I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die. But one of my favorite quotes was from the late comedian [bleep]e Milligan. When asked what he thought of Chris Evans, he said "The best I can wish him is an early death, or leprosy."

This thread should be moved to Tech and Computers, also theres already a thread on it HERE. Please note that this browser hasn't been released yet and it's still in Beta, also note that it's open source so no it's not only for Vista, it will be for all platforms including Linux and Mac.

yes I know, I typed that very quickly and maybe I didn't state my views clearly. What I was trying to say is that it's highly likely that Chrome may be the start of the end of the browser standard war. It may finally "set" the standard! P.S. You can call me Clare.

Calvin and Hobbes "Snow Sharks" Hey honey, there's a pea on your head WHAT! Me as a Simpsons character What I send to any ejit who asks to see a pic of my wet [Kitty] <-- kitty isn't what they really ask for. Ohhh you should hear them cuss when they actually get the pic LMAO! And last but not least, this is actually me, photo shopped with evil eyes and a Doom backdrop, I had shorter hair then too. I used to use this as an avatar until I got bored of it. Whooo aint I sexy :D

There's another good point, I am guessing you currently don't have any form of backup? Question: What would happen if your current HDD died? Answer: You would loose the lot! Think about it for a second, everything on that PC, GONE FOREVER! Get an external USB hard drive not only to move the data, but for backup purposes. I have had too many students at our door crying their eyes out because their hard drive died and they had no form of backup. And they always said the same thing "I never thought it would happen to me." It's not worth the risk.

This looks like a very interesting and welcomed browser. Each tab is a separate process and that means it's almost impossible to get memory leaks like all current browsers still have (Oh yes they do!). Also the new Javascript engine sounds very interesting. plus the fact that Google have the Chrome Bot to trawl the web and test all them billions of web pages which will mean that Google Chrome should be less buggy than all previous browsers. I truly think this is a big deal. Why? How many people use Google? Just about everyone! You don't say search the internet anymore, you usually say Google for it, the term "to Google" has now become a verb, and I get the feeling this browser will become very popular as we already trust Google to give us a safe, fast and happy web experience. I for one will definitely support it as I think it's going to redefine a lot of web standards with a step in the right direction of bringing them all together. And as a web developer that's gotta be good. Now here's something to think about, almost since browsers existed there's been the Mozilla vs IE war, and suddenly from Google we are getting a totally independent browser, if (And that is if) this browser becomes popular, and eventually becomes the bog standard, then IE and Mozilla may have to follow suit. The war may finally be over which will be a happy day for everyone. I for one am sick to the teeth of the lack of web standards and having to write reams of code simply to get web pages to function and look correct in all the different browsers. I wish to god they could pull their finger out and simply agree on a single standard. It drives me crazy that CSS, Frames, Tables, Javascript (Need I go on) all have slightly different standards on different platforms, AAAAGH! I hope Google is my savior :)

Got up. Had a long bath with A million bubbles. Got a bowl of Sugar Puffs for breakfast and had a mug of coffee (I only drink coffee once a day). Painted my nails. Dried my hair. Got a lift into work (I normally walk). Solved a terminal services problem that the boss had been trying to get working for two days :). Setup a VNC session to a PC that's connected to a huge public display monitor. Updated one of my applications to reflect the fact that we don't supply mouse mats with new computers anymore. Went for a swim and then had a quick lunch. Rebuilt a raid array. Started off a Vista install on 2 PCs. Answered the phone about 20 times (Yawn). Arranged to get a bulb changed in a data projector. Met my boyfriend after work and we went for a swim. Walked home. Rinsed out my swimsuit and hung it up to dry ready for tomorrow. Made tea and we ate said tea. Watched Smallville and the news. Called a friend and had a long chat about a party I'm hosting next week. Went to bed! And that's the basics!

Tracking cookies do not slow anything down, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Get yourself a £1 UTP crossover cable, plug one PC directly into the other, share out your music folder on the new PC and copy all the files that way. But to be honest, I would remove the hard drive from the old machine then plug it into the new PC and copy the files, because it's quicker. But then again, I'm a professional and know exactly what I'm doing. so if you're a bit wary about removing hardware from your old PC, don't do it. If you zap the controller on your old hard drive you will likely loose all that lovely data.

