analogue is already switched off in most of the uk, if not all.
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;43045731]That's not historical though. Think of all the TV tuners that will be useless now. Perhaps I can sell them to MIPS who probably has a VHF transmitter.[/QUOTE]

Ugh, this is so annoying, I ordered a dell U2713HM and a gtx 780. The 780 comes with 2 free games (Black flag and Arkham origins). Both the monitor and the graphics cards are in stock, HOWEVER after I ordered apparently the vouchers for the 2 games are NOT in stock (no way to check this before you order) so now I have to wait like a week for the vouchers to arrive to them and then they send me the monitor and the graphics card... fucking bullshit
Our local stations are still broadcasting in analog because the mountains make DTV impossible to pull in.
They also mentioned they have no plans to switch over in the near future.

I gave up on Linux after the 20something'th time I was pissed off playing a game of "We updated package XYZ and now your programs don't work LOLOLOLOL"
Also, my video card doesn't have drivers for linux and last I remember, Wine support was a bag of polished ass. I'll stick to bleeding edge...from ten years ago.

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;43045527]What's your shut off date for analogue TV?[/QUOTE]
Shutdown has already begun, only a handfull of channels are there. AFAIK, final shutdown is in 2015.

Try copying them all back and it should ask if you want to skip files already on the device then tick do this for all files.

I was setting up a folder sync anyway, I just didn't want to transfer the huge folder over my tablet's slow ass wifi, a few files will be fine

i should not have googled that
For once we actually got a bit lucky, we bought a new dual handset phone because our old Panasonic TG2512NLM was malfunctioning. (Sometimes you would hear the caller, but that person won't hear you for some reason). Managed to link the secondary phone that was on my desk to the system with success though.

Fucking finally.

• Captures video at 60 fps instead of 62 fps

About damn time.
i wonder why it ever recorded at 62FPS?
I must say I'm pretty excited to try it out when I'm back on NVidia.
I just tried it and turns out they lied. I can't downsample any of my games.
My 3rd monitor should be here Thursday. So excited.

I'm not sure I would recommend this over an actual antivirus suite.
why would you not just use Microsoft Security Essentials with SpyBot
[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;43045092]I thought Essentials was pretty light on the system ?[/QUOTE]
As of April 2013, there are faster alternatives. (There is a November 2013 test but that does not include MSE because it is only testing full commercial suites.)

As you can see here, Avast is much quicker across the board than MSE, with the only slight edge going to Microsoft with a 00.7% decrease in 3D graphics performance when going from MSE to Avast.
Also Avast scores way higher than MSE does in real-world protection tests. (The dotted line going across the horizontal is MSE.)

For these reasons I am continuing to be an Avast user.
(However, [url]http://www.av-test.org/en/home/[/url] reports that Avast is slower on Windows 7 but doesn't seem to go into detail as to why. It reports better protection scores than MSE, however.)
Just ordered a Blackberry Z10.

Even though Kaspersky is clearly superior? Though I can understand if you're already paying for Avast.
[QUOTE=Scot;43048371]Even though Kaspersky is clearly superior? Though I can understand if you're already paying for Avast.[/QUOTE]
Kaspersky is a paid product, Avast free covers the same territory as they don't really test anything other than the antivirus engine; they don't worry about things like firewall or phishing protection or other bells and whistles in those tests.
If someone were to pay for an AV, I would tell them to get Kaspersky based on these tests.
