I always welcome a reinstall - it is something I get pleasure in doing. I'll give it 24 hours - if I can't find the disc, I'll copy the current set up across.

Bookmarked for Future reference. Thanks to a generous forum member (who shall remain nameless) I have a legit full copy of Win7 Ultimate. It was used on my desktop, but since that went "boom" I may choose to put it on the SSD I'm planning to buy when I upgrade my laptop. The other option is to clone the existing Win7 installation as Sony never provided an OS disk for my laptop. I'm assuming Windows would auto detect all the drivers etc if I went for a fresh install. Not sure what I'd do about the BluRay playing software though as that was free from Sony.

Are you not able to redownload it from the Sony website? This is something I do for all drivers and appropriate applications - make sure I have the most up to date versions saved and then when I plan to do the reinstall, I'll have everything ready.

For the past few days, I've been getting FB status updates off two people. This is despite me not logging in to FB for at least 3-4 years! Why am I getting them now?!?!?

Pop in the service tag and it should list the latest drivers applicable to that laptop.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Every time Facebook change their options list, they assumes you want to be notified of things, even though you've previously taken the time to change your settings to the contrary.

Wasn't sure if this should go in a movie thread or not. I figured not really. Anyone recognise what film this "hack" is from? Answer in the link.  | | | | Code: SELECT DISTINCT v.fname, v.lname, i.year, i.location, i.report_file
FROM Incident AS i
LEFT JOIN V(ictim?)... -- presumably v.incident_id = i.id
LEFT JOIN Keyword AS k ON k.incident_id = i.id
WHERE i.year BETWEEN 1947 AND 1966
AND i.type = 'HOMICIDE'
AND v.sex = 'F'
AND i.status = 'UNSOLVED'
AND ...
OR v.fname IN ('Mari', 'Magda')
OR SUBSTR ...
AND (k.keyword IN ('rape', 'decapitation', 'dismemberment', 'fire', 'altar', 'priest', 'prostitute')
...
AND SUBSTR(v.fname, 1, 1) = 'R' AND SUBSTR(v.lname, 1, 1) = 'L');

I haven't got around to watching that yet. Maybe tomorrow. Seen the original adaption, hoping the 'hollywood' one doesn't massacre it too much.

Well I never found my Win7 disc. No doubt once I'm done today, I'll find it instantly.
Downloaded a Seagate tool which cloned my partitions onto the new HDD. The problem is that the size of the partitions means that the system recovery gets 100MB, C: gets 200GB, D gets 250GB and there's unallocated space. I can't seem to expand D: to include the unallocated space so I wiped D: and it merged with the unallocated space and now becomes D: 500GB. But I'm now copying across all the stuff from my old D: partition (around 180GB worth).
Once that's done, I can wipe my old WD HDD and use it as E: - for all my film/TV needs.

And now for something completely differentThe link is safe (Danish version of The Sun) but be wary that other pages on the site are definitely NSFW.

Yeah, that was in today's paper. Maybe just a bit too sick to be funny..... Close, but they crossed the line.

As a 'cat person', from a family that's always had pets (mostly dogs) and someone who's worked for a zoo and wildlife conservation trust, it made me laugh.
Made the folks laugh too.

I'm definitely a cat person, and have worked in a marine park instead of a zoo. I also laughed.
