Hi Guys, i've got a power supply (one of those black plugs with a lead plugs into the mains) that has an output of 12v (which i need) and a current of 1.25A (which i dont need) the device i'm powering requires 0.4 A. The devices last power supply actually outputted 0.8A, Could a hike to 1.25 be toooo much and if so, how do i get the 1.25A down to 0.4, me thinks i need something in the +ve wire, like a resistor?. Been far to long since i did electronics as a BAe apprentice... Any one help? Thanks R

Hey Guys, I am interested in a private number plate that this guy has on his car. I am interested in buying the number plate and we have come to an agreement. However i have no idea how these things work, what is the process by which the number plate will be transfered? Would it be transfered to my name or my car? Could someone with more knowledge please advice me on this?? Also is there anything i need to check before i purchase from the guy?? Security stuff?

Everyone must be aware that Sony had a load (millions) of email addresses and passwords nicked and I know of several other sites this has happened to. Now, if these are then being sold on to criminals there is some basic security you should take to protect yourselves DO NOT, like I have done (but not any more ), have the same password for everything associated with your email address. Change it by adding one to a number for example Password1, Password2 etc for each different site or use A, B, C as a suffix to make each one unique. Just never forget the people are after your hard earned dosh just by using their computers. Don't let them get it ! Stay s…

Anyone else planning on going this year? I'm most likely going to be there for Sunday the 3rd with some friends. Every time I go, I make sure my Z is spotless. Always seems such a shame to leave it in the car park field. Can't have a Goodwood thread without pictures. Here's a handful from my trip in '08.

I could do with a couple of rooms skimming if anyone fancies doing it? :) Northwest, near lancaster! Otherwise what sort of money will it be to get it done? Its a single bedroom and a double bedroom for now. All the plaster is still intact its just original and full of bits of holes and filler etc. I was going to cover it in lining paper and paint it. but I think it would just be easier to get it plastered and then paint it? Or does anyone else have any better suggestions? Cheers Guys

I don't know how many of you have already seen my facebook status but i thought i would ask you all to just take care on the roads. Early this morning on my way to Gloucester i was driving along the A436 when i heard a bang and then this awful scraping sound, so i stopped. As i looked my brake lights were lighting up a white car in the trees the other side of the road. now there were no lights on on this car but i could see it was badly damaged so thought i'd best check it out. As i approached it i could smell hot oil and sure enough trapped inside was the driver,a car pulled up and the young bloke got out but didn't want to approach the car but called for …

Just supping on some proper italian dark roask made with an old school italian coffee maker... sooo nice. I tried some of that new microgranule instant stuff and while it is definately better than your average nescafe, it still doesn't have the richness and depth of flavour of the proper stuff. I am however ashamed to say that i like coffee whitener (coffee mate or tesco equivilent) as opposed to milk as i find it makes it far more creamy. My missus has earl grey all the time. what about you tea or coffee?

Thought Sony was supposed to have fixed this; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13636704

I had a dental appointment :tooth: this afternoon and shortly after leaving work I spotted a panda car parked facing the other way. I joined the motorway and flew for about 2/3rds of a mile and then got held up and was travelling at about 70mph. Noticed in my rear view a white vehicle with headlights on and it was gaining very rapidly :nono: Yes it was the same rozzers vehicle I had seen about 3 minutes earlier. Pulled in on the hard shoulder :confused1: Officer came to my passenger side and I expected him to have a word about my speeding - perhaps, although I was not sure what he wanted. Turns out all the fuss, blues and twos was because my front number plate…
