Win 7 already like Vista has proven to me that it can lick my balls. :)

Seriously if Microsoft are going to continue to build this bullshit admin control into their OS'es I'll happily f**k right off back to XP and OSX. I absolutely refuse to be treated like a computer newbie/moron and have restrictions put on my OS.... and before you fans of 7 get here and tell me to turn some bullshit UAC off (doesn't work anyhow)..... my point is I shouldn't f**kin' have to!!!! :D

you wouldnt like any form of linux then would you. Stick to a mac much more noobish

How is OSX noobish?

If you think it's acceptable that Microsoft want to control what you can or can't do with YOUR OS then that's good for you. Not acceptable to me!

So unticking UAC is to hard for you folks, thats one check box is a real noodle scratcher isnt it.

Maybe you didn't read my post corectly.... Unticking UAC (maybe you're reffering to UAC 'Never Notify' at it's lowest setting) or even running command or .exe as Administator (and I am the Admin) doesn't work, if it did I might not be so pissed about it. The fact that I would have to do this at all is crud!

Error messages stating I don't have necessary permissions. I'm over it and will boot my XP drive now.... :D

I'm a linux engineer so I'm biased, but have you guys ever tried Fedora ? Its one of the best distros out there and has come a long way from when I first started using Slackware back in the late 90's

I dualboot F10 and XP on my asus EEE. the F10 is so much faster, so I use it whenever I don't need to - sadly some things only come with windows drivers so it doesnt have the same level of support as windows, but for a lot of folks its at the stage where they can use it. And its FREE.

And if you don't like unix-like operating systems, there is always the Haiku OS

It's based on BeOS which was a serious player in the multimedia section up until Be Inc folded late 2001 after a disasterous focus shift to 'Internet Appliances' (basically cloud computing and lightweight hardware - they were 8 years too early unfortunately).

Haiku is built from the ground up, is pervasively multithreaded, object oriented and open source (and hence Free). It has the ease of use of MacOS but at this stage is still declared 'alpha' quality but only because the code hasn't been tested on all hardware. So far its pretty much rock solid in everything it does, and very very lean on resources.

I remember when BeOS came out and they had p2-400's and voodoo2 videocards... one of the early demos was to run an openGL cube and superimpose a unique movie file on each face while the cube was rotating... it used I think around 20% cpu due to the super efficient way BeOS deals with media streams...it was way ahead of its time, and while Haiku is a replication of this technology and so doesn't have many 'modern' features, I'm confident the 2nd release of Haiku will be world class. Try it out, even if only on a VMware console and give it a go.

my uac turned off fully, no pop ups at all... im convinced by win 7, it got off to a much better start than the enterprise version of vista ultimate that i have.... i think it was vista ultimate BSoD spec

lol, if Microsoft keep going down this vein and line of thinking, peeps are either gonna head back to XP or like you said, MAC!

some good lol's in this thread atm

UAC is a good thing if ever you've seen my dad on a pc and other complete noobs its something you know we need, not we being me but we being other hopeless users

I'm certainly not someone who needs UAC or will tolerate it.

Steve your not asked to tolerate it just turn it off

As Karl has said its easier for a pro to turn it off than a noob to turn it on

And you know this has come about from the likes of kazaa and bear share mum and dads would download the latest cracked something but they really get a virus

    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
    • Are you telling me I'm going to need a code reader etc to just change the battery when it dies...  Why did I let you talk me into allowing Kate to buy this car lol
