Thankyou.

I have a couple of freeview digiboxes of different brands but the same general firmware/remote layout and they suffer from the age old problem whereby they both respond to the same remote control commands. Am I right in thinking that this is unavoidable, that there is no way to make each machine respond to its respective remote control, save putting one in a drawer, or are there actually ways to cycle remote frequencies with this sort of av equipment? Any input appreciated.

And the writers strike jeapordising the completion of the series is unrelated?

I vote for the final episode too, the greatest moment being just after the end credits.

You'll find that he's actually been legal for a couple of years this side of the atlantic, unless there are some perculiar Scottish laws I'm not aware of. He now however has the opportunity to go out and take advantage of that fact in watering holes. All the best.

Thankyou, I'll look in to it sometime when angry.

They just seem to remind me of the sight of dogs smelling each other's bottoms in the street. It seems to be self agrandising, yet trivialising of human interaction at the same time. I find email and shared interest sites don't generate this response and the aspects of networking sites that relate to shared interest etc seem slightly less vulgar. Not to mention the potential for stalking and fraud. It makes me glad I'm not female, I had some friends round, he logged onto facebook, showed us pictures of his birthday, to which her response was that she felt uncertain whether she wanted pictures of herself online, and I saw the lack of any real control she had over the issue. I also worked with a girl who was stalked online and in reality. Its all just too easy to track down info and pictures of people you knew/had relations with lusted over etc. The fact is that affable pretty girls post pictures of themselves online, and lonely men are often good with computers. I'd say most people have some level of morbid fascination and I won't deny it. Does anyone know how I can use Firefox to block these sites so guests can't subject me to them?

I would say that sagas usually cease to be escapist satisfaction when they reach a certain level of content because they generally become too convoluted or downright self contradicting. Stargate has managed it already, what where did humans come from? Earth, then the Ancients? That said you can still use the 'tax office on Betazed' defense to state that anything can be enjoyable if its well written and played.

I would very much enjoy being passionate with this girl.

This version probably doesn't have the extended version of the fifth film, unlike the newer release. I like 'Beneath,' its a mess but the mutants are great, and its still set in the original timeframe.

Web-browsing, everyday stuff, multitasking. The TV works quite well lounging at medium distance for browsing etc but is too big to sit right in front of, also only 720p.

There are a number of different ways of doing it, the greatest need in this sort of setup is to have the taskbar on the switchable monitor, thus accessable from different places. i plan to get a 17 inch lcd to duplicate or switch the main screen solving the problem. I actually run two cards with 3 displays spread out over 4 screens two monitors lined up against the big hdtv, able to drag across all 3, then the main display switches with an lcd across the room. Its amazing that the setup actually functions at all. It has a distinct 'Mr Universe' quality.

I shall take this advice and turn them down a notch, thankyou. To be honest I'm not sure they're running at the spec the computer says they are anyway. I'd bring them down to 1024 but one of them is on a switch with a 19 inch lcd and the rescailing is obviously god awful. People seem to be a bit unnerved when they see I have a monitor on my bedside table.

To anyone in the know. I'm running a couple of bequeathed 15 inch CRT monitors. Ideally trying to run at 1280 at 75hz to avoid the appalling flashing glare you get at lower rates. When I've input this setting via the graphics card software the monitors quite sensibly blink off and state that the sync is out of range (unless I wack them down to 1024 or 60hz.) Yet Windows seems to let me run them at 1280/75hz via its graphics interface quite happily. My question is whether this is likely to utterly destroy these monitors, or whether I'm simply exceeding the advised limit but they'll actually probably be fine. (Like controlled overclocking.) I mean no one likes being stuck with dud CRT's there appear to be at least 3 in my garden, I have a 21 inch with brightness issues that I'm stuck with etc. Any input appreciated.

I believe Lucas is set to direct the first season then hand the project over. Which is when I expect it to get good.

The most fool proof method is to reduce the data to binary, then carve it into a sizeable rock, bury it underground, alongside instructions about how to build a computer and a pictoral based guide to understanding English for when the various insect based species that survive the downfall of mankind become sentient. Failing that just make sure that you are using Seagate drives rather than Maxtor or Hitachi Deskstar or pretty much anything else. I would still generally feel safer with optical media. I've had two hard drives leave me in the middle of the night with so many of my prized possessions, not even attempting to split them fairly. It leaves one slightly bitter.

It sounds utterly daft but quite possibly fun. Remember they've painted themselves into a corner with Shat, seeing as he is now 13 years older than when his character died, except he could quite easily be written in to an alternative storyline. 'He Must have found a way. If it was that important he must have found a way.' OR perhaps simply to Sybok: 'Let me do something.' That's a thought, what about the return of Sybok, V'ger, combined with the superevolved Tom Paris, the oil slick that killed Tasha Yar and a starring role for Travis Mayweather all set on the planet from 'Spock's Brain.'

yes, substitute, 'won a free laptop' for 'won a free country.'

Yes, the 'brother of the deposed king of Nigeria' thing has been around for about a year now and you'll probably find that its completely automated, or at the least they've emailed the one person that was online when they found the forum, with a round robin with the forum name inserted.

Soylent Green has my vote, along with the Planet of the Apes cycle. Great films made in edgy wartime climate. Much like TV now.

I have to pick out mac users at work before they've wasted half an hour of my time asking about the features of any compuer peripheral before asking the fatal question, 'This will work on my mac won't it?' Hence I keep an eye out for anyone with a wierd beard or rainbow related clothing. Since computers are now synergised with everything and everyone buys something new to plug into it on a weekly basis, I just can't see the point.

He'd generally go on about how dreadful the stories were on account of making so many episodes a year (not entirely ill founded) at the same time as taunting me for not being a bookworm. That said he still thought the Borg were quite impressive (circa 1990 UK terrestrial catching up 4-5 years later.) I would proceed to agree with everything he said blindly whilst proceeding to devour anything Trek related until I discovered Nintendo 64, narcotics and the ability to fail to attract women some years later. Oh yeh, he also found it quite amusing the way I'd mispronounce 'Deforest Kelley' as 'Defrost Kelley.' One weekend returning from holiday after I discovered to my dismay that the VCR had failed to tape Star Trek V due to my father not accounting for daylight savings, we proceeded to rent Star Trek VI as I'd heard it was superior. As Kirk and McCoy were struggling across the frozen plains of Rura Penthe and Bones fell to the ground, he pointed and shouted: 'Look! They've got to Defrost Kelley!'

On that note I did some tests recording two things at once whilst overloading the system by opening about a dozen websites simoultaneously, randomly opening media files franticly dragging windows about and searching for all files containing the letter 'e' and the recordings were ok, so it seems this card's software manages itself effectively.

Is this a dog related spin off? Or are 'f' and 'd' a little too close together?
