My dad broke my Linx 10 so I got the Nvidia Sheild K1 (8 inch). They regularly come up for £150, are fast, run marshmallow, and have a 1920x1200 screen, and a quad 2.2 processor. You would need your own micro usb charger though which is not an issue for most. Some tablets have better battery life bu...

Scratch that, I missed the word 'Kit'

I agree with your friend that cheap one (as in poor quality) is not a good idea. I had no end of problems with some once that had decent power figures but I kept getting crashing, and eventually settled on an Antec with more modest figures. One was even dropping the 12V rail down to 9V! Personally I...

I hope this is not the start of a growing trend for console priced PC games, all the prices are around £40 everywhere I've looked. A little bored of the franchise so think I can wait.

Been watching "Better Call Saul" on Netflix, it's a spin off from Breaking Bad starring the morally challenged lawyer. He was very entertaining to watch in Breaking Bad and has carried this through to his spin off (he just so much reminds me of Stan from Monkey Island). It's not as epic as Breaking ...

RTS games with limited resources. You can always guarantee some unit will go off shooting at something on its own, or you look away and they get attacked, leaving you to take on the enemy with a stick and some breath mints. Also ones that require a ridiculous amount of micromanagement. FPS games tha...

Sounds like you might be looking at the wrong class of generator?

Not all stations supply the higher classes.

Well this has been the third wave of snow starting from christmas, it needs to do one now. Didn't look bad this morning until you try to drive on it. An Audi A3 was having a time and a half with the front end all over the place. Then at 5PM the roads were quiet with the occasionally deserted car, so...

If you are looking at more hifi stuff then a good pair of hifi active monitors might do the trick. My friend had a pair that sounded a lot better than the standard logitech 2.0 system. They were on stands though which helps a lot. If you want to go full separates system somewhere like richer sounds ...

Our place our a bit cheapskate too. We at least have Windows XP but then we don't run any exotic science equipment, they are just office computers mostly running office 97. One of our computers has a P4 with 512mb of ram, needless to say it starts hacking away at the hard drive if you do too much wi...

You have to wonder whether the people grabbing the tv's have actually researched them and shopped around a bit before they decided to trample everyone in sight to pull them off the shelf. Did they even get chance to see the price?

What can you tell me about AGI?

I wouldn't call myself a Whisky expert by any stretch, started dabbling with Glenfiddich a few years ago and tried a few others since then (usually get some at christmas). My personal favourite is Bruichladdich - The Laddie Ten, it's only 10 years, but I wouldn't get too bothered by the years unless...

Could be fun for would be hackers

Not the best line up of offers yet. However I am going to make a recommendation, if you like racing games particularly the more realistic simulator side of things take a look at Assetto Corsa. It's an early access game so content is a little bit thin at the moment but it's looking very promising. I...

As far as I remember it, all the time machines were destroyed apart from the Tardis, which the Doctor then stole. Hence he has the last and only time machine. Well there's another hole then. Clara pointed him towards his Tardis, stating he would have more fun with this one, in a previous episode. N...

I have 8 gigs of RAM and i5 processor. You won't benefit i7 as a game engine only utilizes a maximum of four cores as stated by one of the developers. SSDs seem to help loading from a saved game but in game there is zero difference between transitions. I thought in one of the videos they pointed ou...

Tiredness inhibiting my numeracy.

.....erm........mmm..........nice hooters?

To answer all the replies to my questions yes I have a great sound system. External DAC and medium high end headphones. It was probably just and overly compressed file (which link was removed). to be honest it sounded like when i used to use a soundcard instead of external DAC. hopefully a less com...
