This sounds like a router config problem to me, often router manufacturers seem to be unsure what to call their products and sometimes call them Hubs, and sometimes even 'ADSL Modems'.
Whatever this is called, it's the box that is between the phone socket and the computer. Try reinstalling the software that came with this box, and doing whatever the instructions say you need to do to tell it to talk to your ADSL provider - which is what it currently seems not to be doing.
Not if you are a 6ft 6 bloke with a sword. It's the longer arms that make the difference.
mmmmmmm - I'm typing with only my right hand.
aaaaaaaaa - I'm typing with only my left hand.
It's an abbreviation for "I need time to think of a convincing reason why I appear to be actually 5ft3, chubby, bald and over 50 rather than 6ft slim, blonde and 30 like I said when we started chatting."
As if my magic, the sitekeeper appeared. Mr Benn had enjoyed his time as a Tosser, and decided to take a dirty PM home as a souvenir to 52 Festive Road.
I'm quite surprised that SH doesn't have either a Newbies forum, alongside the Cafe, LMU and dogging ones, or a very promient FAQ.
This would clear up all the 'what's a munch?', 'vanishing pms', etc threads, and put them where new people could see them, stickied in their own forum. Anyone wanting to 'mentor' could dip into the newies forum and post to their heart's content.
Another East Londoner here... there is the Rios meet now and then, there are London munches, and the Essex Munch is practically in London, but I think there is room for a mini-munch or two to fill the time!
Don't worry, it's safe - it was written by one ot the forum regulars. If you really don't want to download anything I'll do the resizing for you if you like - it only takes a mo!
Use the lovely Avatar resizer program that one of our members wrote.
You do know the Zen is the same size as the iPod mini (which also comes in a range of colours) don't you?
...not that I'm a rabid Apple fan or anything....
The iTunes store has the biggest selection of legal music, and the iTunes software that goes with it is free and will rip your CDs to mp3, it works best if you are using one of Apple's iPods to play the music on too.
Now you're just milking it for laughs!
I was supposed to be a meterologist... ho hum!
Stephen Fry filled out his form for the schools career officer, and wrote in the 'what job would you most like to do' box: School Careers Officer
He later found out that the careers officer had written in the margin next to this 'comedian eh?', and takes great pleasure in the fact that he is probably the only person eve to take the careers officer's advice.
if it's 6 then this can only do 2/3 of a cow at a time!
This does sound like either the power supply or motherboard to me. If it's the power supply, then it's a relatively simple swap.. provided that it's not one of the brands that has a funny shaped or built-in power supply to force you to buy from them and them only. If it;s the motherboard, then buying a new PC is probably the cheapest repair option unless you have a friendly techy type on hand to rebuild the machine from scratch.
The next thing to do is to swap the power supply with a known good one, and see if that brings the machine back to life. If it doesn't, then it's the motherboard.
This isn't a job for the faint-hearted, so if you are not confident with electrics, don't go there. It might be worth getting a quote for a new power supply from a local repair shop.
If the machine is totally dead, then you can stil save the hard drive and put it in your new machine to get your data back - but agin this isn't the sort of thing the average PC user can do. Unless the machine is fairly new (last 2 years or so) then the rest of it is probably too out o date to be worth salvaging.
Ahhh, so THAT's what happened to Milli Vanilli!
That sounds like you've spelt #swingingheaven wrong - if you don't spell it right, the server will happily create #swigingheathen #swingyhoover or #swingingingheaven for you, because that's what you asked it for!
