    Node 304 discontinued? Alternatives?

    I've been waiting for the black Fractal Design to come back into stock in various places, but one has flagged it up as discontinued? Anyone know if this is true, and if so, recommendations for alternatives would be greatly welcomed. Small, quiet, good looking enough to sit under the TV in the...

    Any love for the BSDs?

    Thanks for the pointers. I've not delved that deeply into Linux but started using it nearly twenty years ago, and nothing else at home for about twelve. I'm sure I'll be comfortable enough with GhostBSD.

    Any love for the BSDs?

    @Rainmaker, that was a pretty persuasive post! I'm going to give it a try as a result.

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    Drop survivability not good without a case... In work on Friday, I took my case off to charge my phone and because it is so slippery, I dropped it on the floor. Screen cracked and unresponsive now. You can still see things fine though - it's taunting me. I've had it less than three months! I'm...

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    On ebay - item number 221551631747. I've also picked up a cheapo case (141258980225) and it does the job fine. It's a bit loose below the microSD card flap but I don't really care. Are the more expensive cases actually worth bothering with?

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    My Magnector adaptor turned up today and it is much better than the cheapo ones. Pity it costs over a tenner! Probably worth paying the difference though as even the cheap ones aren't THAT cheap...

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    I've just got two full days from mine no problem and my wife's is just above 20% after it having only one charge so far, LAST FRIDAY! She's been reading ebooks on it every night and using it for calls daily. Pretty impressed. Mine would have been a lot better too had I not spent last night...

    Quite high. Pint on the floor so I don't knock it off the bedside table...

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    It's just occurred to me how liberating it is having a waterproof phone. I was in bed earlier and it slipped off the bedside table. I had a moment of fear when I thought it might have dropped into my pint of water, then I remembered - no problem. [EDIT] Are you folks who aren't getting...

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    I've been using mine loads since yesterday and I'm really impressed with the battery life. I would have had to charge my S3 at least twice during that time if I was using it the same way. Currently on 26%. I like the magnetic charging port on the side - it's not very strong but that could just...

    You use it to plug a flash drive into your phone.

    I ordered last night from Clove and have received notification that it would be delivered tomorrow. Which is kinda why I ordered from Clove...

    Right. White one ordered from Clove... Hopefully they'll have enough to send mine out today! *excited*

    Is there a 32GB version coming? I thought I'd noticed it mentioned in some places but no mention of it on the Sony site...

    *** How to obtain a bike license ***

    Tried a quote for a CBF125 or YBR125? CG's are pretty cool too and probably the easiest to look after out of the lot! These three have less plastic to damage when you inevitably drop it. Not saying you're clumsy or anything, just getting used to the balance and weight is part of becoming...

    *** How to obtain a bike license ***

    The DSA list is here. Might be worthwhile starting it's own thread for recommendations tbh, though you're best off deciding which route you want to go, doing it, then deciding which bike as getting hung up on which bike won't help! I realise bike fantasising is fun though. :D

    *** How to obtain a bike license ***

    No, you can only ride up to a 125cc/11kW on CBT. CBT just validates your provisional motorcycle licence. Two options then: 1. Pass on your 125. You can only ride your 125 then, but you lose the L-plates, can ride on motorways and take a pillion. 2. Take lessons on a bike at least 395cc and...

    *** How to obtain a bike license ***

    At 24, will this still be power restricted for two years after you pass? Or have I misunderstood how it works? I'm 32 and thinking of waiting until Spring to start biking. I'm just wondering whether it's worthwhile actually buying a 125 or doing DAS straight away...

    Suggestions please!

    Having killed my netbook I'm back on my desktop (ca. 2003) which seems not to want to run any Ubuntu later than 8.04 :eek: Usage on the netbook was mainly web surfing, downloading and some web design (horrific on a 10" screen!). Desktop usage will also include some gaming (low spec like UrT...
