Season 2 wasn't as good as the first. The third season was much better. They managed to wrap it up as well if in a bit of a depressing manner. They must have known it hadn't much hope of a fourth season.

It might be a DNS issue rather than pure throttling. Have you tried a different DNS server other than UPC's? I find I have problems like that with them every now and then. I switch to Open DNS or Google's.

You didn't miss much. The set was a decent mix but the sound was crap and they were very sloppy for the first 45 - 50 mins. They finally got it together for the last 20 mins. They went off for an encore and when they came back the sound was even worse. I didn't even recognise Rusty cage (first...

Be careful when you buy these phones. If they ship from Asia customs can seize them. They wait for a Samsung rep to inspect the device and if it's deemed to be a knock off of one of their models it will get destroyed. Some of the Irish sellers on Adverts don't have the phone at hand and have...

Install XBMC on your computer with the navi-x and 1-Channel plugins. You can stream pretty much anything. Plus it has a nice TV style interface. http://xbmc.org/

Revenue online really need to update their site. It's the only thing I use Java for and that's once a year. If you're in the same situation the best thing to do is completely un-install java from your system. Then download the latest version from Java.com. This will give you the latest version...

Yeah let it. Sure look at the name. It just want to check.

Rec 3. It's not very good. In hindsight, I don't know why I thought it would be.

You can get the audio book and listen to it instead. Roy Dotrice does a good job with them. So much so that he was cast in season 2 of the TV show. It looks like they're going to take a different direction with the show. Seems like it was gearing up for a huge battle between the Night watch and...

I actually think that too. They've cut out a lot of the filler from the books. Unfortunately I don't know if they can completely escape how the books ended up without changing the story too much.

That's pretty much the way the books went. The first two are good then it starts to go downhill. By the time I got to the fifth book I didn't have a clue what the main storyline was any more. His approach to writing seems to be 1000 pages of nothing disguised as character development following...

I've been reading the books over the last few months. Started A Dance with Dragons a couple of weeks ago. I can see how so many people got fed up with it. At this stage I don't know what's going on in the story at all. He keeps killing off old characters and introducing new ones. The main plot...

I've been using it for a few weeks now. Pretty handy. Once you get over the initial download it will run in the background on your machine and upload any new music you rip or buy.

If it's speed you want then use Chrome. Much faster than firefox (or any other browser) both on startup and rendering. Firefox 4 and 5 increased the speed a bit but it still can't compare.

I'm assuming it'll be next year at least before Season 2 begins. Plus I guess they don't want to catch up on the books because there are 2 (I think) left to be published. He's very slow writing them. They may also have to combine the 3rd and 4th books because apparently book 4 has none of the...
