    can I revert my laptop to vista from win 7 upgrade?

    thanks siriusB, I knew I could physically install win 7 but just wasn't sure how I stood leagally. So just to be clear, as long as I remove win 7 from my laptop, I can reuse it to upgrade any single machine with a valid windows os. Also will my original vista key still work for my laptop, or...

    Are there any crimes that deserve death?

    trouble is lifer's who probably should get the death penalty don't get this. they get tv, sport facilities etc and don't even have to work for it whilst the victims and families have to live with the trauma for the rest of their lives. if the evidence is watertight, I say hang em!

It was hilarious. Stealing...

    ps3 not detecting blu ray discs

    all is ok now, I restored default settings and it seems to have done the trick. tried monsters vs aliens 3d but it doesn't recognise 3d bluray movies. Apparantley the 3d update only works for 3d games at the moment. Would have been nice to see how 3d movies look on the ps3 but it seems we may...

    program to open .lvf file?

    use gdsmux to convert the lvf file to avi and the you should be able to view. you will need a mkv codec, matroska seems to work for me. sorry it took so long to reply,not been online for a while.

    ps3 not detecting blu ray discs

    hi all, is anyone else having problems with ps3 reading bluray discs after latest firmware update (3.40)? since the update any new blu ray discs I try just won't detect. Discs I have played prior to the update still seem to work(don't know if this is due to stored data in the bd data cache)...

    things are going to be tuff!

    tough times ahead? probably, but we're not going to starve. we just have to pull our belts in a bit an like true brits grin and bear it(and moan like hell for the duration). lets just hope whoever gets voted in next week has the balls and common sense to make the right decisions, however tough...

    possibly a stupid question on increasing b/band speed but here goes.

    so removing the bell wire will do exactly the same job as an i-plate?

    possibly a stupid question on increasing b/band speed but here goes.

    might give an i-plate a try. anyone using one? are they any good?

    possibly a stupid question on increasing b/band speed but here goes.

    so slower speed is not so much a loss of signal strength as an acumulation of interference along the length of the line? things are starting to become clearer:) so repeaters have to be in the line before it reaches your home to clean up the signal? I have seen on the net bt make an "i-plate"...

    possibly a stupid question on increasing b/band speed but here goes.

    so repeaters are built into exchanges and throughout the internet to boost signal strength up to the bt exchange? i'm assuming that bt wouldn't do this from the exchange to the home purely due to expense but would it not be viable for a company to make something along the lines of a repeater for...

    possibly a stupid question on increasing b/band speed but here goes.

    I,ll try and keep this short. As I understand, the further away from your telephone exchange, the slower your broadband speed is due to the signal getting weaker(in a nutshell) My question is, and please forgive me if this is really dumb as my technical understanding of broadband is virtually...

    Richad Hammond's Invisible Worlds

    just watched this, pretty amazing imagery. would have been better if they could have gone into a bit(or even a lot) more technical detail but I guess for the length of the program they kept it interesting and I suppose theres always google if I want to become a real nerd. series linked on sky...
