    Best London transport app?

    Alright guys? I'm moving to the big city next month, and am looking for an iphone app to get me about the public transport. Preferably it'd work offline and cover bus, overland and tube. Multiple routes (simplicity vs. speed) and live updates would be a bonus. Such a tool would obviously...

    Spec Me A Shaving Soap...

    Out of left field - Lush Ambrosia. Brave the stench or send in your girlfriend. Very gentle, leads to a good clean shave, a tiny bottle lasts ages and it even tastes nice.

    What do you lazy on when gaming?

    Even better when you stack two of them. (Until friction loses its battle and you flop out across the room)

    Orange - Best upgrade tactics?

    Hi all. I'm about to contact orange and enquire about an upgrade, probably to a Hero. I've heard that diffrent departments can give you different deals, for instance an Orange shop might have different criteria than a call-centre person. Any advice on the best way to get a good deal? I've...

    Win7 - BSOD when gaming.

    Well, I can't get it to BSOD again, and in fact both Anno and crysis run fine again. Suspicious. Watch this space I suppose. Are there any program which can stress-test graphics cards?

    Win7 - BSOD when gaming.

    I'm afraid the BSOD is only up for half a second. The error logs are as follows: Description A problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly. Problem signature Problem Event Name: LiveKernelEvent OS Version: 6.1.7100.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 2057 Files that...

    Win7 - BSOD when gaming.

    Alright all? I installed 7100ysterday afternoon, and had a very productive three hour stint on anno 1404 without mishap. Cut to this morning, install the crysis SP demo and after a few minutes of playtime (the first video section) I find an old-school BSOD confronting me. It now seems that...

    PSU - Graphics cable problem - quick fix needed

    There's a spare blue (PCI Express?) slot on the PSU, better idea to get a second cable?

    PSU - Graphics cable problem - quick fix needed

    Hi Guys I've just taken delivery of a new gfx card, a 4890. I hadn't realised that modern cards need two 6pin 75 cables from the psu. I've currently got an old tagan 580w modular psu, old enough that I've lost the box containing all the spare cables. My question is this: Is it just a...

    Been out of the game for a while, limited upgrade spec?

    Cheers guys. I've ordered virtually the same kit as Kennysevenfold's recommendation, but exchanged the cpu cooler for an aftermarket gpu cooler. Thanks for the help.

    Been out of the game for a while, limited upgrade spec?

    Cheers, looks interesting. Would it matter that (afaik) my mobo has a PCIe 1.0 slot? Also, to add, I'm looking to game at 1920x1200. I have Zalman aftermarket cooler that is pretty efficient as well. From the MS website it looks like the pre-orders have ended, or am I missing something?

    Been out of the game for a while, limited upgrade spec?

    Hi all. My PC, built to a high spec about four years ago has started to act a little temperamental, and I've noticed that I really can't get away with new games anymore. I'm considering a little upgrade, but money being an option am trying to go the cheap/clever route this time. Current build...

    Battlefield 1943

    Still nicely full. I don't struggle to find a game at any point, day or night. Well worth it imo.

    Stunning pictures of the volcano that blew a hole in the sky!

    It's also quite a bit closer to the sun. That may help keep it warm. Excellent pics, OP.

    Nice places to go in devon/cornwall/somerset/dorset...

    Budleigh Salterton? It's only a 15 minute drive out of exeter and the walk along the prom is lovely. How about parking at the pub in bickleigh, walking up the exe to bolham, then back for pub grub by the wier? Valley of rocks on exmoor? I've always wanted to wander on Bodmin moor, get off...

    Best anti-perspirant

    Lush Mr. T. I'm a particularly sweaty and smelly example of homo sapiens (or was until I started using this stuff) but can now bike to and from uni, a good six miles, in summer without being stinky or especially moist. The talc basis put me off for a bit, but I found if I put a shirt on and...
