I look after an SMF2 forum.  during the last week we had large increas in these...  We implemented addon package called Bot Scout and it has eliminated em..!!!

Well played Alex !!

Prizes for coming last?

Its nice to see I never got my own special underline..!!!

Please wait for Smashedagain to comment.

he is the nuts...

He shaves his nuts?

Iffy tummy, u be spending lot of time in the loo tomorrow..!!

Its sort of a little more than that...

Firstly...  There are 2 types of wireless router..  If the internet is via Virgina cable (Or any other cable) is is a DSL router....  If it is via the BT phone line, it is an ADSL router...  It is adviasable to buy the correct router as one will not work on the other.......

Also....

Wireless....  There are various types of wireless that have evolved through the years...  The older computers used to us 802.11a....  then 802.11b...  then 802.11g...  more recently 802.11n..... 

If you get a router that is capable of a, b, g and n...  then it is more capable...  if you buy a router that is older, and is only a b, and g....  and the laptop is capable of a, b, g, n...  then the laptop wireless will not be working at its fastest...

All routers typically have 4 port ethernet on the back so any routers really should be capable for the desktop pc...


Its sort of irrelevant if it is XP compatible...  Routers work irrelevant of operating system...

I used to believe that Don Quixote's first name was Donkey..!!

When I was little, and went to bed, the sheets were cold, and my mum used to go into another room and turn a switch that would warm up my sheets for me..!!  It worked as well..!!

I used to think that Duck A L'Orange was named because of that nice little French town called "Orange"

If you have a 4 slice toaster (Like Boshi), and you only want to have 2 slices of toast, you would normally use the 2 slots on the left or the 2 slots on the right, then the slice of toast that is nearest to the 2 empty slots, does not get cooked to the same level of browness as the slice that is nearest the sidewall of the toaster.  It pops up with one side under-done...!!! The other side of that slice is fine.  This is because the heat that should be directed towards the bread loses some because there is no toast in the empty slots.

40 left as we approach the end of Level 19 and the third break of the day after nine levels

blinds go 12-24k next and average is 420,000

Three more levels to play tonight

Will we make a final?

Whisper it, but I hear idle chatter of a deal already from a player or two. They wouldn't deal as early as 2 or 3 tables out surely?

Surely people with golden chip turn down a deal until final?

Great news Mo xx

I had an issue recently here my laptop was shutting down, just switch off, no warning, turned out it was overheating.  I loaded a program called 'Acronis Drive Monitor' and it was telling me the hard disk temp was just about 62 degrees as it shut down.  Max should have been 55 degrees.  I took off the base panel and it ran slightly cooler and 2-3 degrees cooler.  But that is still above specification.

When had disks get too hot, they are likely to cause a failure.  I only had a hard disk failure just over 1 month ago, so the overheting is an issue.

With my back panel off, I can see that the internal cooling fan is working just fine.  I use my laptop on the arm of my chair, so there is no gap below the laptop to vent properly.  If it is placed on a hard desk, there is a few mm of gap between laptop and desk where vented hot air can be vented properly.

I could also see, the more programmes I ran, the warmer it got on the drive monitor.

So...

I bought a laptop cooler.  It cost me £16. I had to buy a larger one because mine is an 18 inch laptop.  It is basically a base that the laptop sits on.  The base has 3 fans in the base.  It uses power from a USB port.  The one I got, the fans can be detatched and moved, so I moved the fans to the place where the vents are and the fans now push air into the vents.  I was careful not to put a fan near to the vent where the laptop fan blows outwards.  That would just cause a problem, 2 fans pushing against each other.

Now..  My laptop hard disk is running at 41 to 43 degrees and now well within 55 degree max tollerance and also, 1 week later, not a single shutdown since.

This is the one I got....  For the larger laptop...  http://www.scan.co.uk/products/coolermaster-notepal-u3-slim-notebook-cooler-black-silver-for-upto-19-laptops-movable-fan
