I fucking hate Ronnie O Sullivan.
Compared to some of the fuds you get on a football pitch, at any level, O'Sullivan is like Jesus.

Barry Hearn think he's doing an amazing job.
He's right. I'm not best pleased about the dartsification aspects (whooping idiots in Arsenal shirts)* but it makes the sport money and gets it column inches, and if I had my way everyone would still have a fag during breaks** and a whisky at the table. And there'd be terraces.
* Though, to be fair, I've a well-heeled friend who went to the darts for a few days down south recently and fucking loved it
** Although I am the world's biggest supporter of the smoking ban

Disappointing.
The alternative is what? Refuse to put in seating and expect that a group of SPL chairmen whose clubs mostly paid huge sums to install their own seating will make an exception in the interests of football?

This might seem like a daft question. How much web time would 500mb give you on an iphone/android phone? Are you likely to go over your contract with just that amount?
That's nearly twenty megabytes a day. Web pages are compressed when sent, so the average P&B page (for instance) is about 20-30kb of your allowance. That's roughly 650 page views every day of the month if you're not watching videos; you could probably spend the whole of every day surfing and not hit your limit.

everything seems to be wider and there are more spaces
Could you elaborate? It's not just that your text zooming has been reset or something? Try hitting Control and + or Control and - to see if that helps.

At a guess, you need to find the hard drive called "harddiskvolumeshadow copy", or whatever it is and then find the "Users" folder.
That's a virtual location. It doesn't exist on the disk. he needs to disable shadow copying for shared folders by following the instructions here (ignore the bit about Trend Micro).

Carlsberg Export, for a change. Was on a better deal than wifebeater. I'm not a fan of regular Carlsberg at all, but this is at least bland enough not to make you sick and strong enough not to make you feel you've wasted your money. Still, if I were a Danish customs officer I'd probably be more interested in imports.

A quick search shows that DundeeBarry has 940 green dots, surely that can't be beaten?
I'm surprised it's that low.
It'd be interesting to see how different "team" choices break down in terms of green dots. I'd imagine Dundee would be at the top purely for Barry (although there are a number of funny b*****ds in the first division forum), with either Livi or Celtic at the bottom thanks to the sheer number of total roasters sitting on -300 for both.

Anywhere in Glasgow that sells a world-wide selection of beers bar (no pun intended) Clockwork and Bier Halle? Carry out shops included. Cheers
Peckhams usually has a decent selection of global beers. Until the fucking SNP ruined everything it also sold offsales until midnight, which was excellent.

Ok, my question relates to WiFi. Basically for Nintendo DS Lites you can connect it to the internet. But I tried to connect it to my router (Bt Home Hub 2.0) but it says that the DS can't connect to it and I don't think it supports it. But you can buy USB sticks that plug into the pc/laptop, they're intended for people with wired broadband and it makes it wireless. My question is would that allow me to connect to it?
Doubt it. It'll be a config problem. There's no reason the Home Hub wireless won't work directly.
Either that or is it possible to change the security from WPA to WEP? I have no idea what either means.
Have you followed the guide here?

The CSS isn't loading. Usually a server problem. Hit Ctrl+F5 to reload the page bypassing your cache (might be Shift+F5 on Chrome, not sure).

I've broken my laptop
Dropped it on to the power input socket and can no longer charge the battery. Which is now flat (it only lasted for about 10 mins anyway). The socket has been pushed into the laptop, if that makes sense.
The quick question is, is this fixable? I opened it up before but couldn't get to relevant part.
I assume it's out of warranty? If you want to have a go of opening it up to push the socket back out, download the service manual for the model in question (you'll either get it off the manufacter's website or off Google) and be prepared to keep track of a lot of screws as you remove components trying to get to the socket. Or you could just take it into Kustom or somewhere in the town to see if they'll have a go.

STOP: c00002180registry file failure.
The registry system cannot load the hive \systemroot\system32\config\SOFTWARE or it's log or alternate. It is corrupt absent or not writable.
CRash dump screen.
Is it terminal?
Your registry is corrupt. It's fixable and not that difficult, but there are a fair few steps. Follow the instructions here and take your time. It'll take you a good hour if it's your first time.

An iPod touch question, on safari you see how if you hold it horizontally then it flips over, well is there anyway of stopping this?
Turn on the rotation lock.

Having done ISP technical support, you've been pointed in the right direction. First check it's nothing internal (i.e you daughter downloading movies, next door leeching your wireless). Then check the line if it's DSL (move the router to the master socket). If you're still getting problems, phone them and get BT to check the line. Be aware that in this weather you'll be lucky if it's done by March.

My laptop charger is humped, where's best to get a new one in Glasgow?
Priceless in Tradeston.

Not to be That Guy Who Doesn't Answer The Question, but do you desperately need Microsoft Office? OpenOffice does a good enough job for pretty much anything except heavy use of tables or spreadsheet programming, and doesn't cost anything.

When sitting idle my wee mouse cursor shows the blue swirly thing at uniform periods as if it's running something every 5 seconds or so. It will swirl for a second then be normal then repeat it again every 5 seconds.
What does this mean?
It means there's I/O activity. It could be anything from scanning for viruses to defragmenting the disk to indexing your files to make searches quicker to sending all your passwords to some Russian gangsters. No way of knowing without more details.

Oh I wasn't going to, I went into a computer place today and the guy mumbled something about how they couldn't fix it as it would be connected to the motherboard. Not willing to argue the point when I have zilch knowledge about computers but I did sense he might have been fobbing me off because his English was limited.
So it can possibly be repaired without a return?
If you're out of warranty and willing to give a screwdriver a go then download the service manual for your model (Acers are normally pretty easy to find) and take your time. It should just be a case of getting the keyboard assembly off and then pushing the sockets back into place.

This is a silly question but do you need an HDMI cable for your HD tv to show HD from your PS3 to the screen? I just use the normal scart lead but the picture isnt great when playing dvds.
If you don't use an HDMI cable you won't get an HDMI signal. Simples.

My HTC Legend is making a weird static noise from the speaker. It's as if it's feeding back something, even when i'm not using it for a call.
What's that all about?
Presumably whatever filter prevents the speaker from bleeding into the microphone is broken. Take it back to the shop.
Can anyone tell me if this monitor is a DVI monitor? I'm selling it and somebody asked me it. I ain't got a clue what it means
Is the plug blue or white? Blue is VGA, white is DVI. You can get an adaptor for about two quid anyway.
