  1. Just wanting to pick the brains of any1 in the UK who has recently purchased a desktop.

    Looking to spend about £300 to £400 for a desktop with monitor for kids playroom. They're 10 and 7. It needs to have a nic as I plan on connecting it up to the home network . I ileaning towards a dell at the moment but as I haven't purchased a puter for at least 3 years wanted to see what u guys came up with. Cheers! Oh and happy new year!

  2. I am liking f1 more now that hamilton is around- there is actually more "racing!!" and overtaking and its not as much as a procession as it used to be. From the sounds of the complaints coming from half the drivers thought they shouldn't be racing - they seem to want it to be boring - fact is motor sports are dangerous and if you can't cope with it you should get out.

    Saying all that the FIA bias for Ferrari is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!

    Some of the FIA staff are obviously taking backhanders and are at the very least amateurs

  3. just wanted to say cause i just saw that this is still here, that i found one better, its called Dr.Java. its works and is simple, not setup needed at all, just download, open the program (u dont even need to install it so u can put it on a flash drive and take it with u) and program.

    Gotta say eclipse is the bees knees :rolleyes:

  4. Stepper Motor Application Notes:(From Microchip)

    AN907

    Stepper Motor Fundamentals

    AN906

    Stepper Motor Control Using the PIC16F684

    AN822

    Stepper Motor Microstepping with PIC18C452

    Here is a webseminar:

    This webseminar introduces three types of stepping motors. The various components that make up each type are explored as well as how they interact to rotate the motor. Subsequent webseminars will be available to expand on topics not discussed here.

    If you need "samples" of most types of PICs

    Hope that helps,

    -Tim

    edit: - its not stepper motors but if motor control interests you -

    Make Magazine: Baja Buggy

    Baja Buggy (Every thing you need to build one yourself)

    Built these up to teach people about driving a motor.

    Thanks for the links Valkyries -will follow up and have a read. I am still actually working on this project - looking to develop something comercial from it eventually but for now its just for personal interest.

  5. A good approach to this type of course which is covered on a weekly basis(ie:3 lectures and an assignment and reading each week) rather than having a start date for each iteration of the course(have a start date for the first run obviously) is to set up a subforum for each week of the course along with wiki entires and/or web pages so people can jump in and out when they have time. Have a number of regular irc times available to fit various time zones - I know there are other web technologies that could be used but this is a good start.

    Then people who have done the course or are even just a few weeks ahead can act as mentors/peer helpers as well as any regular course admins.

  6. I'm stealing some shit from another post I wrote... and I think it is relevant to some of the concerns about what you will have in the END to show. Rather then say a degree or certification, you will have NETWORKED people into your life, People that can vouch for your abilities... And ultimately that say's a lot more on a resume'.

    I am more of a social person. I kind of need some group dynamics to keep the pace moving.

    I'm wondering if anyone is interested, or knows of some resources, where you can hit the online courses available together, as a "class". There would be more Peer review. The ability to have someone else check your work. Help teach materials, (the biggest/best method of actually learning/remembering information). Peer-pressure to keep up with class lectures, discussions, and work. It could also make the course work RELEVANT in real world circumstance from a stand point of what you have to show for your knowledge, (not a degree/ certificate??), instead you would have REAL people saying "yeah, we learned this stuff on our own.., and so and so brought this asset to the table..."

    It would be a real (social) networking ordeal. Just think of the parallels of accomplishing such a task as they relate to non-centralized business models that use various tools to accomplish a project using world wide resources...

    It would be interesting project to see if this could be done. Somewhere you could pull together and set up classses based on online courses/material.

  7. This sounds like someone took the #hak5auditorium and ran with it, as moonlit said.That was Amish's baby if I remember... what ever happened to him?

    Yeah , where did Amish go??? Probably still jumping off rooves and stuff.lol

  8. hehe- yeah with little sticker to put on your forehead!!;P

    How about a regular weekly class irc channel - make it a bit more formal where peeps know they can turn up and there will be others there who are involved- rather than jsut going to the hak5 irc on an ad hoc basis hoping someone is gonna be there?

  9. Yeah I'd love to do this course but agree if we could implement some sortr of community structure to develop this as an open course with peer involvement that would be great. Again the linux basics course springs to mind as an example of this that could be taken further

  10. Wess - nicely said, also thought despite the form of your resignation (and I thought it was quite diplomatic) it was sensible for you to give you side of things in this thread after Darrens post - more likely that this can be put to bed now rather than continue to fester. Hope you two can get it sorted it out between you. Must say I always thought Hak5 was a partnership between you , darren and paul as well. Thats quite often the problem with projects started for fun rather than as a business from day one - nothings written down about ownership and peoples personal relationships have a way of getting entangled in the project ;)

  11. Pointed them out to the Wi-Fi Pineapples segment in where Darran clearly steaded he owns the Wifi network of the coffeeshop and the fact of promoting of how to setting up a honeypot crack your self.

    And beside all of that a full copy of this forum tread.

    Gerard

    What a complete - ****ole. I agree Vako - lock this thread until DeGrize gets real. :lol: :lol: :blink:

  12. Darran steaded quite clearly is is sitting in front of its fav: coffeeshop "OWNING" the wireless network of that coffeeshop.

    And he is showing the the Fon routera a malicious tool.

    With that Darran is just incrementing him self

    Gerard

    Watch - something else mate - this is a hacking program - even if you are white hat you need to be aware of what is possible !!!!! Oh and of you never heard of dramatic licence with regard to Darren pwning at the coffee shop. Really- typical liberal POV , oh you can't do that its not what its meant for!!!Grow up.

  13. Got to agree with Moonlit and Vako on the moderation issue - it needs sorting now - other mods deleting posts of mods - just about unheard of as far as my experfience goes.

    To Matt and Chris- couldn't give a toss if you guys end of making a good living out of the show as long as it continues to deliver entertainment - I have my gripes but thats not one of them. Marks out of 10 for 4x01? I'd say 6......at one point a bit more prudent editing would have got rid of some 20 seconds of cockup but on the whole I enjoyed it , well done. Not sure the banter across sets works
