It might be for the best Ricky, it's a hell of a risk to take otherwise. I always play safe with data and different software! Seriously though, some of you folks really should look into UnRAID as a way of making your life easier. Basically, it's this: 1. Take one old PC, with lots of space for drives and lots of SATA connectors. Everything else is secondary (CPU, RAM etc) 2. Get two drives, one of them as big as the biggest drive you'll ever want to fit. That one is the parity drive, and does not hold data. 3. Install drives, then install UnRAID software via USB and boot. 4. Set it all up (takes about an hour unless you want to preclear the drives). 5. Transfer stuff onto it. That's it. You can add as many drives as you want as long as they're not bigger than the parity drive. If one of the drives fails, you simply replace it with a blank one and the parity drive rebuilds it for you. It's such a simple solution, as long as you're prepared to spend an hour or so learning the basics of linux, or even just follow the guides that are out there word for word like I did. It's not as redundant as a proper RAID solution, but it does a bloody good job of pretending it is for much less. If anybody wants to know more, I'll let you know about my setup and what I did (and the challenges I overcame) as a complete NAS/linux noob.

Actually, I'd do two things: 1. Take the money. Make sure it's in hand, or in the bank if a cheque. 2. I'd then go an see the guy, and scream and rant in his face about what a dirty, filthy, cheating little man he is. To call his son a liar takes the biscuit, and I'd just basically go mental at him. Getting it all off my chest might not get me any more cash, but it would make me feel a whole lot better and a whole lot more satisfied

You know what? I'd take it at this point. As much as it's not right (and to be clear, it's not), you're going to have a hard time trying to get anything else out of him and I'm not sure the time/ballache factor is worth it. Chalk it off to experience, and just tell as many people as you can what happened. Hopefully karma and word of mouth will do the rest.

It really annoys me when people abuse the Spotted On eBay section like this. No offence to you flamez, you're only doing what you can to sell your car, but really there's a dedicated For Sale section for a reason that you easily qualify for. Might make people actually read it than just skip past not realising it's your car for sale.

What software were you using? What was the old NAS?

For a week, yeah I'd go with that. For anything longer (as in months and years) then no, go somewhere that will give you the protection you need as a tenant. What if he comes home early and decides that he needs the place? You're pretty much out on your ears then and there.

"Dear sir, Get stuffed. Love, The Government. "

No chance they'll be a better driver's car than this. The stock Cayman runs the 458 close, the GT3 trumps the Speciale, this is going to be THE car to own. Shame they'll be a halo car and never drop to sensible levels

That'll be fine then matey

What is the app? But yeah, that could all be quite reasonable. Sat nav by any chance?

Yeah, 76dB is about as loud as me typing on this keyboard That's a mistake.

Tell them to get stuffed, unless you can pay it directly into their standard account in mainland UK. If they want the money, they'll go for it. I don't know what sum of money we're talking about here, but I wouldn't chance what you're doing without seeing some proper paperwork first. Assuming you have a mortgage (do you?), the mortgage co will also likely want to know about this as well and should be able to offer advice.

My mate Geoff reckons his stuff is pucker though, top gear innit. But yeah, you've spelt out the exact point I was trying to subtly make, in that there's all kinds of crap in the stuff so no-one has any idea how much they've taken. Putting numbers on it is great for convictions, but doesn't help the public at all.

Oh god no not Louis Spence, utter bellend.

Lols at Grundy I don't like David Walliams either. Not funny, not entertaining, just irritating. Just like Graham Norton.

It's payback for never driving her You know the score, pedal dance and report back, chop chop TAGL Probably moisture in a coilpack, at a guess.

dan saying about the big gay wing being offensive well gay can mean a few things saying something @*!# because it had a homosexual on it just points to one thing See, I didn't read it as the problem being the guy was homosexual, I read it as the problem was he's a camp homosexual. Maybe that's just how I read it? It's a good point though, and what I like about the LGBT community as a whole is how they reclaimed the insult 'queer', and nowadays (to my ears) it's not really insulting at all and is very rarely used because of that. It's hard to use a word as an insult if the other party uses it all the time as well, and that's something they should be very proud of achieving.

Is there? I don't think I can name too many. Not trying to be argumentative, I'm more worried I'm missing the obvious! The closest I can get is Lily Savage, but then that for me isn't quite the same as being camp. I couldn't tell you why, though.

I totally agree with you, I was just pointing out how useless the government are How much is in a line of coke, anyway? Or an average pill? Be nice to know.

The standard is, as you say, 0.5m at 45deg from exhaust at 3/4 max rpm. Some places have different minds on what 3/4 rpm is though! Stock car is about 87dB from memory, when I had mine done.

Brilliant, more mobile chicanes. Just what the sport needs.

^^^ This. It's bloody peanuts.

What does the fact that the presenter is a homosexual have to do with it? I reported this post a few days back so refrained from saying something in the vein hope something would be said to you about it. Apparently not. If you're such a bigoted homophobe that you can't watch a programme which features someone who's gay that's your issue, not the programmes. You don't need to bring it into the general forum for all to see. You could have quite frankly said "I watched the jump and it was crap" I'm going to have to choose my words very carefully here, so as not to offend anyone or give completely the wrong impression of myself and my opinions, but I think that's a tad harsh mate if I'm honest. I don't have any issues with gay people: Granted, I don't have any friends any more who I know to be gay, but I have done in the past and have happily gigged at gay-only venues. Of course, that proves nothing, but it's the best I can do without saying "I'm not homophobic, but...". Regular people who just happen to be gay do not bother me in the slightest. However, overly camp homosexual men annoy the hell out of me. They don't offend me, I don't want to go and beat them all up or denounce them or anything like that, I just find the whole camp persona to be immensely irritating. In the same way that I find overly butch hetero guys to be just as irritating ("Yeah boi, he was giving me evils so I smacked him in the face and downed another Carling!"), if I turn on a TV programme that featured either of those two stereotypes then I wouldn't watch it for that reason. For example, Graham Norton. Can't stand the bloke, hugely irritating. Danny Dyer. Nope, hate his silly accent and his geezah attitude. For Jetpilot to state that he didn't like the show because it was presented by an overly camp man isn't, for me, an example of a raging homophobe. Now, Jetpilot may very well be a homophobe anyway, I don't know. However, I don't think the terms he used can specifically be classed as homophobic. That's probably a wider debate (indeed, one of my liberal-loving friends would state that only the people being offended can judge what's homophobic/racist or not), but I hope that's come across in the right way. Someone brought up the use of the word gay in Big Gay Wing the other day too. I've always wondered why nobody really minds that on here, seeing as it's so common. I wonder if we have any gay members on here who could pass comment? I'd genuinely be interested to know.

Whilst I get your point, it's exactly the same with alcohol: There's no specific limit you can practically use anyway. Some people can take four units, some two, some just the one unit and be over the limit. There's no hard and fast rule about when alcohol leaves your system, hence lots get done the morning after. Really, this is just as clear as the alcohol rules, i.e. not very.
