  1. I'd love to see some of those classic American cars over here, I don't think they'll take off in a major way though - they simply won't fit on our roads!
  2. Building a PC is much more simple than people make it out to be; however, it's not easy. I would say it would be best to go with a mediocre pre-built and then add components later on down the line once you've got an idea of PC hardware. I'm afraid I don't know a huge amount of pre-built PC providers in the US, but newegg tends to be a pretty safe bet. Some pretty good entry level kit on there for very acceptable prices.
    Very nice, especially the links to a number of maps on the right-most tab - very useful! There are however a number of things I would like to see: Another column in Officers to show them attached to calls or reports entered An option in Officers status to 'Attached to job' or similar Also, the log registers calls as completed when the programme is opened, rather than when they are submitted. Otherwise very nice!
  3. Interesting to see they don't encrypt radio communications during something like this. Good to hear there are no life threatening injuries so far.
  4. As said above: don't open it and start fiddling - that will void the warranty. Take it back and get a replacement or refund, then spend that money on a self-built computer.
  5. There's evil everywhere, no matter how peaceful a place is. Nevertheless, a tragic event.
  6. Yeah, I've come to the slow realisation that I'm going to have to pump money into this. I was looking at this to upgrade too.
  7. Yeah, I was hoping for some advice that wasn't going to be as expensive as what they suggested over there... If it works and it isn't broken - don't change it!
  8. Hi all,I've had this computer for over 3 years now and I've been very happy with it. Recently however, I've noticed that booting it up can be a bit hit and miss, with it sometimes booting up fine and sometimes turning on but not powering up the peripherals (including the monitor). I have put this down to a PSU issue but I'd like some second opinions.My system specs are: CPU: Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-3820 (3.6GHz) 10MB CacheMobo: ASUS® SABERTOOTH X79: SOCKET 2011, R.O.GRAM: 16gb Corsair Vengeance Pro Series DDR3 1866MhzGPU: 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 670 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision ReadyHDD: 2TB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s HDD 7200RPM 64MB CACHESSD: Samsung 250 GB 850 EVO Solid State DrivePSU: FSP 600W Quiet 80 PLUS Quad Rail PSU + 120mm Case FanI'm aware that FSP aren't a particularly well respected brand but it hasn't given me any issues previously - could it be that my PC simply needs more power?Thanks in advanceStripe
  9. I wouldn't say scaring them into respect. Though I certainly can't see a clear objective of these videos.
  10. Very interesting, thanks for the input. I'm not 100% sure what these videos are supposed to achieve, and showing untrained/experienced MOPs it might serve only to reinforce the delusion between Copper and Average Joe. My responses to these situations are: 1) Maggie) Despite not knowing what the original 999 call was, my guess would be that two or more double crews would respond to it - this has become common practice with domestics and I'm sure this would be treated as one of those. There is no way the male officer would have not been looking at the suspect, this would make a slit neck massively less likely and he would surely see the knife and shout up. However if it did happen I would activate my panic button with my left hand (I have my radio on my right chest) while going my ASP with my right (worn on the tac belt just left of my stomach). Though it isn't taught in training, the ASP can be used as a deadly weapon - any strike to centre mass or the head will cause massive injury and likely kill and in this situation I would most certainly use this option if I was able to draw it in time. 2) Andrew) During night time economy patrol you NEVER leave your partner no matter what is happening, so this would never occur. These patrols are rarely mobile (as in they don't have a car) and are carried out on foot which is why I assume the officer was holding him against the wall rather than removing him to the car. Again should this happen I would uncuff the suspect and go to my colleague who sounds be in serious danger of being killed - life over limb I'm afraid. His message was transmitted over local airwave channels so any officers in the area would also be responding. 3) Robert) Now that would really suck. I would certainly have to pull the guy out, as I3ubba said there's no use him frying to death so you might as well try to get him out. Thanks for the replies!
  11. The Scottish Police Federation released 3 videos last year all entitled '#itswhatwedo' following the story of a certain police officer in a given scenario. Though they are now somewhat old I would like to see the views and reactions of some of you! Links to the videos: #itswhatwedo - Maggie #itswhatwedo - Andrew #itswhatwedo - Robert All of these are fairly gut wrenching, and all scarily possible. I think due to training, scenario 1 & 2 would be unlikely to happen (although you never know) but 3 has certainly been experienced by officers and civilians alike who have come across an RTC. Let me know what you think!
    What a great looking car mod! Fantastic quality as always!
  12. I believe you can use Ctrl+M then U,I,O to change the patterns of your lights.
  13. You want me to whittle it down to one?! Don't be insane... If I was being really picky though: The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim - played it since day 1 and most of my off days are spent playing it Star Wars: Battlefront II GTA: San Andreas
  14. Could you post a video with the sirens being used?
  15. Sorry, I struggled to decipher this... Did the officer get decapitated in the crash?
  16. Oh my... Maybe I should play this on my car's tannoy while I drive around?
  17. ​There's no need to be degrading and rude. Though presidents don't directly start terrorist organisations, their involvement in the Middle East with the Gulf Wars, Iraq/Iran, Syria etc lead to massive power vacuums where corrupt governments were removed, and the US failed to institute a strong government. ​Keep in mind Bush actually funded Al Qaeda with money, weapons and surplus to fight the Russian invasion.
  18. ​What does this have to do with the PATRIOT act? This just sounds like a rant to me. The PATRIOT act is unconstitutional under the 4th and 9th amendment. It was Bush's way to say 'Hey actually guys, we are doing something about this terrorist attack' and to attempt to gain the support of the American populace - he and his advisors were so wrapped up in the turmoil caused that they failed to properly scrutinise the bill. ​Internal Law Enforcement shouldn't have major roles to play in detection and prevention of terrorism - that is the job of border agencies such as the FBI and CIA. You say 'Without that Act, small Sheriffs Depts. can't do s**t against ISIS, Al Quadea, Boko Haram or whatever those motherf****rs called.' well why would they want or need to do anything against them? It isn't their job to act on a global scale, their job is to protect the residents of their small towns from criminals. Do you really think a terrorist organisation will attack a village of 500 people?
