I flick between Opera, Firefox and Safari when I get suitably annoyed with one.

First off was Firefox, but when you've had it running for 2 weeks or so it's insane memory leak just brings the mac to a grinding halt, so that went in the bin to be replaced by Safari.

Which is OK except it has essentially 0 useful features, crashes pretty frequently, can't close tabs with middle mouse button, can't safe sessions without payware addon etc etc.

Then I moved onto Opera having used it on PC for years, and is still the most feature rich browser out of the box. It's only problem is it really doesn't render some pages correctly.

So now it's back to FF3 RC1 for a bit until I get annoyed with that.

Quote from Gnomie :But I think in general you'd be better off the sooner you start paying for your own insurance instead of using your parents' insurance. If you don't, you might be facing some ridiculously expensive insurance once you're 26 or whatever and want to buy a brand new car.

Yer I thought that, but then thought screw it, I'll drive a better, faster car AND save over £1800 a year on insurance. The price drops considerably when you're over 21 regardless of a no claims discount, and I bet the difference in 5 years NCB and 0 isn't more than £1800*4 or 5 years.

OT: Nathan just been through your photobucket gallery, those cartoon pics labeled 'My first attempt at tooning' etc, you didn't do those did you :P As I happen to know the guy who did actually do them.

Also the number of doors barely has any bearing on insurance price. If you quotes were from the same company with exactly the same cover then I'd be suprised, but I very much doubt they are.

Quote from Scrabby :Is the insurance expensive in the UK? Because i went to silverstone this weekend and on the road CONSTANTLY boy racers with Evo, Scooby's, FTO's, Supra's, Skyline's. It was JDM heaven lol. Or do you need lots of cash to have it insured?

It's very expensive for the first few years, after the age of 25 though it is generally pretty cheap, which is why you'll find most people driving Evos etc in the 25-40 age bracket.

Good god the irish noob has sprung back out of nowhere. The only person on my ignor list, yet I still feel compelled to read his posts, purely for comedy value.

Quote from ajp71 :They may not be your taste but the prize cannot be underestimated, Phantom of the Opera, by the same two has grossed nearly twice that of the Titanic and has run at capacity 8 times a week in the same theatre for 22 years with each seat typically upwards of £50.

Exactly what I was thinking. It really is phenomenal how long these shows run for. I remember the first time I went to the West End to see Cats, the experience as a child is amazing.

Wasn't too sure about the program tbh, saw a fair few out of tune bits. Still an amazing price nonetheless.

Britain's got talent was a bit of a laugh, no point taking it seriously obviously, but everyone knows that surely.

I would imagine Apple have registered a lot of i* names. I doubt they'd think, right lets make a camera, obv we'll call it the iShot, oh wait now we're going to have to buy that name from someone.

Anyway, looks pretty good, very much like every other digicam out there but good work none-the-less.

Quote from swisscosmo :hey guys if your talking about the program steam which i think you are i'm wondering i was installing the RACE07 demo but my internet cut out half way and Steam says the Install/download of RACE07 is done but its not beucase it was only half way so i'm wondering how do i uninstall it or get rid of the RACE 07 thing and start over again?

It will auto-resume, and may have finished downloading it without you knowing. Either way you can right-click, and click delete local game content. That usually works.

It IS a shame that all those guys with water cooling have great big pipes trailing all around their houses.

I have to say, whilst I did enjoy the music and am impressed with what he's acheived, I found it more interesting in video format, the music on it's own didn't appeal to me, so I won't be buying. Still, impressive.

You can get helicopters easily from the 2nd island, down on the bottom right of the map.

Quote from jibber :If you find it too easy, try to switch off auto aim. This was the first thing i've done in GTA4 (i was kinda surprised to see it's possible), and it made the game so much more rewarding.

Good idea, didn't think of that before.

Yer don't get me wrong, it is still the most fun I've had playing a game this year.

Does anyone else find the game suprisingly easy though? I'm about 60% through and have really only failed a few missions. No cheats.

Tbh the 'cover system', whatever you want to call it, just makes it so easy to hang back and take out people one at a time, which is fair enough I suppose.

The only time you could really ever die is if you run out in the open, then of course yer you get shot to pieces very quickly.

Quote from G!NhO :
He did a race against a Hayabusa on the autobahn and he could keep up with it all the way to 300 kmh.

Lol no.

Just driving fast in a straight line is pretty boring. Fastest 0-60 on the other hand is around 4 secs in my dads kit car, that is fun.

Because it's not at native res, as thus will be jagged and blurry?
That said, the game probably won't support it.

Quote from Bladerunner :QT has had his hand in a great number of movies, either as director, writer, producer or even actor...sometimes all 4 together!
Classics like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill weren't accidental, and Dusk till Dawn still remains one of the best vampire movies I have seen. The Grindhouse concept was excellent the way it was put together...sometimes you have to look beyond what you see on the screen, and use your brain as well as your eyes... QT makes you do that!
Tarantino is definitely in my top ten, maybe not up the top end with Ridley Scott, John Carpenter or Hitchcock; but there nevertheless.
Uwe Boll on the other hand, should not be allowed within 500 miles of a camera. Period.

Haha totally agree.

It's classic GTA, the game itself is unbelievably easy, yet it's so frustrating as you constantly get jammed on things or he runs around like a lunatic whilst you're trying to stop the view spinning.

The bank robbery mission is pretty good, just make sure you stay in cover, and use nades if you have any.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :It isn't your qualifications though, it is who you know in that area. One of my house mates has a degree in Military History, but he knows someone who has got him a job as a film critic. He has no qualifications in that area, he is just a guy who likes watching films, but he knew someone who was able to get him a job as a critic for some European Film Festival, which means if he applies for a job as one he has that on his CV.

That is what you need to get anywhere in life.

I would defiantely agree, it's all about connections.

I am lucky enough to have built up a few connections since starting web development, that have enabled me to go from doing small few-hundred £ projects, to having a couple of considerably larger projects lined up over the few months, something that will look good on my CV.

...Which has got me thinking, I'm starting to dislike my course (Comp Sci) at uni more and more, if I don't do well this year I'm seriously considering investigating focussing on my work full time. Of course I have next to no experience being just 20, but I don't see it being impossible at all.

I think with work such as graphic design Dajmin, if you can work it so you have some time, maybe a year or two, to build up a portfolio, even if it includes work done for free, that's something you have to show then. Music I guess is much harder, although your band seems to be doing well

Interestingly displaying black on an LCD generally uses more energy than displaying white apparently.
