That reminds me Ed. I used to maintain the phone system at the BFI and one day I nearly got soaked entering the building. Bells started ringing and then water just gushed from the roof of the building.

Once inside I asked what was going on and they said the water deluge system was being tested. They stored the old celluloid films in a specially built concrete room on the roof.

As you can’t extinguish celluloid fires the idea of the deluge system was to fill the whole room with water within 5 seconds and to keep it full for up to 2 hours. The hope was that with the temprature kept down only the stuff that was already burning would keep burning and burn its self out.

To make the best black powder you have to “crack” it. Grind your ingredients separately and add to your mortar and pestle. Add a little water and grind into a fine paste. Let the paste dry into a lump and then grind that into your final powder.

Im sure most people on here know that but is that a siren I hear ?

To be honest I wouldn’t even connect an XP machine to my home network anymore. As a stand alone bit of fun though I still had one until last year, running a P3 1Ghz  “Copper mine” and an FX5600 Graphics card.

Did you know that MS unexpectedly released a malware patch for XP in 2017 ?

Its KB4012598 and you can get it here:

You go it in one Ed.

Brent/Harrow are rubbish.

But i can and do tell them so.

 

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

I do not want to give the EU another red cent.

39 thousand thousand so they can tell us what to do ?

For the odd holiday in the sun ? Nah

 

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

39 billion they want from us, just as an opening offer.  39 Billion ! I will say it again just in case anyone missed it .39 Billion !

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

We can ask D-Dan. We can ask ?. We tell.

This is the way things are. We have the money. They dont. We dont just GIVE it to them !

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

I am glad we have a bit of debate around here though. Perhaps we can declair  FORUMTE reason central?

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

You must know what a guilded cage is all about ?  I for  one won’t be stuffed into one

Blah blah what the EU  wants. Convince me that im not just paying for lazy french farmers.

 

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

A very well made point D-Dan, untill you got to the last bit ?

We must escape before we negotiate. Why bother talking to your jailers ?

In case you were wondering why it makes so little difference now, then its because modern CPU’s have 3 levels of full speed cache memory. The CPU only has to wait for main memory in the event of the data not being in the chache, and its less than 1% of the time these days.

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Dont worry but just in case..

Your memory speed is:

System base clock x memory multiplier x 2 because its Double Data Rate.

If you do the maths then it looks your base clock is 83.7 so if you changed the multiplier to x10 your memory would be running at 1674. Thats higher than your memory’s rated 1600 a could be why AUTO chose an 8x multiplier.

If you want to try x10 then you probably need to change your multiplier setting to EXPERT first and you may need to disable XMP too.

But as Dave said…

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

The EU were going to scrap our rebate anyway to bring us closer into line with the STANDARD terms of membership. In 5 or 10 years time there is unlikely to be ANY country on special terms.

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

On the other hand if it goes as well as I expect it to then the debate will just melt away. Point settled again.

If we never leave we will never know and this divide will rumble on for decades, maybe more.

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Has anyone considered that if we just leave with no deal and it proves to be a mistake after say 5 years (You have to give it a decent go) then its not the end of the world.  The EU would ALWAYS welcome us back under the standard EU terms and the Remainers would get to say we told you so. Point settled.

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Why thank you Dave ! I do try you know ?.

I agree with you about our current crop of polititians though. Most of them wouldn’t recognise a principle if the head principle came over to give them a lesson on principles ?.

Have a look at the link above. A prime example of lies and half truth’s from a vested interest.

At least we still make the worlds best ejector seats. I wish we could eject from the EU with the same style ?

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Nooo. Its just an example of the MASSIVE porkies the EU tells before it does what really wanted in the first place.

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

I can see why VFM keeps mentioning a European army Dave. It is a shining example of something the EU would Never, not ever, even in your dreams, think about proposing. And now has.
