What about the Nexus S??

[RichieM]

Am I the only one who thinks RVP should have been sent off in the first half? He didn't make much contact but he made no attempt at the ball and went up with an elbow to Dani Alves.

No I dont think he should have been sent off for that. Yellow card for diving down and rolling about for nothing IMO. RVP did push him so he deserved a yellow and got it. Second one was a nightmare but that was fair enough.

[RichieM]

No way should he have been sent off in the first half.

What about this?

Checking his pulse as he was worried that he was gonna have a heart attack running round without the ball like that. Stress can kill you know.

i9000 galaxy s or Nexus one?

getting a new fone and apart from no radio (which is HUGE) nexus is winning

i have the galaxy s and i must say its the fucking nutz
i hardly ever use it for internet, never send or recieve emails with it, i have absolutley no use for any of the apps, camera isn't great, i never use the bluetooth or wireless connections, i have used the radio on occasion.
but on the plus side the phone is good in it and it is also handy for sending and recieving texts
plus it looks good when you pull it out in a crowd

[Flushdraw]

I suppose you can save pwds, I wouldnt but it's more a preference thing.
Ah I'm just odd on the recycle bin, I generally never use it. It takes up memory and pagefile space.
It's not a huge deal though.

Just doing a bit of a cleanup because laptop is starting to run slowly so trying to tidy is up

Defragged
Ran avast scan
Ran malwarebytes scan
Ran ccleaner and deleted stuff
Will downloading microsoft security essentials and running it conflict with avast/malwarebytes?

Any other recommedations?

Htc desire hd is the best phone on the market imo

[RoadSweeper]

Im looking at getting the nexus one tbh.

Anyone know to get the best value one sim free?

I think the HTC HD is too big.

[nicnicnic]

Sounds like the Pokerstars Big Game will be good next time around. Also, any TV prog that Tony G intends to run can only be a good thing

Back in from a week of snowboarding, Austria is some spot!

Cliffs on the last week as there are 34 pages to catch up on?

[DeadParrot]

yup, sorry that is what I meant

[DeadParrot]

Htc desire hd is the best phone on the market imo

€99 for Galaxy S
€99 for Nexus S
€289 for HTC HD all with upgrade
It's better but it is not €200 better

I have a HTC Desire (regular one) and I bought my Dad the Galaxy S for christmas, IMO the HTC is miles better.

If the HTC isn't an option surely there's no comparison between the Galaxy S and the Nexus S and it'll always be the Nexus S, both made by Samsung but the Nexus will always get the Android updates first.

EDIT: Note I haven't done any research on the topic, but just intuitively that's what I'd think

[ghostface]

Any plumber types in here be able to help?

Just home after being out for 2 hours and boiler is making noises. Its not on tho. Then neighbour knocks and there is loads of water pouring out the overflow pipe under my window (apt block). No water on in my place tho, but when put on mains water tap the boiler stops making noises. Seems like mains water just flowing right thru to the outflow pipe??? Have turned off water at mains coming into my apt and no more water to overflow.

Gonna have issues with management company i'd say to prove whether its my problem in my apartment or a mains issue which they have to pay for, if its a problem at all. Boiler is green before anyone asks

[RasTa]

Get the normal Desire

Lads if you wouldn't mind filling out this very short survey for a college project I'd be grateful. It shouldn't take more than 1 minute, there are only 4 questions. Thanks a mil!

MS security essentials is a must have
fairly low on memory use and catches nearly everything.
You may get some false postives based on avast vault (storing malware sigs it removed)
but you can see that based on location

tbh, windows firewall & MS security essentials plus malwarebytes should cover nearly everything.
ccleaner is just for clearing out rubbish. (scan the registry as well)

yeah you may be right
The lack of radio, sd slot, the vga vs 720p video is giving me pause.
I'm intrigued by the NFC though.

[DeadParrot]

done, no idea about oil prices though

Fucking hell don't know how some people got their licence's seen one of the worst things I've seen on the roads in a long time today.

Was on the bus on my way into town earlier and the bus driver is turning right and swinging out to get in the proper lane, the traffic has piled up because the lights are red in front, some spastic comes up the inside of the bus to try and pass and mounts the foot path to try and manoeuvre around the bus I really couldn't believe it.

If the bus driver didn't hit the brakes he was gonna crash into the car, there was no room in front so was baffled to try and figure out what he was doing. Bus driver opens the door and goes mad at the spastic driver and the spastic tries to make out it was the bus drivers fault

Tony as far as im aware you shouldnt use microsoft security with your other antivirus as i asked that question on my work experience. i know dead parrot knows alot more than me but im just mentioning it as i was only talking about a few weeks ago.

try this antivitus instead of avast as compuvision where i worked swear by it!

they reckon avg and avast use alot of resources where as avira doesnt!!

I read somewhere in the last couple of days that there was only one previous instance of a team losing the home leg in CL knockout stages and overturning it away from home, not sure how accurate that is though.

Over the last few months the roads are absolute death traps!! Standard of driving is seriously down! Today I was on the roundabout and had to slam on due to a car coming straight out, luckily nothing behind me as it was a quiet roundabout.

Three theories - prob a mixture of all

a) People these days have a lot on their minds and aren't concentrating as much.
b) Smart phones - people emailing/texting/interneting while driving.
c) People looking to get crashed into to get claims.

Anyway be safe out there.

Is the spurs game on tv anywhere

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

...

[badugi]

for whoever was watching the galway UKIPT last night.
ruling question- (hardly worth a thread in rulings section) im pretty sure the all in bet should have stood. but he was allowed take his chips back.
i posted last night in bbv but no reply

the norwiegian guy(in stripy beanie hat) hand QQ vs silke JJ.
when silke thought he 3bet raised and the guy in the hat shoved all his chips in while dealer called the floor before floor ruling silkes bet as only a call because he throw in too little chips for a raise.
question is should the others guys bet not stand on the flop? why was he allowed take his chips back over the line. bad ruling imo

[dannydiamond]

Hitch, I heard a brief report on the radio yesterday of some case in Brussels which will have consequences throughout the EU.
The gist of it is that Mothers of children born in Ireland will have a right to residency and a right to work.

I don't have anyother details, had a quick hunt online but found nothing about it.

Thought it might be of interest to you and your wife to be!

RTE2 and UTV, sure you can watch one channel each.

Think it's parents off children born in Ireland.

Any idea where i'd find the details?

[6starpool]

Think it's parents off children born in Ireland.

It is parents of children who are eu citizens, but their parents are not. Children born here though are not automatically entitled to citizenship now though. In HH's case though I presume there will be no issue since the child will be entitled to eu citizenship through him.

[Lord Sir Banter]

Not really, think I heard it on the news yesterday.
