No way of modding the box at all so it will fit? I found the newer cards are very very long compared to the ones a few years ago, can run into issues if you have heatsinks sticking out of your motherboard. I had a northbridge zalman cooler after the fan went, and it interfered with my longer card ¬_¬ And the expensive, faster ones have big fat plastic cover things... I never understood that tbh Think the problem is that websites aren't specific enough with measurements in most cases.

I went into carphone warehouse today and bought a memory card for my phone. He asked me what internet I have, to which I said Pipex, completely throwing him. Then he asked how much I pay, I know rightly but said that I hadn't a clue and it wasn't my bill, or my decision, then walked out. I had spoken to a carphone warehouse staff member once, and they get commission on every contract they sell, so I'm assuming its something to do with a desperate sale. Went to boots and the alarm went off. Went into woolies, alarm went off. Went back to carphone warehouse and asked him to check the security alarm thing. He said that I didnt set off the alarm in the shop there (they must have had it OFF), and the stock there wouldn't set off anyone else's alarms. He noticed that I have an ipod, and he said it was that. I was getting fucking cross by this point and told him I'd been in and out of shops with this ipod for years, and he still wouldnt even check >_> So I left, opened the box of the mem card and lo and behold there was a security tag in it. RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR STUPID SALESMEN!!! More concerned with selling me their shitty talktalk internet than actually providing a good service. I also noticed that they are doing 3 wireless internet with a free laptop. I didn't get a free laptop when I took mine out directly with 3 Very unimpressed today.

Couldn't have said it better if I tried, which I did. heh.

Least you won't have any overheating problems I had bother with my graphics card in an mATX box, the box had two levels and the motherboard tray slid out, so the graphics card had to go no further above where the screwy bit is. Unfortunately I have a big bitch of a heatsink on BOTH of my graphics cards which go over and above the card itself.. Its kinda one you don't think you need to worry about but turns out you do. AFAIK, you can get half sized graphics cards, but they aren't super fast or anything

I had black flashing streaks across my screen a few times. On one occasion the plugs weren't screwed in tight enough, or the graphics card was slightly dislodged. The second was an update on the graphics card which fucked it up, so I reverted it back to the graphics driver Vista had installed by default (who would know vista would have a BETTER graphics driver ) Use it as an excuse to buy a big bastard of a tv to hook up to it

If people can easily get guns for "protection" they can easily get them for murdering people. Guns should be outlawed. You can say all you want about licences and responsiblity, but there are people that WILL use them in a bad way regardless. Its a fine line between taking away peoples freedom, and protecting their lives at the end of the day. It wasn't the child's fault at all, it was the PARENTS. Children cannot buy arms, therefore cannot be held responsible. I really wonder why on earth an adult with a family would be thinking to buy any kind of arms... I mean what sort of example are you setting to your children, having guns is okay? If these .22 guns (or whatever he used) are not really that dangerous, how did the kid manage to kill himself? Makes you wonder if it was really an accident at all. Maybe I have a harsh opinion on this topic, but it could save so many people from being murdered/injured if guns weren't so readily available.

Aw chris dude I'm really sorry to hear that

Updated graphics card driver? Checked all the plugs are plugged in tightly? (power and dvi/vga connection) I don't think temps would cause that sort of a problem, I imagine your PC would crash or restart with high temps, rather than cause that sort of issue. If its not that then I imagine your monitors on its way out, sadly.

I've been bloody bitten by a bug or something RAWR >_< Its itchhyy. I keep getting bitten at work, last summer I counted the bites on my legs (60!!) My psoriasis alone is enough to drive me insane with itchy, not to mention being covered in bites. Must be infested in the office, a few other people have said they've been bitten. Added on top of the leaky roof (get the bins at the ready to catch the dripping water) the mould growing up the side of my wall, and the dampness causing my arthritis to flare. Now thats what I call job satisfaction!

Yeah I know what you mean. If it got to that stage I think I'd rather they be happy than stay together for the sake of us. I have pretty much ALL of my mannerisms from my dad. Except he's a lot worse, thankfully -

I think it happens with all parents, my mum and dad are always having a go at each other, and its usually about me, which kinda sucks. Or when my dad doesn't stop talking, which is very often Families eh? -

You'd be surprised at how a skin condition can send people flocking AWAY from you My mum and dad are surprisingly strong. 26 years and still going, yey. Actually I took a booking at work for a couple (both in their 80's) that were married 50 years. That's some fucking awesome right there. -
Found out today that my office is moving to right beside the cinema! Yaaattaaa! Pizza hut and KFC right beside it too. Will not do diet good. Meds are waiting in the fridge... Have to wait for a nurse to come round to assist the first one or whatever, what a pain. I want them nooow.

Raining_again replied to ReZourceman's topic in General Chit Chat
In terms of family life, I've had a good life - my mum and dad are still together, nice family unit, enough money to live happily. Growing up was pretty rubbish for me in all honesty, I got picked on a lot for my skin condition. I moved to this country in p6, and for two years I had no friends, even the teachers were very hard on me. My health is absolutely down the pan right at this moment, but soon I should be okay, thanks to the wonders of modern medicine. Well I have to face the fact that I WILL be on meds for the rest of my life. But all the shit above has made me into a far better and more mature adult. I consider everyone's feelings. I never look down on people, or treat them as shit for the way they look. And more recently I've come into my own me, really since I started dying my hair. I have few friends, but the ones I do have are pretty valuable to me =) So overall I'd say I was pretty happy. I feel that people should take bad things in their life and try and turn them into good things. -
Same here. Isn't that the worst thing ever ¬_¬ My fringe is pink I never heard of the programme tho, sorry

I'm really disappointed, I wanted to die in a supermassive black hollleee! Oh well October ain't so far away.

I can't believe people are getting so het up about his swords, good god, give the guy a break. If the he gets pleasure out of collecting them then there's nothing wrong with that. @ chris the great: Is there much aftercare involved with them, or is it just an ornamental thing?

After a pile of bullshit from one of my "friends" I decided to delete her number and block her calls. Yey. Now I have naruto shippuden to watch on my ipod (thanks Aeroscap! ) so I am far happier ;D
