  1. Roger, does that mean you are going to change my login name? i am not bothered about leaving the login as f r i o r - o n e
  2. Gentlemen, For some time now I have been musing over my name, "F r i o r". (spaced to prevent the censor making the change-see below) Recently I have dropped the "one" (people in the office often accuse me of dropping "one", but I deny all knowledge
  3. here is watt (noice spelling, funny eh, no, ok then) I know. RCB's have a rating for "leakage". all electrical units leak a bit of juice. flouresent lights leak, irons, kettles etc, if that goes over the limits, the rcb will trip. I am just in the process of building a couple of ponds and had an electrician in to do the wiring for the pumb and filters. he had a look at my current (no pun intended) setup and advised a seperate RCB for the exterior supply as my type of solutuon is prone to tripping RCBS and I would not want it going at random times. Now, another story he told me was of a friend of his that had the RCB keep going at different times, but nealrly allways at the same time in the morning. it turned out that they had lots of electrical devices in the house (kids had major stuff in the bedrooms hi-fis, powerful computers plazma screens etc) and when the central heating kicked in in the morning, the extra leakage was enough to put the RCB over the top and trip. he proved it by changing the time his heating came on to a bit later and the same thing happened. This is all probably of no use but I thought that i would share. Edit: I just noticed you put MCB, dont know if RCB is the later version
  4. the bios (basic/base/begginging input output system (i think)) is what the pc reads when it first boots up. its what gets the pc going. when you have a look inside on the motherboard there is a large button battery, like the ones that go in watches etc, just bigger. it keepsthe clock running etc when the pc is powered off. i have had this option reccommended to me before to solve another sort of problem. i did not need to do it in the end. if you do remove it and replace it, when the pc next boots you will be prompeted to re-set the date and time and it may take a few moments do some checking i believe. i would add that i have never actually removed one !

    Prop Pitch

    this thread goes to prove that there is no right answer. the other night i was talking to bbloke about this very subject, asking him how he flew the 190. he said to me that he uses about 95% prop pitch, rads open and boost on when engaged. i tried it the other night flying on my own zooming about on a practice map of my own whilst trying some new stick settings (also trying to get it over or around 400 kmh) it it ran for ages with out any sign of over heating, in fact i had run out of amo from shooting up ground targets and had turned it off before heading back to base to practice landing.
  6. the lead has gone out of mine....
  7. Remember Enforcer, my confessional
  8. sorry i had to leave a bit soon chaps, i was getting very hot due to the burning stare my wife was giving me (i dont normally get to fly mondays) it was great while it lasted, although flying with 3 other guys all called "Nick" did make me feel like changing my name.
  9. Ahh, British (sorry Dave) English Council workmen at their best.......
  10. how about giving them the void skin, so that they are all white, that might help (graphics card is working just fine now i sorted drivers out by the way crash )
  11. i would definatly second that. i went from a standard pci sound card to an audigy 2 and gained about 12fps

  14. Just a little bump to ask any of our recent new members that, if they have not done so already, would they kindly put a pin in our map which can be found here http://www.dangerdogz.com/forums/index. ... 77.0 so that we can see where you live, err, sorry, thats not meant to mean so that BG can come and seize your land to add to his empire, just that it adds to the community spirit, one world and all that. Salute Frior

  16. ok, thanks again for your wonderful help o wise one, not to be confused with O'Dimone, the Irish Chicken breeder from County Bilmarmney in Southern Ireland who has been breeding Chickens with 4 legs so that everyone can have a drumstick for Sunday lunch, trouble is they are so fast no one has yet been able to cath one to see what they taste like!

  17. I am now thinking of getting an external hard drive to do some backing up of pictures etc. My machine is getting a biot tight for space, it only had a 40gb hard drive as standard when i bought it and thought that it would be plenty

    Headsets

    i would have thought the cheapest and easiest solution would be, like roger suggested use a splitter. i use one for my set up. please excuse this if you know what a splitter is My set-up (I turn my speakers off when using the headset)
  19. you need a display utility called "teamspeak display". google for it. when installed, it will display a little window that you can position anywhere on your screnn. it will sit on top of the game screen. when playing i 1. start track ir 2. start ts display 3. start ts and minimise once logged in 4. start game it will give you the names of the people speaking.
  20. yea, but did you spot the video on the same site of the trick play at a school football game. the quarter back pulls out of the set with the ball held high in 1 hand as if there is something wrong with it and walks towards the side lines, then when clear makes a run for a touch down, brilliant!
