Airsoft Doesn't Sleep (Off-topic MADNESS!!) Mod warning in post #1

Masada · 30-10-2009 02:13PM

See here the thing, I took everything off the puter, scanned the drive for anything otu of the ordinary and then reinstalled the operating system and it still happens only on those programs., pain in the face it is., I'll try that tip and see how i get along steve.,

If Steve's tip doesn't work, the next thing is to try a couple of different browsers with the same site(s). If FF/Opera/Safari works ok, it's probably one of the new "security features" in IE8 that's causing trouble.

Just got a call from Game on Dawson Street, they are holding a mid-night launch for COD MW2 on mid-night Monday, and I was told that they will be guys dressed up in army gear with "replicate weapons"?! Anyone heard anything like that? And who are these guys with their "replicate weapons" I wonder....

Stercus Accidit · 03-11-2009 01:43PM

Its always either noobs or general gobsh1tes that have the urge to show off their toy guns in public.

Halloween was proof enough of this.

Sam Fisher · 03-11-2009 01:54PM

Was it really bad during Halloween? I live in Dublin, but didn't see much of it. If any person did come up to my door with an AEG in his/her hand, I would've given them a good ear full!! Or was it just people dressing up going to fancy dress parties and has his/her AEG in full view of the public?

Stercus Accidit · 03-11-2009 02:03PM

I know one fool who brought a gbb to a night club, and lost it :rolleyes:

Its the urge to bring these things out for the attention they bring, it takes a special kind of eejit to do it.

IANAL but they'll probably be all right as long as they don't set foot outside the door. They need to run this plan by the Guards. The full 5 grand fine and/or 5 years in jail for brandishing a RIF in public is unlikely in these circumstances, but getting a permanent criminal record for a firearms offence could really mess up the rest of your life.

In most cases netbook+desktop is gonna be a better solution.

Also, to advise you we'd need to know your requirements....this should really be in the tech forum:p

I saw like 10 cheap €2 shop toys but nothing that I could tell at a distance was airsoft.

Theres no shortage of good spec laptops out there nowadays for little money.,
I got a new HP laptop a few weeks ago for about 700 quid, its a duel core 64bit with 4gb ram and a 500gb disk. I think the processors are 2.2GHz rated., it has a 16:9 aspect ratio screen and HD ports etc etc.
I use a lot of photoshop, Sony vegas, Adobe premiere, Muvee Reveal etc so i wanted something good and this really does the job with no complaints. i got rid of the 32bit vista it came with and its now on windows 7 ultimate 64bit.,

a grand is a lot of puter these days.

Don't buy second hand if you can avoid, manufacturers warranty is always useful to have.

Good value to be had at the moment so its worth investing a bit more to buy new.

Go to somewhere like PC World to get hands on on a few machines and figure out the size you want and the features you need.

You might get better value elsewhere however. Be careful of buying lots of accessories with your laptop off the sales guy at the time of purchase. Thats where the make their margin and you can get a bit fleeced.
