    computer slowing down

    99% idle is GOOD, it means what it says, 99% idle. Just because the hdd is being accessed a lot doesnt for one minute point to just lsass (which, incedentally is the name of a genuine microsoft file used to check user credentials as well as there being some nastys that have the same name).

    For whom the road tolls

    which translated means to me "lets get the swag bag ready we're robbing our folks again" Thats what they are forcing us to do, and as soon as "enough" people do, then of course there will be bus and train tax and/or the prices will sky rocket (again)

    Ping....someone explain it to me!

    whichever way you want tu put it, if you have a slow connection and/or your pc isnt up to spec, the ping within the game will be higher than if the opposite were true for a given server. click for a report in Dec 2006 which advises of the contention ratioj for Zen internet - I use Zen and...

    Ping....someone explain it to me!

    Whilst the ping measured within games isnt usually done by the game shelling out to a dos ping command, the basica idea is the same - it checks the time for packets to get from A to B since when?

    Company website?

    First I've heard of it as well, I reckon they have just not bothered telling everyone so they can start issuing fines

    ID chips in wheelie bins

    We dont have one on our street, or if we do I've never seen it. There are ones that do the main roads, they go about 2 mph, and only ever work in the rush our.

    dumping place to get rid of after renewal leftovers

    Just take them to your local recycle centre, just dont go in a company van or they will say its commercial waste. Say you just had a new bathroom and these are the old bits.

    Vista

    Had RC1 for some time, I'll have no choice but to buy the final at some stage. Be carful with upgrade coupons, you'll probably end up with home basic (which is fine if you want home basic!)

    Joker Joints or COAX assembly system

    You could try mercers in blackburn, they do a similar product for sure but its not a highly polished finish, otherwise it looks to be the same or very similar.

    new plunge router

    Maybe it ought to "break" and get exchanged for a better brand (no offence to the person that bought it you, their intentions were well and a router is a cool prezzy) BUT blackspur are about as cheap and nasty as it gets when it comes to tools (alongside rolson "qualityless tools") they are very...

    GARMIN Street Pilot 2610 - help!!!

    My honest opinion is take it back and get tomtom, I've seen and used both on several occasions and each time I've had nothing but hassle with Garmin. I use tomtom on a daily basis (on a PDA not a standalone but the program itself is basically the same) dead easy to setup.

    ID chips in wheelie bins

    Well the idea IMO is just a load of ****e, all it will do is fine honest tax payers who usually earn their own crust and pay their way, whilst leaving the no hopers and dossers who dont pay council tax anyway to carry on chucking whatever crap they want in theor own or other peoples bins, and if...
