Dabs is offering home premium of windows 7 for £64.99 as a pre order. Really think I might just get my dad to buy it for me and give him my Vista.

wouldn't know, only used vista very briefly. if vista is working for you I dont think I'd change, I only tried windows 7 cause xp was starting to get boring and I had a copy laying around and it was time for a format. so yeah I wouldn't change from vista if it works until windows 7 actually comes out =]

Wimdows 7 is supposed to be as fast as XP with the functionality of Vista. So up for MOAR RAM + SPEED.

Can anyone recommend Call of Juarez to me? I've played the demo a few times and I'm liking it. Does anyone have the game?
Havent got the game, or played it, or heard of it but I could recommend it. I could recommend anything.
What would you like me to recommend you?

A phrase that is believed to have first been used in the town of Blackwood, South Wales by boy racers cruising up and down the high street to get the attention of good looking female members of the population.
"Get Your Rat Out" literally means expose your Vagina or Vulva. In the late 1990's it became apparent that "Excuse me Madame, but would you mind showing me your vaginal opening, only I'm rather fond of you and all that" was no longer acceptable, hence a much shorter phrase was required. Recently, since 2004 "Get Your Rat Out" has been shortened to just "Rat Out". Academics have theorised that within the next 5 years this will be shortened to just "Rat", as motor vehicles become faster thus making it more difficult for one to shout “Rat Out” whilst passing some rather delicious ladies.
"Oi Love! Get Your Rat Out!"

I got my macbook pro yesterday, and now 24 hours later I left it at home frozen, and not responding to anything. How did that happen? If I switch it off and turn it on again, it will be in the exact same state. This makes me hate arrogant mac users even more, because I finally took their word for it that macs never crash and got myself one.
I guess I might have helped the process by tampering with the terminal when I was trying to get around the Adobe CS4 registration shit.

lol I had the same problem, it's very frustrating.
What you need to do is use your installation discs and hold down some keys or some shit. it's really easy just takes a disc a few mins on the phone with a very reassuring fellow who isn't judging you for your ignorance.
call up the apple help, macs are pretty ill still cause whenever shit fucks up mac has an option that says "want help?" and I'm so used to computers making me do everything I never use it. Use that button, I finally did and mac basiclly says "take a rest homie, let mac take care of this one, we'll run some tests and just push some buttons go make a sandwich."

Yeah I got as far as trying that quickly before leaving the house (inserting the disc and pressing C while starting up), but I think it only gave me the option to 're-install mac osx', so I was thinking of just copying what little I had on the HD on to an ext HD and just re-installing the OS.

So, you're in love with one of your friends, but she has a boyfriend and probably wouldn't have sex with you anyway. What you will need: 1 x knife, 1 x ring, access to a sunbed, the ability to grow a beard.
Step One: Place the ring on your wedding finger and avoid contact with your friend for a month.
Step Two: Stop shaving and use the sunbed to gain a tan.
Step Three: After a month when your beard is full and your tan is noticeable, remove the ring from your finger.
Step Four: Remove all your clothes and break into your friend's house.
Step Five: Use the knife to cut your body in various places. Avoid the face. If possible, focus on your back. The more blood the better.
Step Six: Enter your friend's bedroom and lie face down on the floor. Wait for her return.
Step Seven: When she enters the room pretend to be unconscious. Allow her to turn you over and try to wake you for a few seconds before you open your eyes. The injuries to your body will serve as a distraction to your nakedness. She will be more concerned about your wellbeing instead of fearing the naked man in her room.
Step Eight: When she asks you what's happened you should ignore her questions. Instead you must act confused and ask the date. If it's September 15th she will say 'September 15th' to which you must reply 'No, what year is it?'
Step Nine: Upon hearing the year say the words 'It worked.' Pretend to lose consciousness again for a few seconds, implying that whatever it is that has worked took a great effort.
Step Ten: If your friend is a curious person she will probably ask 'What worked?', even if she doesn't ask this question it is important that you now say the words '(Insert Friend's Name), I'm from the future' in your most deadpan voice.
Step Eleven: Pause for ten seconds to allow the incrediblness of the situation to sink in. There will be no reason for her to doubt your claim, because your beard will make you appear many years older and your cuts would add weight to the idea that you've come from a post-apocalyptic future where a war is currently taking place.
Step Twelve: Raise your left hand to your face. All women are very observant, so your friend will immediately notice the tanline on your wedding finger. If she is educated to a decent standard she will realise that you are married and your ring has simply disappeared, because clothing and other items cannot travel through time. Your nudity will support this.
Step Thirteen: Now comes the hard part - The monologue. In your own words you must give a speech in which you mention all of these key points:
a) You are married to each other in the future
b) Her current boyfriend is dead
c) The world is coming to an end. It's up to you to pick a reason, but I would recommend a war against machines. This whole situation will be backed up by the Terminator franchise
d) In the future your relationship is not going well
e) You've come back in time because you can't help but feel that she would have been happier with her current boyfriend if he hadn't been killed
f) Her current boyfriend is going to be hit by a bus on a day six months from her present. She should stop him going to work that day
g) If she does exactly what you say this current version of yourself will be erased and you will never get married. If she questions this flaw in your time travel logic, because you cannot change the past, simply reference Back to the Future
Step Fourteen: Unless your friend is made of stone she will now be overcome by emotion, especially at your selflessness. Get to your feet and go to kiss her goodbye. It is important that you do this with the confidence of a man who has done this to her many times.
Step Fifteen: There is now no possible way that you aren't about to have sex with her. You're naked, kissing her, in her bedroom, agreeing to erase a version of yourself from history to make her happy. And as far as she knows you've had sex many times in a future that will no longer happen, so she thinks to herself that maybe she should have one memory of it.
Step Sixteen: After having the sex, ask to borrow some clothes then leave.
Step Seventeen: Shave off your beard and coat your wedding finger in fake tan. Carry on as if nothing has happened.
Step One: Place the ring on your wedding finger and avoid contact with your friend for a month.
Step Two: Stop shaving and use the sunbed to gain a tan.

Yeah, turned out I didn't even have to re-install anything. I just repaired the hard drrive with the MacOSX disc and it was as good as new. But now my Adobe softwares are under the 30 day trial again so I need to get around that somehow.. :/
