    Buffalo Linkstation Live

    UK Link Looking at that one. I've found a few reviews of older models, I assume they'll be fairly similar. Main uses are obviously for streaming media around a gigabit network to PS3 mainly, with some PC work. I've currently got TVersity set-up on the PC and that works very well...

    looking to buy 24" lcd - concerned about input lag/gfx

    FWIW, we've got a 24" Dell at home, and put in a 7300gs or some crap, and it has no problems. At work we've got a 7100 powering two 22"s with no problems. Bottom line, I don't think your card is going to be a problem :)

    Trouble retrieving address book / contacts from Active Directory

    In your example, you put the OU as customers. That gives me an Object doesn't exist on server error. It seems to get anything about this 'customers' folder I have to use CN=customers,CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects,DC=domain etc.... I presume the fact this is coming up as CN instead...

    Trouble retrieving address book / contacts from Active Directory

    Basically, I'm to write an application for logging technical support calls / issues etc. and would like to use the existing customer contacts database to log who called in etc. I've been informed that LDAP is how I should be retrieving this information. All of our contacts are stored in a...

    Need sane organization for 20,000+ Pictures - HELP

    As for changing colours (I'm English, sorry) of folders, you could create shortcuts to them and change the icons for them. I don't think you'd be able to do it any other way. I'm sure there's simpler free programs that will show you about duplicate files, I know for a fact that a program...

    Best TV card that works fine with Windows 2000?

    Based in the UK (if that makes any difference), so will be receiving UK DVB-T signal, we have 2 TVs on freeview, so signal is reasonable here. Record one channel whilst watching another would be nice, but is by no means mandatory. Can't seem to find any up to date advice on what's the best...

    Mushkin RAM

    Using Mushkin XPs here, 2x1GB. Haven't pushed them too far, but have been faultless in the months I've had them. If you find a good price, or don't mind it, pull the trigger :)

    100% pure sex

    Ditto. That was like a GT5 ad (what with it having Ferrari's and all), but with some Shell BS at the end. If GT5 actually reproduced sounds like that, there'd be thousands of men across the world constantly tingling. Here's hoping I guess. Awesome ad.

    Why do people like manual transmissions?

    If I had to sit in traffic a lot, then an automatic would have a certain appeal, as fine, sitting in traffic going first > second > first > second over and over isn't fun. That's the only time I'd think yeah, I want an auto. In normal driving, changing gear is just a natural process you don't...

    Human Life Poll breaks down

    Ignoring the grammar, think outside the box man. You only 'know' something must have come from something because that is all your brain has ever experienced. I am far from saying some sort of 'God' is real, just encouraging you to further appreciate the limits of your mind, as a mere human...

    Build me the best system

    The Core 2 Duo. Why? Because it's a faster processor in real terms, and it even has more cache. And that cache is shared, so when you rn a game, you'll probably have almost 4MB of cache for that core, which is bound to make some sort of difference. Either way, a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo is faster...

    Suck or Blow?

    Based on the fact that he asked this question, I'm guessing his brain doesn't work like that... Every PC fan I've encountered blows air towards the bits of the casing that support the centre. That was poorly described. D'ah well.

    Want a small notebook/laptop to stick some *nix flavour on

    As topic title says, I'm looking for a really small laptop, (12.1" isn't it?) just to have for internet browsing etc. Thought I'd put linux or some such on it to hopefully get some more performance for my buck. Unfortunately, I have not paid any attention to the notebook market at any point...

    I failed my driving test for the 4th f-ing time

    I'd written some big long opinion and explanation and justification and so on, but seriously, dude, 4 times? Give up. And 4 majors on your 4th attempt? And you've been 'learning' for what, 3 years? And you can't afford to pay £48 every time you fail? You'll be paying that every couple of weeks...

    How come everyone hates McDonalds?

    I really like the taste of the food there, and have no problem eating there. Stomach feels a bit nasty afterwards, and that fast food wind is deadly. But yeah, I do enjoy the food there when I go, I just haven't found myself going there at all for months. Maybe I'll go to one tonight, just for...

    Unlimited Time or Money

    I presume this unlimited time thing means you basically stop aging? Not sure how great that would be though really. All of your friends would grow old and die around you. Significant others would grow old etc. Your children would get old and die. At least infinite money you could have an...

    I'm interested to see if they continue with Jack doubting himself etc, maybe explore that a bit. I was quite taken aback when Jack failed with the interogation, and it looks like they may be intending to develop it a bit more. Hopefully not into some "Bauer must fight the terrorist threat...

    Anyone here ever get a blood shot eye but feel fine?

    Got one for the first time a few months ago. Was bloodshot for 2 weeks. Started using some Optex or whatever, went away, came back about a week later, still felt perfectly normal. A week later went to the doctor, they couldn't see anything, gave me some eyedrops. They eventually made it go away...

    VB 6 problem

    To the best of my knowledge, the textbox font is uniform throughout, you can't have bits of it bold etc. You'd have to go for multiple text boxes and have it jump to the next line when it reached the end or somesuch trickery.

    Talk about Smoking!

    I've always seen it as a weakness of character to be honest. (Hear me out lol) I've never taken a puff, so obviously can't speak from experience, but basically, the first time you smoke a cigarette, you don't like it, that's pretty much a given, right? So it must be some sort of peer...

    Moving out on your own in the US

    From a less American perspective, it's normal in Italy to stay at home. I don't know what the average age for leaving is there, but I'm fairly confident a 25year old isn't looked down upon for it. In the UK, a lot of people leave home after University, so about 21-23, i.e when they get into...
