Food for thought :y

Chinese manufacturer != made in china ::)

That brings me on to the next question.  Who are the current reliable hard drives sourced from.  Last time I was looking Seagate were cr@p but things change and that was a few years ago.

He never stole from our plates, but if it hit the floor...

A role known as the dropzone supervisor! ;D

General Discussion Area / NAS suggestions
« on: 28 March 2019, 10:27:17 »
I think it is time I got myself another NAS.  My last one, a D-Link 320, was woefully sh!te.  I know there is a fair amount of knowledge on the subject here and I would appreciate a download :y

It will mostly be for a CCTV system so needs to support SMB 2 or 3.
Expandable to at least 4TB
fastethernet preferable.
Not a chinese manufacturer (I find their manuals and implementations woefully inadequate)
Oh, and don't forget I am a stingy Yorshireman at heart so keep the costs down too ;D

Sorry for your loss Aaron, losing a woofbag is always hard but, as mentioned by others, there was little suffering.

In the legislation is also requirements for automatic braking systems as well as safety measures for other road users including pedestrians and cyclists.  It's not all about speed you know ::)

We are nearing the end of the massive game of chicken that has been playing out over the past few months.  Looks like the EU blinked a bit and now the ERG seem to be wobbling.  We could see a result one way or another by the end of the week.

I have a couple of tanks here to donate if you want one.  They would need testing to be LPGA compliant but they are free :y

Brexiteers are between a rock and a hard place.

They could be forced to decide between a TM brino or 'no deal'.........if so they will vote for Brino. :-X

an extension could well end in a second referendum, or an even softer Brino, or deciding we remain in the EU. ::)

I think we are f*cked. :-X
We are not necessarily f*cked, but both of the main political parties certainly could end up that way. A huge political vacuum will have to be filled after this is all done and dusted and, if I ever bother to vote again, it will be for the extreme right wing party that I hope emerges from the ashes.


Is this wise?.......... ::) ::)

Whatever could go wrong there? ::)

It goes through my mind every time I'm beside a lorry - to be honest, I try not to hang around on their off-side for any length of time, unless I'm totally trapped by traffic, because I don't want to end up like that Scirocco (or a colleagues wife who had the same thing happen in an Astra)!

Yep, me too, and doubly so in the Westfield. I tend to just sit in the outside lane at whatever speed that dictates. :-X

I can imagine! I should imagine I'll feel the same in the plastic fantastic when it's finished; there's no crash protection in a kit car!

The ranger gives you a better appreciation of trucker's blind spots though.  I had a fiesta that was trying that old trick to 'push-in' to a queue of traffic.  It pulled alongside level with the front of the ranger on the nearside.  Had I been in any other car I would have seen it and the indicator but as it was I just saw the roof of said rude driver and was oblivious to the indicator.  Rude driver obviously assumed that I had seen it and moved closer (oblivious to my knowledge) almost causing a low speed prang.  When I saw that rude driver was too close they got a blast of the 150db horn and they promptly did a Foxtrot Oscar.

You rang?  ;D ;D

Love Paris, personally, and the food..

Paris would be nice, if it weren't for the Parisians.  I felt very little love living there for 5 years, once the Parisians knew I was English they would often turn their backs or all of a sudden be needed elsewhere/product not available/etc.  In the rest of France it is a very different picture and most Froggies have quite an affinity for the English and British (some even know the difference between the two).

If you want a culinary experience like no other then I suggest you head to Lyon and eat in a 'bouchon' resturant.  These are certified as serving authentic Lyonais food which can be quite..... interesting  ::).  Poulet au vinaigre, however, is easier to stomache and is something everyone should try once in their life. :P

French beef should be at most medium-rare, personally I prefer blue with a big dollop of Dijon mustard or bernaise sauce.  nom nom.....

Try Montreal if you really want miserable French speakers. :-X

From experience, I find if you conflate anything French with the Quebecois they get very aggressive.

These mechanism were quite simple to begin with but as they could be broken with a little bit of computing power hackers now sell tools to bypass them on a unit basis.  In essence they have become a commodity whereby the cost per broken captcha is worth X units of computing power @ Y USD.  Thus they increase the complexity and change the scoring to try and make it cost-ineffective to break and affect the hackers business plan.

The user is caught in the middle.

Speckled Jim's can be quite tasty when cooked right.  Not sure it is worth a milleon squids though, I would just dispatch a couple from the garden.

Careless driving, the lorry driver? Reckless, in my book.

That usually is dependant on whether you are a cyclist or not.  Cyclist dead = dangerous driving conviction, anyone else = careless.

A crass generalisation, I know, but you very very rarely see anyone done for careless driving for killing a cyclist yet in the very rare occasion when the scenario is reversed people start talking about manslaughter charges.  Sometimes mankind beguiles me but not in a good way.
