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.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
