    Any of you pricks been watching Travellers on Netflix?

    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.

    Net neutrality and UPC

    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.

    Soundgarden in The O2 2013

    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...

    What do youse think of this cheap Chinese android phone?..

    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...

    ISPs providing addresses of p2p users to the IRMA?

    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/

    I keep getting prompted to allow jucheck.exe to access my system.

    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...

    What movie did you watch last night?

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

    Game Of Thrones - Caution: Contains spoilers (and beheadings)

    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...

    Game Of Thrones - Caution: Contains spoilers (and beheadings)

    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.

    Game Of Thrones - Caution: Contains spoilers (and beheadings)

    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...

    Game of Thrones

    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...

    Google Music (& how to get on it)

    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.

    Firefox alternatives

    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.

    Game of Thrones

    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...

    Game of Thrones

    Yeah but they were shortened quite a bit. The scene in the forest for example had the 2 dire wolves attacking the deserters and taking 2 - 3 of them down and the stand off was longer. The wolves in general seem to play a bigger part in the book. The trial scene and the leading up to it...

    Game of Thrones

    I've been listening to the audiobook as well as watching the show. Probably a bad idea to do both at the same time. Probably a bad idea as I'm really noticing the bits from the book that they had to leave out or shorten. Like tyrion's trial and kid Bran getting attacked in the forest by the...

    Neurosis (mon July 25, Button Factory)

    Excellent. Have they played here since '99 in the music centre? I can't remember.

    snow

    That was a mad night getting home. I went from work for the luas to Tallaght. I sat on it for 20 mins in the same spot and had to get off. Another tram had broken down and stopped the line. Had to go back to Pearce street to get a bus to Tallaght police station and walk the rest of the way...
