Nothing racist about that either. Stereotyping yes, racism no.

If you had your eyes tested within the last 12 months and have a valid prescription, then get back to the place where you had them tested and ask for a copy of your prescription. They are legally obliged to provide a copy of it for free.

I'm trying to connect to a mate's ftp, but the client is unable to resolve the address. The address is fine, and i can ping it with no problem, but both FileZilla and FTP surfer refuse to connect to it. I've turned off my firewall so it's not that. I can connect to other FTPs fine. Other people can connect to the one that i'm unable to connect to. Any ideas?

The Big Kahuna · 20-Jul-2012, 17:42

Yeah, he probably hasn't either forwarded port 21 to his internal IP or he has his firewall blocking access in some other way.

The Big Kahuna · 20-Jul-2012, 17:43

Depending on his router, he may need to specifically grant access to your IP as well.

burundi · 21-Jul-2012, 12:37

If he's got a Thompson router FTP is a bugger to sort out, I vaguely recall having to disable something on mine using telnet before I could get FTp working, usina non-standard FTP port may be easier for him. He'd still have to allow it through his firewall but it may actually work.

The Big Kahuna · 21-Jul-2012, 15:04

I use a Thompson Speedtouch ST585 v6 (best router in the world for ultra long lines) and I've had no problems, although creating rules is a bit weird. The v7 ST585 is a cunt, however.

burundi · 21-Jul-2012, 15:24

I think mine's a V7 585, as supplied by BE, when it's working it's fine I have no complaints, but when it needs something tinkering with on it it's the slowest most unintuitive web interface ever. Quite user unfriendly.

Looking to buy a new pc for playing bf3 and diablo 3 and saw this place ,

http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/

Anyone know anything about them or is it overclockers all the way?

DEV^S · 24-Jul-2012, 13:32

go to CCLonline and enjoy a decent pc with a very good price.

huckan · 24-Jul-2012, 13:34

I know a few people from PCS who're very good at what they do, they've a good reputation... however, they're a little pricey at times!

Other than the fact that they do two-page ads and are therefore probably not working out of someone's bedroom, I know NATHEENG.

Never even seen a review in a mag, but then I haven't been looking. I'd probably go to Scan, Cyberpower, or check out wired2fire, who I've read good things about.

OndaRoofus · 24-Jul-2012, 23:01

Thanks to all. I havent looked at hardware for years either , the last pc magazine i bought (read in whsmiths) was a pile of adverts and toss. Looks like a big chug around the net with all your recommendations and see whats what.

FTM · 27-Jul-2012, 12:41

Galaxy s3 or htc one x?

Cyberpower have a good builder on the site to dick with even if you buy elsewhere.

Badger Man · 27-Jul-2012, 12:52

Chilliblast seem to do pretty well in reviews too, might be worth checking out?

Similar overall spec, but also removable battery and a SD card slot.

Who did the cover of Babylon Zoo's Spaceman - faster with a high pitched voice?

not a lot to go on but I bet one of you knows the one i'm thinking of...

blurr · 28-Jul-2012, 15:49

Quickest way to convert mov to avi on a mac? Free solution preferable. Need to do it fast and quick. Video has been taken on the iPhone and is only less than two minutes long.

EDIT: Imovie does the trick

Bilb · 30-Jul-2012, 11:08

Harry Palmer · 30-Jul-2012, 13:39

nope, none of them...

Spanks · 30-Jul-2012, 14:05

I think youll find the high pitch sqeeky thing was an excerpt from the Babylon Zoo Spaceman chorus.
I think an advert took the squeeky bit and extended it

Harry Palmer · 30-Jul-2012, 14:27

You could be right - Levi's Jeans.

Barb · 30-Jul-2012, 15:17

The speeded up bit was just the intro,no?

Harry Palmer · 30-Jul-2012, 15:24

Part of the chorus as Spanks identified
