Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Well... I think the ones concern are particularly dodgy... the ones with FREE FREE FREE.....

I am not a Mac person... I don't own a Mac personally, but I use one at home, I fix them and use them at work... And I must say that I would prefer to use one any day... Except... I can't play games real well though. But If I had the money... Mac Pro dual boot XP and OSX.

TimC, don't get paid a dime from M$.... probably bloody should

Not meant as an attack on Macs at all... just a heads up for people .... and a gentle reminder to the MacSnobs that ... yes even Macs are/can be virus attacked and yes just like M$ they can suffer from rushed releases and faults....

I quite like Macs... but not to the level of hype that the MacAfficiandos continually bleat about....

To my mind there is no longer a substantive case or advantage sufficient to warrant the price differential or to make the case to change.

Is leopard better than Vista.... from what I've seen in terms of ease of upgrade and stability.... maybe.... in terms of whizzbang features....

Well neither frankly does much for me at all over previous versions...

Whereas I must say I really am warming to the new release of Ubuntu 7 as a user desktop system....

Or a mac and a PS3

One step ahead of you Steve.....

But seriously I was only stirring you up Rupe.... I am firmly sticking with XP though... And work is following suite as long as possible. We have to buy all our new computers for next year quite soon because we need to buy the XP licences before they stop selling them.

I agree Ubuntu is definitely the way to go. The features that come in this FREE operating system is stacks better than Vista and OSX can offer. Couple that with OpenOffice, firefox and game emulation... Perfect system that runs lean and efficient.

I am having a bit of trouble....

Some whacko bit of software ... virus or trojan keeps adding a load of bup files to my quarantine directory.

I have ran adaware, spybot, norton, macafee and avg all to no avail.

Anyone had this problem?

Any ideas?

J7, have you been using Nero to burn DVDs???

A "bup" file is typically a file extension used when Nero backsup the *.ifo files on a DVD

TimC,

what games you playing atm mate? An dwhat are you waiting for?

Personally im hanging out for warhammer online, being a big daoc fan


springa

I am so over WH Online.... I have been waiting for that come out for so long...I don't have the time now to warrant a subscription game. Have you ever played the Games Workshop tabletop games... I have a good couple of grands worth of miniatures at my place. They've got enough of my money...

PC - I am a FPS fan... FarCry, CS:S, HalfLife2, COD3&4, F.E.A.R, Battlefield 2, BF2142 and the long awaited CRYSIS... that game is going to kick some serious proverbial ass.

I just bought a PS3, not good when I am trying to study for exams. Passed Resistance: fall of man coop in medium, took a good 30 hours. Trying it in hard. Want to get Call of Duty 4 soon and NFS: Pro Street.

have you taken advantage of the downloadable playable demos? my little bro had downloads GIGS worth. he's playing COD atm, had pre booked assasins creed and will be there at opening time is also salivating over MGS4

You guys ever considered drugs might be a healthier pastime ... and less addictive and less expensive

should we expect a "war on games consoles" if you get elected? prolly just about as winnable as the other pseudo wars

Yeah I have downloaded a few demos... We have to upgrade to ADSL2+ soon. It just takes too long on 1.5....

I have installed Ubuntu on the PS3 as well. Use it as a media server, going to see if I can get a USB capture card to work= taping stuff...

I bought it more for the bluray... Get Kingdom of Heaven: Directors Cut... If you have a Full-HD tv you will see everything, the individual fibres on their clothes to the make-up and the scratches on the swords.

I do use nero but have not used it for ages.

I cleared the quarantine file this evening and within an hour had over three thousand bup files sitting in there.

Some hidden prgram writes them into the quarantine file.

yeh,dave (my bro) is using it on dads 1080i plasma. have played heavenly sword, darkness, COD, hot night imports, NFS so far and watched the tokyo game show demo of MGS4...............incredible

He's got it connected wireless back to his optusnet cable in his room. am peaking to install an os on it and see what it can do. He's already got a media MIVX that he's using atm but i could convince him to do the OS thing becasue the MIVX only has component out......... He even bought a 3 port HDMI switcher....................
