Ordered from a website called Geekbuying who checked out initially but, no joke, got worse by the day* - luckily I paid with Paypal who refunded me :D

* It's now one of those 'Chinese, really, sites' that sells cheap/fake versions of genuine products.

Just deployed the following whilst attempting to talk to my very interrupting boss:

"Oh I'm sorry - did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?"

The graphics card in the kids' PC started blue screening and died.

I stripped off the cooler and stuffed the PCB in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes, let it cool, re-timmed and reassembled it and it's working perfectly. :D

Well, kinda... Amazon runs like a dead dog in FF recently, and I'm not the only one experiencing it. I tried EVERYTHING before, NoScript, safe mode, killing extensions, wiping history...

Installed YesScript and blacklisted Amazon from running javascript. Did feck all. Out of desperation, I blocked everything but the site itself with NoScript (I'd tried this initially) and now I don't get images from any link on the homepage, but the rest of it works as expected so far.

I don't know what the fcuk Amazon are doing, but this only happens on their site.

I use Amazon and Firefox together on my work PC and haven't experienced any of the issues you have with it. (8+\
