There's nothing wrong with TFTs, they're much more practical.

Try go for an LG television. They have their own factorys making their own parts, so their TVs are a lot cheaper. Ones like Sony etc buy the parts (chips and stuff) from LG, so obviously they have to make a profit from that, so their TVs are more expensive, despite being the same as the LG ones.

Moved.

I don't think you understood that this image: was posted as a joke, he wasn't looking for advice on it.

All you need to do is just check everything before you go rushing in and enter your details/download things. Most hacking/stealing info problems can probably be prevented just by being a bit more cautious.

Thanks very much for all of your help! I probably don't need to overclock it, I should concentrate on improving the other parts of my pc such as the video card. I'd like to overclock in the future though, probably to something like 3.2GHz. Thanks again. :

Here's my speedfan readout: Does that look relatively normal?

Yes my pc is prebuilt, got it about 2 years ago. What's the optimum practical temperature I should aim for, and what's the maximum? My CPU is actually a 2.8GHz, my mistake. :)

I was wondering, could I get away with overclocking my cpu, without improving any other hardware such as fans etc? I'm not talking much, but would it be possible to overclock by a small amount without causing any damage to my system? Is it even worth it? Also, how does one overclock? I know more or less nothing about the actual process of overclocking. I always had this image in my head of opening up the case and getting one of those 6ft monkey wrenches like they use in off-shore oil rigs to turn the cogs up. :lol: Would a new case fan be of any use, they're very cheap from what I've seen, would it make a difference, temperature-wise? I'm not sure what pc info is needed, so just ask and I'll try get it. Here's some basic info: CPU: 2.8GHz Intel Pentium D Vista Home Premium 2GB DDR2 RAM Integrated Intel graphics chipset roughly 300w PSU (I think, give or take) Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: 02/12/2008 UPDATE I've recently got a PM from a user about a fake clan who have stolen their account. The clan is called 'wildguard'. The url is already filtered here, but be wary nonetheless. DO NOT ENTER ANY INFORMATION THERE On their 'Join Us' page, they have a false link to the official forums, where you are required to enter your RuneScape account details. DO NOT ENTER YOUR DETAILS THERE, IT WILL STEAL YOUR PASSWORD!

Have you tried reinstalling Safari?

What? Copyright infringement is a serious issue, people face jailtime and fines for it. There is no stereotype of tech savvy people being cautious about copyright, because it affects everyone, and it's surprisingly easy to do on a computer, sometimes without realising it. That's why we need to be aware.

Something like MasterChef, that way if I win I know that I've at least got some form of talent, unlike 99% of the usual reality show winners.

Popups would probably make me leave, they're the bane of anyone who's ever used the internet.

I'm not sure how podcasts work, but try right clicking it and selecting 'info' if there is such an option. The artist information might be there but not on the itunes page.

Well that makes me think of the theme music from American Beauty, but I don't think that's it. :?

This man speaks the truth. It looks ok, but like DH said it's very generic for a vector style signature.

You can't do transparency on Paint. Try downloading GIMP, it's free and is similar to expensive programs like Photoshop. http://www.gimp.org Also, just because the background is transparent it doesn't mean the size of the image will be what you can see, the canvas is still the same size and the image will take up the same amount of room. I only say that because of all the white space you've got on the picture you posted. Taking off the stuff you don't need is called 'cropping'.

What instrument is it played with?

It's not that different, it's still bitmap. Like other people have said, it looks like you were joking. You need to put effort into your work, spend more than 5 minutes on it. C&H is awesome.

No idea what the song is, but it made me laugh.

If you can't draw then you need to make your comic funny by using words, like Cyanide&Happiness.

If you ban me I'll be really mean and replace your signature with a picture of Celine Dion. :notalk:

Locked his post, now he can't remove the evidence. :twss:

A pixel doesn't have to be made only in Paint. A pixel doesn't use filters or any of the tools associated with more powerful programs. If you haven't used any effects then it's still considered pixel art.
