Windows 7
Ah! Been using windows 7 now since it was released in beta format and can safely say it's one of the best OS's I've used. I personally have never had the black screen of death! But as the reports say it is caused by malware so as long as you install decent antivirus (i use the free one Microsoft offer, see my other topic "Microsoft gives away I.Sâ€) you shouldn't have any problems.

Electric Cars
Yes! 18p per kwh, thats £8 quid for eight hours to charge over night! £1500 for the home charger! But realy you get stung like that with petrol and diesel cars, (£50 for floor mats!) and its a one off payment and would have pay for its self in less than a year! This is a very good idea instead of being stung for a new battery every 50,000 miles, however you do get the opion to opt out and buy the battery! The electric car is non polluting and very efficent, how the power is generated is another conversation. How can you say £115 quid a month is expensive? Even with the £100 lease of the battery!

Electric Cars
the range is about 160 to 230 depending on your wallet! we have approx ten years before oil levels fall below international demand! (according to bp!) I beg to differ!

WHAT! Donation! what you think this is banardo's or somit! they get enough from taxes to pay for these things! heres a mad idea! i saw on the telly a few nights ago this small town next to a big wind farm and instead of moaning like most do, they approached the developers and bought a windturbine for themselves. now the windturbine makes the town a heap of money i think it was something like 190,000 pounds a year from selling the leccy back to the grid! so whats stopping beddlington doing something like that? before someone says "but they cost loads of money" the town borrowed the 2million and the money the turbine makes is split between the debt and the town!

Streaming Video
how longs your extension like? i was told by "pc world head tech" that your extension should be no more than 10 metres from the filter or wall socket or you start getting problems like lost or damaged packets! these can slow down your internet but not to that extent! probably worth ringing your provider and get them telt about there !*!@# speeds! do you have a cap on downloads? you might have exceeded your monthly max download limit and your internet speed has been restricted. as i once found out when i was with eclipse! thinkbroadband.com do a downloadable app that tells you a load stuff like speeds, download size etc

just something i found! Problem #1: Choppy PC Video Playback--Choppy video is usually a PC performance related issue. Here are a few things you can try to stop choppy playback and improve computer performance. Solution A. Turn Off Hardware Acceleration-All media applications require different aspects of your computer's hardware. Depending on the task, the requirements may change. Turning off hardware acceleration allows the application to set the requirements itself and not be forced to use one universal setting. Hardware acceleration has been to known to cause choppy PC playback, application crashes and slow streaming video problems. You can eliminate the problem below: 1.Click on "Start" 2.Click "Control Panel" 3.Select the "Settings" tab and click on the "Advanced". 4.Click on the "Troubleshoot" tab. 5.Disable the hardware acceleration completely by dragging the slider to the extreme left. Solution B. Turn off Video Acceleration-The reason for this tweak is the similar to hardware acceleration. This act frees up resources in your media player and not your hardware. However you will need to decrease video acceleration in your chosen player. Some sites like Youtube.com don't offer this option. However, Windows Media Player gives the ability to easily alter this problem, follow the steps below. Other players' instructions will vary. 1. In Windows Media Player 2. Click the "Tools" menu tab 3. Click on "Options" 4. Select the "Performance" tab. 5. Move the Video Acceleration Slider to "None" Solution C. Adjust your Windows Desktop Visual Effects-You computer will get a significance boost in speed. This tweak will also free up more resources for your media player and PC performance. 1.Click "Start", and then click "Control Panel". 2.Click "System" and Choose "Display". 3.Find the "Advanced" tab and Click 4.Under "Performance", Click "Settings" 5.Under "Visuals Effects", you may choose from a list of options such as "Adjust for best performance" or custom. If you choose Adjust for best performance all the features will be unchecked. For more performance tips check the "Speed Up PC" to free up more resources to stop PC choppy playback. Problem #2: Slow and Constant Buffering-This problem can be attributed to two factors internet speed and your media player. You can tweak your PC setting in both areas to cut down on slow streaming video. Remember that each player has its own buffer settings. Below is an how to change buffer setting in Media Player. Solution A. Adjust Buffer Settings-- To change the default buffer settings in Windows Media Player, use the following steps: 1.Start Windows Media Player 2.Click the "View" men 3.Click "Options" 4.On the "Advanced" tab, click "Streaming Media"(Windows Media) 5.Click "Change" to alter the buffer settings. Remember that the higher you set the buffer the more of the clip will be loaded. The waiting time before you can see or hear the file will be longer, but there should be fewer interruptions once the clip begins to play.
