Re: Post your jokes here!

Captain Kidd and his crew were on the high seas when they were attacked by Blackbeard, their arch enemy. The first shot by Blackbeard's gunners took off Kidd's forward mast. The second shot splintered the center mast, and the third desintegrated the rear mast. Panic stricken, one of Kidd's men asked...

Re: New PC freezing. Need help!

I would check your temps while playing a game to make sure nothing is overheating. I believe ntune can do a log of temperatures over time so you might want to look into that.

Re: Dawn of War 2

I'm in completely the wrong country for smooth online play with you unfortunately :P I normally only play RTS in singleplayer now anyway. Can I ask why?

It'd probably be under the CBE umbrella (check sig) and we'...

Re: I have no idea what to look for in a mobile..

I would look at the contract/prices on the xperia compared to the nokia 6500/6600 From what I saw on carphone warehouse the best deals for each will be £35 a month with around 600minutes and unlimited texts. The only difference is the xperia will cost £146.79. My friend with the 6500 slide texts all...

Re: Overclock is stable EXCEPT for Winamp

Nonsense. I run them for less than 10 minutes in order to decide whether it's good. Then again, I generally settle with an overclock quite quickly. For memory, I use the built-in Windows test, either 8 runs of "Basic", 4 runs of "Standard" or 1 run of "Extended" (Basic...

Whoops turned out instead of the N96 my mate has a N95 8GB. Apparently the battery sucks on it so watch out maybe. What you should do Annabel is go into carphone warehouse or wherever with a list of phones and ask to test them all one at a time and keep saying you will make your decision at the end ...

Re: I have no idea what to look for in a mobile..

Well 2 of my friends have these phones:

Nokia 6500 Slide
Nokia N96

and they both seem extremely happy with them. Out of the 2 I would personally go with the N96 as it is better specced and nicer to use. I would recommend just going in and finding out for yourself by using them though.

I actually enjoy older graphics. the other day I was playing uT99 and heard complaints about the graphics. I was just like it does what it is meant to do so it's good enough for me :P
