THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

There are some new bras for sale with up to 70% off.

Does 'no shoulder straps' count as 70% of a bra?

Hmmm?

Up to 70% off

cynic - 07 Jan 2016 14:54 - 66850 of 81564

a bra that is 70% off has been undone single-handed and already has one breast freed and the other on its way out

E/L are they Mac compatible do you know or does it not matter these days? also how old are they and are they anything like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-2209WA-1680-x-1050-22-LCD-TFT-Monitor-VGA-DVI-USB-16-10-Adj-Stand-Grade-A-/191761105136?hash=item2ca5da40f0:g:jzAAAOSw~otWcWE9

Stan - 07 Jan 2016 15:11 - 66852 of 81564

Come on then... answer the question as we say on here these days -):

ExecLine - 07 Jan 2016 15:28 - 66853 of 81564

:-)

Yes. Doze are day.

I see on you link the US postage to here is a tadge excessive (£57) which added to the very reasonable BIN price of £61 totals £118 each. So I think I have pitched my price about right.

For the Mac connection you will need a VGA/DVI adapter.


Stan - 07 Jan 2016 15:35 - 66854 of 81564

Thanks for video link, the only reason I used that model example from ebay was for the spec and not the price/P+P.

I am using the adapter with my present monitor so thats won't be a problem.

How old are they?

How old are the monitors?

ExecLine - 07 Jan 2016 17:12 - 66859 of 81564

Stan

I bought them in April 2011 so that makes them nearly 5 yrs old.

EDIT: Have retrieved the Dell boxes from the loft. The date on the boxes is 07/02/11 - so I was slightly out.

Stan - 07 Jan 2016 17:32 - 66860 of 81564

Can they be used individually and when used together how do you switch the mouse activity from monitor to monitor via the keyboard? As I have never used two side by side.

ExecLine - 07 Jan 2016 20:18 - 66861 of 81564

With the PC switched 'Off', you connect the two monitors to the two DVI connections at the back of your PC. At this stage it doesn't matter which monitor to which connection.

Now switch 'On' and start Windows in the normal way.

One of the two monitors will now show the Windows Desktop screen in the normal way.

By the time you get to this stage Windows will have recognised you are using one new monitor and will have kicked you off with the latest up to date the Driver for that make and model of monitor. If you have some time and patience you could at this stage (or later if you want) let a program called Driver Booster 3 (Free) go through your whole machine and download and install ALL of your machine's Drivers.

(Whilst on the subject of being 'up to date' with things, you could also use a Free program called Secunia PSI (PSI=personal software inspector) to check your whole machine for the latest versions of ALL the software you are using too. Doing this will obviously take a few minutes so you could leave this till later too.)

Anyhow, moving on with installing the dual monitors...

Then you go into the Control Panel in Windows from a click on the the Start Button at the bottom LHS of the screen. You need to open the Display section. Click on Screen Resolution. Here you will see how you can simply 'enable' the 2nd monitor and move (drag their icons) Monitors 1 and 2 into their correct '1 positioned to the LHS' and '2 positioned to the RHS' positions. Have a play around. You can 'Save' what you do or ignore it so you can't really go wrong. Change 'Resolution', position, identity (1 or 2), etc.

You could also see what you fancy wanting to watch on YouTube about the subject of: 'setting up multiple monitors' and, say using a 'Dual VGA graphics card'. It's the latter which will most probablty provide you with the second DVI connection.

I actually have to go out now. (Dog Training). Check out, say Toms Hardware at:

See George beginning to wave, while the UK begins to drown.

Cameron and Osborne put down the economic collapse in 2008 down to Labour government.

The cons have been in power for 5.5 years, so is he preparing for his place in history?

Is he preparing for his future failures?

Or, is he going to blame the immigrants for his problems this time?


Is this one going to be down to his cuts

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the mass sexual assault of women by groups of men in Cologne is part of a pattern and suggested a possible link with migrants for the first time.
In her strongest comments yet on the New Year’s Eve incident in Germany’s fourth-largest city, Merkel said Thursday that the assaults touch on the “coexistence of cultures” in Germany and urged authorities to ensure that “everything is brought to light” in the investigation.

“The events there raise very serious questions that go beyond Cologne -- whether there are connections, common patterns of behavior and is there something like contempt for women among certain groups,” Merkel told a news conference in Berlin. “We’ll need to examine whether we’ve done everything that’s needed in terms of expulsions from Germany, so we send a clear signal to those who aren’t willing to obey our legal standards.”
Cologne police said Thursday they have received 121 criminal complaints from women who were attacked around the city’s main train station on Dec. 31, with about three quarters concerning alleged sexual offenses. Sixteen men, most of them from North Africa, have been identified as possible suspects, according to a statement on the Cologne police’s website. Police in Hamburg, Germany’s second-biggest city, said 70 women filed complaints saying they were sexually harassed on New Year’s Eve, mostly in the St. Pauli entertainment district.
“I don’t think that these are isolated cases,” Merkel said.
“The feeling among women of being unprotected and defenseless is unbearable

Maybe Cynic will believe Merkel , i don't think she belongs to a far right anti-immigration party

A Jew was stranded on a desert island for 25 years. When he was rescued it was discovered that he had built two synagogues. He was asked why he built two. He said, "well that one is the one I always go to and the other one is the one that I never go to".

MaxK - 07 Jan 2016 23:42 - 66866 of 81564

I think Merkel is still working for the Stasi.

First, she invites the problem

Then she has second thoughts (supposedly)

Then she thinks there might be a problem with inviting hundreds of thousands of misogynistic young men to an equality seeking €urope





Any alarm bells ringing out there?


jimmy b - 08 Jan 2016 07:42 - 66867 of 81564

Good point max ,iv'e checked Merkels birth date and she wasn't born until 1954 ,i'm thinking of reincarnation .

cynic - 08 Jan 2016 08:04 - 66868 of 81564

aldo - i never suggested the women were lying, but no matter
what i find interesting is that merkel says those involved could find themselves being deported, and i dare say pronto at that ..... how come uk never manages such obvious action, allowing the excuse for to remain being that they have a pet cat that needs looking after?