I'm no Pam Anderson but I think I'm quite pretty, an average blonde I would say (That's me in my avatar), and I also swim a lot so I'm pretty fit too. As for my boyfriend, he's gorgeous and great company, but I would say that wouldn't I coz I love him

You don't have to upgrade your graphics card to be able to use two monitors, Matrox do two boxes called DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go, which takes one monitor output and splits it between two or three monitors respectively. The PC sees the box as a mega widescreen single monitor. The TripleHead2Go is excellent for gamers as the monitors sorta surround you. This is an excellent solution for people who don't want to upgrade their graphics card or have a laptop. Anyway, here's the links: DualHead2Go TripleHead2Go

Actually to be honest us girls don't just go for guys who look hot, if you're an idiot the Bye Bye! I prefer a nice personality over looks any day.

If you haven't got rid of it by the time I get to work on Monday, I will post a removal tool for you. There is another solution, but you may not be too happy at doing it. 1. Boot into Safe Mode. 2. Click Start, and type REGEDIT into the run box and press enter. 3. Press F3 and type McAffee into the search box and press enter, this will search for McAffee in the registry. 4. Delete all occurrences of Mcaffee you find, each time you delete one, press F3 again and it will automatically find the next occurrence. 5. Reboot the PC. 6. Navigate to this folder C:\Program Files and delete any McAffee folders you find. Please note that I hold no responsibility for you accidentally deleting important registry keys that can kill your windows, if you just remove McAffee then you should be fine. If you're a bit inexperienced with the registry, I would create a system restore point before doing anything with it.

I would write a virus that shuts down all their Zero Point Power modules and email it to them.

I have just been looking at MythTV and I might just give it a go on my PVR soon as I have a spare drive laying around that I can build it on :). Anyway, here's what in my present PVR: Motherboard: Not sure exact model, but it's a Via VT8751(A) Chipset. CPU: Celeron 2.4Hgz Mem: 1Gb DDR Audio: M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Graphics: Radeon 9250 (128mb) Freeview Card: Hauppauge HVR-1300 Analogue Capture Card: Hauppauge PVR150MCE The case is a stock case we had at work that is known for being very quiet, It's a mini tower and hides by the side of the TV, I have disconnected the LED for the hard drives and power as I don't want flashing lights when I am watching and recording or when the PC is in standby. GBPVR wakes the PC from standby to record programs :). The DVD Drive is behind a little flap that hides the LED from that too. I'm now dying to find out how MythTV compares to GBPVR!

I built my own PVR and decided to go with XP and GBPVR. Awesome software, free, lots of features, easy to use :) I have two capture cards atm, one is a Digital freeview card, and the other is an analogue capture card so I can record from inputs such as my SKY box. When I get home I will list the exact hardware that's in it if you like?

Actually women are physically weaker than men (Read my earlier post), but I think we are emotionally stronger. I definitely think we can win arguments better :D Again we're bringing equality up. Equality has nothing to do with hurting each other, it's to do with a persons rights in society, such as the right to vote, the right get get equal pay, etc. Do you realize that in the UK women on average get paid less for doing exactly the same job as the men? The trouble is the real issues regarding equality men haven't a clue about as it doesn't effect them. I do know a lot of men have problems with having a female boss, and that's something they just gotta get over. Back on topic now, is it wrong for a man to hit a woman? Now lets clear things up, people have stated No, not if she's coming at you with a knife or we're in a war situation (We do have female soldiers you know). But I don't think the original poster was referring to these situations, you get a lot of drunken violence in the evenings in clubs and pubs, and NO it's not ok to hit ANYONE, regardless if it's a girl or a guy. There is something nobody has mentioned yet that happened to my friend. Domestic violence. Her husband was using physical and emotional tactics to hurt her and keep her in check. She went from being a very out going, happy bubbly girl to a complete introvert. If she ever spoke up he would beat up on her, he kept calling her fat when in fact she was very skinny reducing her self esteem to nothing. it took her 2 years to admit to anyone this was going on and to get out of the relationship. Please don't say "She could have walked away anytime" because it's not like that. This is wrong, It's a classic case where a man could use his strength over a woman. I know it happens the other way around and that too is totally unacceptable, but it's more common that men are more violent, admit it, it's in your hormones! Talking of hormones, I brushed on that subject earlier. We don't realize how much they play in our everyday life! Men are fueled by Testosterone (Androgens), these are responsible for amongst other things, muscle mass, Libido and aggression. Men get a constant stream of these all the time, so you're used to it and can usually control yourselves. Women on the other hand do have testosterone produced in the body but only a fraction of that of men, if we didn't have any testosterone we would have no libido at all! But generally the estrogen keeps the testosterone in check, except for that annoying part in the month where estrogen levels drop causing an imbalance and our emotional levels go crazy. And no it's not just because we're a moody bunch, we simply can't help it :P. The other thing is, we get more horny when we drink alcohol, and that's because alcohol has a sort of dampening effect on our estrogen levels allowing testosterone to do it's stuff, that plus the general effect of alcohol is a crazy combination. Lets face it, you guys are better at dealing with testosterone than we are, and women are drinking to excess much more which may account for the rise in violent girls in pubs we're seeing these days.

