or, phone them from another number and see if you recognise their voice.

If it's unlisted you won't have much chance. and it's not a regular nuisance caller (Checked my sources too) probably someone with a grudge

I saw this robot from another forum and at first watching you get the feeling it's really a human pretending to be a robot. Watch the video a few times and you will see it really is a robot - the creepiest Iv'e ever seen. make sure you watch in 'full screen' then you can see without doubt it is a genuine robot. http://io9.com/this-gyrating-animatronic-doll-will-haunt-your-dreams-1549999006

3 weeks and still not even close to being resolved. Bits of flotsam and jetsam spotted hundreds of miles apart but no one has actually recovered a single piece. That bit puzzles me - if a satellite spots debris, surely it can keep track of it until a ship arrives into the area to pick it up. One piece would confirm it has gone down. They are still putting out contradictory news - it went this way - that way - this speed - slower - faster. The fact still remains that the tracking devices were turned off deliberately and there were 2 people with false passports on board. I am not one for conspiracies but there does seem to be a huge smokescreen going on

So many speculations and theories and conspiracies are now emerging from this (probably) tragic event it's hard to know what to believe. Constant contradictions in information given, make it hard to take a definitive view. I was sure it was hijacked by some terrorist faction to use as a future flying bomb - but what about the passengers If they killed them all, surely at least one would have got a phone message out (as they did in 9/11) Everyone carries a mobile phone these days It was tracked by military radar going in the wrong direction and fishermen said they saw a plane flying low (speculation of flying below normal aviation radar) But then again - what about the passengers. Why did no one call - unless it is a known dead area for mobile phones. The two people on false passports, is it a factor, or coincidence? The black box? it signals in the event of a crash or submersion in water - why has it not been heard? Rolls Royce have tracking systems on every engine they supply, they have huge tracking stations all over the world monitoring the engines status They would know how long it had been flying. So many contradictions or lies or withholding of information What do you think?

Think I was Goody when I first joined many years ago

I've been here for years and years. But, I have changed my name a few times due to altercations with some mods. Never Jamer - he has always been the voice of reason. I am still here and those mods are long gone.

A putty medal for us then :)

Your windscreen would pop up a message obscuring your view of the road saying 'You are not running a genuine Ford engine'

It's beef that has been chipped so that if it strays you can be confirmed as the rightful owner - you can also play copied games with it.

Don't people need 'Escorts' during normal hours then? :)

Good.

I wonder if a cookie only allows me to d/l. I'll put it somewhere else and get back

Hmmm I pressed the 'slow download' button and got it straight away

I have put the book here. You won't be disappointed http://www.fileswap.com/dl/Nu9x6OSxK1/

A long while ago, I posted a link to a 'curry book' that had the base sauce included. I made some from the book and found I didn't need to add anything - it was delicious as it was. I will try find it again for you

he he, That's why I said it. I am confused at the paradox. They eat breath and sh1t like I do and are probably nice people in all they do but yet they feel the need to come tell me about a fairytale in the sky. It's the 'what drives or compels them' thing that I cannot even begin to understand. If I thought they were stupid or slow or even brainwashed then I could feel pity or compassion but these are average good people. I could see this. They were laughing and making jokes with me and general chit chat - but they wanted me to join in their fantasy. A fantasy that doesn't take two minutes to dispel. I don't hold myself up as one who can see the real truth, it's just not logical to me. Is there something in these people that I am lacking - or something in them lacking or extra to how I am built............. There is definitely a difference between me and them but I do not know what it is.

Just had what is usually termed, The God Squad at the door. Two very nice Jehovah witnesses who were friendly polite and not at all pushy. They handed me leaflets and I told them I would read them and they took this as a sign that I was interested. Even so, they left with a friendly wave. I have read the books they gave me and all I could see was utter bunkum - bible quotes at every turn. I'm not here to knock religion, I am aware it helps many people. But, being an atheist, I do wonder what makes rational intelligent people believe enough to want to spend their days knocking on doors 'spreading the word' I can understand that Muslims are indoctrinated from birth and when you are a child, you believe what you are told but Jehovah witnesses baffle me. What is it that normal people will accept without question the word of a God - that was actually written by men. Anyone care to enlighten me.

I like how MD has voted to downgrade my posts because he mis-read them. I was all for not parking in disabled bays but it seems he was in a huff to slag every poster off that he thought disagreed with him.

Amazing really that. It's like buying a car and only being allowed to fill up from one petrol station.

It seems to me, no matter what version of windows you use, eventually it slows down to a crawl and booting takes forever. I turn my PC on in the morning and go make a cup of tea while it starts up. I am using Windows 7 btw but it applies to all versions. I have now found this program (free) and it tells you everything that loads up during the boot Not only that, you can disable everything you like. I would advise caution if you are not sure what you are doing and try disabling things a bit at a time then rebooting but you would be amazed at the crap that has to load every time you boot. Stuff you removed years ago still loads it's drivers. My comp now boots as it did when new - about 12 seconds as opposed to 2 minutes. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx?ocid=fwlink I recommend it.

IVM Answering Attendant Is one I have used (it's all over torrent sites) I set it up with multiple departments ie - press '1' for sales, 2 for inquiries etc but all the calls came through to me. And I could see on the screen which department they thought they were getting through to. One caller wanted to flog me health and safety gear and she was put through to 'purchasing' (me) After a while I got bored of her flannel and told her to f*** of'f She called again and put herself through to management (oops, me again) and asked me if I knew that my purchasing staff were ignorant of the health and safety laws and ignorant to callers. I asked why they were ignorant to callers and she said I was told to f*** off I replied 'well f*** off then' hehehehe

There is software that will do all; this. You will need a modem in your comp though

Also try the Ebook - networking for dummy's It does what it says on the tin It explains linking 2 computers together by twisted pair to making a server drive to wifi and multiple streaming networks. When the kids were at home, I could sit in my garage with me lappy - watch anything I wanted, take control of anything and see whatever the kids were looking at. I extended it to a house webpage where I can control a lot of home automation I have put in, from anywhere in the world. As I speak now, I can see that it is 19 degrees C in my greenhouse, the motorised windows are shut and there has been no need to auto-water my seedlings. The other day, I was watching gypo's sniffing around in my back garden - dirty thieving bastards. Their cards are marked.

Thanks for that, I will get (cough) both software's. Does it make the hard-drive boot-able as the original?
