Actually I do have another request:

Can there be a button to remove myself from the forum? As in delete all my posts since 2002 up until today? I really don't feel like looking at kiddie remarks from admins anymore.

Cheers,

Samaya

I tried asking for something small but it seems will be a big job to implement. So fine no more problems.

This forum feels too closed down - too compacted. You have to look for everything. It is a typical problem with most programmers, They think that they have created the BEST, most user friendly piece of software known to mankind and aliendom. I think some people call it a god complex. So when people ...

Besides, for those who want to see the most recent topics, we already have a) active topics, which I thoughtfully split into various categories, and b) RSS feeds. If people can't be bothered to use existing functionality, I can't be bothered to entertain requests for new stuff which does essentiall...

Thats just the point. I don't want to click a link to go. I just want to open the forum, view the posts, see if there is anything interesting and move on if I want to. We had a latest post column on the left way back when I joined the forum and it worked great then.

How about a "latest post" panel/frame/whatever you call it. Right on the main page and right on top. It makes it easier to avoid the spammers and you can also see what is happening on the forum. It also makes it easier than to look through all the directories as it is now

I don't post much and I even joined before uncle Lancelot. I would probably take another 9 years to make 2000 posts...

Ok and what issues (Even minor ones) have you had with the S2?

I forgot about them. But I also don't like them that much either. Nice phones but not to my taste.

You have difficult questions on a monday morning. I don't think you would be able to use the terminal program like that. But try and see what happens. Otherwise get yourself Docklight ( http://www.docklight.de ). IT IS FANTASTIC. You monitor your serie port and on certain marked strings you can have...

I need some advice as to which smart phone to get. I have a short list and not in any particular order: Nokia N8 Sony Ericsson Arc / Neo Samsung Galaxy S2 I have had Nokia's for nearly every phone I have ever had hence the N8. I am keen to try Android so either the S2 or Arc or Neo will be just fine...

Thanks I'll try this tonight.

I need help changing my one annoying PC running Win7 from a business network to a Home network in a more permanent way. I change the setting from business to home in the computer->properties->computer name... and then click change settings. Is there another way of making it more permanent? Reason I ...

Why not call it "Metric **** Ton". Cos that's how much this thing is going to weigh! :) Looking good btw. You'll be surprised how little this actually weighs. It is most definitly LESS than 2kg's. I really don't want a massive case again. Thanks btw :mrgreen: Looking good man! I don't env...

I was thinking of renaming this build to Mechanical Animal... After the Marilyn Manson Album

You could try Communica - their in Midrand. I don't know if they have that size but I know they have raw board.

I think I need to change the name of this project - Mecha sounds to close to some religeous place in the middle east. And of course I have no idea what I want to call it...

I finally had time to work on my mod again. I managed to finish the other half of the top side. And I also found a way to cut these thick sheets with a Jigsaw. Just add oil to the blade and keep it smooth. So after all the rough cutting, I started filing the panel. This took very nearly forever http...

Thanks

I found a shop called Rebel Tech and was wondering if anyone has bouoght anything from them? What was your experience?

Awesome thanks ppl. I'll go get this one then: Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 3 user from Kalahari with my Ebucks.

I had problems these last couple of weeks with virusses and so on getting through Avast AV. I have looked at, but didn't like Microsoft Security essentials, and previously used AVG. So now I want to get a better AV like Kaspersky or Norton or NOD32 (I will be paying this time... twice it would seem)...

We have terminal program that was written by one of the guys in our Firmware department. Superterm I can send you a copy if you want. It was written with embedded developers in mind

Unfortunately I have no hand-on experience with welding. I had my frame for Mecha welded at a engineering shop. You'll need to speak with people who work with this type thing. All I can add is that the guy that welded my frame used a Tig welder to do it.