I think you get the point of equality all wrong as over the years it's become forgotten what it's all about. Before the suffrajets, women were little more than slaves, tied to the sink and not even allowed to vote. I know if things were still the same I would not be in my current job. It has nothing to do with physical violence, so stop bringing up the equality thing. No way can you say it's OK to be able to use physical violence because we now have the same rights in life #-o

I think there's a lot more to it than you may think. Here's 2 points: 1. When I was growing up I remember seeing how the boys were always playing rough. I'm not saying I'm an angel as my sister and I lived in the country and we climbed trees etc, but we were not exactly involved with the fighting games the boys played, more to the point, it didn't interest us. 2. Boys also are full of testosterone, two effects of that is muscle mass and aggression, so on average a man is a LOT more powerful and agressive than a woman. Looking at the above 2 points you may see a picture forming, men are stronger than women and generally are better at hitting. There are always exceptions to the rule, there are women who are big and you wouldn't mess with (One of my best friend is like that). Also there are men who are complete wimps, but we're talking on average here. Here's something that once happened to me: I was in a pub with my friends and this scrawny little twit kept pestering me to have a dance with him. In the end I got really annoyed and told him to F**K OFF! Next thing I knew I was waking up in hospital, my face a mess and my mum crying by the side of the bed. I was taller than him but he still put me in hospital, and that's the point, men should never hit us, you guys grew up doing that kind of stuff and you have the physical strength to back it up. After that little incident I did Karate (Shotokan) for a few years but gave that up after grading my 3rd belt, I came out of the session shaking like a leaf as the guy grading us was a mentalist and knew I couldn't go through that again. Even though the rest of the team said I passed with flying colours.

I maintain and code computers at our University!

All adverts are incredibly effective, I heard that after you have seen an advert a few times it kinda gets into the back of your brain, and steers people towards certain brands of product lines. I know one woman who will never shop in places like Lidl because they don't stock all the expensive brands, when I have found Lidl's products to be fantastic and for a 10th of the price of the big brands. Go figure. It's even worse if you have kids as what they see on TV is what they want. The supermarket cheapo white boxed items will simply not do, even though in my opinion they are "usually" just as the same!

Can the mods lock this please, it's bound to end in a flame war.

It's also possible that the picture is on another server which is temporarily down!

I was in the air port the other day going "Buk Buk Buk Buk Buk" and the girl at the desk said "No miss, this is the check in desk". Did you hear about the guy who sat up all night wondering where the sun had gone? The next day it suddenly dawned on him! Q. What do you call a donkey with 3 legs? A. A wonkey! I walked into the bar the other day and fractured my skull, it was an iron bar! I had a dream the other night, I was eating giant marsh mallows :) When I woke up my pillow had gone :( Did you hear about the guy who couldn't tell the difference between porridge and putty? His windows fell out. Q. What do you call a Russian with a bad cold? A. Ivorbad Chestykoff Q. How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? A. Fish. Q. How do idiots practice safe sex? A. Handle bars around the bed! I asked my cat to make me me a cup of coffee yesterday, and she said "Meee, how?" Q. What do you call a gorilla with a machine gun? A. Sir. Q. What do you call a Scouser in a suit? A. The accused. "Did I tell you about my brother, the one with the big feet?" "No what happened to him?" "He got a job in Canada, stamping out forest fires!" Darth Vader was soo evil, he sprinkles itching powder on fleas, and he once forced Dolly Parton to play the accordion! This next joke is rather rude, and the punchline isn't obvious. Two guys talking in a bar: Fred: "How come you always look so healthy and tanned?" Jeff: "Well on the way home from work on weekends I stop off at my country club!" Fred: "Really?" Jeff: "Yeah, I'm a country member!" Fred: "Okay I'll remember." And here's the oldest terrible joke of all time: "My dog has no nose." "How does he smell?" "Terrible!"
