    Light fitting replacement - switch required?

    Yeah you're right, I'm probably making this more complicated than it needs to be. The pull cord switches were part of the old fittings but the gf doesn't seem too opposed to finding some light fittings that include a switch. At some point we'll probably get wall mounted switches installed...

    Light fitting replacement - switch required?

    I had a sparky in yesterday to do some work around the house, and he wasn't able to replace some of the old wall lights because the lights themselves were wired directly into the mains lighting circuit and the new wall lights didn't have a switch on them (the old ones have a pull cord). After...

    Borderlands 2 release date confirmed ( Launch trailer also )

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but if I preordered Bordlerlands 2 on a popular digital delivery service (not sure if we can say the name or not) and then VPN'd into a US server so that I'd get a US IP address (using private internet access), would I be able to play it today? I...

    New Windows 7 install - find previously installed applications?

    Hey guys, I'll keep this as short as possible. Basically my 18 month old Vertex 2 died on me last night (with the apparently infamous red + green light showing), and despite my best efforts I've been unable to get it working again, so I'll be RMA-ing it over the next few weeks. I bought a...

    Who here is now gaming in 3D a lot?

    I'm becoming concerned that I can't "see" 3D as well as other people, which I'm hearing is actually more common than you'd think. Took a look at a 3DS in a shop the other day demoing whatever the newest Mario Kart is, couldn't really tell the difference between 2D and 3D. Watched the Avengers in...

    *** PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread ***

    This. I don't play many strategy games but this one (and all its expansions) is by far the most fun I've had playing an RTS in a long time, and I've never played it online either :) I already own them all but I've gifted them to two of my friends :D

    COMPANY OF HEROES 2

    Got the original CoH as one of those games that are "thrown in" when you buy a graphics card (was my first "serious one", in fact, the 8800GT). Put it in because I was curious what it was, so glad I did. Bought the original and all the expansions on Steam when they were cheap a while ago, such a...

    Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

    I do, I've disconnected and will try again. Hope they patch that issue though, was hoping to use my JS to fly the jets :) EDIT: Unplugged the joystick and it works fine now. Thanks Embed, you're awesome :)

    Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

    Having the same issue of the mouse not firing, but I am able to map stuff. Tried swapping LMB and RMB bindings with no look. Look-down-sights works though :confused: Will kill setpoint to see if that helps.

    Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

    It does but I'm pretty sure it passes some parameters to it to tell it which map to load as well as a few other things. I bet the exe'll have some sort of verification to check that is was launched by the browser too. On a different topic, and I apologise if this has been asked before, but if...

    Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

    Man I hope they introduce Caspian Border into the rotation soon. I enjoy Metro quite a lot, but from the videos I've seen of Casbian Border, it's like Heavy Metal from BC2 but like bigger and better :)

    New TP Link router seems to break everything

    Wow, thanks man, that's fixed it! :) Looking at my router's explanation of DHCP, I should have probably figured that out. Thanks again.

    New TP Link router seems to break everything

    I'll keep this as brief as possible. I basically bought a TP Link WR841N because I had pretty bad signal strength in my room when accessing the internet using the (BT) router situated in the office. My PS3 in my room already connected to the office router using a pair of Home Plugs, one...

    Can/will an ISP trace a MAC address associated with a crime?

    Ahh ok, cheers for the explanation and thanks for your help anyway.

    Can/will an ISP trace a MAC address associated with a crime?

    Basically when I arrived home after work today, I found one of my windows broken and two of my laptops gone. It's not a massive loss because the insurance are covering the losses and the broken window, and I didn't have much on either of the laptops, but it's still a bit of a pain. Anyway...

    GTA4 - Same vehicles spawning with vehicle mod - Help?

    After installing a number of different scripts which claim to do the same thing (spawn different vehicles), I'm having very little success. The third one I installed did work a bit (link, for anyone else who wants to try, you do have to register to get it though), to the point where I was...

    GTA4 - Same vehicles spawning with vehicle mod - Help?

    It handles pretty well actually, better than the stock 4x4, there's not as much roll and it seems to stick to the road a bit better. Shortly before I got the SMPA error it was spawning only Panameras, and they handled pretty well too. They might not be 'realistic' in terms of handling, but it's...

    GTA4 - Same vehicles spawning with vehicle mod - Help?

    As per the title, after modding GTAIV this afternoon with the impressive IcEnhancer mod, I decided to add a few vehicles, and found a sort of pack that included more than enough cars. (linky) Now that I've imported these vehicles, the only vehicle that ever spawns (apart from police cars and...

    ****Official Fallout New Vegas Thread****

    Despite it crashing twice already on me, I'm still having a good time. Without spoiling too much, I came to a part where I was warned there were deathclaws ahead, but I still thought I could sneak past them. It ended badly :(
