    "I hate smokers" thread

    Meh.. lot's of whinging in this thread. If someone is bothering you with their fag, ask them politely to move. Most don't realise they annoy you with it, and won't have a problem with it. Yeah, I smoke. I don't smoke indoors, and I'm pretty considerate towards non-smokers. Right up until they...

    Benefits cut warning over truancy

    I was a pretty much absent in 4th and 5th form (yeah, I'm old). My dad was not on benefits, and pretty much pulled his hair out trying to get me to go. At that time, they had no comprehension of what ADHD was, or that I was bored senseless with most lessons. I would say the majority of Truants...

    Depressing Facebook Statuses

    Go to your friends list... see that "X" by their name? Go on, push it... See what it does. There, don't you feel better now? I do when I push it... no more depressive attention seeking posts I don't care about.

    best wifi names you have picked up in your area

    the best one round here is "8meg my arse", while "poopybaby" is puzzling... Turned my wireless off, as one of the neighbours keeps trying to crack it by the looks of the WLAN light going on and off like a amphetamine fuelled lighthouse.

    Building my own portable battery pack...

    11.1v 5700mAh LiPo. That, balancer (Essential) and charger (plugs into charger) should be about 40 on a popular auction site. By far the best energy density of anything out there at the moment. Chuck it in a box with your adaptor, and hey presto.

    Recovery from abd motor

    If the freezer trick doesn't work, then opening it up in as clean and sealed environment as you can imagine isn't going to make things any worse, assuming he isn't going to spring for Professional Data Recovery. Give the hub of the motor a shove, and it may spin long enough to get stuff off. do...

    VERY VERY loud motorbike.

    There are some fairly meaty V-Twin kwaks out there. IIRC Akraprovic do a naughty set of can's that would produce just the kind of sound you describe.

    Rechargeable Batteries

    Almost all solar lights contain el-cheapo Ni-Cd batteries. Usually they won't charge Ni-MH, though the odd expensive (£50+) sets do.

    New mobo without reinstall?

    no probs... it's old, but still very applicable. must have 50+ mobo swaps under my belt without a reinstall, and he sum's it up far better than I could.

    What 26" TV to buy?

    Rightyo peeps. I'm in the market for a 26" LCD. Having kept up to date with current trends to a point, I am now looking for more detailed information. I am looking at Samsung, Sony and Panasonic, but am open to others (Except Toshiba... I don't like their UI), if it is a decent Quality set...

    Bridging(?) WiFi

    Can't return them now, as it's over 28 days. They were clearence anyway, so nice and cheap (£10 each, brand new) I'll have a look into WDS, cheers Tolien. If Bridging doesn't do what I want, it might be because it just can't, rather then me boing a complete idiot (There's a first!)

    Bridging(?) WiFi

    Okay. My Dad has decided to go with this "new-fangled Wireless internet", by which he means WiFi in his house, (And yes, he really did say that) Only problem is he wants to cover his whole house, and as it's fricking massive, even using my 'N' router in a central-ish position, I can't get...

    Is somebody pinching my wireless connection?

    Seconded. Or at least turn off "Remote Access" to the Router. I did this to a mate who swore blind it couldn't be done as his Wireless was "locked down" (And it was, RADIUS), but he left the "Remote access" enabled, as to was easier for him to configure through Wireless. Needless to say, he's...

    Webcams and Pier information

    Colwyn Bay Pier? Fairly interesting story about the Owner buying it for a pittance (£1 IIRC), and doing it up to it's present state. As piers go, it's a tiddler though.

    Lowest ever MPG reading

    my best to date is an estimated 7MPG, (I wasn't driving, but the car is mine... ) Early XJS 5.3 V12 (Silly thirsty, sub 20MPG under normal use), and a heavy right foot. Muchos fun proving people wrong with regards to a heavy car not having an acceleration:D
