All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

what are the chances of a dodge DVD rom causing problems when not using a CD ect?

my PC was running painfully slow tonight all of a sudden. I unplugged my DVD rom to reconnect my spare HD to back up and it is running fine with out it......

either that or i'm going crazy

come to think about it, it may also have something to do with disconnecting my second monitor

lol kralster..

The beauty of instant email notification that quotes the posts text. :mrt:

With regards to dvd ide slow down; I've never seen anything of the like unless the dvd drive is being accessed and it has dropped back to PIO transfer. If the drive is idling you 'shouldn't' see any performance decrease regardless. But nothing is ever really certain. There's many hardware combinations etc.

Maybe the reset fixed a few loose ends so to speak. :)

So i'm thinking of buying a new mac book pro.

What do people think?

The one i'm looking at runs a core 2 duo intel chip, geforece 8600 chip, 2 gig or ram and what not.

And i really only want it for media based stuff, and surfing the web. I'm pretty much sick of windows. Plus i have my brothers computer for games. And i have almost every other console under the sun. So i'm not buying it with the intention of using it as a games computer.

I know they do cost a lot of money compared to a windows based laptop eqivelent. but i really like the look of the new mac book.

Also it will be bought for use at work as well so it will be salary scarificed so in the end the total cost won't be as bad.

Also everyone needs to download the new MGS4 english trailer. looks freaking good.

And i'm not entirely convinced that you will play as David Hayter (solid snake) in this one, from some little interesting things i've seen the trailer.

Well i guess in theory you could, but you'd have to format a drive using the correct file system and all that.

Plus steve jobs said you will never see a mac OS "legally" run on a pc.

If you've seen a new macbook you'll appreciate how muc thought has gone into them. Just the design of the actual laptop, the way it is silent as there are no fans (not that i could here anyway)

But thanks for the imput im interested in what people say.

The Macs are actually quite nice.

If I was going to spend the $$ on a laptop a mac it would be.

Home PC, windowz purely due to software/games thats available.

MacOSX doesn't work all that good on PC. I've had it running on an all intel system fairly well but there's still the odd little hickup.

Good to become familiar with the system or trouble shooting help etc but anymore and I wouldn't bother.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
