Roco

overclocking , for me if stock ain't good enought , why waste $$$$ on super cooling etc , when a new puter or upgrade is called for ? anyway 6 months down the line we are all out of date anyway ,IMHO ,

my dreams of the 28th Sept are fading , 70 to go @ 22.49 BST ,28th Sept. take it from me Bro , Whipped cream goes rancid after about one hour , with body heat , but strawberry jelly is good for 3,on the nips ( so I have been told ) the usuall disclaimer applies

Sorry bro, I cant help with the tech , but I think you need an assistant , my only reference is from my school woodwork teacher , he said "Roco as far as carpentry goes , "I can recommend you to a matchstick maker"

Grandpa your quote " and sometimes clueless " makes me feel better , indeed in some computing areas I am totally clueless, so OK I try to help folk in the UK , I just been trying for 3 days to get a freebie friend on line with broad band with sky ADSl , her line is enabled for adsl after a 3 week wait , but no joy , I finally get onto Sky help desk , finally get to Tech level , after pages of scripted talk , we do all the tests , all work out OK , ( various tone Sig's down the phone line etc, zilch , she lives in a company apartment , and my first question was you do have your own phone line "yes " no she doesn't she has a company "dial 9" for a line connection , DUH , any one got the answer for this , OK 56K dial up would not be a problem , as I can add the "9 " but for allways on broad band ????????, I told her to contact the company Tech guy , his reply is "I don't know " Oh lol, "where angels fear to tread" springs to mind here , Yours sincerely Clueless UK

thanks for clearing that up for me FallowEarth, it works ok for me , as USB 2 is not activated in the BIOS , and USB is not recognized in pre boot in older puters , although you will need sound drivers and Vid adapters from the makers , also a laptop hard drive to desktop adaptor , cheap enough anyway,

yeah ,OK my browser "maxthon " took care of the pop ups , it makes a drum sound on popups, it sounded like "drumming up storm " so can anybody trust me with a USA Zip code ?( P.M) as I would like to vote on your next Pres. I would be happy to swap my UK Post code in exchange . BTW, 52% of UK voters(female ) would vote for Bill Clinton ) James Carter came 2nd , but a very close blow by blow decision in the UK

how many pop ups can one site generate ? and can somebody lend me a zip code ? next to my Levi jeans zip it says 516 on the tab ,but that don't seem to work !!!

Atlantic time Hmmmm. such a small particle of world Time ,........ so what's up with GMT (Greenwich Mean time,) it was good enough for Christopher Columbus , .and us Brits have to have something to cling on too we got F*** all else ,

from your very humble wrecking crew member , Bro .Roco , back on topic .159 to go , as of 19.40 , 26 Sept.07 GMT world time , Aghh, I feel the Gothic blood rising , maybe Bram Stocker will sign up ........ BTW, has TMN got any spare virgins ? , ( femail prefered , but I ain't so fussy these days)

my first computer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_32 bought at a car boot for $ 10 =

thanks dn0, wow one hell of a lucky guy , I found a link on that page to some video ,

no ,but the fuel cost and hotel is @$9.00 a gallon Mmmm. 64 Euros ? whatever they are is

modest fee maybe , but the cost to the average Brit would be 3 weeks wages , we have to make our own fun in our own back yard his mistake was , not using a motorway at night 2-3 Am ,and not doing a recce run first ,+not waiting for all traffic to clear, then going for it , you meet some interesting folk and cars at that time of night :evil6:known as the testers hour

Holly shit indeed Voltageman , CNN news must be regional ,I still get the UK version from dno's link and USA news wont open , I get a time out on that but I have found this http://edition.cnn.com/video/, I tried a google search and found this one http://www.englishrussia.com/?p=1131,

LOL my speed finally settled at 1.9 Mbps the original high speeds was due to line adaptive rates ? (best reliable speed obtainable ) on my phone line , this was the same speed as I obtained from a BT engineer line test ,so came as no great suprise , now moving on to 2007 , ADSL+2 is rolling out in the UK , my Exchange is now ready , but my ISP -Pipex has been taken over by Tiscali .com rated 49 th out of 50 for reliability and service , my contract (1 year is up ) so I can move on free of charge , so is it that easy ?, my email addresses will change, I use one for business so that could be a loss of income , folks have know me as Trader-xxxx for 5 years ,for me reliability, cost , and finally way back in the priorities speed , are the important factors , + I use a laptop on 56K dial up for my Biz account , as I can plug it in any phone jack and get my mail , the UK's big problem is the past it's sell by phone line system , my phone line is 60+ years old , and the exchange is 3 miles away so using ADSL is never going to be fast for me , and the same for a lot of other UK folk , the bad thing is the advertising of 8Mb service is in the small print " up to 8Mb " if any UK member needs to learn more ,have a look on http://www.dslzoneuk.net/ it explains more about our "unique adsl system " , BT=British Telecommunications who own all the phone line systems in the UK , so for ADSL no mater who your ISP is, they rent the line from BT ,

Hi Tdawnaz , this is England e , blazing fast average connection speed is 2.7 Mbps, member Just, must have sold his soul to the devil, he gets about 10Mbps the rest of us remove our hats when passing his house world time ? I like it the way it is , I go to work and get back home just as you are leaving for work , and I get the world news 8 hours b4 you , being serious for a change , my email notifications are taking about 10 mins , is this normal ? ok a speed test from me , on a 8Mb max connection :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 1892 Kbps about 1.89 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 231 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 217 Kbps about 0.2 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Upload Speed is:: 26 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Main) Test Time:: 2007/09/24 - 10:08am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-831X7TWL5 U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-J3XS6YE0Q User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Maxthon) [!] this is about normal for me , and about 8% slower than I get within the UK , Reso... has posted a topic about the uk's broadband http://www.testmy.net/t-20998 Btw , we do all things slower in the UK So only 240 new members to go

the stats are showing 287 for me in UK ?, and it's 17.39 -24th Sept , lol this alternative time zone sucks

Jail for 172mph Porsche motorist Timothy Brady was disqualified from driving with immediate effect The fastest driver ever caught in a routine speed check in the UK has been sentenced to 10 weeks in jail. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/oxfordshire/7009923.stm his only mistake was getting caught IMHO , he should have checked the road out first , a thing you have to do in the UK with so many speed cameras and radar about , edit for latest news,The bikers are fighting back , The footage appeared on the LiveLeak website under the title "176 MPH MotorBike Rider" with the caption, "A Yorkshire lad out for a spin opens her up slightly ". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7010843.stm the police havn't caught him

anyone else having trouble with dn0 's link ? I get the Brit Blue tongue disease story , and the only flying it that, is done by midges ,

, Ok sorry on that, I thought you were loading a fresh copy of the O/S so I gues I cant help you there ,

I am still not clear on the " It goes to the desktop" is this with the hard drive removed and fitted as the only drive in the desktop computer ? it should the run OK on the desk top computer , after removing the hard drive and fitting it back into the laptop it should be OK , but you may need the sound drivers and Vid. adapter drivers from dell , what O/S are you loading , ?

wayantm can you explain "I can get the laptop on the desktop ) by network ? I have no experience of that anyway I just take out the hard drive, and put it in a spare desktop , I get about 10 a year to remove the O/S, normally Win 2000 , sometimes XP pro , the last batch was Dell lattitude Cpi 750 's they run well on Win 2000 , and run Xp but a bit slow ,
