Re: So that's why.

Because it is more reliable and less leaky than BT emails

Because it is free with my hosting

Because I rarely get issues with it

Google ad fling

Yahoo leak

Hotmail RIP

I have my domain name as my email domain.

Re: Space Opera at its finest

The only time I have ever read about a Diesel powered space ship

Re: According to 2 PSN friends

I think they both wanted to move to fibre, they knew I was on Infinity so was working better than the old BTBB days.

Re: One question

Thanks

That is interesting.

As my TV is only full HD PS4 launch day is fine for me

Re: Trump has become more deranged

>>>> Haven't you guys got someone in MI6 adept at eliminating "undesirables"?

We will get one of the double Os on to it now.

Re: @Ivan 4

My main complaint against the green movement is the nuclear side. I am very pro nuclear, but the green movement hates it.

Corbyn / Trump

Actually Corbyn is an embarrasing throwback to the 1970s, but he is not obscene like Trump.

Re: Democrats overlooking Obama's record

There were worse than Trump

1 - The creationist

2 - The current minion

Re: APS

Still was killed at birth by the comment that APS would use a better quality film than 35mm to try to equal the quality.

However the film makers would rather sell film so there was no way APS would get better than 35mm.

So APS died as a film format.

Re: Ground Transport? I have the solution!

Tanks

You could always ask the British to supply some.

Re: Sport

Sport, cheapest option is to give up and do something else instead, surprisingly easy, I used to watch every grand prix, now I have no interest and you know what? It is great.

TV

Walking Dead apppears to be in loads of places, I am using Amazon for it, a workmate uses Sky.

Re: Me

They only have a few and they are not THAT old!

machine performance

Well

Quite a while ago we bought a hot home PC, top end Pentium 4, went like stink (at the time). Current OS on the market was XP SP1, so that should place the date.

Anyway got replaced at home a few years ago by a quad core, not long after my work PC chucked its hard drive, I could not get my old work PC working (found out eventually due to SP2 flaws), so as it was during the last recession to save money I grabbed my old home PC, pinched the work PC RAM and was running the fastest and oldest PC at work.

The dual core celeryon, left in the dust.

Last used this PC about a year ago, still works, still not that slow, over 10 years old.

Our quad is not that much slower than my sons games PCs.

Old PCs are perfectly workable still

Re: XP Still in use

Because it can run a lot of software.

Unlike lots of other versions of Windows.

There is still a lot of DOS software out in the real world.

There is still a lot of 16 bit Windows software out there.

It can also run WIN32

What else do you need?

Funny really but XP is also the ONLY OS that can run both our last generation of software and our current generation. (My WINE attempts failed)

Perhaps, but I think that is Mays real target, she has wanted out for ages

1) Try to catch them - too many routes, I'll do A38, then via Down Hatherly, Staverton, and in from that end.

2) GVBP - try to stop someone "on a mission"

Re: Reset expectations

I have had good customer service from them

1st gen IDTV - updated regularly, once had a tuner mod by an engineer when the sound was wrong way round

Video camera - CCD chip fault bad glue batch, repaired at quite an age for free.

Digital camera - CCD chip replaced for free

PS4 - faulty PSU on launch day unit, swapped out for new one

And I still have a working 1982 VCR

Re: Content is king

Aghhh

I forgot Planet Earth 2

BBR Bristol and David Attenborough

Why other nature documentries fail in the UK

Re: UK - Zombies Win. USA - Zombies LOSE

Nope, we have plenty of defences.

No need for guns, a cricket bat should be enough

Re: Ginsters

I take it then that you have never tried Pork Farms or Walls.

Ginsters are not great but they are better than a lot of similar packeted foods.

We can't all live in Cornwall.

Ginsters 5/10, Pork Farms 2/10, Rowes 9/10, my Mums were 10/10

Re: If I wanted my bloody TV to be smart...

I do the same, but got a PS4 as well.

A boy has also worked out how to avoid malware sites, he goes there first on his Vita and looks for web page errors.
