nice to be seen

I'm 107kg and I'm damn sure that makes me the heaviest person here.
Do I win a prize?
Maybe a free bottle of slimfast [/url]

Thats me.....

Thats really interesting Thrall, I did not know that. I have 2 Fujitsu drives at home a 4GB and an 8.4GB drive. The 4GB drive is about about 6 years old and they both have never given me a moments hassle. On the other hand, I have been through 3 Maxtor drives in 2 years. No prizes for guessing who s...

SA rugby is a shadow of its former self. A quarter final placing would be extremely good.

"Guess what? It wouldn't have blown up ... with the worms and the viruses" of recent weeks, he said. So they've stooped to using cheap shots.... [Sun probobably coded Blaster and Welchia] I think this is all hot air, really. If Linux has trouble competing with Windows on the desktop platf...

Kronos makes some good points. I'm completeing my National Diploma in IT this year (4 years par time). I already work in IT, but did not when I started this course. In my case, I will still go on to do an MCSE after this as it will help me move up the ladder faster. Your best bet is to decide whethe...

Should work for Outlook on any box....

Also for shaky download links, try use a download manager like GetRight or DAP. They can resume broken downloads so you dont lose a 98% complete file when the link goes down.

We installed Windows 2003 Server and set it up as an Exchange recently, and had that exact same message when our call logging system attempted to send autogenerated mail. As far as we know (and I work for a Microsoft Gold Certified company) there is only one way around this: We installed ORKtools. I...

Using ActiveX in VB you can import the Windows Media Player libraries and play all media player supported formats, including mp3.

This is the funniest thing I have read in a while...

Technically, most of us are pirates. Legally speaking, taping a movie shown on TV is a form of piracy, as is hiring a DVD and then showing it to a large group of people. I watch a movie at the cinema almost every week, but I also watch pirated DVD's (I watched Tomb Raider II last night). So what? I ...

Would different phones = different weapons \ armour \ damage?

Like, if I'm playing on a 2110, will that equal
pellet gun \ 0 armour \ 5 damage

And a 9210 could be something like
death ray \ 1000 armour \ 500 damage

That would be even more fun, and it would help boost cellphone sales too.

What's wrong with Windows 98?

I own a Rick Astley cassette from the 80's - that I still listen to!

5 statics and 5 DRPs just for a 3 second free-fall, plus all the expense involved... I think I'll try bungee jumping instead.

Two whales are swimming in the ocean when they see a Japanese whaling ship. One whale turns to the other and says "Thats the same ship that killed my son. Lets swim underneath it and use pressure from our blow-hole to capsise it." They capsise the ship and as the sailors are abandoning shi...

A string walks into a bar and sits down above a sign that says 'No strings allowed'.
"Bartender, gimme a beer!" He yells.
"Are you a string?" the bartender asks.
"No." He replies "I'm a frayed knot."

I'd like to go skydiving, but its really expensive - and I'd have to do my first few jumps strapped to some dudes back.

My most watched movies of all time are:

1.Predator
2.Cannonball Run
3.Robocop

I watched these about 300 times each between the ages of 8 and 10

We use Nortons at work, and I have McAfee at home. I prefer McAfee, because I feel its less intrusive - you hardly know its there. If you want a hardcore antivirus app use Antigen, it runs on all our exchange servers and kills everything. I wouldnt even use antivirus at home except that my mum check...

If you guys only knew how many hours I have spent patching clients machines against the MS freakin Blaster virus......

I say hang 'em!
