    Had the dog put down today after it went for a child.....

    Sorry to hear that OP, I own a pair of Whippets myself and was shocked to read the breed of dog involved as they're usually so friendly. For what it's worth, I believe you did the right thing. If this had happened to me my initial reaction would've been to send the dog to a working home with...

    All dogs to be chipped by 2016

    The way this is worded it sounds like in the event of your dog being found by the local authorities you then have to get it chipped or pay the fine. If this is the case then most people won't bother and just get their dogs chipped if they're lost and found by 'the wrong person' from their...

    *** Nexus 10 Tablet ***

    What roms and kernels are you guys using? I'm using the stock rom and ktmanta kernel at the mo (pegasusq, noop) and the battery life's better for it. I've been using paranoid until this morning but was finding it a little buggy with the navbar clock often vanishing and the odd reboot which never...

    *** Nexus 10 Tablet ***

    Mine's fine on the Toshiba set in my room but has the no audio bug on the Panasonic plasma downstairs which is a few years newer. From what I read it's a handshaking issue on Panasonic tvs, hope it can be sorted.

    New tablet, iPad vs N10 vs Note vs TPT2

    I owned an ipad 4, had an ipad 3 before that and now have a nexus 10 32gb. I'd say that if you have no interest in rooting and all that entails the ipad 4 is the best of the bunch. I found the ipad 4 to be a bit snappier than the previous version though in fairness that was no slouch either...

    ****** Official World of Tanks OcUK Clan ******

    I like the new engine for the most part, just a shame you're limited to fxaa when using 'improved' mode. I found a link for an nv inspector code to enable any type of fsaa you choose but it requires lighting to be disabled and leaves the ready brek glow around your tank you usually only see if...

    Windows 8 Consumer Preview Thread

    I finally got round to trying this out last night, using the 9200 build on my netbook. I expected to be shaking a stick at it but it's been fine, no issues with any of my programs thus far and it runs very well even on this. I wish I could install this on my main pc now and activate it next...

    ****** Official World of Tanks OcUK Clan ******

    The IS3 is the better tank though there's not a massive amount in it. The main thing is that the IS3 has much better tanks to research than the KT does further down the line.

    Which is the better GTX 660 card? (board pics included)

    If it's any help as far as noise goes, my current card is inaudible at full load over my quiet case fans.

    How often do you re-install?

    I only recently reinstalled after running 7 since 2009 because of a total system rebuild. Weirdly enough my old install seemed to run fine when I first powered on even though the only remaining bit of hardware was my hdd but I thought it was time to finally bite the bullet and format. Now in a...

    ***Official Ivybridge Overclock Thread***

    I built an IB system last week and have settled on 4.4 Ghz, 1.2v vcore as my 24/7 overclock. Idle temps are typically around 27, under prime they max out on the hottest core at 78 with my fan in silent mode. I'm sure I could knock a few degrees off by removing the silent adapter but don't see...

    To go fibre or not ?

    I went from be to sky fiber after moving house. I was also very happy with be's service but now I live further away from the exchange I had to go fiber to keep decent speeds. 40 down and 10 up with sky at around the same cost be was, can't fault them thus far. I'd try sky if I were you or at...

    Guild Wars 2

    Anyone else getting the 'hardware failure detected' error when using afterburner? I can run the game fine when I close afterburner but the problem is my graphics card sounds like a hair dryer when I do :P

    staffordshire bull terrier, why?

    I think they get a very unfair rep regarding their disposition to people, from my experience with them they've always been very gentle towards humans. With newly met dogs of the same sex they can be horrendous though and there's no denying that. I know that any breed has the potential to go...

    £350 Ivybridge/mobo/ram/cooler/case build

    Good point, the extra tenner is well worth the longer warranty. Thanks for the info guys :)

    £350 Ivybridge/mobo/ram/cooler/case build

    It's time for an upgrade as my trusty s775 setup has finally refused to boot and I'll be ordering some new components next week. I have no interest in a dual gpu setup and am happy to run at stock cpu with turbo boost. Main reason for the cpu cooler is to be as quiet as possible, included a case...

    McCleish gone

    I'm really hoping we manage to get him on board. Lots of people are saying it's a risk, maybe it is, more so than Lambert would have been but the main reason we're all excited at the prospect of OGS is that the guy has his teams play attractive, attacking football. After enduring a season of...

    upgrade from E6550

    It did seem a lot to me when I applied it (had always used the rice grain method in the past) but I'd read a few accounts of people saying they used more paste for q6600s compared to e6600s. It probably made absolutely no difference using the extra but my temps have been fine :)
