  1. I might have to create a DUH! badge just for you then. lol
  2. There could be if they are equal in head scratching and raised eyebrow inducing levels.
  3. Actually after seeking yours out again I think we might go for 2 Total Nuggets this week. What do you guys think? http://forum.turboduck.net/showthread.php?p=29798#post29798
  4. There was one in regarding a BSOD but it looked deliberate. I also think you were in the running this week but I can't remember where but I remember noting your name. :)
  5. Week #3. Hybrid_IV :: Posted a reply in which he made the mistake of saying that when a future DLC car is released that "you won't sound right" when he was meaning that it won't sound right.
  6. It should do as I don't think there's any difference in connections between territories.
  7. In options and display I think it is change it to Imperial instead of Metric.
  8. Uhh they were down, that was the problem. lol
  9. Uuuhhhh I honestly don't have anything to say about that as I wouldn't know where to start. lol
  10. Uhh a date would be good?
  11. I knew I wanted to mention this to see if others have this issue but on your News > Info section when you're viewing your total mileage does the amount it shows seem wrong to you? Example, I know I have about 35,000 by car and 10,000 by bike yet total shows 40,xxx. The amount never seems to want to go above the 40,xxx mark. Anyone else got this?
  12. It was very common on Windows 98 especially when you were on the internet as so many people could exploit it, the easiest being multiple popups that would crash your system due to using all the memory. Anyone want to place a bet when I will get my box back, winner gets an L/XL Atari t-shirt!
  13. Unfortunately quality is not a strong point in the Xbox 360 images, you need to usually resize them to have a good looking image. Damn compression that is forced upon developers. Wonder if PGR4 will look as good as PGR3 did without hardly any compression. Speaking of which, PGR4 is out in North America today!
  14. What to remember is that recurring background is only there because the div is bigger than the image due to your monitor resolution. Someone on 800x600 hardly sees any blurred background, 1024x768 sees slightly more and so on. It works in reverse also though with a bigger background image then those on lower resolutions may only see the trees and the road but no bike whereas those on 1280 and higher will see the full picture and then just a blank space where the image has ended. You also need to remember that larger images equate to bigger filesizes, I am trying to keep the header images below 30Kb as right now I this front page is verging on 100Kb so 10 people download that's 1Mb, 100 = 10Mb, a 1000 = 100Mb and 10,000 downloads = 1Gb. Taking into account that we are on about 20-30,000 visitors a month this would equal a fair amount of bandwidth. I'll definitely look into it though. :)
  15. Well that's it been picked up, 15:49PM GMT+1. The countup begins. lol
  16. That would be possible as all I would need to is make the div background the image itself but it would mean you would need to set a size for the images being posted as being at least 1000 pixels wide. At the moment I am working on a random display script so that it will vary the banner shown up top, just trying to see how you incorporate it into vBulletin is all.
  17. Well UPS must be happy with this arrangement as I phoned them up and expected them to say something like "are you free such and such day" but no the operator says "are you available from now till 5PM today". So it must go like: UPS: "Hi UPS how can I help you?" Cust.: *give details* UPS: *searches for what's available in the next 3-5 days* Cust.: "Yeah it's an Xbox 360 being sent for repair." UPS: *pickup today = Kachhiiiiiiinnngaaaa* UPS: "Are you available today?" Cust.: "Yep!" UPS: *We're in the money ....* lol
  18. Too easy and deliberate so no.
  19. Hey Super when they came for yours did they bring a box (affectionately called the coffin) already or did you need to pack it up yourself? Cheers. I would like to get mine back tbh, it's done me well.
  20. Hybrid that was well good and seeing that she was up for a laugh herself just made me respect her even more. Thanks for the laugh bro!
  21. A lot of people are reporting that a full uninstall (backup your savegame!) and deletion of Registry Keys pertaining to TDU/Atari (unless you have other Atari software on your PC) has worked wonders for them.
  22. Foo Fighters - The Pretender Loving this tune, good one to work to.
  23. Hmm I need to find a box I can put it in for the UPS pickup, only problem is the only real plain box I have that's big enough is my old PlayStation 2 box. What do you think? lol
  24. This is the infamous 3 Red Lights of Death (3RLoD) aka as the Red Ring of Death (RRoD) which basically means the box is dead or dying due to something melting near the Graphics card or something meaning the system can't run anything giving out a total failure which cannot be solved by merely letting it cool down. The 'towel trick' is when you essentially bake your 360 so much so that it heats so much inside that it melts this component that has come loose and thus fixes the join that has since come apart (very basic description). This has worked for some people but personally I don't mind being without it especially since they fix this problem and add extra cooling to the inside if they fix your machine, if they send a refurb or even sometimes a new one then you're good to go BUT you can run into problems with DLC and may even worse case scenario receive a banned unit due to it being modded. I'm optimistic though that I can get a lot done in the time it has to be away so here's to about 3-4 weeks (could be less) with time to spare. Hope that clears it up a bit for you.
