> I pretty impressed. Still a small amount of reverb, but it is barely noticeable. It cost about £100 to do that entire area using tiles ordered from Amazon. I stuck them up using Carpet adhesive as they wouldn't stay up with anything else.. so keep that in mind!
I remember having a macro once that shouted "GODLESS KILLING MACHINES!" whenever someone mentions 'bears'. Someone caught on and create the inverse and kicked it off while I was AFK. Good times.
@JourneymanGeek this has nothing to do with my znc config... accidentally connected with hexchat without specifying a network, so I ended up opening a channel on the wrong network
@JourneymanGeek the old 'unlimited data' lie. always seems like telecoms companies don't allow much freedom over in east asia though so i bet it'll be popular.
@allquixotic I've moved over everything on puppy over to my dedi. If you want to, you can probably nuke the VM. I really appreciate the hosting, but since I can run stuff on my own now (and I got bored at work, and needed to reinstall stuff anyway) ...
@marcusdoesstuff these guys are probably one of the cheapest/fastest telcos around. Also, this is for the trial.
@marcusdoesstuff: I don't really need unlimited data. I'd like to not downgrade too much to upgrade to 4G. Right now I'd drop from 12gb to 2 if I upgraded my plan to 4g
@marcusdoesstuff Phone companies here were fine until they got too comfortable ;p
@marcusdoesstuff none of the local ISPs do usage limiting. Its speed limited.
Mine's the 'worst' since they have different speed for local and non local sites (and advertise the former). OTOH, its good enough and I have ipv6 support natively
BeThere's products (and their whole raison d'etre) were aimed at tech-savvy people who wanted to either run their own equipment, or at the very least knew what they were doing, and could ask for different ADSL profiles to prioritise speed or reliability.
Along comes Sky, who - and let's be fair to them - have tech approaching tin cans joined with string
The other option I'd consider has 2 plans. gigabit, and gigabit low latency. Static IP is optional for a one off payment else its CGN. 50 quid for a static IP is fine.
(Since you mentioned Virgin... when I was with Virgin, I enquired about IPv6. I was told "oh, we don't need to implement that, we have plenty of spare v4 IPs still allocated to us". gg Virgin)
@bertieb Hmm, I've only ever encountered that with my router and it's generally something that I touch once or twice a year.
@bertieb The other thing that annoys me in the UK is how many flats are capped out at 8mbit because they're still running on copper wiring from the road. ¬_¬
The benefit of IP v6 are: 1) Enough IPs (try getting a /24 cq /c for home, that is hard these day). 2) No broken things like NAT (kick that garbage of the Internet!) 3) The design is cleaner (IP v4 datagrams have a lot of add ons)
But mainly: we ran out of IP v4 addresses years ago. We worked around that by RFC1918 IPs and NAT. If you remove that emergency band-aid then IP v4 means lots (half?) the people on this planet loose Internet access
I know we need to ditch 4 sooner or later, considering there are no free IPs left (other than the ones already bought up by ISPs). They do seem to be dragging their feet a bit.
@crl "the laptop is indeed quite hot" - probably (almost surely) that's why HDD started to fail. My friend lost his HDD in the same way. Fans were dusty, CPU was getting too hot, and HDD was getting hot too (because it was near CPU). He lost his HDD with all of his data without backups.
Recomendation: Buy new HDD, and tell them to clear dust every year (if they can't disassemble computer, let them use vacuum cleaner instead but clear more often)

weird, Firefox without hardware accel (3d accel disabled in VM settings) is slower than Firefox or Chrome with hardware accel, for Win10 on top of Win7 (both 64-bit) in VMware Workstation 12 Pro, on Sandy Bridge graphics
@MarcelBurkhard like Jet said, if it's strictly bounded at 2 users, then yes, it will be fine - a NUC has, at bare minimum, a Core i3 or Pentium of a recent CPU generation, which are more powerful than some of the crap people run SQL Server on (e.g. Core 2 era CPUs)
your limiting factor will probably be RAM -- stuff as much RAM into it as you can afford
@MarcelBurkhard as @allquixotic mentioned, databases are ram-heavy, but their performance also depends on HDD speed (when database is big) So you can consider SSD as well, or buy a NUC that has SSD inside.
@tereško great, that's a good app, purchase Seriously, is it a malware?
In a world where consumers have less buying power than ever before, paid services that do not require advertising or other monetization mechanisms that have privacy implications are becoming untenable.
The economy just doesn't allow for any alternatives.
Candy Crush Saga is installed as part of the base system for a reason. It can be removed, but asking for users to pay even a dollar for the upgrade isn't exactly palatable.
I would have no problem paying $.99 or other small sum for an upgrade if it did not entail these kinds of compromises, but not everyone with a PC has even a small amount of discretionary income.
@DragonLord "Power is getting concentrated in the hands of the few." and they are the people who make "a world where consumers have less buying power than ever before"
Practically speaking, power corrupts 99%+ of the time. There are very few truly powerful people who are still able to lead wisely and benevolently.
