  1. 38 minutes ago from the time of this post. Good spot.
  2. Sorry to hear this Sam, hope you get it sorted and glad you can still have fun with GRID.
  3. That will be a great little machine, keep the photos coming.
  4. Happy Birthday, have a great day.
  5. I have seen all the mac ads, they are funny. Good to see the gaming rebuttal.
  6. It looks like the c: drive has thrown a wobbly. I have a spare virgin 500gb drive, but I left my copy of XP in Switzerland. If I had it here I could have sorted it out yesterday. Now I am toast. Just sorting out the back up for GTR2.
  7. Not sure what the story is but it keeps locking up. Should be able to sort out GTR2 for tomorrow on back up pc but no codding until next week as I have visitors and wont be able to spend time resolving the issue. Sorry guys an' gals.
  8. I bought a discovery channel cdrom years ago called Sky at night. I have used it ever since. I have seen the rings of Saturn (using a friends 500x telescope) and can often see Jupiter. I resist buying a telescope as mostly you can only see 4 planets and the stars (which only look sharper magnified). But when I see something unusual I check my trusty sky at night, put in my position, my field of view and the time, then bobs your uncle I find the celestial body i was looking at. One night I was looking through my binoculars when I spied a blob, the blob was way bigger than a star but seemed dull. It seemed blurry and out of focus, I checked out my Sky at night and it was another galaxy, Andromeda. The thought that I was looking at another galaxy which even Star Trek never went to was quite awe inspiring. The nearest star to us is Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years or 24,817 billion miles away. That means our fast spaceship would take roughly 118,000 years, give ot take a century. These are big numbers Andromeda is the nearest Galaxy It is 2 million light years away or 18,908,509,914 billion miles away It would take our fastest space ship (which by the way I think was the Saturn 5) 56.2 billion years to get there (give or take a few thousand millenia) All of these numbers are meaningless since they are so huge. More interesting is that when I was looking at Andromeda I was actually looking back 2 million years and seeing what it looked like then. Fascinating
  9. I watched a video of how this concept my works by zerofossilfuel. Using electrolysis to make Hydrogen and Oxygen is apparently 80% efficient. The argument was that since an Internal combustion engine is about 18% efficient the global efficiency of the two running together is better than the efficiency of the engine alone. This does seem logical.
  10. Higher processing speed of the cores and I think most games dont actually use multiple cores.
  11. for gaming the e6850 is probably better than the q6600
  12. Looks good. Why only a 160gb hard drive. Not sure about ddr3 benefits at this time.
  13. Customer Reviews for Sonic Boom Alarm Clock "....... I can't always hear the alarm but the vibrator more than makes up for it. ..... John, Worcester" LOL
  14. I think you forgot to wake up, :lol: :lol: :lol:lol .
  15. I am looking forward to getting your impression on the results. Apart from struggling to accept that it can work when I read through publicity of this site and watched the 3rd video entitled latest news from CES 2008. This is the blurb "At the 2008 CES (Consumer Electronics show) in Las Vegas, there was a new water-powered device for charging laptops and other electronic devices! We are excited to see the power of water finally being used to its potential! The big oil companies have tried to stop the power of water from being used in the automotive industry, but they can't keep everyone's lips sealed!" At this point the concept lost complete credibility for me the cartridge is activated by water but its not the water that releases the hydrogen. This is what I found on wikipedia "........ the fuel is sodium borohydride, a high energy compound that releases hydrogen upon contact with water: NaBH4 + 4 H2O → NaB(OH)4 + 2 H2 ............ A number of chemical compounds combine with water to release hydrogen, but in all cases the energy required to produce such compounds exceeds the energy obtained upon their combustion." As I said at the begining of this thread I want to believe in these processes as I want the world to be freed from the geopolitical environment in which we are currently embroiled. This does not mean that you may not improve your gas mileage through this system and if you do I say good luck to you. Knowing you I can imagine that you will properly document the transition and and its effects. Do they recomend altering the timing (can you get preignition using hydrogen) can you even alter the timing of a modern fuel injected car. Does the system produce the gases from the battery or the alternator (ie process stops when engine stops). By adding pure oxygen and hydrogen to the fuel mix I would expect the combustion to be much hotter (particularly form the injection of the oxygen). Is there a risk to the engine from the potential hotter burn. Is the warranty affected. If this works for you I'll definately look into it. Good luck
  16. No alarm instawake 05:55 (the flipside of instawake is instasleep) Coffee, toast, gruyere cheese Fruit and veg drink Read forums Contemplate doing something healthy Gorgeous day.
  17. Thanks Medic. Luckily (and boringly) I have 8/12 day training on for my 2 characters
  18. Well some of us have Race07 already, so I may get the expansion pack.
  19. Eve is meant to go into extended downtime this morning at 11:00 gmt but it is down for me already. Is anyone connected
