If you can't get the HDD out into another machine for deleting trojans etc, then your weapons for today will be Unlocker and Hijackthis

If you're not IT literate enough to know what's good and what's bad, e.g. interpreting the output of Hijackthis, then there are loads of forums where people will have you run 300 different "fix everything bad" programs/scripts and tell you when you've got there.

Try quickly running "shutdown /a" before the system shuts down, then try to fix the problem the usual ways.

"shutdown /a" will abort a shutdown initiated by lsass being killed.

How are you connected to t'interweb?

I had a problem when I got my MOT done. They put one the MOT that the car had done 132K miles and not KM's. Went back the following day and they gave me a new certificate. Always check the paperwork when it's issued.......

 

H.

I think you've hit the nail on the head: 123,000 kilometers = 76,428 miles

Is the car a grey import displaying KMs?

I'm a bit confused - the part fuel and water temp gauge - whats the difference from oem other than it has numbers on the water gauge - is it a TRD part? If so I want one - where;)

 

All oem steering wheels are rotten, the TRD is nice, but too big, and not as modern looking as it could have been, nice try on this mod altough I'm not too keen on all the chamoi leather:p

I have no idea. I think the needles are a slightly lighter shade or something

Sometimes I am just utterly gobsmacked.

I thought I would be inundated with PMs asking to buy the same for £150.

You guys will pay £125 for this:

but not £150 for a smart modernising steering wheel!

I suppose this makes up for the two drinks spilled Thinkpads that I've dismantled, cleaned up & then returned on behalf of customers as "stopped working for some reason".

I take it all back.

IBM/Lenovo won't send me a replacement hinge for my in-warranty T43p which has become a bit wobbly. It comes under "cosmetic damage" for some reason.

Guess how much the labour is for them to replace the hinge? £193

I have no idea how much the hinge itself would have been. All that's wrong is that it's become a bit wobbly, and when I tried to tighten the screw I discovered the thread's gone inside the hinge.

Found one on eBay for six quid anyway, but £200 labour to swap the hinge? Fck me. No wonder I'm not rich yet. I'd have charged £40-ish to a customer.

This is the big put off with Thinkpads. Parts costs. I don't even know how much but I'm guessing the hinge would have been £60 if I could have got it. Against probably £8 on an Acer.

ACME Solar Stuff

Thermal Initiatives Ltd?

Interesting

I was just remembering the other day how my friend at school called our non-starter band "Catapults & Pansies"

In reality, we would probably go for "Him & Me Ltd trading as Solar Developments" or something.

If you register it and they haven't then that's fine, sounds like it is suitable for your line of upcoming business so there is no case for Cyber Squatting or whatever it is these big American lawyers come up with etc. (plus we aint in America ) More than likely these guys wont even notice you Amigo.

Sounds fair enough to me

Only problem is we wouldn't be able to call the company "Solar Developments". Ah well

Solar heating is clever too. I was surprised how hot the shower was in Turkey.

I believe Cambridge Uni have implemented solar water heating in some place they call "Clare".

Are you doing some "Green" products by any chance? A solar powered 9 second Supra sounds nice... oh wait, wrong thread, thats the "if money was no object thread..."

LOL, not exactly. I have a friend whose business is involved around housing & apartment developments, and he's interested in a solar powered future, and I am too, so I thought I'd get in there early with the domain.

Once better & cheaper photovoltaics are available, I can see it being a big thing, and would happily invest money becoming a certified installer or system designer or something like that if my friend decides he wants to pursue it as a business and have a partner/investor.

Sod it. I just registered it anyway.

It's solardevelopments.co.uk

I suspect the company "Solar Developments Ltd" are a housing development company who just wanted a sunny sounding name.

It's just occurred to me that the company might have nothing to do with the field my website/domain will be involved in. I thought the companies house "Nature of business" was wrong, but it makes sense now that I think about it.

I want to register a domain name. A companies house search shows that a company has been registered with the same name.

Am I likely to become stuck? It's something like "SupraDevelopments.co.uk", and there's a company called Supra Developments Ltd, except it has nothing to do with Supras.

It only seems to be an issue when you have an expensive platinum contract with them, when I've called up as an end user on my home stuff it's been fine.

Lol

31 minutes doesn't sound too harsh, try logging things with IBM, then you'll be irrate.

Ah, you've reminded me! I need to order a part for my Thinkpad.

Lenovo & prior to that IBM warranty have always been great for me on the phone, but this is hardware only. Maybe it's Anovo who I'm ringing up, I dunno.

Wow, that's an awesome car in every way, except maybe smaller turbo would be more fun, but seriously that's awesome, so nice inside & out as well.

Media Centre, job's a goodun That is what I'm doing with my HP 21" TFT... Cheaper than a telly and a lot more flexible.

Yeah, it's crazy how low-res TVs are dearer than high res computer monitors!

I'll have a think, but for now my thoughts are that I might use it as a TV in the bedroom.

£80

I am surprised they've only been fetching that sort of money on eBay, although a few of what I can see on there are sold as "bit scratched on the back" etc.

I don't know if it's worth selling for that sort of money. It's such a good screen.

I paid £420 + vat (or was it incl VAT? can't remember) for this screen about 2yrs ago.

It's a high end monitor. Has Composite, S-Video, DVI, VGA, Split-Screen & Picture-in-Picture, and an inbuilt USB hub.

A very high quality screen with a very high quality height adjustable and portrait/landscape rotatable stand. It's far better than any of the cheap priced 20-22" screens out there at the moment with their poxy wobbly stands and limited inputs nevermind lower image quality.

Would anybody be interested in giving reasonable money for this? I have just had a quote through to throw a 27" Ultrasharp on top of a system I'm ordering, and am tempted..

Take that GT-R "race" did you learn anything about the car? Or just that they are a bunch of useless tossers in a foriegn country....

I agree, it was a completely pointless show. I'm glad they ran it around the track so soon after though. That pointless episode kind of kept the idea fresh in my mind.. how fast will it be. If they'd have waited 'til ages through the series to test the car round the track it probably wouldn't have had the same effect.

I quite like the star in a reasonably priced car. I like it when they do well like the tall chap did. I felt a bit sorry for Theo

I suppose in theory the replicator could exist in real life. It would use up some kind of matter as fuel, but it might be possible one day!
