What an absolute crock of shit been trying to get on that green man gaming all day and the furthest I have got is putting ArmaII in my basket which has taken ages btw as I keep getting 504 bad gateway and then I finally get bthere and can't get through to checkout, fu*kkikkkkkkk

InnocentCriminal · Jul 9, 2011, 05:36 PM

ArmA II multiplayer is free to play anyway. The SP campaigns aren't really worth playing tbh. It's a crack sim if you get a load of mates playing with you.

Should be like £8 or thereabout for each one to ship using a collect and deliver courier.

Just been out and bought the new Liverpool Away shirt and i have to say its a smart looking footy shirt. Similar size to my Scotland shirt which is great (size large). Its roastin' here in Glasgow but apparently its raining in Inverness and the golf was postponed.

Contemplated getting Arma II but fuck it if the servers are overloaded.

Try changing the adapter settings on your wi-fi card, maybe it's stuck on b and needs g or whatever. I used to mess about with mine all the time, changing settings and that to get new networks. Nothing to do with how far away they are, just what settings they're using

No signal = too far away from AP or somethings blocking the AP (too many walls or big buildings in the way)

I have a Edimax EW-7318USg with a 10dBi antenna attached instead of the standard 4dBi attached to the top of a 7ft metal pole for for better signal and
still nothing. they must have done something to the AP or someones got a house full of microwaves that are on constantly and causing interfering with the signal.

I used to be able to pick up BT Openzone AP perfectly last year.

I even tried to switch to another 10dBi back up antenna i had and still no joy.

no idea what changed

scaminatrix · Jul 9, 2011, 06:50 PM

Aw man, well keep checking, all you need is someone to get BT near you and you'll be sorted.

On another note, rip off much?

for that money the hardware is just woeful.

I think it could be more a case of geography then anything else. maybe its a rural area and they are the only people for miles that sell computer gear. who knows.

Dell however has much better offers and the tech is more more uptodate

MightyMission · Jul 9, 2011, 07:42 PM

its got a floppy drive

2011,nearly all mobo's are getting rid of legacy as much as poss,other than OC boards needing a ps2 for k/board..

i had to fix 2 PC's that didn't have ps/2 yesterday, i only had 1 usb keyboard...

EDIT: We need more musical genres' named like this --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerviolence

LifeOnMars · Jul 9, 2011, 08:14 PM

Anyone know if I can add Arma II to my steam?. I've finally got a key but looks like I may have to download "Capsule" in order to play it as it doesn't seem to be recognised on Steam as a valid key?

cheesy999 · Jul 9, 2011, 10:26 PM

Your going need to use capsule

Isn't it interesting how tech always brakes right before you really need it?

KieranD · Jul 9, 2011, 10:52 PM

I find it funny how ps/2 is superior to USB for using keyboards since you only get full n key rollover on a ps/2 connection.

Just watching T in the Park, my sister went again this year. Just not my thing to crowded for me.

cheesy999 · Jul 10, 2011, 12:14 AM

And 'the girl who leapt through time' is now my official best movie of all time, if I had to watch just one movie in my life, it would be that movie

Does anyone know what the music from it Is called so i can buy it

KieranD · Jul 10, 2011, 01:41 AM

Here your best asking anime questions in the anime club. Im not being rude its just you will have your questions answered better over there.

LOL first comment i read when looking up "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" was "this is one of the only anime that has a good english dub".

cheesy999 · Jul 10, 2011, 12:24 PM

its a core i laptop, i know that windows 7 is faster but it doesn't bring many new features and its about £100

If i could get the full install for ~£50 i would do it but at the moment its double the price and i just can't justify that when the money could be spent on an SSD or a better GFX card

FreedomEclipse · Jul 10, 2011, 01:45 PM

Its a retweaked vista under the hood more or less.

check with some of the tech guys where you are doing work experience. see if they are willing to order you a copy of W7 though the company so you dont have to pay VAT.

they could just tell you to piss off or they could do it for you. as you will be there 2-4weeks with no pay. I had to pay for my own lunch and travel expenses traveling from my house into liverpool street every morning. I heard some of my other friends got paid for their work experience. but youre not supposed to.

youre there to learn but shit costs money dawg.

MightyMission · Jul 10, 2011, 01:54 PM

also if you are a student or have kids in the house,win 7 ultimate 64 is only £55 +/-
for what its worth i used vista for ages and although its got some nice window dressing,i found it to be far inferior to win7,and one helluva memory hog too.

aren't we due a sync'd avvie change?

WhiteLotus · Jul 10, 2011, 02:01 PM

So far i've only found upgrade copies of the education version (or whatever they call them)

they've got upgrades here --> http://www.software4students.co.uk/W...m_medium=email for £40

Yes, but unfortunately i have very little money at the moment

Overall the problem is not getting a cheap copy but getting a cheap copy that's NOT upgrade

Millennium · Jul 10, 2011, 02:26 PM

I bet vista with 8gb would be faster multitasking then windows 7 with 4gb. I say spend your money on memory if you need it and ABSOLUTELY an ssd if you dont have one. Great upgrade. Better then the memory.

My 2600k import fell through now I'm thinking of getting a 2600k + video card maybe

Can get a 2500k for £130 on ebay... but why not spend the extra £50 now and get a kick ass top end CPU right? right?

I am just gonna see how much CPU i can get a game to use on my current setup
