  1. Maybe it's time a few people got together and started their own petition.....

     

    "The people of the United Kingdom have spoken in the EU Referendum, Parliament must NOT allow a second referendum, and article 50 should be invoked immediately.

    Any MP voting or campaigning against the wishes of the majority should be stripped of their Parliamentary position"

     

    You need 5 email addresses of supporters to start it, I'd do it myself, but I'm outside the UK, and if it did take off, then that wouldn't look good.

  2. Sounds to good to be true doesn't it, but it's not  :Thumbs-Up:

     

    I had a dodgy version of 7 running on both my laptop and my desktop, and I wanted to upgrade both to 10.

     

    Both systems showed they were ready to upgrade, but neither would pass the upgrade test, but then a search for information came up with this little gem.....

     

    https://softwaregeeks.co.uk/product/windows-7-professional-product-key-label-coa/

     

    Feeling a bit dubious, I bought one to start with, then tried the upgrade..... HOLY COW ! it worked first time with no problems  :Thumbs-Up:

     

    So I bought another, and decided to try a fresh full install of 10 using the 7 key, WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! I now have two computers running LEGITIMATE licensed copies of Windows 10, for only 40 quid  :Happy_32:

     

    :Cool_32:

  3. t's all over the news, but you can't read it in the UK........


     


    Celeb couple shagging around, threesomes etc......

  4. Anyone else lashed out a wad on one of these ?

     

    I just bought the latest DJi Phantom 4, €1599   :Cool_32:

     

    I've been toying with the idea of buying one for a while now, but was finally convinced after seeing a friend flying his older one, and decided to take the plunge.

     

    This thing has dual Inertial Navigation Systems, GPS and GLONASS (the Russian version of GPS), Collision Avoidance, and a whole host of other shit I haven't even started to discover yet, but one thing really sets it apart from some of the cheaper crap you hear about, and see reports of in the papers when they fly too close to airports etc...... there's a regularly updated list of worldwide No Fly and Restricted Fly zones on the website, and this stops you becoming one of the idiots, as the drone will turn away and come home from a restricted area, unless you have registered a flight plan up to 3 days before, it will also refuse to take off within a No Fly zone, and will even land and shut off it's motors automatically without you having a chance to overide it, if you should stray into a No Fly zone at any time.

     

    I tested this, as the bottom of my street actually falls just within the Restricted Zone for Bremen Airport (1 mile from the centre of the main runway), I flew towards it at 500 ft (NOT ON THE FLIGHTPATH, at 90 degrees to it), just as I got close, I received a warning on the tablet screen that I was about to enter a restricted area, I kept going, the drone then took control automatically, descended to 120ft avoiding trees and houses, and flew out of the area, another warning then came up on the screen that I had to register a flight plan 3 days before I could proceed. My only option was to come away from the zone, or to land, I had no other control available to me.

     

    I'm really enjoying this thing, not to mention the quality of the video..... 4K..... it's awesome  banana.gif
  5. Can someone PLEASE download me this video in the highest resolution possible, as quickly as possible, there's only a few hours left till it's taken down...... and I don't have the time or the connections here in Germany to do it myself  :Sad_32: 

    PLEASE

     

    PLEASE

     

    PLEASE

     

    PLEASE

     

    PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON THE TOP

  6. Reminded me that I haven't seen Minder for years, so I'm currently downloading all the episodes and films  :Cool_32:

     

    I'll start watching them as soon as I'm through the remaining 42 episodes of The Equaliser, and 87 episodes of Callan  :Happy_32:

  7. In all honesty mate, for 100-200 you're not going to get anything that's any good, both in terms of picture quality and reliability !

    I'd be more inclined to spend the money putting a gate in, and keep it in your own yard.

  8. For years I've telling any of my friends that would listen, that the way forward is solar charges battery supplies.

     

    The biggest consumer of power in a home is lighting, followed by heating/cooking, all of which can be run from DC with no alteration to the normal electrical system in the house.

     

    It's only full on electronics that need AC, and inverters can provide the level of power needed by these quite easily.

  9. Well it looks like things are finally improving for me.
    I've been working the winter season with the entertainment contract at a restaurant / bar / club at a ski resort in Sweden (totty a plenty), and I've now been asked if I want to take on the whole place next season 0152.gif

    I'm up for it, I can take loadsa money off those brain dead braying ski donkeys 0152.gif

    This is the place: https://www.facebook.com/Hovfjallsrestaurangen?fref=ts
     

    And it's situated here: www.hovfjallet.se

    Got everything else sorted out, and now I just have to pass the Swedish Alcohol Law exam, then I'm taking over the place from 31st May.

  10. Right guys, thanks for the comments and info, but I was basically told by a games and app designer NOT to go with that Mac, as it's next to useless for the job.

     

    Various reasons including that ANYTHING Retina screened is not suitable for the software the guy will use, and that the model in question was low spec on the video anyway, i.e. graphics run by the CPU. Also, cloud based stuff is pointless for these applications as it slows the computer down drastically, if he has to move large files around he will be limited to the speed of his internet connection.

     

    We went out and got this little beaut instead on his recomendation
