At least it will make the game a little more interesting. IMHO golf is one of the dumbest games on the entire planet. What is the sense of chasing a little white ball across yards and yards of grass? I don't see it.
LOL that's pretty nasty and I like the comment immediately before it that was tempting fate Hopefully it'll be running on a nice OS with a MM which understands the NX bit.

If you are running pppd on Linux, it is pone for this as well. Even worse, if the pppd can do setuid root. Ups!

I also assume my private LAN is insecure so if it gets owned it can't leverage anything once it's turned into a control point. All VPNs I have are IPsec via OpenVPN to Palo Alto kit / AWS so hopefully no ownage there
Was referring to Hipsters and mnemenths story in part. My WRX most definitely had directional Potenza's on it

More Recently A5 Notebooks and a Pentel Graphgear Pencil to help keep the external memory joggers and sketches in is suiting me better.That's essentially Onenote. I don't mind Onenote at all. It's very useful and comprehensive, for project administration too.I basically use OneNote for everything. Also for task management “Microsoft todo” which is better than onenote for that stuff.

And if this is seriously affecting the implementation, I'm pretty sure, AVM will send out a fix as fast as they can.
Quote from: ThickPhilM on February 20, 2020, 05:31:31 amSorry to nitpick (not really, we all love to do it here...) but that's definitely not a Capri 2.8i...It has the square headlights, which marks it out as an early MkII, pre fuel injection and pre Cologne V6 days. The Cologne 2.8 didn't appear until after the dual round headlight MkII facelift, so if it's a V6, it'll have the 3.0 carburetted Essex. Odds are it's a 2.0 Pinto, since so many more of those were made.The alloys mark it out as a GT model.#petrolhead#fastfordsEDIT: Whoever put the roofrack on it needs a slapI once heard a catchphrase on that maker, arguing that they keep making cars solely to keep Opel from being the worst. My experience (Mondeo, Taurus, Cargo, Focus of some sort and being behind the Taunuses on Autobahn in the seventies, which is the source of the statement that Ford make cars where you fill up the oil and check the petrol) makes me believe this even more. The Cargo especially. Anything that improves with being sold to Iveco must have been truly abysmal initially.

5 minutes to 6am (Attachment Link) first pre road trip Caffeine imbibed second loaded ready to make then let the Road Trip commence. Later you mob.....
Regarding the Metrix and Yokogawa scopes a page or two ago: Do you remember the Pixar short film "Lifted" and the spacecraft control panel?
@ThickPhilM That is actually a quite nice bit of kit, I love the red LEDs on it etc but there is no known manual for it anywhere that I can find, and also if there was its going to be in French and if there is one thing in particular that the British are known for, its their general lack of a second language and I'm not the exception to that . I think its really quirky and I love it for that...hmmm.....
Quick one for our US friends. 34401A’s at $280:https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F303494509729I would buy one at that price in an instant but I’ll be mugged for £66 import which annoys me.

Does anyone know of where these may be available from, the smallest so far that I have come across has been 2mm and I think these are 1mm. They look to be pretty corroded anyway so it would be nice to replace all 4 of them.The unit is so sensitive that if I use leads with 4mm bananas and crock clips on the other end (1m long) on lower values the meter can actually read the capacitance between the leads as well. I have a very short set of leads that could be used if necessary, but its so much better to just push the capacitors leads directly into the sockets. I like the way that they have arranged the sockets to provide maybe the 3 most common pitches between the leads to maximise the accuracy of the readings, awesome.They look very familiar, do you still need some?DavidYes I do still need some but PA0PBZ has some slightly different ones that he is kindly sending to me. But as a back up just in case, do you know where they are available from, I keep drawing a blank in my searches.NOS I have in my spares, probably just as tarnished even though they haven't been used, remind me at the weekend if I haven't got back to you.David

Indeed. If it was £216 here I'd snap a couple up. Then sell one for £350 later on thus reducing the price of the first one to £82

Thanks for the link, sadly however they are closed until further notice
Why am I picturing a Ferengi in spandex on a gold pressed bicycle?
