Admin still have absolute power though...  

Oh no, that is not quite correct. Those with the root password to the Redhat server that runs it - that is absolute power  

Now how do you spell FORMAT again...?

The aerial might be internal, mines is built into the tax disc holder.

I would also point out to him that the thing is useless without the display, so it should be included in the price.  

The standard aerial is a little rubber type mounted on roof. On estates, I believe this is integrated into main aerial.

You could use aftermarket tax disk type. But for that sort of money, you could easily install a decent bluetooth carkit for you existing mobile (and therefore keep just one phone number)...

I have a facelift so stuffed but I do want the engine advanced to use higher octane - nothing lower than 97 goes in

Being an engine management system using knock sensors, it should automatically adapt to get the most out of fuel its running on...

Yup, looks like server came back up at around 5:40am - I little later than expected, but Microsoft had released a bucket load of patches so probably took longer to install than normal.

My Wega 100hz TV - the 4th one they have given me - has out of focus on left of screen (to the point of teletext being unreable), geometry wise, the top of the picture is 1" smaller than the bottom, and I have interference bands scrolling right to left all the time. As the is the 4th I've had, Sony UK have said thats just the way it is  

My Sony alarm clock, which works OK, but is so bright it lights up the room. What a crap design.

I had a Sony DVD player, multiregion, but couldn't play NTSC disks.

There is always a story behind Sony junk now. Used to be good stuff, worse than the cheap Goodmans/Aiwa type rubbish now.

I used to only consider Sony, and was happy with it. But in about the last 4yrs, every single piece of Sony equipment - DVD players, TVs, cameras, even their bloody alarm clocks have fundamental problems.  Some, like the well publicised issues with their 100hz Wega CRT TVs Sony fixed elsewhere in the world, but Sony UK refused, stating to fix the faults on the stuff they sold was too expensive.

I cheapo, no brand, Tesco special always outperforms Sony's overpriced, incapable junk.

I know Sony is not what it used to be, and some people can't stand them (Jamie?)

I refuse to have Sony stuff in the house any more. Overpriced junk, and never do what it says on the tin

This would also have been an opportune moment to use a smiley with clapping hands if we had one.  

As I said before, go find me a copyright free one that would fit in with the site...
