This bloke taught me too. He was quite good as a teacher but, looking back on it, we always got away with far more innuendo that was necessary in his classes...

All this talk of waiting. I really better get round to ordering a possible Studio 15 as I leave for fresher's on the 5th.

I'm a student and I'm looking to get a laptop for around £400-£600. I want something that will cope happily with photoshop inside of general everyday multitasking. I kind of narrowed down my search and was pretty contented on getting a dell studio 15 specced out to around £600 but then saw...

Season's greetings, I was called to the aid of a friend who's system failed at POST giving beeps and no luck when I fiddled with the memory and from how I tested it it seems to be a problem inside the mobo (661fx-m7 v1.1 any ideas?). I said I could probably rustle up a fix/upgrade of mobo...

So what is a good replacement for the stock lens or the Sigma for under £100?

What decided you on the sigma? From those reviews the Tamron looks ahead.

Star Trek, for all the somewhat deserved mocking it gets (mainly directed at it's fans), is a believable sci-fi film as there is a moderate amount of science behind it, be it things that haven't been invented/discovered, but there seems to be more magic than science in Dr Who and a lot of newer...

Hello there, Is it me or have science fiction films and television shows just gone beyond science and lay merely in the realms of the fictional now. The film "Sunshine" is about restarting the sun - something that has little if any grounding in reality. (I haven't seen it though so please...

Sounds good - please share them.

That looks good actually. I believe you can get filter adaptors that would allow you to use the same filters on both - not that that's a major consideration. Any recommendations on bags and "armour"?

Hello, I'm looking at getting a EOS 400D but I'm unsure about which lens(es) to buy. I'm going off on a college trip to the Pyrenees later on this year and I want to be able to do some good wide-angle landscapes as well as some macros on local flora and fauna. I could buy the camera...

Hello all, I'm getting too lax on the old backup front. What would be the cheapest way to back up about 400gb of data? What is cheapest pound to gb? Ideally I want removable media so that I protect my data from fire. Any ideas? Thanks

I know it was a bit over the budget but we decided on the Canon Powershot G7. Looks like a good spec, quite compact and nice reviews. Thanks for all the help.

Hello all, A friend of mine wants to buy her husband a digital camera as a surprise for his birthday in a few weeks time. She's not really a very "technically inclined" person so she went into a high street store where they recommended the Nikon Coolpix P4. She wants to buy a good small...

Thanks for the help people. It seems to have sorted itself. I started up with everything unplugged after a CMOS reset and now it appears to be ok. I can't see what I changed really but all seems ok. Thank you :)

That one of the millennium bridge is really ace.

I seem to have been able to get in some how. I reset the CMOS several times and unplugged peripherals and it went okish. Any idea what I should do? Should I try to flash the BIOS? I can't see how that would help as it does occasionally get in. This is a sickening problem.

I'm running a 939 Opteron 165 on a MSI K8N sli (I think that's the model) with 2x1gbs of corsair value RAM. It's doing it again so bad that I've given up trying. I reset the CMOS and it ran fine last night but I reset it again today and still it keeps freezing before it gets to it detecting...

Thanks, Kicking myself now; I hadn't been thinking of that. I'll try that if I have problems on restart. Cheers.

I got to my PC tonight went on it, turned it off and ran away for an hour or so and then I came back and turned it on again. It sounded normal, fan starting up etc., but it just hung after stating the CPU name. I then turned off the power at the mains and tried again- it got to counting the RAM...
