ASUS X52F-EX1271V FOR SALE/TRADE - Expired - Hot UK Deals

I have this for sale if you're interested.

The Courteeners on 9th Dec at the Apollo Manchester, this will be the third year running me and the wife have had the pleasure.

The size of the venue should add to the experiance, first was Gmex, great venue ( The Buzzcocks were supporting ), then MEN, the place was packed and all off our heads.

Is Leeds festival any good?

Seen Elbow a few times and just noticed there appearing at both Leeds and Reading, day pass is £82.50, weekend £192.50. Was hoping for The Courteeners as me and the wife are watching them for the 3rd time at Haigh hall this Thursday but there playing V and tickets are sold out.

Any info much appreciated.

Have you got a seperate sound card or is it running off your motherboard, if its one you have installed yourself then you have to change the setting via control panel/sounds and audio devices/audio then on the drop down list ' Default device' select your sound card.

Hope this helps

Shit just noticed its a laptop.............check out if you have a yellow question mark against the device in device manager...start/right click my computer/manage/device manager..see if your audio drivers are installed.

Paddy power future games. I had £50 on Liverpool to win and Andy C to score at 10-3.....................Erm. Also £25 on Liverpool/man city double..........Erm.

Think I just need a few now to pay for a night out in Liverpool this Sunday coming, roll on Elbow at the Echo arena and a decent meal.

I checked your coupon and Forrest was a right joke of a result. When doing win accy's I tend to spread them over delayed time/days so if at the closing end of it and i'm still in I can cover my bets/results either via Betfred of Betfair.

Good luck in the future

I've got

brighton

man u ( against Bolton )

qpr

chelsea

ajax

feyenoord

fc twente

villareal

barcelona

real madrid

£20 pays £364

Wish I would of taken all my cash what i've spent and bought shares in the bookies as there cleaning up so far.

As for today i'm going for corners handicap -4 England 10/11, Handicap -1 England 8/13, USA to win both halves 5/1,

£10 treble pays £185.03 with Betfred.

Paid.

Sorry for the delay.

Was that Naomi Cambell then picking up her regular supply of blood diamonds.

Awsome stadium.

Dung beetle WTF!!!!!! I thought Drogba was'nt fit

Anyone spotted any eye candy yet ?

Just a few doubles for me

Mexico/France 5/1 £10

Mexico -1 / France £10 returns £112.50

I'll pay mine as soon as the wife gets home from work ( 2-3 ).

Count me in.

Do i need to PM you my email address?

Summer Solstice at Stonehenge

Has anyone been to this before?

Me and the other half are driving down for it and would welcome comments from people who have experianced it.

Thanks

Some fine looking ladies on this one.

Ohh Yeah:yes: Ok maybe not just one song so apologies but i'm sure you will let me off with it.

Thanks for the rep piscinin.

Whoops, I mean the train was a 1000ft in length.:wallbutt:

"There are many physicists who will tell you it is proven impossible," said Richard Muller, a physics professor at the University of California, Berkeley. "But that is not the case."

"Einstein himself pointed out that time travel is possible in general relativity," added Gregory Benford, a science fiction writer and physicist at the University of California, Irvine.

Einstein's theory of relativity suggests that, if a person could safely travel at or near light speed—a big if—he or she would experience the alteration of time. In a staple scenario of post-Wells fiction, the traveler would arrive in the future not a day older than when he or she left.

Getting home—going backward in time—is a thornier problem but may be accomplished by harnessing theoretical particles called tachyons. The as-yet-unobserved particles travel backward in time, some physicists speculate.

And below

Why FTL implies time travel (tachyon pistols)

The entire "FTL implies time travel" meme has to do with what's sometimes called "failure of simultaneity at a distance". In addition to the effects that pop treatments of relativity mention (that is, time dilation and length contraction), relativity proposes that the definition of "right now" is also different, depending on which observer's coordinate system you use. This is an effect much like the revolution of deciding that the direction "up" wasn't the same everywhere, but varied from place to place on earth. With relativity, the revolutionary notion is that the direction "futureward" (or "now-ward") isn't the same everywhere, and varies with velocity.

We can describe this effect by idealizing FTL to be "instantaneous", and describing how the more familar time dilation implies this effect. But remember, the same points apply to any FTL speed, you just have more messy arithmetic to grind through.

Consider a duel with tachyon pistols. Two duelists, A and B, are to stand back to back, then start out at 0.866 lightspeed for 8 seconds, turn, and fire. Tachyon pistol rounds move so fast, they are instantaneous for all practical purposes.

So, the duelists both set out --- at 0.866 lightspeed each relative to the other, so that the time dilation factor is 2 between them. Duelist A counts off 8 lightseconds, turns, and fires. Now, according to A (since in relativity all inertial frames are equally valid) B's the one who's moving, so B's clock is ticking at half-speed. Thus, the tachyon round hits B in the back as B's clock ticks 4 seconds.

Now B (according to relativity) has every right to consider A as moving, and thus, A is the one with the slowed clock. So, as B is hit in the back at tick 4, in outrage at A's firing before 8 seconds are up, B manages to turn and fire before being overcome by his fatal wound. And since in B's frame of reference it's A's clock that ticks slow, B's round hits A, striking A dead instantly, at A's second tick; a full six seconds before A fired the original round. A classic grandfather paradox.

Note, this is NOT a matter of when light gets to an observer, it is NOT an optical illusion. It is due to the fact that, in SR, the question of what occurs at the "same time as" something else is observer dependent.

As A fired that first show at tick 8, the bullet effectively teleported from A's gun to B's back instantly --- instantly according to A. But for B, who was moving at 0.866 lightspeed WRT A, B was hit in the back by the bullet 4 seconds BEFORE the bullet was fired. And again note, this is NOT due to the optical illusion of lightspeed delay in viewing A's turn-and-shoot; the light form that event wouldn't reach B until MUCH later, not tick 4.

The one I do like regarding travelling at close to the speed of light regards a train entering a tunnel, the tunnel is say 500ft long and the train is 100ft in length. If you where to shut the door at one point then the whole of the train in theory would be inside the tunnel.

There is also one regarding a tachyon gun being used in a murder where the defendant claims to of both shot and NOT shot the person which theoretically is correct.

You cannot travel faster than the speed of light so that's out.

If you really want an indepth insight into how it all works then watch all the lectures by this bloke.