It is said that absolute power corrupts absolutely. While I see no basis for making a sweeping generalization that effectively claims that not getting corrupted by absolute power is 100% impossible (which would imply loss of free will on attaining or staying in power), human nature makes it exceptionally difficult in practice to stay benevolent in a position of power.
So if you do manage to move into a position of power (congrats!), you have to be very careful not to wind up with your morals messed up. It's not easy.
1) What do you think, what's the point of -> free <- Windows 10 upgrade? 2) Where are they getting enough money to feed their programmers?? (please don't say from Windows Store that has nothing inside)
@Jet Reduce the cost of development. Less fragmentation means less time and money spent on maintaining older branches of Windows.
A firm belief of mine (and I'm adamant about this) is that one can move up in society without becoming corrupt. Human nature doesn't have to get the best of us. If you know what you're doing, you don't have to fall into traps like this.
@ThatBrazilianGuy username ? user agent. One of them sites says i am using chrome , actually it is Maxthon :-) and the other just said Your using . . . . and never finsihed :-) so neither one of them know thier head from thier ass, because there are sites that know i am using an IE browser even when presenting a weird useragent.
@DragonLord "-Reduce the cost of development..." That's partially true. Partially because there is also another way of making money
Microsoft changed their privacy to "no privacy at all". Why? All it's because they get lots of money by selling your personal information to... and ... and ..... That's the way Google, Apple, other great-big companies work. Microsoft joined the party with Windows 10
In a world where consumers have less buying power than ever before, paid services that do not require advertising or other monetization mechanisms that have privacy implications are becoming untenable.
@DragonLord while that is very true that persons can make money via just hard work, and not being a scumbucket, does the same apply to corporations that the investors expect the workforce to create money from nothing? take for example the many corporations that have no real product at all. Facebook , twitter , really what do they provide a place to dump poop on the floor so people can come across and smell it ? what do they manufacture that anyone can solidly benefit from ?
Take windows if you had a fully functional non crashing system and set of programs, that viably operates for all things people wish to do. Plus recognise that a large percentage of the people just want to get e-mail and wander about the web, and have real jobs.
WTF does windows 10 bring any of them, as any sort of useful sellable product, that they did not presentally already own?
and not only. Apple is known as the Big Brother in providing data to US National Security Agncy. Apple is a known "brother"... others are unknown brothers.
Apple added fingerprinting to iPhone for convenience? Really, it's not that convenient feature for users. It's just another, better way of collecting information for ... And I don't want to tell who governs the US, EU and so on... few people but a large worldwide organization...
"Power is getting concentrated in the hands of the few." That's soo true.
How is that any different from a Box of corn flakes, it was what it was, it was food, you ate it, it did what it could do, now how do you have a corporate success from a box of corn flakes? 1) assume it is a sucess because well people are happily eating it, and will continue to do so 2) figure out some evil way to actually get your investors more money , by providing less and charging more 3) actually create and manufacture a product that also sells and makes money or is even worth more.
For example, consider you have fingerprints of a lot of datacenter sysadmins, where there is a two-factor authorization with fingerprinting and a password. Fingerprints - are from Apple, passwords* - use algorithms that are standartized, again, by "brother" companies.
That's a great power to get any info you want. Get any info about somebody - and that's a great power for manipulating/controlling the humanity. From up to down.
*for example, SHA was standartized by US NIST, and SHA1 was designed by the same National Security.
Your listening in on the phone , to see what the terrorist are up to, and you hear that IBM stock is going to drop to 2cents a share, you just heard that by accident while spying on terrorists. how many minutes will it take you to get a call in to your broker and unload the 300 shares of IBM you have? :-)
@Psycogeek you are listening to "terrorists" which don't exist in reality, and which are created by "them" for other purposes. For example, for making people afraid and for example, for attacking other countries "for freeing them" from the "terrorists" you created.
@Jet Oh come now we know that there are terrorists, because we have been terrorising these people for 60+ years now, and that tends to make them very angry and want to fight back.
The only places that have really free cheese without trap are Free Open-Source Software and forums like SE, where people do something for free, for them, for people.
@Psycogeek such people exist and they are not few... They are all over the SE, foss and so on; the people who really think and do for people... So you can't invite them all to a party ;)
@William'MindWorX'Mariager i thought they were saying some windows oem keys for the newer systems are stored like in the machine itself Bios os something? But the general "DigitalProductID" is stroed in the registry. so i guess the first try would be to search that manually in the registry?
"Embedded in your PC’s UEFI firmware: Many newer PCs that come with Windows 8 use a new method. The key for the version of Windows the PC comes with is stored in the computer’s UEFI firmware or BIOS" . That
@William they may be on a hidden partition of the drive. My Windows 8 tablet had a hidden partition where was system image and keys. Also they may be on TPM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module) which is being loaded by BIOS (as Psycogeek mentioned)
How sites like whatbrowser.org and whatsmyua.com are able to tell my browser and OS even when I explicitly set my username as some random string?
