    The interesting thing about this is how dental health affects heart health!

    The book sounds like a lovely idea.

    I don’t have a child, but I feel I would like to be very honest with mine if I did.

    Why can you not tell him the simple version of the truth, but not confusing matters with talk of “sleep”?

    That we all have a lifetime, and its not possible to choose it’s length? Of course she doesn’t want to leave you all behind.

    I confess I don’t know much about the subject, but I am curious.

    Most of this historical over filling is because dentists used to get paid for each bit of work, so they would always do something and then claim on the nhs.

    Drilling holes in teeth makes them weaker, the question is when to intervene.

    Every 1-2 years is what my insider* tells me is a good plan. I’ve not been in 5, apart from a year ago when I had a crown stuck back on (last words pervious to that visit were “come back in a week and we’ll check that’s stuck on”)

    During a visit to the MK Bently factory I asked something about spare part availability. I was told Bentleys did *not ever* break down and I was not to ask any more questions.

    Pompous.

    Aaah, I didn’t see the bit about moving the machine….

    Troubling. Yes.

    Maybe a wiring issue, or earthing 🙁 I guess you need an electrician, unless you are really handy with a multimeter…. Maybe it’s the surge protector! Yeah plug in direct.

    Sorry dude, that’s unfortunate.

    It’s not an easy one to help with from here.

    Basically the PSU is the most important quality part in the machine, but also one many manufacturers skimp on and find a huge variation in quality between brands with not a lot of external signs for the nongeeky.

    You could think of it as analogous to tyres on a prebuilt bike.

    At a guess the old one died from being mediocre and old, and the new one died from being crap (or VERY misleadingly output rated(common indeed)).

    Most PSUs have output protection, even the crap ones, so I would imagine it is not the rest of the machine or it would never have worked.

    If I were you I’d take the old one back and get a refund, then buy a quality brand.

    Do you have the original one so you can inspect the output power for each rail? This is usually the cause of the problem, insufficient current.

    Brands I would recommend are Seasonic and Corsair, but as these are real quality they might be quite expensive…. But then they tend not to drop dead or destroy the PC when they do.

    QED 79 strand or Cable Talk 3 were both budget go-to’s.

    Rega and an Ortofon 2M of some sort… Assuming that’s what you need, of course.

    Also, it doesn’t matter what we say, buy what sounds good on your setup 🙂

    I am assuming this question refers to a voluntary, eeer, giving?

    And the Attack range of Trigger shifters.

    Basically, they’re not compatible apart from the clearly labeled ones.

    Your problem is that there is a reference to a Windows [probably] boot manager on the other disks [did you have a Linux install before?] but the Windows bootmanager is corrupt or missing from the location at which it’s stored…or something along that line.

    I have run into similar weird things in the past with invisible boot partitions and bootmangers staying on USB sticks after they’ve been used to boot from resulting in them trying to boot the PC they’re plugged into then complaining when the actual OS or Bootmanager isn’t where it thinks it is.

    Try gparted then manage the flags for the drives you don’t want to boot from….

    WARNING – it’s 100% possible to b0rk your install with gparted, you want the data all backed-up first!

    Umm, I’m not really sure, but splitting the cabinet into two differently tuned pipes for each full-range driver, and then allocating the frequencies so you still get stereo but also get the benefit of deeper bass makes the Wave Radio pretty innovative.

    Other than that (and only really in the bass department) I have never heard any Bose equipment I was sonicly impressed by, but they do shift a lot of pro gear and much of it looks to last. They also make some laboratory equipment.

    @chiefgrooveguru

    Balanced Mode Radiators look very technically impressive, do you think they’re likely to replace cone loudspeakers?

    At a guess that cabinet is about the size of two bookshelf/standmount loudspeakers, so what sort of bass extension will you get from those drivers? Have you considered the Bose trick of unequal length ‘lines with EQ to the larger ‘line?

    @Lazgoat – have a chip pan fire. It probably won’t burn the grease off your Smegs but you’ll be too busy cleaning up that mess to care anymore.

    Also, can’t believe noone has said “Don’t eat the yellow snow”.

    Sheesh, standards are slipping.

    You can remove stains from your trousers by rubbing the same fabric on it.

    Obviously, this can be extended to other fabric items….not just trousers.

    If you’re lucky it’s a disk or directory issue, see what discs/resources you have to hand and Google how to boot from then and diagnose/repair the disk.

    If you’re unlucky its the relatively common issue with failing motherboard solder joints, in which case Google fixing that in the oven (probably not worth the health risks or anguish) and the cost of a replacement.

    In either case, if it boots and you have access to the fike system, at the FIRST opertunity – copy any unique files to one or two backup discs/drives.

    Good luck.

    I am guessing the pads/cables had a lot of give and the bearings that generate the pressure (the ball bearing cam) ran past the end of the ramp.

    What were the brakes?

    B+W make some quality speakers. Big sound too, if that’s your fetish.

    While not from actual Leeds, the Monday Night Pub Rides are likely to be accessible to you if you have a car.

    Not only are they good rides, they feature lovely people, beer and occasional all-star guests (Hans Ray, anyone?).

    GT85 really b0rked the skin on my hands…permanently 🙁

    Rohloff oil is great, but stunningly expensive. It’s not too mucky if you eer on the side of under-applying. In summer its brilliant.
