Advantages: great look.improved handling
Disadvantages: easy to scratch.bumpy ride.

...these wheels are the BOMB!!! i no two people who have these wheels on two diffrent cars and they both look amazing.these wheels give a really good effect as your driving down the road. iv seen them on an impreza and they look really good but i think they look better on a sierra cosworth. these wheels are really delicate you cannot skim or drive up kirbs because you will scratch the wheels or at the worst you could buckle or bend the wheel.you also have to clean them regularly or else the brake dust fades the paint and its really hard to get it off it can stain your wheels but you can always get them reconditioned for approximately thirty pound a wheel. the advantages of having these wheels is being able to fit low profile tires and increase the handling of your vehicle but fitting these wheels with low profile tires will give you...

Advantages: Easy Installation
Disadvantages: Tech Support, Speed, Reliability, Maze of a website,

..., which is already limited to safe speeds by your router and the DSLAM (the 'router' at the ISP's end). They refuse to explain why this is required. And often set the profile far lower than set by interleaving (this is the process by which the optimum, safe, speed is found by your router and the DSLAM). Having this profile set too low can (obviously) reduce the speed of your Internet connection, and on top of this provide no positive side effect. BT claims that the BRAS profile restrictions prevent your connection being 'overloaded', this is rather vague and they refuse to explain further. They also refuse to comment on why other countries can operate fine (all other countries in fact) without a BRAS server restricting your connection speed. Raising the BRAS profile assigned to your line requires that you phone BT technical support. Good... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too many to list

...There can be no understating how bad this handset really is. Bulky, heavy, style-free and technologically challenged! The handset looks at least five years old. It is now available as a dual band handset M3788 on some of the networks. The screen is two line and low res, taking text only. The keys are not low profile at all. They have a sloppy action and are easily activated in pockets and bags. The power key is situated in the bottom left and is readily switched off in a pocket. The menu system was presumably not designed to be used by a child, but possibly designed BY a child (of about 1 year). It is hopelessly awkward and not at all intuitive. Accessing functions is slow. Clear key requires repeatedly pressing and holding to clear the phone down. Avoid this phone unless it is wrapped in a £20 note.... Read review

Advantages: Very silent, very stylish and very good at performing
Disadvantages: Not too many expansion possibilities, no DVI.

...an equivalent Shuttle. - It is actually smaller than most other SFF-systems. - It is SO QUIET! All I ever hear is the harddisk drive (which only whispers). - Is not picky on RAM - I run it with two different types of Corsair with no problems. - It is stable and performs well. The downsides are: - It is hard to expand. Only room for one harddisk, only slim optical drives and (worst of all) only low-profile expansion cards. - It was born without safety fuse in the external amp (should be fixed in the later models). - No DVI on the onboard graphic chip. In order to make use of my high quality TFT through DVI I had to find a low-profile PCI-E graphic card including a low-profile bracket. I was shocked to realize that most LP-cards is not sold with LP-brackets! I ended up with a Winfast (LeadTek) Geforce 6200TC which does the job beautifully. As I have... Read review

Advantages: Networking, fun, thousands of songs to listen to
Disadvantages: Not all music is recognised

...Last FM is in my view the best website on the net!! ........except for Ciao of course!! Err.....anyway, The premise of the site is to build up a profile of your musical tastes and then to compare and contrast with other users. As you listen to more music the more accurate your information wil be. Ok. Lets start from the beginning. Firstly you will need to register with the site, Then download their software this is in order to be able to "scrobble" your music from your win media player or i tunes onto your profile page. ( You must allow both last fm and your music player to have access to internet otherwise it won't work!) You should now be ready to start... CHARTS Once you have listened to a sufficient amount of music the site automatically matches you with other users who have similar tastes. These are called your neighbours... Read review

...Faceparty, a lot of people do not add pictures to their profiles. This often leads to them getting low ratings, or none at all. you should also be wary of these people as they may be telling lies about their identity. For those who do upload pictures, they are put througha screening process where members of the Faceparty team determine whether a picture is suitable for general use. If not, these pictures are restricted to those only with CoolTools. You will find some younger people hanging around on there also, even though the minimum age is now 16. This changed a few years back after some younger members were caught and nationally reported to be putting explicit pictures on their profiles. This, although acting as a deterent, does not stop younger members from accessing the system, as no verification is required at the registration point... Read review

Advantages: You can burn off a Porsche 911, or load it up for a summer camping trip, either way a very useable car!
Disadvantages: Some problems on some models are possible, eg Turbocharger can suffer from severe driving.

...So, everybody likes the Volvo 850 range. But which is the best, which is the ultimate, which is the fastest, the sportiest, the most quality of all 850 models? Well, it has to be the T5R We have had our T5R for a couple of years, and we paid around 16K for it. It was second-hand but with very low mileage, excellant condition and in the Primula yellow we wanted. As it stands with its 17 inch alloys and extra low profile tyres, the semi-tinted glass against the yellow paintwork... ...it looks very smart. Get in, and the leather seats are very comfortable. The driving position is excellant with full seat movement at a touch of a button. Then the engine starts... It is quiet, very quiet and the usual Volvo whirr can be heard. So, its a volvo with alloys. Not quite... Infact it is also very fast. It can beat a Porsche 911, and the car... Read review

.... It took me over 40 hours to finish Valkyrie Profile, though I figure I could have managed it in a lot less time. Not enough was made out of the endings, which was disappointing, but there is a sole side-quest available near the end. While the game is lacking in certain departments, the presentation and combat system make up for it. A great RPG experience, though perhaps not worth the high price it commands as a rare PlayStation title (highly sought and low in print). Of course, there is always the PSP port, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth.... Read review
