If you have kids aged 8-13, then Captain Underpants is a real treat for them...

Ummm, the beautiful scenery, the clean air, the quality homebrew/spirits at the local markets, the friendly people? Anyway, cows are cute, friendly animals... (and tasty, especially with a good BBQ sauce on a wood fired flame grill).

Yep... You'll need TWC to setup a forwarding service for you. (Most ISPs in Oz offer email only services for a few dollars per month). Ask them, they might have something?

My motorbike, goes, vrmm, vrmm, vrmm to this...

Depends on your budget, skill set and product availability... For raw performance, fibre optics performs better (we are deploying 10Gb ethernet via fibre at work for all workstations), but it's more expensive to setup. (switches, NICs, etc are more expensive). 40Gb and 100Gb ethernet products...

WikiHow of removing wine stains... http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Red-Wine-from-Fabric

The field is called "Stylometry". There are a few research papers on it, but most of the stuff I've read about is about author identification rather than the state of the authors mind.

Thanks. Happy Birthday to Dave as well...

That was my thought... Anyway, depending on his/her location, they may require a licensed trades person to do the work anyway*. (and they should be able to advise on what is best for them). * Here is Oz, you actually require a licensed trades ticket to do any form of data/phone cabling. (as...

Last week, we had 33C (91F) during the day (18-Aug). Not bad for a cool winters day. (our avg at this time of the year is 21-22C). http://www.weatherzone.com.au/station.jsp?lt=site&lc=40854&list=ds According to the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology), we're averaging +1C above last year for the month...

Yep, last week...

I hope that all members that are either directly or indirectly affected by the recent hurricane are safe and well...

What about Amazon's Cloud Storage... Apparently they don't have real limits on how much you store... https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/a33j5a/a-redditor-archived-nearly-2-million-gigabytes-of-porn-to-test-amazons-unlimited-cloud-storage

:thumbright::rofl:

More likely they know people in the distribution chain, and can order/purchase cards before they even hit the retail merchants or end point distributors... Eg especially when miners are happy to pay RRP for cards directly from the local distributors... I don't know how it works in the US, but...

What makes it harder, that for my wife's form of EDS, there is still no genetic test available, but rather diagnosis is via completion of a checklist with points scored for each positive. With EDS being considered a rare disease, knowledge in the medical community about this condition (at least...

So what's the general mood in the US at the moment regarding the DPRK situation? Or are there other domestic issues that tend to be considered more important at the moment? At least China and Russia have (informally) indicated they will most likely remain neutral if lil'Kim starts it...

But do miners really care about per watt measurements, or only in the highest possible hash rate?

Thanks, unfortunately my wife's medical condition root cause is a genetic disorder ( EDS ), so there is little that can be done other than treating symptoms as they appear. We only found out the root cause of all her illness approx 18 mths ago, despite having symptoms for the last 35+ years (and...

I know I haven't posted much recently, but that's mainly because I don't have much to say in addition to what has already been said... Not much is going in my life at the moment... Work is picking up/getting more busy as more people are buying the companies primary product (...

IIRC, Zen cores are similar to current Intel offerings in single thread performance... http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7-1700x-6950x-7700k-cpu-benchmarks/

Not on an SSD. (Considering how sectors are remapped constantly based on wear levelling). Maybe that value refers to cells at write capacity? :dunno:

FWIW, we've had a stack of WD Red's at work that have been quite good in our storage servers... But the Blue's and Black's, yep, no so great failure rates. (we only had 4x Green's, never again). As for the NAND, interested to know what the write-capacity of those cells are... With each feature...

IDK, but the more I read about crypto-currencies, I'm seeing it more and more like playing the stock market... Some win, some break even, and a lot lose.

WTF? PIO = Programmed Input Output.... You know the first ATA transfer modes for IDE drives from the 80's/90's? PIO4 = 16MB/s max! Before UDMA modes! PS. please take the above post with humour and jest...

Typically I do for stuff that I use on a regular basis, but for stuff that I may only need once or only once in a blue-moon, then I typically don't.

Don't you hate it, when looking for a bit of older software, and you can't find it on the developers website anymore just because it's EOL. Now, I'm not talking about older versions which have been replaced with newer versions, but software that has no replacement... Case in point: Microsoft...

Something random: On the way to work today on my bike, I past a car for a mobile beautician... the company name as advertised on the rear window: "Luscious Lady Lips".

All I can suggest is a second opinion from a mechanic that specialises in brakes. (I don't know what you have around, but we have places around us that specialise in brakes, another in radiators/AC, another that specialises in suspension, etc). The other option is a new car, or if possibly a...

You should get similar symptons (eg video blanking) under Linux if it's a hardware issue. If none of the problems persist when running a Linux distro, this mostly points towards a software based issue being the cause.

My first thought was PSU as well... but with a G31 based motherboard have you had a very close look at the capacitors? (Might be a few bulging, causing power issues on the mainboard). IIRC there were a few boards from the era that suffered problems with caps when they all got 3+yrs old. Also...

Actually, that's very correct... From some training I undertook many, many moons ago: "The only secure computer is one that is locked in an EM proof/air tight safe, covered in cement, and dropped to the bottom of the ocean... And even then that may not be enough, considering your adversaries...

Hi time, In the forensics' world there are a number of tools to clone drives, the most common no-cost tool that handles bad-sectors with ease is ddrescue. ( https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ ). All the other tools that work all cost $$$$$. Also IIRC Symantec Ghost does a decent job with...

Not necessarily, just because they don't want to host mailboxes for customers doesn't mean they don't still want to run a virus-scanning/spam stopping gateway service. Also they may also white list some 3rd party services as well? Also have you contacted either your ISP to ensure there's no...

Have you confirmed that your ISP will allow direct sending of email outbound via a 3rd party SMTP server? (Some ISPs block all outbound email unless going through their own SMTP server to help stop SPAM being sent from their network). Also double check the IP Port for outbound email (some use...

Avoid Hollywood productions then... Hollywood is only making remakes, sequels, prequels, spinoffs, etc, as they're low risk, high profit ventures. It appears the investors are very risk adverse, demanding a return on all monies spent.

Ouch, hope you're recovering well! ;)

Coug, out of interest, what does your boss actually do, if you're already doing most of it?

I think that's part of the reason why Pauline Hanson is getting so much support from the populous. The general population now see that most politicians are there (especially those in the two main parties), do not support the people as a whole, but merely in parliament to enhance their own...

Our thoughts were the firmware sucks if you try too much async IO on them... They are OK if you are doing synchronous read operations, but if start overlapping read IO requests, they drop in performance significantly... But that doesn't explain the fast start but slow ending? Maybe something to...

Arch is changing the i686 version to a second-tier community supported version, the same as the PPC and ARM versions of Arch... Does this change effect you in any manner? (You sig would indicate not). Also, why OpenRC instead of systemd?

sd, we've been seeing similar things at work with some newer model USB Keys and SD Cards. I had to image a few USB keys last week, and 2 out of 10 keys would only read at 500KBps once you got past half way in the key (16GB and 32GB keys). Two SD Cards read at 50MB/s for the first 4GB, and then...
