Do you think you'll ever write a spherical song?

Flash / Youtube problem?

For some reason fullscreen youtube vids wont stay in fullscreen anymore when working on the 2nd monitor.

I put the vid on left screen (fullscreen) soon as i click on the right screen it goes back to page view.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Dave · 04-Aug-2012, 09:53

NVM fixed it ....... useless cnuts

Just bought Sleeping Dogs off Green Man Gaming, but cant activate it yet? Been a good 10 mins and still no go.

What's the score with it, last few games been pretty much straight away?

I emailed them for you and this was their response.

Dave · 17-Aug-2012, 21:46

Haha, just this second gone through

This Facebook timeline thing - have we got no choice now?

Q-Target · 21-Aug-2012, 13:02

Nope. Facebook pwns you.

*XeR0x* · 21-Aug-2012, 13:48

As with most facebook updates, you'll hate it at first then get used to it and forget it ever changed

Q-Target · 21-Aug-2012, 13:51

Who bothers looking at their own timeline anyway?

Q-Target · 21-Aug-2012, 13:53

Is sleeping dogs that new game that's half GTA and half Batman style fisticuffs combat? How much? Any good? Worth a punt? Glasses? A hat? Is it Tom?

Blood God · 21-Aug-2012, 17:59

Why is it that people seem to always get uppity about FB changes? It's not like you're paying for the service - you are (after-all) the product being sold.

Inertiaman · 21-Aug-2012, 18:00

Same reason people get uppity about other people getting uppity on forums about social networks I suppose.

Yes, was on hotukdeals the other day for £20ish, yes, yes, you can buy many at clothing stores that 'up yo face', hats are also available and one of the actors' real name is Tom

Can anyone find the video this refers to online anywhere? http://www.topfoto.co.uk/imageflows/...foto&f=0160321

Was having a discussion about it with a friend earlier.

blurr · 04-Sep-2012, 17:38

Anyone here au fait with using Eclipse to create BPEL Orchestrations? Just need some advice on a project I'm working on which involves scope and fault handlers for a basic order request system.

[n00b]Zippy · 10-Sep-2012, 13:25

Do you have to change tyres two at a time, or is that a ploy by the Kwik-Fit mafia?

DEV^S · 10-Sep-2012, 13:54

is there a big difference between the tyres?

burundi · 10-Sep-2012, 14:20

It's recommended for handling reasons but not absolutely necessary, the garage at work would sometimes replace just one.

Yes, one of them doesn't have a puncture

They've been on for 30k miles and they aren't expensive so I might as well

blurr · 10-Sep-2012, 14:28

FWIW, I've just had a tire replaced on a rear wheel that had two punctures in it. Went to the Ford dealership here and they were happy to replace just the (punctured) one and cost £80 for a continental tyre.

cheeky sod, I meant was the tyre (the one that your not planning on changing) been used much? youve now answered 30,000 miles. Change them both.

Nomad · 10-Sep-2012, 17:41

it's not their call, it's yours, some places will advise do both, it's good practice/prudent but as burundi said not always necessary as the other tyre might still be relatively new, just always have matching pairs on an axle, on both axles if you can afford it, on all 3 axles if you're a russian

Lungboy · 11-Sep-2012, 19:15

The Xecutor 3 in my old Xbox has stopped working suddenly. Assuming it's dead, what's the current best media setup for having under my living-room tv?

Inertiaman · 11-Sep-2012, 19:48

I really want there to be a nice device that just nails it - but every time I look for one I end up re-concluding that an SFF PC and XBMC remains the best option for anyone with the nouse to set it up.

Lungboy · 11-Sep-2012, 19:53

I've seen the Popcorn Hour recommended, but it's quite pricey.

Inertiaman · 11-Sep-2012, 19:55

And enjoys a fraction of the plugin/streaming/content shit that you can hax on xbmc.

Lungboy · 11-Sep-2012, 20:14

What about this? Not sure why, but there's a new option from Amazon directly for £57.

e: ah, they've fucked the naming, it's the TV Link version, not the full version. However, i'd like something with an optical drive too, so they are both out.
