Comment and when the cd stops working? (Score 1) 301
I assume this means they re-issue when the cd no longer works. (must see if my cd's still work - they must be around here somewhere).
Comment ProSupport helps (Score 1) 314
We buy all our dells with Prosupport. I had the slowdown for ages - drove me crazy. Everyone at work blamed Linux (which it is running). Eventually phoned Dell up and told them to replace stuff until it worked.
Next day they came in, replaced motherboard, cpu's and memory and it worked just like a new machine (strangely enough). Never had the problem again.
Wished they'd replaced the case too - that scratch is bugging me. Maybe should drop it in a bucket of water and try again.
Submission + - Australia tests vehicle speed limiting devices (abc.net.au) 1
nemesisrocks writes: "The New South Wales (Australia) Government is testing a device that will limit the speed of drivers because "excessive speed is one of the primary ways that people are killed while driving".
Located on the dashboard, it senses a driver's speed with the use of GPS. If the speed of a car goes over the posted legal limit, a warning sounds. If the driver ignores the warning, the device eventually cuts all power to the car because a cut-off switch has been installed between the accelerator and the engine."
