And yet here we had 39C yesterday, and around the same predicted for today... (39C = 102F)

Australia introduced labelling laws quite a few years ago to help people understand how much you are drinking... http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/code/userguide/pages/labellingofalcoholic4967.aspx

My guess, they figure they can get away with it, since the public are quite happy to acknowledge that 4K TV don't actually display 4096 pixels wide, but 3840 pixels, because you know, it's close enough to be called 4K... So 196GB is close enough to 200GB...

Can't give you exact details, but the Fax service is controlled by a number of registry keys in the following locations: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Fax HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Fax\FaxAccounts HKCU\Printers\Connections\,,<fax server>,Fax...

IIRC, there are splitters and switches available, however they may cause issues with the DRM/HDCP that's embedded with HDMI or may not provide support the bandwidth required for newer HDMI specifications... eg, https://www.jaycar.com.au/3-input-hdmi-switcher-with-remote-control/p/AC1705 is one...

My 2cents... Smart or Not... Definitely not. As a lot of manufacturers are basing the Smart side of things on Android, you're essentially running a huge tablet as your main TV... And there is a growing amount of malware targeting Smart TV installations...

Happy New Year to all! I hope 2017 brings joy and peace for you and your loved ones.

@Tannin @Tea, I assume this wasn't your store? http://www.hepburnadvocate.com.au/story/4376247/owner-of-central-ballarat-business-shocked-after-fire/?cs=12

Just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you enjoy a safe and pleasant holiday period. For all others who also celebrate other events at this time I also wish a: Happy Hanukkah Io, Saturnalia! Happy and Joyful Kwanzaa Happy Constitution Day Joyful Feast of Winter Veil Happy...

Any chance of getting a crash dump log (the log that occurs on a BSOD)? It'll at least point you were the BSOD is occurring. (most likely the WLAN and/or VPN driver).

My family and I had lunch at the local tavern's restaurant today, and across from us were a group of young blokes having lunch and a beer. Nothing strange about this, however one of them had a lot of ice in his beer and was drinking it through a cocktail straw? My wife and I have never seen...

Ol'e times: Doom3 BFG in VR (via HTC Vive). http://motherboard.vice.com/read/new-mod-successfully-brings-doom-3-to-virtual-reality

I hope he's well...

Pretty scary for what Lockwood are selling as a high-end lock. (Our's are Carbine's, not Lockwoods).

Admittedly, some would consider high-end for residential, but I would still consider low-end of the market... (having maintained Class A safes with dual keys, etc in the past jobs). Our primary dead-bolts are similar to these (in addition to the regular door handles/locks)...

We have, as the primary benefit was reduced house/contents insurance premiums. (High end locks on all doors, and locks on all windows reduced the premium by ~10%). At the end of the day, if someone wants in, they'll get it. But if you make your place that little bit harder than the neighbours...

Is Cowon America still an option these days? (other than being super expensive). http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/cowon/x9/

No idea, locally, the only dedicated MP3 players are either from Sandisk or Sony (and Apple). Philips still advertise a 2015 based model, but it looks awfully similar to a Sandisk... In saying that, the Sandisk Clip Sport meets all requirements, except no MicroSD slot and has a fixed battery...

If it's internal, it's normally, "Hello, <name> speaking". External calls, as per before...

Most companies I've worked for, the standard greeting is: "Hello, thank you for calling <company name>. You're speaking with <name>, how can I help you?" or similar.

In my best Duff'man voice: Oh yeah! https://tech.slashdot.org/story/16/11/09/1510219/google-searches-for-president-impeachment-canada-immigration-nuclear-shelter-skyrocket-after-trumps-victory

I would just like to congratulate the citizens of the USA on the election of a "fine" President. I'm sure President Trump will make history within his term in office.

@sed, Relationships are freaking hard... But the joy and enrichment they can bring to your life is immeasurable. Don't wait, get out there and enjoy everything that is on offer... Your lucky, in that here most of us are older (30+) with life experience to go with it. Some of us have been...

While I don't believe this to 100% true, unfortunately at 40+ most single women are typically divorced with kids, and if this is a deal breaker it certainly can be hard. If you have no commitments (other than employment) is there anything stopping you from packing up and moving? (I here the US...

This is so true. So many people I knew as a teenager, haven't grown up any more than from when I knew them at 18yrs old. (and hence why I don't have contact with them anymore). Unless they have a drastic life moment (death, cancer, etc), they never really mature.

