    Noises from Computer

    Mostly rebadged Casemate rubbish. Corsair or Coolermaster is my choice. the latter not much more expensive at £50-60 and the former stuff at £70-240.

    pc problem

    Why do people like powerfulp give Mac users a bad name? Mac OSX is a fairly restricted OS (based on free/netbsd) which works incredibly well because Apple then restrict the hardware that it works on. Yes you can hackintosh a dell netbook but the pain is not worth it for what you achieve...

    Noises from Computer

    Its also worth remembering that airflow is required even with the best fan setup. Make sure your fans are either extracting or blowing in the right direction, the amount of rear fans Ive seen blowing air into the case is amazing. Cable tie your power and ide/sata cables to either each...

    usb adapors

    The more expensive ones tend to be shielded better so will less prone to interference such as RF. Can you explain your setup more? Why would you want a usb connector for a wifi router?

    Stabilisation

    Basically the DSLAM has a load of ip profiles, on initial take-on the provide an ip profile suited to your , then, speeds and responses. Of course this isn't very accurate as your initial ip profile might be attributed during an off (or on) peak time in which case you may suffer over or...

    My Daughter got a first!

    A PhD is a doctorate, it's a type of doctorate. Think of doctorate as cars and a PhD (for example) as a Jaguar or a Porsche. There, a car analogy to boot.

    The members are among the hackers....

    Why would anyone care? Why would anyone use an , here-to unknown, exploit to somehow manage to spoof their ip to the Facebook server to match yours Even if they did, you don't have proof and given your inane ramblings on here then any correspondence you did have with Facebook/police/isp would...

    Your ;) On MickyMoody's point, us parents have organised specialised groups which offer holiday cover for the weeks we cannot take off work, so we don't leave them home alone as he puts it. When a strike/illness/whatever happens and forces a day without school or care then we either have...

    Computer hacking..

    Micky proving himself for the computer illiterate he is :D A DoS attack via ping from one machine? So umm ICMP block would not help at all then? Even a DDoS using ping would achieve nothing. Surprised he doesn't suggest an OOB (Out of bounds) attack as cutting edge next. And Apple don't...

    testing my down stair lights

    A neon voltstick? Rub your feet on a wool carpet and apply the same tester to yourself and it'll glow, dont think you're putting out 230v ;) Voltsticks are only useful for (depending on who you ask) 1. The bin 2. Checking that your "test for dead" looks to be dead before really...

    testing my down stair lights

    Why dont you just continue your other thread rather than starting new ones? Which is it? You put a new bulb and continuity was lost or (in your other thread) you removed a switch plate without making note of what went where and continuity was lost?

    IPAD or LAPTOP?

    Still think your missing the point of the iPad ;) Should it be considered as a replacement for a laptop? No. Should it be viewed as a "gorgeous" gadget that, if you can afford it, is like any other gadget, useful for what its built for? Yes. I really did not think I'd be using the iPad...

    IPAD or LAPTOP?

    Eh? Ipad2 w/32gb wifi +3G =£460 And then I just connect it via file browser £1.50 to my 3tb NAS. That's 300mb connection over local wifi (bonded channel) , whatever my wifi connection is remotely or gigabit wired. You are still missing the point of a tablet versus a netbook/laptop...

    IPAD or LAPTOP?

    You can't really compare the two, I struggle to even compare the Mac Air to an iPad and the Air is about as close to a lightweight tablet equivalent laptop that you can get. I use the iPad(2) for browsing the web, watching video, music, email and project management. I use the Air for...
