| 13:03.10 | Leeds | this was a .hk number, yes, but I mean in general |
| 13:03.49 | Leeds | as telephones become smart devices (i.e. devices with a name->number database built-in) people will become less and less aware of the number underlying the name |
| 13:04.20 | Leeds | I don't think I could give you a single phone number for anyone I've met in HK, except my own - all the others are just in my (regularly-backed-up) smart deivce |
| 13:05.15 | Leeds | in fact, I can't think of any in London off the top of my head either... |

| 13:07.46 | Leeds | murb: ah... yes, m&s in .hk :-) |
| 13:09.09 | murb | they closed all the m&s in .de |
| 13:09.19 | murb | apparently their only profitable bit were the food halls. |
| 13:09.21 | Leeds | I think they closed almost all the non-.uk m&s |
| 13:09.32 | murb | which is strange considering the general german sterotype of british food. |
| 13:10.04 | Leeds | they only have a small food section here - nothing fresh, obviously - so the store is almost all clothes... |
| 13:11.04 | Leeds | I know there was a big stink when they closed up in Paris - I think they may have handled the labour issues badly or something |
| 13:12.20 | Leeds | or maybe they didn't close it but the idea caused a stink... |
| 13:12.38 | murb | Leeds: something like the employees not being given a say in if it would be closed or not... |
| 13:13.00 | Leeds | yeah, something like that |
| 13:14.36 | murb | I don't rember riots when C&A left the uk |
| 13:14.46 | Leeds | heh |
| 13:15.36 | murb | although i was distrubed to notice lots of other shops in the uk selling stuff with C&A house labels on them. |
| 13:17.08 | Leeds | "A survey has found that a third of British people make phone calls while they're naked, while one in ten admit they've simply put the phone down and wandered off from a conversation, leaving the other caller talking to themselves." |
| 13:18.45 | Leeds | there are many things in this world which disturb me - including someone trying to sell me a bathrobe for 130 GBP - but I wouldn't say that C&A own brand in other stores is a big deal |
| 13:19.01 | Leeds | I have mentioned that one of the supermarkets here carries a decent range of waitrose own brand stuff, right? |
| 13:20.36 | murb | I've noticed walmart selling stuff with asda value written on it. |
| 13:21.53 | Leeds | AFAIK there is no ownership relationship between park'n'shop (the local chain - one of the local duopoly, along with Wellcome) and Waitrose/John Lewis |

| 16:32.52 | stephanb2 | 2 wks ago i was having a problem getting the bios screen to come up on a gigabyte mobo. |
| 16:33.12 | stephanb2 | the fans spin, but no kbd leds, no video. |
| 16:33.25 | stephanb2 | using another psu, everything works fine |
| 16:33.41 | stephanb2 | so i ship the case+psu back and get a replacement |
| 16:33.54 | stephanb2 | same problem with the replacement psu :-( |
| 16:34.10 | stephanb2 | now that can't be 2 dead psus in a row innit? |
| 16:34.39 | wethrin | hello |
| 16:34.51 | stephanb2 | i was wondering if any of u had ever had problems with a. gigabyte mobo startup or b. antec psus |
| 16:34.57 | stephanb2 | wethrin: hello :-) |
| 16:41.22 | cbz | no |
| 16:41.46 | cbz | Does the PSU provide enough power for the board? |
| 16:46.29 | stephanb2 | cbz: it's rated 450W and i am doing a test bench with just the mobo,cpu,ram,kbd, mouse |
| 16:46.42 | stephanb2 | no HD, FD, CDroms are attached |
| 16:48.40 | cbz | Is the board actually powering up in the antec case? |
| 16:48.50 | cbz | Presumably the fans are on the board. |
| 16:48.58 | cbz | Rather than connected directly to the PSU |
| 16:53.01 | JAV | http://customwheel.com/pimpstar.html (flash) |
| 16:53.52 | stephanb2 | cbz: i took the psu out of the case to do a bench test |
| 16:55.31 | cbz | In the case where you are using the antec psu, rather than a reference to the case itself, sorry. |
| 16:56.00 | stephanb2 | cbz: do u think antec do some weird ground loop joke, and i need to connect all the leds, speaker, case fans, etc?? |
| 16:57.21 | cbz | That is a possibility but I wasn't thinking of that specifically, I was just wondering if you had any real indication that the board had power in it - as you didn't mention on board LEDs I wondered if the fans working would indicate that (which they would if you actually had them connected to the board). |
| 16:57.59 | morsing | Check it! |
| 16:58.07 | stephanb2 | cbz: well the cpu fan spins when i close the "power" switch |
| 16:58.26 | cbz | Does it keep spinning? Or does it stop? |
| 16:58.33 | cbz | check it? |
| 16:58.53 | stephanb2 | cbz: and it keeps spinning until i hold the pwr switch down for 5 secs |
| 16:59.03 | cbz | Ah fair enouh - i'm out of ideas, sorry. |
