  1. One time passwords...just saying.
  2. Does the accent have a sport button. the elantra I had up in syd did. its great, it very slightly changes how much resistance there is in the steering, tots worth it.
  3. Bathurst ticket went down a treat. that said I drive a clapped out falcon ute, drink VB, and are moving to the country. much prefer to be classified as a bogan than a hipster.. on a side note, my old Noise Cancelling headphones are officially dead, ordered some Bose QC35's should be a nice upgrade
  4. hang on, you hate something...that does not seem normal. how much trouble am I going to get in when I buy katie a ticket to bathurst for our anniversary?
  5. da f**k, I hit quote on Hatish's post and it brought yours up. f**ken forums

  7. ok along the lines of what I expected, cheers
  8. Alex you mised a q I asked a while back that I was curious on. Person owns a flat. Body corp finds a prob with building and gets a quote tells every-one that it will be 40K each to fix. Owner sells prior to the work being done (and thus bill paid) Does this expected bill need to be disclosed? or can they do a dog act and dump it on the new owner,.
  9. Nah the only accor group hotel I use is when in Vietnam. I mainly stay at SPG (Sheraton/Westin) (mainly as they upgrade me to a suite.) or if not one in town the Marriott chain.
  10. DO not use KAT... they got shut down and some of the new ones are just for tracking people....
  11. They had ballers on the Qantas inflight entertainment. Started watching it.. kinda awkward when they come to serve you drinks and there full nudity and sex on the screen. was good tho, preferred Entourage but its getting there.
  12. I wear suits..
  13. So taking that idea one step further is to then set a specifi torque map in each gear, so as to not spin up tires in ow gear and stress on driveline..ie exactly what the new 488 is doing: "To aid traction and allow the use of shorter, acceleration-enhancing gear ratios, each individual gear has its own torque map, the full 760Nm only available in seventh. " http://www.motormag.com.au/reviews/1603/ferrari-488-review/
  14. Don;t call these guys Hackers, thats giving them way too much credit, it is script kiddies doing a Ddos via a zombie network. (if it was an attack) It's that easy even Birds could do it. http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/renting-zombie-farm-botnets-and-hacker-economy the funny thing is load testing is a very similar process, get a whole bunch of boxes and start loading/posting data to the site. monitor. What is interesting is that this might not actually be a DDos attack just a crappy scoping exercise. so apparently they estimates the traffic at max 1 million users per hour, so the load testing at 150% would be 1.5 million users. now lets say there around 10 million users submitting online. I would guess around 1/2 would have sat down in the evening and gone ok Fk it lets do it. so 5 million in 2ish hours or much more than they scoped. they could have Ddosed themselves with legit traffic. that also said doing it in the "cloud" is meant to mitigate this as they can just virtually throw more CPU's at it till traffic is gone.
  15. well they failed so yes exorbitant. to load test something that they expect 10 million hits in a couple hours...well you have to replicate millions of users, honestly to do it properly I would expect it to be more.
  16. on a plus note america gets a copy of the census data as well. the joy of hosting it via a US Cloud company.
  17. but that way it sounds boring...experiment!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_toothpaste so the chemicals as per above. oh crap found the original with subtitles... they added petrol to the mix to give added flammability!
  18. that stuff is non flammable (well meant to be, plus the liquid color is wrong, they are pouring in a perfectly clear liquid.
  19. annoying way to reference it, but think it was this one, Lots of O2 released so flames are easy.
  20. we sent a bit of coin. but got one that has different spring rates to both sides as different weights of Katie and I. I was skeptical, but I used to love traveling for the good hotel beds. Now I look forward to coming home for the good bed, Split spring rate, pillow top, from snooze, never looked back.
  21. the good ones will ahve you lie on a demo bed to see where you need support. then recommend the correct. oh and steel frame over wood (that last is not a real recommendation)
  22. I think there is a lot more data breaches than you realize. Even in AU gov, Unfortunately Au don't have mandatory disclosure laws like US do. (there if you data is hacked the company has to provide you with credit monitoring for a period of years) It does usually end up with a call to us to make sure it does not happen again however. if it does make it to the press we just get the call even sooner. anyhow I'll leave your anti social media paranoia and will get back to actually securing your data.
  23. yes but I also know the effort Tax office puts into securing data., and Know that ABS does not put in same effort. Short of it is a census form has all the details I need to apply and get a short term loan, Credit card in your name. having access to your Instagram of funky coffees does not do that. Biggest issue with un savory people and Social media is knowing when are away for theft and they can target things. (yes I am glossing over the whole grooming/catfish/ such as not relevant to this convo)
  24. there is much more than just name involved here however. names, address, salary, birth dates so on.. the info they are collecting could be used for quite a bit. Seeing on Facebook that you were a rebel and got a Tiger beer singlet not a Bintang one is not really identity theft.
