  • PS3 is a rubbish, over R&D'ed expensive piece of plastic garbage. £500 a pop? Jeeez!

  • There would be no need to keep or use the IP address, just deactivate iPods black listed whenever they're connected to iTunes on a computer with an internet connection. Simple, a deterrent (criminals will soon stop stealing iPods if they find out th…

  • Erm, getting TV shows via the web through BitTorrent and not paying for them is illegal, hence no useful replies... Sorry.
  • You can put your website on any hosting solution you desire. Just click publish to folder and upload that folder to your chosen web host. Hope that helps?
  • If there was some kind of disabling solution for whenever a stolen iPod identified via serial number was connected to the internet through iTunes I would support it, and it would perhaps have a good chance of making such a crime pointless. Sounds…

  • No wonder the Mars facility broke into pieces, it was made by Gateway!
  • Try upping the volume on VLC player, gets louder volume from speakers than any other media playing application I've used (up to 400% volume). Get it here Aside from that I don't know anything that will up the volume, you could try using Volume L…
  • No but now he makes an angry buzzing noise whenever I tilt him, think he still remembers the incident!
  • lundy I think that even applies now doesn't it? OS X's user interface is a lot faster on my dual 1Ghz G4 with a GeForce 4 Ti (128MB) compared to my 1.33Ghz Powerbook with Radeon 9700 Mobility (64MB). Is this due to dual processors, or the more memor…

  • Yep, not to mention I think it's safe to say the 3Ghz P4 would get beaten by an 1.83Ghz Core Duo in most things, and obviously in multithreaded applications. Very poor effort by Gateway. Never thought I'd say an iMac was a bargain compared to sim…
  • Oh damn, it looks like attack of the 80s or something.
  • I move my Powerbook when it's on sleep, so yeh it's perfectly fine. I've even dropped it a few times whilst its been on sleep, so yeh, its pretty resilient.
  • MiMac, as it happens, the X1600 does a fair job, I don't call playing BF2 at max an easy feat. You can't expect a £800 iMac to come with a £300 card (X1800 upwards). I'm afraid you sir, are living in a fantasy world.
  • The X1600 is a good card. All what I'd like to see would be the X1600XT or possibly an X1800XL option, but it doesn't need anymore power than that. Considering the MacBook Pro can play BattleField 2 at high settings with AA enabled at a high enough …
  • Gon, I have no problem with SC, I actually quite enjoyed the game, but on sheer technicality TA is better. It would take too much time to type the differences, but I can do more of what I want to do tactics and strategy wise in TA than I could ever …
  • Say what you want, I really don't care, it's typical for you SC supporters to rant and rant until you're dead even against purely objective facts as though they are wrong because you can't stand the fact that your game is archaic compared to TA. Whi…
