What sort of budget are you looking at?

We had this problem in our flat last year. Doing the following seemed to help:
go start>run...
type in 'services.msc' and press ok
Scroll down until you get to wireless configuration or wireless zero configuration
double click on it.
If you've got a connection at the time, change start up type to manual if it's on automatic, then click stop on service status.
ok everything
If this doesn't work you can set it all back to automatic and started and you should have the same situation as you started with.
Good luck,
Andy

I do understand what he's saying, it's just that as soon as people like teachers or politicians start telling us that we should only see people, then you are going down the road to having one big global culture with none of the diversity that we have now.
For example: people somewhere (i think it's a rainforest tribe) have taken to putting wooden plates under their bottom lip to artificially increase its size. Now I don't find this attractive at all, and I certainly wouldn't see someone who'd done it as just another person - i'd see them as someone who had a great big bottom lip. That would be their defining feature. This doesn't make me prejudiced against them in any way shape or form. In fact, they'd probably be chuffed i'd noticed.
In a country where the majority of people are white, then we are always going to see a black person walking down the street as a black person, because this helps us differentiate between them and the millions of other people it could have been. Why on earth are people trying to say otherwise? I just can't understand it because it degrades everyone's heritage to do so.

Wouldn't it be beautiful if we only saw people?
Tall people, Short People, Happy People, Grumpy people - but never black or white people.

No it f**king wouldn't. If all we saw were people then we would lose all individuality.
I'm a geek. I'm happy being a geek. People may take the piss out of the fact that i'm a geek, but it doesn't bother me because it's just one of the many things that make me who I am. If someone said that I was no longer a geek because calling me it made them feel uncomfortable, then I would tell them to sod off and stop pushing their opinion on everyone else just cos it made them feel better.

Racism is discrimination because of someone's race right? Something which is wrong because they can't do anything about it right? So surely that doesn't make it right to take the piss out of anyone for something they can't help, i.e. people who look weird. They can't help being whatever they are just as much as people of a racial minority who may also be considered to "look weird" so how can racism be so much worse than any discrimination for looks. The rules at our school state that racism is punished by expulsion whereas someone could be bullied for looking a bit different (a group of my friends that are "greebos" were all being bullied by a group of chav scum) and they simply get told not to do it again and let off. - By the way this isn't neccesarily my point of view it's just what I though of when I looked at the wider picture.
it's a bit different though, because your greebo mates could stop looking like that any time they wanted; they're doing it cos they want to. If my skin was black then i wouldn't be able to change it's colour quite so easily.

P.S. In relation to what Chris said, many people will argue that if a black person uses nigger on another black person it is ok. I would like to shed light on this: when a non-jew calls me a Jew I feel hurt and upset, I may not show it but I do, but when a Jew says it it feels different and ok. Don't ask me why but that's how it is and I'd assume it's the same with black people.

Fair enough, but it's getting to the stage where people are afraid to use the colour of someone's skin to describe them, for fear of being racist.
I agree something needs to be done, but getting narked cos someone's been called 'nigger' is not the way to go about it. The only reason that the woman/girl would have called your mate one, Spacemunkee, is because she knew it would aggravate you. If she could see that it didn't bother him or you one bit, then the chances are that she'd realise that the insult didn't work and so would stop using it.
Before we stop being racist, we've got to stop generalising about other headings which you can gather folk: Just because someone wears a tracksuit does not mean that you have a penchant for stealing things, again it's just a small minority.

Does the number of people who have rejected your "suggestion" not convince you that:
a) it is a badly explained/ill informed viewpoint
:- short of being ill informed, you are a fairly ingorant indevidual, whoes knowledge of world issues should be re-assessed before starting a debate.
But you see that assumes that the people on the forum disagreeing with him are sufficiently intelligent to understand the problem to a greater depth than Phil.

Anyway, this seems to be mixing up two mostly separate items. The tidal wave relief effort should not be confused with getting rid of third world debt. Indonesia isn't even in the third world.
Do you not think these are incredibly trivial when compared to millions dying of starvation and disease, with infections like HIV showing no signs of coming under control and countless numbers not even having access to a clean water supply?Sorry dude, but one person I know dying of something preventable makes a lot more of an impression than millions in another country. Selfish, I know, but that's human nature.
what about the child! not the parent the CHILD! thats what all my arguments are about the child doesn't deserve to be born into poverty and starvation! it isn't fair and its needless suffering!agreed.
Thats the point though our ancesters got their finger out their arse and took advantage of what they hadYes, but taking advantage of what they had seemed to at one point or another, mean going out and colonising most of the countries who are now struggling, because we fancied a bit more of an empire. Don't you think we owe them some help (preferably not monetary) since we pretty much stopped any natural development in its tracks for sugar plantations and the like. Does the word 'slave' sound familiar?
the only thing you've probably done is bought the band aid singletrust me when i say that i very much doubt it :P
Survival of the fittest is difficult to argue effectively or convincingly, as it is not us who are the architects of our own success. As “Anal Teflon” loosely pointed out, it is down to the success of our “ancestors” (by this I assume he means: people who most likely are no relation to him whatsoever, but from whom he is lucky enough to have inherited a fully industrialised country at the time of his birth). So we are lucky. That has been pretty well established; but does that fact give us the right to pull the old Survival of the fittest line? The Natural Selection, superior species ideal (nice to see relics of Nazi Germany still remain intact; the thesis of a racist bigot (by the name of Darwin), given a uniform and a gas chamber).Nicely put, and it's good to see you've been watching some tv documentaries on 'the real Darwin' to flavour your prose. Fairdos though, i've been to the site of one of the concentration camps, and there are no words to describe the feelings you get when you walk through the 'shower block'.
And that's without going into the fact that these poor families probably weren't expecting to live in such poor conditions. Add to that the culture in other countries (It's probably seen as natural to have children - Quite rightly imho) and I have a pretty f**king strong argument.But no one in their right mind would want to bring a child into the world where all they will know is suffering. That is pure selfishness on the part of the adults. In fact, it seems that quite a lot of the blame lies with the men, as since becoming aware of the West, all a lot of them seem to want to do is drink and gamble their lives away, leaving wifey to bring up the kids and take care of the livelihood.
I wish i could write as much for the project i've got to get started on...

Summary: We should help the heavily indebted countries because we or our ancestors have profited from putting them in that position in the first place. But ffs don't just give them money.

I think the above pretty much says what is needed. Well done :lol:
Nice to see someone taking a thoughtful approach to this situation.

Cheers,

if you use deionised water during the winter and you keep your bike outside for any long stretch of time, the water will freeze: it's happened to one of my mates :-. With regards to anti freeze, the jury's out on whether or not it will corrode your seals. Really it's just best to use wd40 or royal blood.

Revision

Doing the best you can do in GCSE's is important if you want to go to uni if i remember rightly, cos when you're filling in uni application forms, i think some of your predicted grades are based on GCSE results. Also, cos i didn't get enough A's at GCSE, i wasn't put on the list for Oxbridge application, so if this is important to you, make sure you revise.
