dfunkt Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 Good idea. ;) awesome Felix....just AWESOME!! like 7shades' rule, i have a similar rule i follow, specific to not keeping left....called the 5 second rule. if a car is in the far right hand lane when there is ample room around it that it could safely move into the left lane immediately next to it, and i happen to be in the right lane immediately behind it, i start counting to 5. i do it slowly, so it would take between 8-15 seconds to get to 5. once 5 is reached, i undertake them (which is illegal AFAIK in VIC if the road has a limit of 80km/h or above, but haven't been able to find the secion in the Vic Road Rules Law) while abusing them and honking. what happens from there is always a mystery. it's worked well for me, so far anyway. will be getting some hand held signs so my co-driver can hold them up for the offending driver to read if we're stuck behind them in the right lane, and for when we're passing them on the left. just so they know that they're doing the wrong thing and that they should perhaps re-read the road rules before they next go on a drive.

7shades Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 I can't seem to find a pic.... but... I had vinyl lettering made up to go across the top of the windscreen in my last work van. It was mirrored and backwards, like an ambulance. KEEP LEFT I would sit behind 'offenders' with the horn held down constantly and pointing to the sign until they moved the f*ck over. Quote

Tume Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 WGMG: When the laptop decides to crash, won't even get to the point where you can boot from cd. figured out after a while the quickest way to change it so I could manage to boot from cd. Ended up needing to wipe the HD and create Vista again. Gone and done that, set up the log in etc and now...It won't even get past startup. Quote
SLO-030 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 Vista home basic? Sif you'd bother. Quote
irokin Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 Vista home basic? Sif you'd bother. Especially with 7 home premium going for $120. Quote
Tume Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 No it was Vista Business, quite enjoyed it. Now I'm thinking it isn't even the software at fault (meaning hardware ;)), as I reinstalled from a wiped hard drive and it is continuing to shut down randomly and at most just get past log in. FML. Only grabbed this laptop about a year ago and this is the first major problem with it. Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 No it was Vista Business, quite enjoyed it. Can you please slap yourself... Quote
Tume Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Negative. For me it all worked fine and had none of the stuff like games to have mates trying to play. Quote
JiP Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Apparently if you bought Vista after mid last year you may be entitled to a free upgrade to 7. Tho I think everyone who bought Vista should be upgraded to 7 for free. Quote
Jason Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 I think every body should upgrade for free... click Quote
7shades Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 I think everybody should show Microsoft exactly how and where they can get f*cked, and use Linux. Its not as scary as you think. Quote
