  1. Colour for any particular bits, or not important?
  2. You'll find they aren't all that bad That sort of "feature" request would more than likely sneak itself easily into an interim release without too much hassle (depends how stretched they are and if they are in a high-resistance period). If in doubt, flutter your eye lashes at em?
  3. lol, I'll dig out my scripting book a bit later if nobody has answered you by the time I get home
  4. Yeah, two formats. Plain text and HTML in a multi-part mail message. It seems as though they are saying that they are getting both rendered in the email client. This can either be a buggy out of spec email client, not interpreting the headers correctly - or the software spitting out the email is generating inappropriate boundary mark-up, so in stead of stopping at the correct spot, the email client carried on reading the plain text included with the blob of data that came through. This can also be down to mail servers molesting data on the way through essentially corrupting the expected boundary marker - blurring the edges of the data.

    New PC

    The 2Gig alone (not including the fact that it is higher spec/speed memory) will be a mahoosive improvement over the older spec. Are you sure that your graphics card will be ok to use with the new motherboard? If your chassis and/or PSU is old, you may want to consider getting a beefy new PSU (especially if you eventually want to stick a phat graphics card in there). I'm afraid you have stepped onto the slippery slope (much the same as Supra ownership lol). You may want to consider what you want from the machine at this stage and - maybe get a whole new PC after adding up cost and the specs
  6. Sounds like le mobo mort! One last shot in the dark is removing the floppy drive connections (just disconnect the cable from the motherboard and the power from the drive itself - I have had problems with FDD connectors (not being keyed or having inappropriate cheapo interfaces without a housing) being on the wrong way around and having the motherboard not fully power up to save itself from some damage. This really is a stab in the dark as you haven't mentioned having the machine apart before this problem occurred. You may have to bite the bullet and get a new motherboard - but that can be tricky and expensive depending. If your motherboard is well old (being 6months+ lol ), you may have problems locating a similar one. It sounds as though you have your data in-tact on your hard drive, which is good. You may want to consider getting that disk backed up quick-sharp, or at least stop sticking it in what appears to be a sick PC. If you can find a similar/same motherboard then you are on to a winner, as it will be a simple replacement no new memory or cpu etc., or even no re-install also there will be a good chance that Windows will not spit the dummy and claim your copy of Windows is not valid! (can't change too much hardware before it starts winging). A huge problem with switching in a similar yet not the same model motherboard is that the installed Windows may not be able to figure out what to do with your hard disk or other important chipset driver bits. If you know the model number / make of your motherboard. cpu type and memory type, maybe someone here can suggest where to get one, or your best alternative. Hopefully some other bright spark will interject with a more sensible option than an outright motherboard replacement. Sorry can't be of more help. If you were a bit closer I would come and have a look Cheers and Good Luck!

    Ah cool, I suspect they will not want to fook about with it to be honest, just worth a try because I simply don't know if it can be "bent" to your application Cheers.
  8. Experimenting with swapping in known good memory/gfx card may be the only recourse - could also be the PSU not giving the correct power to the mobo (i.e. shagged PSU that make all the right noises but isn't doing its job properly) - that is always a good one to catch you out.

    Well the ECU is exactly the same, it is just the way it plugs into the harness that is different.
  10. Do you get the POST screen - i.e. the crap that flies up the screen when you first switch it on? enumerates memory/cpu/hard disks. I wouldn't have jumped straight in with molesting the innards of the PC if it looks as though an update did this. I have had problems in the past with updates buggering up the power saving features on the motherboard. Removing the power cable from the PSU for 5 mins and re-plugging it fixes that (although I assume that you had the power out when you did the mobo frig ). If you are getting the POST screen coming up, then it is unlikely to be fried memory/gfx. You should try hammering f8 as it boots to get the boot menu up. If possible you should be able to choose from a menu option to boot from last known good configuration or even safe mode. My advice is probably as useful as a chocolate fire-guard at this point though

    TT I assume (just seen you have single d'oh)? I have the NA version for sale, and I doubt it will suit your purposes unless you know what to do with the harness (not for the feint of heart).
  12. I guess the ECU will look good on the mantle piece! About as much interest on flea bay too lol. Ah well - offers anyone?
  13. Hiya, these are sold and I am not sure Rob is checking his PM's at the moment
  14. Absolutely love the big cats. Wish I had the time space and money to take care of some snow leopards! As it is I don't have the time space and money to keep a frickin Supra
  15. Shameless bump, 2 more and I will throw myself on the merciless eBay community!
  16. Formulation and packaging are the only real difference with the shop brand and the name brand. You tend to find that shop brand gives you for example with the tablets, slightly chalky - dry pills to take. The named stuff tends to make the finish slightly more waxy and/or slippery/taste nicer (a large gobbet of water works just as well for me ). For some drugs, formulation makes a difference on how quickly the drug can be absorbed - but in the case of paracetamol, aspirin and ibuprofen, your average supermarket brand likely contains the same quantity of active ingredient that will absorb at a similar rate. Difference between 16p and £2.49 is shocking for similar drugs in similar quantities!! p.s. I would always check with your pharmacist (or doc) about the ability to mix and match pills For most people you can spread doses and interleave with other types of pain killer, just try not to do it too often if you are prone to asthma or tend to have a high alcohol intake (or have any form of stomach complaint of course)
  17. Paranoid: Low Schizoid: Low Schizotypal: Low Antisocial: Low Borderline: Low Histrionic: Low Narcissistic: Moderate Avoidant: Low Dependent: Low Obsessive-Compulsive: Low Yeah... roight!!
  18. Even more disturbing - the main website for the designers of the garish 1980's reject puke design: http://www.wolff-olins.com/ I would run a mile from that pretentious and tastless gash. Ugh.
  19. What an abortion of an effort... and for 400k ... no words >. http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/12539.html
  20. *cough* O'RLY!? Update at top. As always I can be flexible
