  1. lol @ gz jon

     

    Cheers Carlos - thats the one I have used.

     

    Being a complete novice I have discovered now that I turn my Zone Alarm fire wall on the laptop with the PC card stops working on the net

     

    Any suggestions? :(

     

    There's probably an option to add the local network, which may be 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x to a 'trusted' zone.

     

    But basically, it sounds as though you are firewalling yourself off where you shouldn't be.

     

    I don't use personal firewall software, and think you'd be much better off removing ZA and just enabling XP's firewall.

  2. MAC address filtering alone is completely useless as a security measure. It acts only as an inconvenience, not any kind of security. Using something like Airsnort or Sniffer Wireless one could capture the (unencrypted) packets, take note of the workstations MAC, and then set their own machine to use that MAC address..

     

    WEP is a pain because you have to use either 5 or 13 character passphrases, and many routers only let you enter the key in hexadecimal.

     

    WPA or WPA2 PSK (pre-shared key / shared key / shared passphrase / personal) is the one to go for, but windows machine need either to be XP SP2, or have some kind of wireless card configuration utility loaded to connect properly.

  3. 24 extra MPG on a car that does about 24MPG. Wait until Ford and GM hear about this. They'll be kicking themselves and no mistake.

     

    And OPEC.

     

    How the fu*k did I miss that one!

    I'm assuming he must mean 'miles per tank' or 'miles per fillup'.

    Actually, he says "At half tank I have 24 more MPG". He must mean he's getting 24 more miles when he's half-full (half empty?)

  4. If that's the case they're probably cheap Taiwanese made wheels, that have been badged as WM, not usually the best of quality in most cases.

     

    I think at £599 for 2x 19" x 9.5" & 2x 19" x 8.5" , we've probably established that they're not very good quality at all ;)

  5. This one I know it works, because I've tried it time and again.

     

    Promises less, and delivers.

     

    Nothing else I've found to work, not even remotely.

    Affinity for placebo.

    You don't have permission to access /max-boost/internet_articles/Chevron Lubricants - Automotive - Fuel Additives.htm on this server.

     

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    :(
  6. When I click on a thumbnail in a members garage, the popup always attempts to resize itself, and does a piss poor job?

     

    Is this a firefox only problem? Or something to do with me having my dispay set to 120dpi?

     

    Here's how it looks:

  7. Australasia's :)

     

    Click here

     

    you sure that's not Australia?

     

    You're gonna tell me now that Australasia is another name for the same place. Geography isn't in me :)

     

    edit: fancy that:

    Australasia is a term variably used to describe a region of Oceania – namely Australia, New Zealand, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean.
