  • Is my samsung toco mobile dialling out when using it as a usb modem?

    I tested it by getting someone else to phone me, and it doesnt ring when using via usb, but when on the net on its own, it will ring fine, as it connects via 3G. My sony ericsson did not dial up via usb, so is my samsung toco really dialling out to use the net when using the usb? Im not sure what settings i can change in any browser to make sure its not dialling

  • hot water tap giving unclear water, unless on full blast?

    The tap makes a gushing sound when turned on slightly, and the water is unclear. The water turns clear when left in the glass to settle, but does that mean its safe? If i want the water to be clear, and dont want to wait for it to settle, it needs to be on full blast. Is it safe? The plumber insisted it was ok, but i am uncertain.

  • The difference between sunflower oil and vegetable oil?

    If looking at one particular brand, why choose the vegetable oil over the sunflower oil? Sunflower oil IS a vegetable oil, since its made from sunflower seeds, and according to some cooking sites, is the healthier and tastier option. I am looking at a lidl vita dor brand right now, their vegetable oil is dearer, yet it states is best used for salads. Confusingly, the sunflower oil label states it is ideal for salads OR frying, yet is cheaper-surely this is just confusing the customer. Why choose the vegetable oil at all if its less healthy, used in less situations and dearer? Neither oil mentions genetically modified ingredients. Most brands are the same, having both a vegetable and sunflower option. I guess the majority of the public will not care which they use, but there seems no reason to ever use vegetable over sunflower?

  • Help with drive dvd burning problem...?

    My initial problem was a single dvd rewritable disc would not verify after burning in my vista laptop, so i thought it was a bad disc. I also tried it in my xp desktop, and no luck, so then i decided to try more rw discs as a test.. my rewritable dvd discs do not verify in nero or ashampoo burning programs at all in either system.. but yesterday they worked absolutely fine and have no scratches. Is it possible one system could be burning bad data, effectively ruining the discs? It is only with rewritable dvds, cds and cdrws burn ok and verify, so its not a drive problem in both systems. They always burn completely, but the only way i can burn ok dvd rws that verify, is by burning one or two single files and no more, any more on either system and verification will fail. I have tried reinstalling xp and its just the same after a format, so its not a program incompatibility or failing drive. There are no viruses either.

  • the new Knight Rider series with Val Kilmer... is it as bad/good as the original?

    Ive only just found out there was a new series of Knight Rider! a modern remake, that started with a 2008 movie early in the year (with the hoff making an appearance), and continuing with its first series from last september to present. ill guess its only showing on satellite tv in the uk at the moment? I remember watching the original with the hoff when I was very young.. so if youve seen that and seen the remake with val kilmer as Kitt (its true-not sure if thats a good thing), give me your verdict! Is it anything like the original, or is it just 'not the same' with someone starring that looks like he's probably straight out of Dawsons Creek? lol... :(

  • Your rock review on the new Guns n' Roses album?

    Ok, so without Slash, it can never be a true GnR album- a couple reviews have been quite good (kerrang, metal hammer to be expected) and the rest stating less so (Q magazines average rating also very predictable), but what was your own verdict?

  • why does the celebrity john barrowman speak in a fake american accent when on uk tv?

    John Barrowman is a glaswegian! I know he has lived in the usa for a long time, and was well known over there, long before he appeared on tv here. I know he decided to get rid of his glaswegian accent when us tv kept making fun, but he has admitted in interviews he reverts to his normal scots accent when around family. So why keep it up on tv over here in britain, only reverting back to his glasgow accent when telling jokes (such as yesterday on paul o grady!)? This puts him across as completely fake, when overwise seems like a genuine and quite a funny character. Does he hate the business that much, is it a bad habit, or is he just trying to put across that when working on tv not to take anything too seriously? What do you think?
