    1080p PC

    Hi All, Thank you for the suggestions, apologies for no response until now, bit of a manic weekend. I worded it badly when i mentioned cost, I meant to say something to the tune of: I don't have a set budget, i'm thinking around £500 but can go up. Spending £600 for example wouldn't be the end...

    NY Trip - Hotel Choices

    Adding my 2 cents; I stayed in Brooklyn and it was fine commuting. Generally we were leaving to get into manhatten after rush hour (9-10sih) and coming back later in the evening than rush hour. It was never an issue. I can recommend being near a subway station though. I can't really recommend...

    Tax "avoider" commits suicide.

    In the article it stated: Again, as per my first post if i'm reading this wrong tell me. However it indicates they got paid what they would have after tax. AKA they should be paid £30 an hour and get £20 after tax? They got £20 and the tax wasn't paid. In which case these people have been...

    Tax "avoider" commits suicide.

    Fair enough, I read the article this morning and opened it now only to grab some quotes. Regardless no one has commented on the fact that these people received reduced wages to the amount of their tax, again unless I read it wrong.

    Tax "avoider" commits suicide.

    What about this bit? Am I reading this wrong or they got their after tax amount, it's the companies that paid them that got a saving? AKA they still got what they'd have got if they'd paid tax, but the government got screwed? And even if i'm wrong what about: Nothing is ever a black and...

    People who go and sit in their car to eat their luncheon at work

    I used to do it to read for a bit, nice quiet space. People always asked why I didnt read in the break room, well it was open to the sales floor, people were coming in and out making their lunches and quite frankly the chairs were no where near as comfortable as my car so why not. Now I only...

    Best Man Speech Help!

    Be complimentary and keep it short if you don't know what to do. A few things for a laugh, but don't try to rip into the groom. At the very least it'll be decent. It'd go far worse by trying to be funny and falling on your face, than just being nice and hitting it's mark. Also try to memorize...

    New Build

    Do you have another PC / Laptop? If so you could do a continuous ping and compare I guess? Something like: Ping 8.8.8.8 >> c:\pingtest.txt -t If one machine is getting spikes the whole time and the other isn't it might narrow it down.

    how far has youre hardware advanced since you joined OCUK?

    Well I upgraded to my signature but that's still my build, It's been unplugged for a long time, and I never even overclocked the damn thing so..... Whenever I do plug it in and play games it's all older stuff or mmo's like WoW so i'm not nearly limited yet.
