but it's not hot ...

so there pushing to get control over something you pay for as it crosses into your house ..

but why ??

over the next 20-30 yrs it will be cold .. yes cold .. this is a control factor there putting in place .. for when the gas becomes to pricey or we have brown out from the eleccy people .. then they just turn you off ..

I for one will not be letting them change my meter ..or i'll just buy one and have it installed ..

I know how much I pay for both .. i'm happy with that a smart meter is not going to change my habits ..

whoa .. wait a min all of you

this effectively rewrites the 2000 Act, and redefines the BBC as a private body.

so if the bbc is redefining itself as a private body why the hell i'm i paying it my tv license fee's ???

plz someone tell me ??as a public body you can/have been made to pay for it ..

but if it's private well it can go kiss my pay packet goodbye and all the overpaid suits can go find another job ..

wonder if i/we can use this in a court of fools/law to stop paying for somthing i/we never use ...

well my kids are into there 20's ..lol so i'm back to being a 12 yr old myself .. when i need to ..still do my 50 hr week at the slave farm ..

as for elite and releasing it through kickstarter .. well that in itself tells a bad story if a big software company wont pick it up ..hmmm

the game in its day was awsome sleepless nights taking turns with your m8's ..great fun ..

and yes eve has a lot of elite in it but like has been said they have sold out even more so there combining the uni with dust and the console market ..

ok there are some test going on that really seem to improve the fx ..

there boosting mem speed and NB overclock ..!!

and seem to be getting some very good results ..

if you can do that with the 8120 @125w then it will be a killer chip when it comes out in the 95w flavour

never write off a company thats been kicked in it's teeth everyday and still sticks 2 fingers up at intel ...
