What parts of 'off-topic' and 'end of discussion' did you fail to understand?

Wow. This "friendly" forum just gets friendlier and friendlier....

I DEMAND DESKTOP PROCESSORS AND PCI-E SLOTS! Then why don't you :roll:[ Link removed by moderator] Oh. I've just noticed that my link's been removed.

Forgive me for steering this thread back on topic... ...but FYI I'm running a 2009 Mac Mini, with two 20 inch screens (1600x1200) connected to the Mini's two video-out ports. When I start Oolite, the game appears on the right-hand screen while the left-hand screen remains black.

Isn't there a list around somewhere with all cat names trademarked by Apple? From there it would be relatively easy to conclude the upcoming upgrade path. "Apple has also registered "Lynx" and "Cougar" as trademarks, though these were allowed to lapse." -- http://en.wi...

Maybe they should re-name it "Mos Eisley"...

I think possibly as one of the few people who has actually read the digital britain report I can safely say that 2Mbit/s minimum that Gordon has set out as the bare minimum is never going to happen, not by any method laid out in the report anyway. When I was living in Guisborough, I helped my neigh...

I was with Virgin when I lived in the NE of England, but here in sunny Sussex, nobody's dug up the roads to lay fibre optic. So we're all operating thru British Telecom's copper wires and telegraph poles. My line had been experiencing intermittent crackling for months now, with an predictable impact...

On Sunday, I put the Mac Mini on eBay with a "Buy it now" price. Sold it today to a guy in Devon. Cool!
