I dont see the point of those doors. To close them you pull them down and then have swing the door closed like a normal door.

Not to mention possible copyright infringments and subsequent law suites.;)

I got insurance when I was 20, but I had 4 years no claims by then. I think I was with A-Plan first. Try Firebond too.

Just phoned my Dad. Town driving, which he said is stuck in traffic alot, its about 21mpg. Average driving about 25-27mpg. Fast motorway (cruising at 80) he gets about 31-32. It will do more than that if you cruise at 60-70 range.

has any one seen the Mad World advert for gears of War? I have downloaded the high Def version and it is beautiful

My Dad has one of those now. They are a very nice car, and the V6 sounds better than a Z does. Lots of room, very large boot and very comfortable. It can also shift a bit too.

I think most people would be surprised how many games are actually produced in the UK mate. Oh by the way, what platform is that game for? I have looked on the site and I cant see where it says it. Perhaps you could bring that up with the powers that be (If you know who they are)

Processors being overworked does not cause a computer to crash. Bad programming does ;)

Dont forget that Mazda is still in business. That has to account for something.

I have driven my Z in all conditions including ice and snow. Just take your time like you are expected to do if you where driving any other car.

HP for some reason use Maxtor slim hard drives. I have seen loads of these die, they are crap. However, I have 2 Maxtor drives (Normal sized ones) and they are great. One is 5 years old and the other is 3 years and never had a single problem from them

But you have to remember, that your bin will not be emptied if it is too heavy. What happened if the stuff you put in made it too heavy? And with this paying by weight. What is going to stop people putting stuff in your bin making you pay for it? Most people put the bin out the night before, that is all night where some one can put more in. Really the only way to make sure is to run out with it when the bin lorry comes.

have you asked the owners of the car park if there are CCTV cameras of the area?

The reviews of import tuner i have seen say its bad. But you cant always go off what the reviews say

Click start Select run In the run box type 'eventvwr' A screen will appear. Select application and on the right of the screen you see see some icons and text. Scroll down and double click on all the ones where the icon is a red circle. A box will apear with the details of what the error was. Have a quick read, if it doesn not mention HDD or hard drive move on. Dont go too far down the list if it happened recent it will be in the first few pages. If nothing is there click on System, on the left of the screen and again select the red ones again. Find the ones which mentions the Hard drive or HDD, and post it up. Have you done a scan disc?

INvalid? Are they SATA Drives? Try booting in to dos via Windows Recovery Console. Boot up your computer using your Windows Installation CD. When the blue screen has come one and dones all it checks, a menu will appear. I think you press C to get to the recovery console. You should then ahve access to your hard drives.

I love this video, just shows how far games have come and (even though we deny it) how bad some C64 games where. lol

There are hacks for the Xbox, which basically means you can just run PC programs on it. It needs to be chipped and have some microsoft development tool installed on it. I am sure after that PC stuff is just runable. It will stop you going on XBox live though.

I use VICE commodore emulator. It has network play which allows another player over the net to join. Me and my sister spend many hours playing games like Summer Games I and II, California Games, Boulder Dash, Pitstop II, Bozo, Blue Max, Ghostbusters........ I could go on forever.

Good list. THe Saturn was another machine which was better than the competitors but didnt take off for some reason, along with the Jaguar64 and NeoGeo. http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/saturn/ Emulators are at the bottom.

Yeah but PC is not a console. And its only been in the past 10 year or so that the PC has been a good gaming machine. I had a PC for over 20 years and the games in the early years where poor even compaired to the C64 games, and couldn't even come close to Atari ST and Commodore Amiga games. AlFo, look at what is above the PS2 it. There are some MAJOR contributions to the world of console gaming, including the God Father of gaming consoles (Atari), the best selling console EVER (game gear), the first mass production home console (NES) and the first sucessfull 16bit console (MD) I can understand if the MD is else where on other lists. I could only put the PS2 1 place up at the most. Good, classic, but not as important as its forerunners. BigDaveZX, I agree, the Lynx was was amazing, better than anything out there and has only been bettered by the PSP (IMO), but for some reason it didnt take off, so didnt influence the gaming world that much.

With all this talk of game consoles what are your favourite game consoles. it can go back to as far as you want, and just because its got 50 core, bio cell, nuclear power CPU doesn't make it the best. Give reasons why you think that the console is in that place. Here are my thoughts. 1. Sega Mega Drive. Brought arcade quality gaming to the masses, and the best selling console of the 90s and had thousands of games. 2. Nintendo Entertainment System. Really introduced the idea of that every home could have a games console, also the first time I encountered a Joypad not a JoyStick 3. Nintendo Game Boy. Who knew so much fun could be had with a little hand held machine with 4 shades of grey screen. Yes the Game Gear was more powerful and colour screen, but Nintendo made it affordable an compact and sold about 40million units. 4. Atari 2600 I think most of us have played Pong on one of these. The first console to have changeable game cartridges. 5. PS2 I think its performance is highly over rated, but I must admit it did bring consoles up a notch after being stagnant for too long. 6. Xbox 360. Brought consoles in to the High Definition age, a year old and apparently programmers have not got to its full potential. 7. Xbox Responsible for bringing online gaming to the console world. Why did it take so long? 8. Snes The other major console of the early 90s. Its 6 button controller and it really tried to get 3D in to the home console, with its built in texture scaling (used in Mario Kart) and FX (3D) chip (Used in Star Fox) 9. Nintendo Wii Nintendo again, breaks the mould new controllers and user interaction. Again creating games which other platform alternatives can not touch. 10. N64 Often overlooked as it still had cartridge when most moved to CD. The strangest looking controller ever made but probably one of the easiest to use. Again, Nintendo created MUST HAVE games which was only available for it.

I love Zelda. I got hooked playing Ocarina of time on the N64 and at the time I hated the N64 with a passion, so admitting that Ocarina of Time was the best RPG I have ever played and probably in the top 5 games ever made (my top 5) was really hard to admit. This new Zelda looks sweet.

Problem about seeing games side by side now, is you have to have a game which is available for both consoles, and to keep development and costs down, they will design the game to take advantage of neither hardware. This is what happened to most PS2 and Xbox games. Xbox had some advantages over the PS2 but on shared games, the advantage was never implimented to save money and time. Xbox 360 vs PS3, there will never be a clear winner as its virtually impossible to compare. I think that people should go for the one who has the most games which grabs their attention.

There is no evidence that the PS3 is "all that". There has been a lot of coverage about the release, but I have not actaully heard if the PS3 is any good. I have heard about the scaling problem, that it does not recognise some HD TVs and that it can only scale down resolutions.
