    Dropped my labtop the other day and the whole screen is bust. There's no visible crack but clearly damage was done. Anyone know any place that fixes screens in town and how much would it be setting me back? Cheers.

      Anyone whose on twitter should follow Mick Fitzgerald, @mickfitzg on there. Puts the odd horse tip up maybe once a week but they always seem to come in.

        Someone or something somewhere is having a right fucking laugh.

        I try to be good and give up the nags (and drink) for Jan. Get three tips over the last three days and they all win. Course I'm not on. It would drive you to drink.

          Anyone know if it's possible to block calls from a specific number? Phone is an iphone4 and the service provider is vodafone, who have been of no help!

                      Well Gullivers Travels has Jack Black in it so I'd rule that out immediately...

                            1k max???? since when is that the max, fairly sure mine is around 10k a month (not that i use it ever)

                                    Tron Legacy/127 Hours/The King Speech is suppose to be decent

                                    Its kind of a funny story looks solid, ionapaul said Love and other Drugs was decent even for a bloke and I think The Way Back could be good, Next 3 Days you could probably just wait till DVD.

                                    Would avoid Little Fockers and Gullivers Travels plus Season of the Witch.

                                              What is this about? I've seen people mention it, but I've never heard of it. Non spoilers obv, please. In case you are amazed I haven't heard of it, I've just returned from a country where unstoppable (the Denzel Washington film) has just opened yesterday in the cinemas.

                                                    I bought a new Sony Bravia a few months ago and a few days ago bought a HDMI to HDMI cable.

                                                    I plugged it into my lapper (Toshiba Satellite) and it worked fine.

                                                    Then last night I plugged it in and turned the tv to the HDMI setting and nothing.

                                                    I tried using a forced detection on my lapper and it wouldnt detect any output.

                                                    Anyone able to help me on this one??

                                                      Nope but I'm having the exact same problem, have you tried a different cable? Mine used to work fine, there is not a lot of messing about you can do sadly.

                                                      Mines an older Bravia 40W5500

                                                      Edit - try this

                                                      Is there a key on your laptop to enable enable TV-Out, possible one of your F keys, if so try pressing FN & the F key

                                                        Site is running painstakingly slow and not loads pages.

                                                        Downtown trying manually forcing it by going into something like Control Panel/Display/settings. You should find something like set to dual or main monitor or something along those lines.

                                                          Just got a call from a company claiming they work for windows and that my pc is full of viruses and that they want me to give them access to my pc so they can show me the problem.

                                                          I am highly suspicios of this and would appreciate your advice.
                                                          They sound african and indian.


                                                          Thanks

                                                          Send on Dom and Kev's number to them.


                                                          Cheers.

                                                                I meant from €1k max. When i signed up i was only allowed to move €1k as a combo of deposits/withdrawls until i provided proof/ID and once i provided them with all the info they needed it got increased to €5k and it's now €6k p.m afair

In case you are amazed I haven't heard of it, I've just returned from a country where unstoppable (the Denzel Washington film) has just opened yesterday in the cinemas.

                                                                      was out all day seems to be working ok now. i'll run the memtest in a bit probably. popup came up in chrome that the user settings file was corrupt.

                                                                                        The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the Times.
                                                                                        Dear Sir,

                                                                                        I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my Pension, an arrangement, which, I admit, has been in place for only thirty eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account £30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.

                                                                                        My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, but when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan payments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank by cheque, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be aware that it is an offence under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope.

                                                                                        Please find attached an Application Contact Status which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Solicitor, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, I will issue your employee with PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows:

                                                                                        1. To make an appointment to see me.

                                                                                        3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.

                                                                                        5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
                                                                                        6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.
                                                                                        7. To leave a message on my computer (a password to access my computer is required.
                                                                                        A password will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorized Contact.)

                                                                                        9. To make a general complaint or inquiry, the contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.

                                                                                        Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.

                                                                                        May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year.

                                                                                                  Just thinking it could also be impending hard disk failure. I'd suggest taking a backup of everything on it ASAP. and as ElShambo said, run chkdsk. If it's a memory problem and one file has become corrupt, then others might have too.

                                                                                                  previous problem caused a bluescreen which I also fixed with chkdsk
                                                                                                  Generally they wouldn't cause a problem per se, it's more like they expose an existing problem that you might not have noticed otherwise, by doing lots of I/O operations during the installation.
