Re: Web hosting / domain buying etc

I recommend fasthosts.co.uk - they'll do everything from the domain registration to the web hosting, and their customer service is good enough. For what it's worth, it's where Neocolours is hosted. Failing that, oneandone.co.uk are also reasonable - I do my own domain registration with them, and I'v...

Re: Computer specs help?

Yay, I helped! Case - really, it's not worth worrying too much about which - pick the one you like the best, then just try to make sure the airflow is approximately bottom-front to top-back. (the fans should have a little arrow to denote airflow direction through it). Two 120mm fans will be enough t...

Re: Computer specs help?

We use Antec cases at work: specifically the 300, the build quality is fantastic (mind you we're moving computers around a lot, so cases with very little flex are very important to us). I'd recommend the 900 too - a lot of the others look a lot flimsier. Number of fans is not everything, case layout...

Re: Windows 7 and ... virus-scanning software.

Oh crap, it expires tomorrow? That's when I get my new computer in. Does it expire tomorrow or midnight, or will all of tomorrow be the last day? If I download it now on this computer, would I be required to install it on THIS computer, or can I burn an install-disc and install it on my new compute...

The beta expires tomorrow, but the release candidate will still operate until March without any issues:

For AV, I tend to stick with avast these days, I can't bring myself to buy Kapersky.

Re: Summer: Books, films and a laptop

Re: Vista vs. 7: Retail prices for 7 are cheaper than Vista at release, by about 10%. If you buy a computer from particular resellers (such as Dell here ), you get a free upgrade to 7 when it comes out. As long as you don't have to buy 7 *as well* as Vista, you won't be paying a premium for it. If y...

Re: The Week From Hell

Jesus tiddlywinks, what a week. I'm glad you're ok coming out of all that. Echoing Kantark, definitely time to get the security sorted.

Wow. Well done, you're a strong person to manage through that.

Re: RL Achievements and ToW

Seriously, wtf? Are there any real threats of assassination for him? My entire family seems convinced that there's a cell of racist americans who would want to shoot him. Srzly?! Yes. Or at least the threats, and casual desires to see him die being discussed on TV have made people do something abou...

Re: Web Hosting

They're a UK-based operation, but I should at least mention fasthosts - they host Neocolours after all! Prices etc on their website, but they start at £5/mo for a fairly sensible package. That said, being of a technical bent myself, I'd err on the side of Ty's offering (although I don't particularly...
