    Sad Sad Sad

    Maybe those people are going to "virtually" rent them out? And maybe the people who rent virtual business units will move in and manufacture virtual goods for sale virtually. It goes on forever, so let's call them *all* sad
  3. Well 9am is a bit early for me Seriously though, I hate it when ITV split films across the news. It's bad enough having ad breaks every 20 minutes, without putting up with half an hour of news just before the film finishes!
  4. Haven't tried it myself but give this a go: http://www.anonymization.net
  5. eeuughhhh. I'd have the interior of my 1980's luxury powerboat in those colours. errr...if I had one
  6. If you massively retard your timing, then the exhaust valve will open before the spark, and the unburnt air-fuel mixture will reach the exhaust. Cue big flames This is what anti-lag systems do. When the throttle is lifted, the timing is retarded and extra air is added. The air fuel mixture hits the hot exhaust and the explosion keeps the turbo spooled up.
  7. Not sure you already meant this in your description, but at 100% duty, the injector would be open *all* the time, not just for the window available for the intake stroke.
  8. The only time I tried snowboarding I bent my thumbnail back halfway and that put me off a bit I definitely want to get the hang of it. Might book a lesson or two in January. Where's Tignes?
  9. I'd take that programme as seriously as any of the tat on men & motors. 100 most "popular" cars. That's meaningless. It might as well be "100 random cars you've heard of".
  10. Yeah, I hate cars like that http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~jamesg/albums/supra/IMG_2999.sized.jpg
  11. I'm not really set up for recording stuff off the telly, so i beamed it upstairs with a microwave video sender, then captured it with an el-cheapo USB thing with a composite video input that couldn't manage 25fps. That's why it looks so bad
  12. I've uploaded a video of it here: (right click...save as...) http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~jamesg/misc/supra100.mpg That Brendan Coogan is a twat, but I don't reckon anyone cares what he thinks considering all the crap he spouted about the other cars as well.
  13. This is totally awesome: http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en It's Google, but it auto-completes as you're typing.
  14. And in Cambridge, a couple more red ones with the same reg...including mine
  15. It was slow at JAE as it was just a shell!
  16. or he might live on the streets
  17. Disqualified!!! That's not a real tree. It's just a bunch of lights hanging in midair.
  18. Ha, I've got the biggest xmas tree of all of you! also got caroline the receptionist to stand next to it for scale and she's freakishly tall http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~jamesg/misc/tree.jpg
  19. No, you have to take responsibility for your own actions when you drive. If you spun on mud, it was your own fault for going too fast and not noticing the change in road conditions.
  20. I certainly find this with my TT. In damp conditions I can get wheelspin easily up to and beyond motorway speeds. In my opinion, it's one of the best things about the supra that you have to be constantly aware of the power you're applying, the road conditions and road surface.
  21. There's 4 of me, so I'm "rare as a wombats wingnut"
  22. There's one here: http://www.handyarchive.com/Utilities/Password-Recovery/6737-RAR-Password-Recovery.html but it's shareware, so I don't know what features are missing.
  23. When I fill my car up after the fuel light turns on (not very often), it takes about 60 litres. So you have about 10 litres left in the tank. That's about 40 miles worth.
  24. It's just a response to a request for a page that doesn't exist. http://www.bbc.co.uk/suprazruleok Don't know if some firewalls might return the same response if blocking a page.
  25. I have a random Cream CD from 1997 I play all the time too! That and Ministry of Sound - The Annual III from the same time. Top tunes
