar was completely and utterly wrong. Apparently, the writers strike has set back filming of series 3, sylar wasn't going to be in it because he's shooting film footage for something but now the series has been set back he can do the filming for it and they've written his character back in. Apparently its going to have a group of villains emerge and find each other, in the same way the group of heroes has done... which could lead to some rather interesting fights.
  3. He didn't say small role model, he said he should be a better role model... read it again. The fact that you and other riders like yourself look up to him just reinforces andy's point in that Damon should think about how all the kids will want to be just like him, swearing and all. He also said he wasn't criticizing his riding ability, just his attitude.
  4. Really? I expected something like this....
  5. Wow, episode 11 was a good one. Didn't see that ending coming though He's blatantly coming back though, he has to.
  6. Writers have gone on strike. If the company bends to their demands the show will continue. If not, episode 11 will be the final show.
  7. Well the little mini acer one is about the same spec as you've just listed. Theres very little difference in the processors. So it still applies. The spec of the second one is better, the dual core processor would be more fitting for a vista based pc than an old single core one. I'd go for the second pc unit with this screen
  8. Did you try using a patch on the game? The sad fact of the matter with pc gaming is its very rare that an old game will just work on a new computer. Due to the range of parts, drivers and operating systems available there is a lot of different factors that can cause a conflict. The way to overcome these is to release the game, then release patches that address the problems that some people have. Patching a game might be mundane, but its part and parcel of pc gaming. Vista is also coming up towards xp on performance in games now, with the difference being 4-5fps and in some cases it runs faster. DX10 is one of the big features of vista, but until games are coded for dx10 and not coded for dx9 with a few dx10 features added on, we won't see the benefits of the new coding standard.
  9. The 256mb 7600gs would fit perfectly in with that system, giving you a well balanced system capable of playing most current and upcoming titles with high settings on that monitor. The 512mb of ram would be wasted with that monitor, its only really needed at resolutions of 1680x1200 and upwards, the 19" one is 1440x900 so 256mb will be more than enough.
  10. This one is pretty good value for your money, i'd definately buy this over other cards at the same sort of price range. If you can stretch out another £5 the 256mb version would be better. What exactly do you need the 512mb of video ram for? If its because someone told you to get the most ram you can then don't make it a priority if the card is as cheap as this. You'd be better off with a faster card with lower ram than a slower one with more ram, because the slower can't might be able to load up bigger textures etc, but it won't be able to process them as fast so it kind of cancels it out. If you have the faster card it might need to access the textures more often, but it will be able to process them faster so it should give you a faster image. Nope, it isn't look here, the 7600gs floors it, being nearly twice as fast despite half the memory
  11. Actually, decent ram is at its cheapest right now and for 2gb of ram you'd be looking at spending £30-35. For 4gb you'd be looking at around £65-70. So they got a low spec computer and wondered why vista performed slower? Vista needs more ram than that if your going to be doing tests/gaming on it. 2gb minimum... because it allocates ram in a different way to xp (not because it uses it up by running vista itself). In theory, with 2gb of ram, vista should be faster than xp because it will prefetch all the things you'd be likely to do in your office program so it can load them up faster, as opposed to xp's ancient method of click it then load it into the ram. At the end of the day, if you've got a decent computer and don't game on it and by game i mean buy the latest titles like crysis and expect to play them at full settings rather than all the people who claim to be gamers but try running their games at the lowest possible settings on a museum piece of a pc, then buy vista. Theres tonnes more features in it that vastly improve it over xp and the people who still advise you not to get it aren't helping you in the slightest, and are usually only saying it because they're set in their ways/too scared to welcome change. If you have a 3ghz single core processor or a dual core one, over 1gb of ram then go for vista. If its less than that, stick with xp and look at getting vista when you get a new computer.
  12. I didn't give a link though and nick can see mine after he followed rich's link, despite me making myself a different member account I don't trust this site enough top type click okay with my paypal details. Okay, i went and clicked it... it pulled up my details from the paypal webpage so i guess that was legit... it also wasn't a webpage like www.paypal.com/blahblahblah.com so it wasn't BLATANTLY fake lol, whether they had a tracker on their site that monitored what i put in the paypal bit or not is a different matter i guess Only time will tell, its not like that paypal address is linked to my bank account thats just received my student loan At least the bank sorted out my last credit card fraud thing and refunded the money so i know their good EDIT: All it charges you for is the postage so it just looks like you've randomly sent them money, which means theres no receipt for a camera and it doesn't show in the order history. They said they will refund me the postage amount though so unfortunately this time... we can't get a free camera Patt says hello, because he's gay
  13. Ha ha, shit. I guess it remembers the last person there that followed that link. Ah well, now you know where to send some free stuff
  14. Okay, when it gets to the paypal page it doesn't have an item, it just describes it as: Item Unit Price Qty Total ElectrorMart.com £0.00 1 £0.01 Paypal also won't accept that it costs £0.00. EDIT: Seems the final cost price box is an editable field ... i can just type my own price in.
  15. Must be good, if we click your link it comes up with 2 items in the basket and remembers our address..... when i say "our" address, i mean its done it for me but its typed in yours..... Luckily it erased your card details. Just a shame i don't live on portland street or i wouldn't have had to re-type it myself. f**k it, i'll have a bash with it using my paypal account lol
  16. The kid brother in family guy. Chris could also be the name of many people you can remember from highschool. Usually you will remember this kid for having an unasually small penis. Chris could also be a popular baby name. name that lasts forever. Hey chris was so funny last night in family guy. Hey you remember that dude from highschool, chris, yeah he had a tiny penis LMAO, sucks to be me i guess EDIT: in retrospect that wording sounds a bit suspect when put with that description :$
  17. Theres no point though, i'd imagine it comes with vista 32bit which can only 3.2gb or something like that. Its just wasted ram.
  18. I think its more obvious deng will win because nobody with a non-deng frame can vote
  19. Yeah, you messed your poll up. It doesn't work if you don't ride a deng frame
  20. Thats well bad mate, i really do feel for you. Is there no CCTV available from the car park showing that you were aiming for the french car first and hit them whilst trying to avoid the other one?
  21. Canon 400D, but i'm paying for a lot of it as its very expensive. I daren't ask for anything else as it'd be far too cheeky. Though my parents will probably get me a tin of quality street, they seem to do that every year and we all sit down put some movies on and munch out on some chocolate before xmas dinner . I'll be able to take lots of photo's of it this year too
  22. I feel like i lost part of my life ... was expecting it to fold or soemthing but it was just a few dents. I've ridden round for a couple of months with a rim worse than that.
  23. Some pretty good riding there... but these front gaps down don't look right, they look wrong and almost painful. Other than that though, pretty damn good. I'm sure theres lots of people that are envious of such an ability.
