2.5" sata

bopdude — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 07:13:35 GMT

As per title, can someone recommend a 2.5" sata drive for my laptop, ideally about 500gig, I've looked on overclockers and seen them for �40.00 ish + �7.00 next day delivery, is that about right or is there a better deal elsewhere ?

TIA

The Smiths

MovedGoalPosts — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 11:36:23 GMT

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.'

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to..'

'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've been expecting you.'

'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good Did you know babies are my specialty?'

'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat !.

After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we start?'

'Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there.'

'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!'

'Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.'

'My, that's a lot!', gasped Mrs. Smith.

'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that.'

'Don't I know it,' said Mrs. Smith quietly.

The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said.

'Oh, my God!' Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.

'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with.'

'She was difficult?' asked Mrs. Smith.

'Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look'

'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.

'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.'

Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?'

'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away.'

'Tripod?'

'Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long.'

Mrs Smith fainted

The UK Is In Deep Trouble

Damien c — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 06:11:52 GMT

The UK is in DEEP trouble...

The population of this country is

approximately 60 million.

32 million are retired.

That leaves 28 million to do the work..

There are 17 million in school or at Universities.

Which leaves 11 million to do the work.

Of this there are 8 million employed by the UK government.

Leaving 3 million to do the work.

1.2 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden, and fighting in Afghanistan .

Which leaves 1.8 million to do the work.

Take from that total the 0.8 million people who work for Local County Councils. And that leaves 1 million to do the work.

At any given time there are 488,000 people in hospitals or claiming Invalidity Benefit.

Leaving 512,000 to do the work.

Now, there are 511,998 people in prisons.

That leaves just two people to do the work.

You and me.

And there you are,

Sitting on your arse,

At your computer, reading jokes.

Is it any wonder that we are in such a mess and that I am stressed out through trying to cope on my own?

Moral Of The Story

Damien c — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:30:44 GMT

A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'

'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. It's full of nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch..

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there...

Windows Phone 7 ready for manufacturers

Ramrod — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:00:05 GMT

Quote:

Microsoft has declared Windows Phone 7 "ready", and started to ship the software to handset makers and networks.

This process, known as release to manufacturing (RTM), means that Microsoft's partners will be able to apply their own tweaks and settings to the Windows Phone 7 operating system in preparation for its launch later this year

Somthing to offend every one

Stu038 — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:42:08 GMT

Number 5 is my favourite :)

A charity single has been released in aid of the Pakistan Flood Relief. It's called, "Raindrops Keep Falling On Ahmed."

Matt Lucas's ex-partner hanged himself this week. Matt is said to be distraught but on a lighter note, he is now the only gay in the village.

There were no survivors from that recent Pakistani Airlines plane that crashed, killing all 152 people on board. Both families are devastated.

Experts are worried about President Obama's mental state after he pledged millions of dollars of aid to Northern Ireland , following the tragedy of Hurricane Higgins.

I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on the train or bus and think "I'm ****in' having that!"

Ramadan is here again. The one time of the year when Muslims cannot eat or drink within the hours of daylight, they just starve. Never has the term, "Not enough hours in the day" been more appropriate.

I got banned from a Muslim clothes shop today. I only asked for a bomber jacket. Touchy bastards!

Just had a call from a charity asking me to donate some of my clothes to the starving people of the world. Told them to " F**k Off". Anyone who fits into my clothes isn't starving!!!

Japanese scientists have now created a digital camera with such a fast speed that it's now possible to take a photograph of a woman with her gob shut.

Man lost in a hot air balloon over Ireland . He looks down and sees a farmer and shouts to him, "Where am I?" The Irish farmer looks up and shouts back "You can't kid me ya b'stard, you're in that feckin basket!"

Paddy is cleaning his rifle and accidentally shoots his wife. He dials 999.
Paddy says "It's my wife, I've accidentally shot her. I've killed her"
Operator "Please calm down sir. Can you first make sure she really is dead?"
CLICK,BANG
Paddy "OK, done that, what next?

DX 11 UNiGiNE benchmark

Do you all remember the heaven benchmark?

http://unigine.com/download/

Well it's been updated and there are now three benchmarks :) on that site.

But the reason I was posting was I was looking at the options on the original heaven one and saw a '3d' option (Which works with some of my old crappy red / green glasses).

Stunning I tell you - bloody stunning.

I love this cop

Bill C — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 07:12:33 GMT

I LOVE THIS COP!
>
> A police motorcycle cop stops a driver for running a red light. The
guy is a real jerk and comes running back to the officer demanding to
know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo! So the officer calmly
tells him of the red light violation. The motorist instantly goes on a
tirade, questioning the officer's ancestry, sexual orientation, etc.,
in rather explicit terms.
>
> The tirade goes on without the officer saying anything.
>
> When he gets done with writing the ticket he puts an "AH" in the
lower right corner of the narrative portion of the ticket. He then
hands it to the 'violator' for his signature. The guy signs the ticket
angrily, and when presented with his copy points to the "AH" and
demands to know what it stands for.
>
> The officer says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll remember that
you're an asshole!"
>
> Two months later they're in court. The 'violator' has such a bad
driving record he is about to lose his license and has hired a lawyer
to represent him. On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man
run the red light. Under cross examination the defense attorney asks;
"Officer is this a reasonable facsimile of the ticket you issued my
client?"
>
> Officer responds, "Yes, sir, that is the defendant's copy, his
signature and mine, same number at the top.
>
> Lawyer: "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this
ticket you don't normally make?"
>
> "Yes, sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an
"AH," underlined."
>
> "What does the "AH" stand for, officer?"
>
> "Aggressive and hostile, Sir."
>
> "Aggressive and hostile?"
>
> "Yes, Sir?
>
> "Officer, are you sure it doesn't stand for Asshole?"
>
> "Well, Sir, ...You know your client better than I do!"
