  1. We have had ours upgraded here as well and we seem to get 6.5mb/s so not too bad. I had a very bad experiance with the Home Hub because i had the start of Chicken pox and installed the hub with the microfilter then extension so it never worked very well and then i swapped it so it was extension then microfilter and all was dandy. I also got the hub phone in the post later on this week and it is just as good as well.

    Has anyone actually seen any difference in speed or not?

  2. Two very nice games are Americas Army (if you have a fast connection) and Wolfenstien Enemy Territory. Both run flawlessly on Vista and you can get them both from a Polish website which has an OK server: www.cda.pl they are on the left.

    EDIT

    As said above they require to be run in Compat mode but otherwise your fine.

  3. Its been bugging me all night and I just cant figure it out. Who sings the song thats in thrillers and goes;

    "everybody aint working right now, here comes the boom"

    Please its bugging me soo much

  4. similar to the what's in your pocket game of yesteryear.

    what have you got plugged into your lovely computing devices?

    (this could well turn out to be shit)

    suppose i'll start.

    Xbox 360 controller (for project 64, awesome fun)

    iPod - on charge

    some sort of phono lead splitter for my speakers

    and a flash drive

    Was just wondering did you get the wireless adapter or is there some sort of way to do it through plug and play ?

    Back on Topic;

    I have nothing plugged in ever on the Laptop other than a CF PCMIA adapter.

    I always have the psp dock, ipod charger (Homemade Ipod Dock ***!!1) and Printer.

  5. Iv'e never had the experiance of that but I do remember we were in a travelodge down in Edinburgh and the shower head had been cracked and we told them about it and they never butted an eye and then on the second last day it burst off and the loss in pressure made it go extremely hot and still have a very little SCAR from that but still got a discount because of it! wooop :lol:

    Oh and those cafetierre-sp? things i was using and it popped open and hot coffee went all over me, smelt like coffee for days and the sting was there for a day or two.

  6. Just a thought but maybe get a family member or friend to give you like 5 sweets (Werthers Toffees,ooooooooooooh theyr'e good) with you blindfolded and get them to mix it up (randomize the order) and then give you them seperately and maybe it might work.

    But remember don't chew them.

  7. Can gui style skins be downloaded for standard windows?

    Also does anyone know where that patch is to allow you to use non default skins on the normal form?

    Where'd you get that skin/theme for xp? Is it part of a program or a them you can choose in desktop properties?

    The theme patcher can be found here for SP2 users : http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enh...tiPatcher.shtml

    But I recommend that you get WindowBlinds shareware version, its alot better and you can get thousands of skins from www.wincustomize.com.

    post-8702-1171726553_thumb.jpgThats mine. I am really starting to get used to the Vista look, but have stayed with the speed of XP.

  8. Do Alpine do USB headunits yet? At the price of flash disks now (4gb for ~£25) i want one with a couple of disks :)

    They don't do USB headunits of such they do an adapter for any Alpine Unit. The only bad thing is its quite a bit pricey £150.

    So really your just as good staying with CD's.

  9. my advice. aero mechanic or forces, i wouldnt try crack trying to be a photographer, just look at this forum, to see how many people are well handy with a camera on here.and theres probably a bunch of people more talented than the photographers in here who will never make it, cos its competitive. also youll probably if you do make it, end up being freelance, so chances of permanent work are very slim, and pensions etc are none existant.

    if your into it that much, get a proper career, and do it on the side at weekends, either for your own enjoyment, or for a bit of extra cash if your good enough.

    1. That has made me think a lot more, because I was very biased, never really thought about it that way.

    Join the club!

    Im 21, still live at home, have worked in an office for 3 years and still have no clue what I want to do with my life :P

    Sorry im not trying to be mean but LMAO!

  10. Well tomorrow im seeing my guidance for careers choice, and to tell you the truth I don't know at all what I want to do.

    I only jobs that I am considering at the moment are Photography, Aero Mechanic (Civvy), Forces.

    What jobs would you reccomend and what did you say to you careers advisor if you had one.

    The main thing I know is I would like to earn a decent pay.

  11. Hey all

    Well im off to France on a School Ski Trip and we are allowed to take our PSP an I have some Still Game Episodes and other videos e.t.c But heres the problemo only have 2 512mb cards so I can only have about 3 Episodes and for a Week thats not enough, also dont tell me to watch TV it'l be French!

    So I was thinking a Web Host/ File Sharing site so I could download my vids from that, It needs to be able to store pictures, Videos MPEG-4, also MP3 would be good ,but with all this Pirating it doesnt really matter.

    It has to have fast download speeds, fast uploading so I can put my camera pictures up, I need about 5gb if theres a decent website.

    Also does anyone a good PSP converting software and don't say PSP Video 9 IMO its rubbish.

  12. Hey, If i hadn't been told 'bout the custom themes I would have atleast 2 hours of my life back :P , My fav is the Media center edition alot better on the eyes IMO, I want to see what Vista is like, lurvin the look of that, but I can't grab this .msstyles thing though any help would be appreciated.

  13. Well after being on the phone to a mate and realizing we had spent 30mins on the phone discussing cinema and town................I had a thought, Internet calling and then Skype was decided on, downloaded this and then started phoning, well every time I phone him or he phones me, we get about 3mins and it cuts out, I started looking for answers, and so far have only tried Windows Zero wireless or something along those lines, anyone else had this problem and fixed it?

    After reading Terrors post about his speakers I decided to get my 2.1 set from the loft, but the thing is they are distorted and just plane cr*p coming through my PC that is, if I connect it to my Ipod it's alot better. I have changed the settings in sound settings but this doesn't change anything, could I download some software to fix this?
