I had no option other than telstra cable in a previous apartment. (and last time I had a telstra services) the cable link would constantly drop out, like 5 min working per hour. it took them months to troubleshoot had tech onsite at least 6 times, replaced everything. till one friday I came home from work lets call it slightly intoxicated. red light on modem again, call tech support they said would need to send out a tech. I cracked it. pointed out that we had replaced, cable from node to appartment, cable from plug to modem, 3 modems, cat 5 from modem to PC. I ahd repaced Lan card in PC re installed os, grabbed a laptop from work to test. all failed, what would tech do. so they escalated to 2nd level, call at 10 am sat they found the amplifier at the CBD exchange I was connected to was not switched on. (translation no-one in my suburb/area had a stable connection) explained thats fine, however after giving up so much of my time to trouble shoot I was not paying the install fee (99$) nor the first 3 months as I did not ahve a working connection. support said no worries would sort it. month 4 bill came with all fees still there called billing explained they said would sort it. month 5 same month 6 same and I explained I was not calling back and would not pay bill till they sorted their crap out. 12 months later get call from telstra. rep Mr Sullivan I see you have not paid our bill for 18 months... me Yes thats correct rep um were you planning on paying me, please check call records. rep starts reading..um mr Sullivan can I put you on hold 15 min later ok bill is fixed when can you pay out standing balance..me will sort out today. never again.

I loved it. I was working for a good bunch with a very non micro managed boss. working across sites in melb, canberra and Syd so that was also the beginning of my flying as well.

When I was doing desktop support we were looking at Think pads for the first time. the sales guy came in to show us the product, my co worker was prob around 180kg at the time. the sales guy closed his laptop put it on the ground and told co worker to step on it re opened and continued working. Apparently for the product release they jacked up a commodore put 4 laptops under it lowed it back down and drove it off, all were fine. we ran 50 for about 4 years, only 1 broke when a manager tripped rushing to a meeting and threw one half open over the balcony onto a marble floor. which cracked the screen plugged into a monitor and laptop still worked fine. after that had T42 T60 T61 all fine. best laptops I worked with. after that we got some HP Elite books, of our team of 14 mine was only one to make it to the 3 year mark and it was on it's 3rd motherboard. on a Lenovo X1 carbon now as I need a light weight travel one and it's perfect 2.5 years in and no service calls again.

Dell are crap, HP are worse. https://www.jaycar.com.au/usb-to-parallel-bi-directional-cable/p/XC4847 https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Cables/Printer/54341-UP236A?gclid=CjwKEAiA79zDBRCgyf2FgeiY-CESJABzr0BMeJWUwmuZKu2cSe_vwVFJKQBTnFtRinYuGm4z2ReWMRoChovw_wcB had a very good run with Lenovo thinkpad. I'm due for a new laptop in 6 months and first time ever don't want to give up the old one.

the Mosque is closer so it evens itself out.

I'm assuming so as a couple look like they have been there for a while wonder how long it will last, in the main run of shops around the corner from a school and across from a church..

So is this becoming a thing. Saw at the end of our street the other day a new "massage" place, all windows covered over and a cheap LED "OPEN" sign at weird hours in the window. then when heading up to the supermarket the other day Katie Spotted another 2/3 near by all in rows of shops near the station where did these all come from? Is there really enough rub and tub industry for them? Not sure if just blind or if they all came recently (pun intended)

must be classy...more brothels in that area than anywhere else in melb. (perfect timing that this came up a couple hours ago) http://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/news/monash-is-melbournes-new-suburban-brothel-capital-as-vcat-approves-ninth-massage-parlour/news-story/ba997ed874895bfc3c83a7d1f6550561

this. at the new place I'll be going to NBN fixed wireless download speeds drop a little but uploads skyrocket which will more than make up for it. (esp when doing deca videos) plus cheaper. 100/1.5(optus) now to 50/20

I was going to reference that lambo, but was too lazy to google it.. http://jalopnik.com/5065896/hand-made-lamborghini-built-in-basement-finally-sees-light-of-day

front view that works, but as soon as you get a side view it's all wrong, soo long in the rear quarter that messes everything up. in my books, (which I know count for nothing) a replica cannot be built on an existing car. they just never work. thus the Cobra/GT40/Caterham's all work as they a purpose built chassis. http://jalopnik.com/5152937/top-scandal-top-gear-live-using-mr2-based-fake-ferrari-360-spiders

I'm mixed when it comes to replicas. If your building a cobra/GT40 kit car and sticking with a big ass V8 and some slightly modern suspension and brakes I'm a fan, A lambo with a VW frame and a 2l subie motor hell no. your Ferrari 355 thts actually a MR2 (I'm looking at you here top gear) go and EAD. the big thing is however if you claim your replica is a real one..best expect to be stabbed.

It's substancially longer than that. however as the hackers use the same key for all ransomware of that version. think of it as a car key, there a near unlimited amount of key shapes that you could use, however if Nissan were to use the exact same barrel on every car...makes it easy you get any nissan key and your sorted Kaspersky pay for a single fix then use that key to decrypt all the other people. EDIT: as for AES 256 bit encryption, for AES128 even with a supercomputer, it would take 1 billion billion years to crack the 128-bit AES key using brute force attack. This is more than the age of the universe (13.75 billion years). http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1279619 So AES256 is pretty secure. and if you worried about that move on to ECC ciphers.

When in doubt buy them out. Swear that was the catch phrase of the 2000's in IT.

I've oft wonderes about this myself. but considering we are protecting gliches in other peoples software it's prob not happening. Doubt we could bribe Microsoft to put in a vulnerability in their OS just to sell a little more Anti virus. there enough bad code out there already without us having to get more.
