Yeah, but your GTR is useful. I have yet to find a use for a tablet that my desktop or lappy don't do better.

Would you buy a Commonwhore if you had an M3 and a 916 in the shed at home?

Yes

It is difficult to explain true love but let me attempt it through song:

Close your eyes, give me your handbrake, VLwagz

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Is this burning an eternal flame

I believe it's meant to be, VLwagz

I watch you when you are sleeping

You belong with me

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Or is this burning an eternal flame

Say my name

Sun shines through the rain

A whole life so lonely

And then come and ease the pain

I don't want to lose this feeling, oh~~ VLwagz

Boo yah!

Yet ANOTHER iMac bites the dust. A 24" POS. Started running slow so the Dev rebooted. It made a big beep sound on power down and now won't power up at all.

Dead.

i dont understand either side's argument that hackers will get you

i've been on god knows how many sketchy porn sites for the past 15 years, and whatever else i manage to get up to, and i've never had a problem

the IT guy at work has checked my laptops for any issues, and he always comes back "no issues, too easy"

who are all these people getting fcuked over by the internet all time?

having a PC , you may as well bender over now as the hackers will f**k you anyway

That's the single dumbest f**king thing I've read on the internet and demonstrates that you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

Be gone.

sad life if it is....

hahaha you my friend need to get out more. You havent a clue bud. I work in data centres all day, which all run PC based networks, mainly IBM or HP, as with most businesses, they are always under threat.

Mate im not here for name callin and disrespecting a brother.

Its a simple rule of thumb, that me and the boys have a work.

Dude, which data centre do you work in? I want to know because we use data centres and virtual servers for our business and I want to know which ones to avoid. Please tell me you don't work for Ninefold?

That you are under attack has nothing at all to do with your operating system. There are exploits in all software and people will try and break into anything. You could make wholesale changes to your operating systems tomorrow but the attacks won't stop. There's not a single network on earth immune to threats.

"having a PC , you may as well bender over now as the hackers will f**k you anyway" is still one of the silliest things I've read on the internet.

WTF, "PC based networks", what do you do at the datacentre? Service the AC?

when i say pc based networks,im talking about the generic coding that pc programmes run on un like mac,i work in the NOC room. National Observation Room in a few data centres.

Nah mate,its all good, thats why people use data centres they are man'ed 24/7, with people and programmes to stop unwanted s**t in the system. You can't get better security.

And with the comment "having a PC , you may as well bender over now as the hackers will f**k you anyway" is still one of the silliest things I've read on the internet, like i said earlier its a joke between me and the boys at work.

we say in regards to domestic applications, cause all the stories we have told between each other about PC products isnt generally the best

when you consider how much time and money people spend on security like norton's or kaspersky only to have there computer affected by some virus or trojan or the like.

I just made that comment, for a laugh.

You may get someone on here who runs no security on there PC, good on them but they run a very high percentage risk.

but you've got some programmers who write code for pc products who then turn hacker or smart evil bastards who go straight into writing code for worns and viruses to attack pc encoded systems.As the majority of the world uses PC and all the business in world run pc.

Pc's run on an open system, where macs run on a closed system.

The up and down side is, Apple have a monopoly on there products with only a handful of people making programmes for them but pc's its open to anyone,thats how you get all these different brands making software for pc as there is a generic code to start, then a programmer adds his own code to make a programme or for a hacker, adds his own code for a virus.

Im not here to defend myself, you either like it or you don't, get on with life.

Everyones different, thats whats makes life great!

OSX is every bit as hackable as PC. In fact, some people will tell you OSX is easier to hack as Apple has not put in 10% of the effort to defending OSX that Windows and 3rd parties have put into Windows defense.

Thing is, if I'm going to spend time write code to break into a computer, should I target 15% of the market with little penetration outside the home PC and lower online presence or should I target the other 85% of the market which pretty much saturates home and business alike and has a very strong online presence thanks to it being a far superior gaming platform?

I've been running bare for a decade or more and simply have no issues. I have a basic firewall which keeps out outsiders and don't click on links like a f**king spastic.

All I have is basic free A/V & standard windows firewall.

Pc's run on an open system, where macs run on a closed system.

Pretty sure Unix, the foundation of everything OS X since forever, is an open system and all OS run on a version of C.

Stealing a macs shit is actually pretty easy via a webpage or email. The cost of entering the programming game is virtually 0 no matter the platform you choose and you don't have to be smart to make damaging software.

You seem to be stuck, like a lot of people, in the pre-2005 Apple era where at least you could say they ran on the PowerPC platform and it was every so slightly harder to program for.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
