  1. Buy a £20 usb CD drive and install your 2003 disk on the new computer.
  2. 10 years ago when cats ruled the internet, clouds didn't exist. Only pirates uploaded, roaming free on cloudless oceans. And businesses. But providers realised they could easily milk businesses for uploading win win! So 0.6 (or about 0.8 you should be getting) was normal. But then endless clouds of mobiles arrived. This allowed the use of shiny fibre-broadband as the clouds shielded our eyes, and we can upload more now.
  3. This is a recipe for disaster. Don't do it. Make sure you have a way of putting the original 8/10 back on first when this plan goes south. To answer the question. You don't buy a CD from ebay. Just download one the usual way*. What you are buying is a license. And you are too likely to end up with snake oil from ebay. * Unless forum rules have changed over the years I can't elaborate.
  4. Would have to be a very good spec for a 2nd hand business pc tower to be better than the £250 ones from a shop. Business pcs are unlikely to have WiFi. Ebay is the place to go 2nd hand unless you are lucky with the sale pages on this forum. If you don't understand the terminology, then just buy new.
  5. The thing about cycling that still suprises me after all this time is the breadth of difference in pysical stature between the pro contenders. 55KG 5.4ft Columbian hill climbers that the podium girls in their heals have to bend down to kiss. To the 6.4ft tall (David Miller) time trialists. The >80kg cobbled classics guys and sprinters like Cancellara and Kittel. You also get smaller sprinters too Cav and Naser Bouhanni.
  6. Missed it, working Highlights on Eurosport Sunday. Whopping half hour at 10:45 after Tour of Poland Highlights (Wiggins in that).
  7. The chopper was hovering over city road whilst this was going on.
  8. Armed police - machine guns the lot - shouting for G (or her son) to come out of their house. Took a while.
  9. For sitting on Near full of people sunbathing, playing frisbie etc on the sunniest days last year. The travelling play thing was there towards the end of the summer.
  10. I bought my bike from them. No complaints. Nearby other stores are Halfords and Evans on Queens road and Edinborough (bicycle collective) further up on London road. If you are planning to spend nearly 4 figures on a road bike, why not consider a local brand? Planet X are on the near side of Rotherham. http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/contact/showroom/
  11. Fallen over three times this month on the new road bike. Somewhat embarrassing and more than a little dangerous.
  12. This question seems to come up once per year but we are no further forward. Could a mod turn this thread into a poll please? Edit: Just realised why they can't Whitbys [location?] Tony's [Admiral?], Mosborough Frymaster, Attercliffe Steels, Cleethorpes[?] Rob's, Greenhill New Cod On The Block, Commonside Posiedon, Abbey Lane Little chippy, Swallownest Knee Codder' o Br hills[?], Mosborough Flying Fish, Sicey Avenue Riverside, Hillsborough Becketts, Manor Top Shellys, Stocksbridge Bostwicks, Hornsea
  13. This is what I could find with a lill dig. Might help work out the model number, but its dated 2011 so maybe not. There is a link in that thread that tells you how to work out your routers username and password. Used to be admin/sky for me. http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/extracting-sky-router-passwords/46104-how-can-i-tell-sagem-router-i-have-how-extract-username-password.html Selecting the 2504 model and the black opps game on the port forward website mentioned above: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Sagem/Fast2504/PS3_Call_of_Duty_-_Black_Ops.htm The screenshots for the above model look like the interface of my old Sagem. Its pretty much a blow by blow of what you need to do for that game.
  14. Tbpfh port forwarding is the equivalent of a 3 spanner Haynes manual job. Couple of thoughts. Head over to Sky's user forum. Someone there more familiar with the router might be able to sort you some precise instructions. I had the Sagecom when I was with Sky* and its wifi is pants by even the standards of the free ones that come in ISP welcome cereal box packs now. If there is not an easy way of turning strict Nat off on the 'old' Sagecom, I bet there will be an easy(ier) way on their current freebie handout. Get Sky's support line to send you out a new one. *Assuming its 2-3 years old.
  15. I was with Sky before I moved to Plusnet. To be fair to Sky I found their support line OK and they fixed my line problem. Orange who I was with before just weren't interested in fixing it. All the companies mentioned in the thread use the same sort of technology to bring you your broadband. Chances are you would have had these disconnection issues crop up on your line no matter who you were with. Its a case of who can best sort it.