No issues with the new forum software.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it's not just me. I guess this very minor but annoying issue is another reason to look at updating/migrating the forum software. (assuming there is no patch for 4.x of vBulletin to correct this issue).

Thank guys, Doesn't appear to plugin related (disabled all, no change). However it only happens if the editor window is in WYSIWYG mode when I click on "reply with quote". If it's in SOURCE mode, it works fine. Suspect some fault with how VB has integrated CKEditor. (To switch modes, it's the...

Hi all, I've had this on two different machines (both GNU/Linux based), one with Chrome and the other with Chromium. If I click on "reply with quote" on a thread, then the space bar input is ignored in the reply field. If I click on "reply" all works as normal. If I click on "reply advanced"...

So you don't own a set of screwdrivers and a power drill? Simply remove the main board from the case, and drill a hole in each chip. That's enough to stop anyone (except a few national states) from getting your data...

I thought Windows 10 has less than 25% market share? This seems to confirm: https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0 And the second link Newtun posted (trick or treat) indicates that the flaw exists in Win10, only Chrome has specific mitigations...

Hard to say with Logitech, as they seem very shallow about their specifications/limitations... And unfortunately, most reviews that go over the NKRO issue in detail are over 5 years old, during the time when most keyboards dumped PS/2 support. I do know that all DasKeyboard's are advertised as...

I thought it was the North Koreans? Or was it the people from Sealand? Actually I think it was the Republic of Zaqistan! Yep, Zaqistan!

Likewise, I have no interest in online backup systems.

Their database server isn't running.

We did... multiple times... One time lead to a huge fight between my wife and her mum... (at about week 5). And after that, we just let it drop as the household was becoming a nearly unlivable. At this point we had a hearing date for eviction, so we essentially kept quiet for 6 weeks until the...

Easy... Enable long paths in Windows. ( http://betanews.com/2016/05/29/long-paths-windows-10/ ) Update/reprogram all your applications so they solely uses the Unicode version of the Windows32 File API, and uses the UNC filename convention. And mark the application's manifest as being long...

Depends on the business size. SAP/Oracle (at least here in Oz) deployments start at AU$250K for the bare basic accounts system with ongoing annual support fees. Certainly not going to see it in SMB areas. In contrast QuickBooks, MYOB and Xero are roughly AU$1K deployments with very low support...

Sorry sed, but failure rates tend to follow a bath-tub curve (high failures within 6 months, low failure between 6-36 months, then high failures there after) with HDDs. Get your data off it, try the manufacturers diagnostic tool and get an error code, and return for replacement...

Unfortunately, with most telescammers being overseas from the targets, make it so much harder to track down and prosecute the people behind it. It's become a big problem here as well, we get calls calling to be from Telstra (the primary telco here), ATO (Aus Tax Office, aka IRS) or from...

I was under the impression most US GM was made in Mexico or Europe? To be honest, I'm not surprised by the shift to Chinese manufacturing. With Holden (GM Holden Australia) we have: Barina/Spark : Korea. (Daewoo/GM Korea) Astra: Poland/UK (Opel) Captiva: Korea. (Daewoo/GM Korea) Colorado...

More likely, it's Thailand, Japan, Mexico and Korea. The only Chinese made cars we have are direct from Great Wall/Havel and Cherry (both Chinese companies) and some VWs. I'm sure other manufacturers build in China for parts, but assembly is rarely done in China itself.

None of the majors. Pretty much all cars sold here are shipped in. There are still a few custom built cars done domestically, but even most of those are from kits. Some bikes are still put together from kits, but manufacturing is still done overseas.

These types of monitors are loved by medical and defence industries, but if affordable for the consumer, I see this as good for the IT industry in general.

I read about it, quite sad. But when botnets can produce a DDOS of over 1Tbps (http://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/51726/cyber-crime/ovh-hit-botnet-iot.html), it takes a lot of resources to mitigate against them. Seriously, most people I know have been calling IoT, BoT instead... (Botnet of...

It's the cloud, man. It'll solve all your problems... :bglaugh:

FYI, IIRC, there are currently no (public) plans for low-voltage mobile versions of these chipsets, so if you get a laptop with these, I wouldn't expect stellar battery life.

Not at all. My wife refused to update to Win10 (I downgraded her laptop from Win8 to Win7 when we got it), and the kids laptops are still on Win7 as well (all downgraded from Win8.1 to Win7 when we got them).
