So - I just bought this the other day. EXCELLENT expansion - very addicting. I guess the models for the dogs could look better (atleast they included the Mal and the Sibe models this time!), but that's why they allow you to fully customize the physical features of the dog. You can also have cats, horses, racoons, unicorns, and the little stuff (birds, hamsters, snakes, turtles, etc.) Overall, the best expansion for the Sims 3 I've bought. Worth the money. Who else has played it?

Well, here it is: A thread specifically for the geeky people out here to talk about... you know, anything that is considered computer related I've created this since some people on here were confused in what language we where speaking. What should we call them? Muggles? Anyway, to continue where we got off:

I know most of you guys in the UK don't use iPhones, so for the rest of you, do you plan on upgrading to the newest iPhone went it is announced next month? I currently have a iPhone 4S, and I am eligible for a discount through AT&T. I am really thinking of upgrading after the 5S comes out. First, I can go on gazelle.com and they will give me $230 USD for my old iPhone. And if I just upgrade to the iPhone 5 instead of the 5S, it should be about $299 for it, or only about $70 after the discount. Wondering if anyone else is thinking of getting it, or if I should just keep my 4S

Ok, I can see this is designed to be a helpful thing but it's starting to irritate me a bit. Basically at the bottom, where the post button is I have a little grey x at the side of the thread. In order to gain access to being allowed to post I have to click on it. Once I do this, the Post option becomes clickable and alls well in the world but it's getting a bit annoying., I've been fiddling around with new browsers coz I got bored with the maxathon one. Tried Chrome but absolutely hated it (pop ups and ad links all over the place, chrome lasted all of ten minutes, lol). I'm now on firefox but I'm not sure if it's this or the new anti virus software I downloaded.…

Hi guys and gals, next year is my last year in university and I need to a major individual project on a subject of my choice. so here is when you lot come in, I am in need of ideas on different projects I could do. I can do practically anything I want to do with electronics. for example, when your alarm clock goes off in the morning it will send a signal over blue-tooth that will turn on your kettle, so by the time you are up your kettle will be ready to use, this is a rather easy example. Another harder example may be a burglar alarm with a laser beam that once the laser beam is broke will send a text message to your mobile phone alerti…

SmileMan *Alpha* 1 2 3

I introduce to you all, the alpha build of... SmileMan! A smiley managment application written in C++/QT for linux and Windows. This little baby keeps track of all your smileys, and then gives you the link in a snap! I'll come on here with the Linux executable later but I originally did it on linux and had to make a few tweaks and compile it on windows and I figure I might as well release it while I'm still on here... So, to set it up, unzip SmileMan, put the file wherever (I would put it in your pictures folder) and then click on the .exe, then right click and go to "Send to" then desktop and boom, you have a convenient link right there..…

So what is your favourite peice of tech excluding your computer itself, your camera, and your phone I would have to say my Sky+hd box. In particular the recording element of it. I think unless its formula 1 most of the things I watch are recorded so I can watch them as and when I wish. Which with running this place, is always handy.

Earlier on it was working perfectly as it always does. However just went to turn it on and can hear it going through the start up process but the screens blank. The back light is working fine but it's not projecting the images from windows that it should be. It's not showing anything at all! Lol. Before you say it yes I have tried turning it off and back on again, several times! Tried angling the screens position incase it's a loose connection, giving it a little whack didn't help either, lol. Oh dear, it's not looking good! 😳 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love fibre 1 2

Once upon a time there was a person call Marc who had a 3mb download speed and 0.25mb upload speed on his internet. This had been the case for many a year as nobody wanted to give him a house that was in a cable area. One day a new fibre provider called BT Infinity was brought out, so Marc thought to himself "Hmmm this looks good, I'l have it!". Much to Marcs dismay he was told he couldn't have this as the new magical powers had not been extended to his realms. Months and months Marc waited, until one day (today) a man turned up at his house and said "Sir, I am the BT wizzard and I am here to give your computer magical powers", and with a wave of his magic broa…
