FC1 was amazing, I still fire it up for a blast now and again...

Re: This Study Is Biased

hmm, actually good point, plants are photosensative, would have thought the basics for eyes would have been before any animals...

Paul Woodhouse

upvoted... didn't realise yanks could be that subtle in trolling :D...

Paul Woodhouse

easy enough using pinyin, would be a much steeper learning curve if it was zhuyin, the wife's from taiwan so I have to set her keyboard up for zhuyin input, I learned Chinese on the mainland though, so I use pinyin... doesn't half cause amusement..

Paul Woodhouse

Certainly wouldn't be a Korma in Action... they are way too mild...

Paul Woodhouse

Preserve wildlife

Pickle an Otter..

Paul Woodhouse

one word...

Exchange...

had a particularly crap spec 2K3 SBS server running exchange, average size of mailbox prob. around 10GB, naturally it would frequently die, the HDD died in a slow strange fashion at one point, still working to the point where it corrupted my backups as well... spent a full weekend getting that lot back, (mainly by hacking peoples OST files into PST ones) one of the directors woke me up at the desk I had finally passed out at on Monday morning and the first thing he said was do you know email isn't working?

Paul Woodhouse

oh bloody hell...

my wife drive's a Jap import Mini Kensington...

Paul Woodhouse

Paul Woodhouse

umm

bit obvious but aren't hactivists a lot more likely to boast about what they got and criminals keep quiet then they can keep using it...

quite likely, criminals got a lot more thats not been detected yet...

Paul Woodhouse

well, there is a precedent of sorts, you'll have to fit him with Oxygen though and is that winter coat thick enough for the altitudes he'll be going to?

Paul Woodhouse

hmm...

Doesn't this mean that you have to tell it what websites you want it to check for?... rather than just ask your computer which websites you've been to... if a NAT'd computer is behind a caching proxy, isn't it likely that you'll get the same results for every computer in that network as well...

neat though...

Paul Woodhouse

in other news the Northern Island Office gained 127 computers or hard drives, no less than 71 BlackBerrys and "293 other items of IT equipment between 1 May 2010 and 30 September 2011".

This sentance contains so much FAIL

Create a complex password using upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters such as $%&!. Devise a way to differentiate your password for each site you use, for example putting the first and last letters of the web site name at the beginning and end of your initial complex password, making it unique yet easy to remember

Paul Woodhouse

htw4tt!ngl

Paul Woodhouse

heh, I've had a hankering for a DeLorean for ages...

The main thing that puts me off is I'd end up on an assault charge for twatting the 50th person who asked me where the flux capacitor is...

but that Volvo/Renault engine can be upgraded to the one from an Alpine Turbo very easily... mmmmm

Paul Woodhouse

Yes

Paul Woodhouse

hmmm...

Wonder if there's any brave souls going for www.iPorn.xxx

Paul Woodhouse

not tried Unity yet....

I'm happy with 10.10, no need to upgrade it, I'll fire up something with 11.10 on it soon just to see if I like it before I decide which camp I'm going to be in...

Paul Woodhouse

Spider traps aint hard....

stick a link right at the beginning of your page thats hidden to a human user, tell bots to ignore this link in robots.txt, any IP address that follows that link gets banned...

jobs a good un...

Paul Woodhouse

umm... maybe I'm being a bit thick here...

but have they never heard of robots.txt?

The moral of the story is wait for Service Pack 1....

Paul Woodhouse

I've only seen one infection get past it so far... ESET Nod32 is still the daddy though...

Paul Woodhouse

Paul Woodhouse

Paul Woodhouse

another thumbs up for gOS for an easy webmachine

dead easy to set up and novices have to really try hard to break it, works well on quite old hardware as well...

Paul Woodhouse

I thought this was already accepted

due to the fact that the nephrons in human kidneys are elongated to get the most water possible out of liquid that passes through them as in other desert animals...

Paul Woodhouse

Gym equipment is so difficult to work though

Paul Woodhouse
