One for the Tecchies about Linpus Linux
Sorry, only just seen this. I've got the aspire one without the built-in SIM card reader, but i can still use my 3 Mobile dongle with no problems, i just needed a dialing program.. I used the Macles connect program as on the Aspire One Downloads page (I believe it covers most of the Huawei Mobile Dongles). Direct download here: ftp://ftp.acer-euro.com/netbook/aspire_one_110/linux/application/huawei081126.sh.zip - Install Guide: 1. Download the file huawei081126.sh.zip to Aspire one directly. 2. Double click huawei081126.sh.zip, and uncompress the zip file via “Xarchiver”, there should be a new folder named “huawei081126.sh” in the same folder with huawei081126.sh.zip. 3. Go to huawei081126.sh folder and double click huawei081126.sh. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Can't you just view it in the phones' normal web browser. I can view VBulletin stuff on my SE P990i which is ancient (and uses Opera).

TOP GEAR - The one wev'e been waiting for!
Being seeded as we speak: http://www.mininova.org/tor/2775728 -Edit- I will add that i'm not sure about the legality of linking to a TV show torrent (given that we are license payers). If the mods want to remove it then please do so. Also, the torrent has nothing to do with me. I picked it up from http://www.finalgear.com which has links to every episode for Top Gear and Fifth Gear.

Tesco 99 octane
Been using Tesco super unleaded (99ron) for the three years i've owned a zed. Never had a problem and it's always given me decent economy. I guess i'll keep using it until i ever get an issue. There aren't any shell garages near me that have V-Power anyway.

Mobile Broadband
I've been on Pay-as-you-go 3 for probably a year now i think. I live out in the sticks and get anything up to 1.5mbps download. Great stuff. £15 gets me a 3Gb data allowance for 30 days and 500 texts for 90 days. Also have a mobile broadband router to finish it off nicely.

99 spec zed for sale :shock:
Gotta say, not keen on the interior. Would also be interesting to know why it had to have an engine replacement at only 85k miles. Jeff might know, as it's been maintained at ZedWorld.

Anyone work in the telecoms industry?
Thanks. I keep an eye on that site every now and again in case it's updated with some good news. Check out my crappy exchange info: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/EAPRI not many options there methinks!

Anyone work in the telecoms industry?
Okay, thanks for the info. There's only about 200 house in the village, and BT never enabled the exchange due to low demand. Because we have our own exchange, 200 houses is next to nothing. It makes me laugh cause i'm only about 15 miles from Cambridge. I've been using 3g mobile broadband and a 3g router for about a year, and i'm generally pretty happy with it, but recently i've been looking at different options. Just don't want to shell out the cash (because it's quite expensive) and then BT go and enable the exchange!

Anyone work in the telecoms industry?
Need some help on a BT/Telecoms issue. If someone works for BT then great. Can anyone tell me what 21CN PSTN means to a person in the REAL world. I understand that it's a upgrade of the old telephone exchanges from a switched system to an I/P system, but what does this mean to me? Will i actually notice anything? The reason i ask is cause i'm about to upgrade some of my mobile broadband equipment, but don't want to do it if BT are eventually going to provide ADSL broadband via my exchange 6 months after i upgrade. I managed to get a target date of Q4 2009 for the 21CN upgrade out of BT, but other than that, nothing. Am i hoping too much that they will offer broadband after the upgrade?

are thease the right brakes for a 92 NA?
No, the washers aren't a fix or a long-term solution. I fitted them to mine as a temp solution until i could get a spacer fabricated. The spacer needs to be the same surface area as the mating surface between the caliper bracket and hub. The washers would only be a fraction of this. It depends on how much time and effort you want to go to. It would probably be less hassle to just send the discs back and get OEM ones from MJP (or grooved ones from DTA/Smithy) rather than doing the stubborn route like me. "I've bought them so i'll MAKE them fit" hahahahaha

99 spec or original?
hehehe you're probably right. I guess i've just got used to there being nothing there.

99 spec or original?
Smooth is what i'm going for soon. Prefer smooth and the original low-level spoiler to something that obscures my view out of the rear window.

MOT type/legality question...
On an MOT, the lights are tested for - condition, operation, security and correct colour. The headlamps will also be checked to see if the aim is correct. What you're doing will not be checked on the MOT, unless it affects any of the tests above. I guess you won't know the beam pattern until they are fitted though, so you might just have to take a chance. The issue you will have is that you are effectively breaking the E-Marking and type approval of the original headlight design. The only people interested in that is The Department for Transport, as the car is no longer considered road legal. And i'm sure the chances of them finding out (or caring) is pretty small.

copying from youtube to my pc?
Let the whole video buffer to your hard drive. You'll know when it's done, because you'll be able to watch it to the finish. Then just go to your browsers temporary folder (or cache) folder. Organise the files by size. The video you just cached is probably the largest file in there. Just rename the file with .flv at the end of it. Most modern media players should play flv files. If not, use VLC, it'll play everything.
