Not sure if this should be in the software section! We now have a PC in the sheds at work (im a greenkeeper) but its painfully slow. I reckon its the 8gb hdd with 1gb of free space. Im gonna stick a 40gb drive in there tomorrow but will need to clone the existing hdd so would appreciate...

thwoar, back on the bike now!

flippin' hell. That bike has been sat in the garage for 3 years now. Iven been through 4 vans and am now on a volvo estate since then!(at least its a t4, which will get remapped soon I reckon so good for 250bhp) I must must must get the bike on the road again. Nothing better than the wind in...

I am studying a design and technology module with the Open University (module T307) and have a very basic survey I need reponses to. It is anonymous and no email address, registration or name etc is required. I have until the 30th to do the whole assignment which is vaguely based on this...

Im well out of date with computers now! I use an athlon xp desktop at the office and a celly 450mhz laptop at home. So my answers might not be quite what your looking for! Im only answering cos I saw a magazine in a shop the other day saying "everything you need to know about overclocking" I...

Car boot sales are cool. Its at car boot sales you pick up that lost piece of Ming ware for 50p..... when really its worth 50k!

I would have thought the difference engine by Charles Babbage was the first computer? That was the ealry 1800s. Still a good article. A good job to work on, im sure. Edit, Ok. After a quick google.... the difference engine was designed in 1822. Construction finished around 1989-1991.

In my experience you'll be lucky to get a penny for them on ebay. We have carboot sales in the uk. Markets made up of dozens or even 100s of garage sales all in the same field. Games,golf balls all that tat sells well there!

Its because all ISPs have a contention ratio. We are all sharing our connection. Last I heard, AOL dont throttle connections,but that was a year or two ago.

Ive already tried mobile 6.5. My phone is back to 6.1. The "desktop" now has a carousel style list of options (net, phonebook, pics, video etc) and the programs list is in a honeycone layout instead of a square 3xY layout. I dont actually remember a start menu on the desktop.... only beyond...

I had them on a 533 fsb P4 asus board. It was only an sd ram one. That was the most recent board. I wonder why they aren't used anymore. lol, Maybe cost?

There is DIP switches too. Though not that common anymore. I prefer them!

I just go to work! 60 hrs of light continuous exercise a week. I do snowdon every month or so, and a couple of walks around the lanes or on the sandstone ridge that passes through our area. Im seriously considering the National Three Peaks Challenge. (climb the biggest mountain in England...

:) My O2 phone works when I have my back to the kitchen wall next to the mirror and when im stood slap bang in the middle of the conservatory. Its useless! £160 is a rip off though. Im not sure anything extra should be paid really.

which should I go for? This one needs a bit of work.... not just filler and paint either! SEPECAT JAGUAR GR3 JET AIRCRAFT ex. RAF AEROPLANE on eBay, also, Aircraft, Aircraft Aviation, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 29-May-09 16:00:11 BST) This one is at my home city. (We have a disbanded RAF...

Ive heard about this before. I suppose it would sell. Id have no desire to spy on my family though. Dead or alive.

I think thats the sort of info that costs you 10s of thousands!

Drives not showing up in BIOS isn't a virus. Its usually that the jumpers need changing (some motherboards might only show a drive if you make it master/slave as opposed to CS), faulty power or data cable, some BIOSs might not support a drive with that capacity and also power spikes. So long as...
