I am also at 1152x864 but sometimes I shift up a gear to 1280x960 if I need that little extra bit of space. This monitor goes up to 1600x1200 comfortably (it's a 17" iiyama Vision Master Pro 413) but unfortunately the graphics card is onboard and can only handle 256 colours at 1600x1200 :( I co...

I myself use Mozilla Firefox instead of IE (5.0 - they gave up trying to upgrade it in the end) whichout any protest from him and I have quite a lot of other programs (inc MSN which is blocked everywhere else). So you get to run MSN Messenger and use a browser of your choice at school? :shock: From...

One of the problems with TV shops displaying things in "widescreen" is that a lot of them don't actually have a widescreen signal to use - they just hook all the TVs in the store up to an analogue terrestrial signal. You'd think the big-name chains might have got wise to this and created ...

The worst play I have ever seen has to be "An Inspector Calls" at some theatre just by that temporary footbridge to Waterloo (dunno if it's still there ?). Everything of it was completely shite, including the acting and the set. However there was one bit at the end that was quite good - th...

I know people named of the others, but never anyone called Saffron. It sounds like a type of spice used in oriental dishes. But please, whatever...

My sister is pregnant and she's only 19. Her "boyfriend" is a low-life school dropout, works at a scrapyard, has slept with ALL of her friends and gets drunk and smokes weed every night. She's got it good don't you think? Typical working class, low-educated blonde. Very immature for her a...

Why is it that Microsoft always seem to underquote specs for their OS? The older computers at college run Windows XP Professional and have a 500Mhz AMD processor and 128Mb of RAM. After a reboot and subsequent logon, there is pretty much no physical memory left, and as soon as you try to launch any ...

Knowing that more than one person hides their member status, I feel able to make this thread. Do you hide your online membership status? I do. Why? I don't particularly want other members to see exactly where I am. Not that I'm worried of them finding something derogatory out, but that it's nobody ...

And that's proof (if proof were needed) that IE really is more trouble than it's worth! Not quite... I never have any problems with IE with regards to plugins, browser toolbars etc. To stop yourself from getting them in the first place, you have to be careful about what you download, not what brows...
