  1. Hahaha shit... Yeah that is from Mubix. Probably the worst guest the show keeps bringing back. Are you fucking kiding me? I assume Mubix is part of a team. I assume they're brining unpublished she-at to the table, nope. They're jusy making a tag line to attract hack-forum members.
  2. Due to what's going on right now, and it seems America is against us. Or rather the USA won't back us, and SA seem to be joining forces this time. The Great British people living on the Falklands are possibly getting worried. I thought I would start a thread if anyone had anything to say. My thoughts? The people living there are British, they want to be British. My father fought last time, and I plan to sign up. I noramlly shrug these things off, but watching this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scdEyn1QL2c No one is our ally it seems, last time the French supported them secretly by supplying them with much needed weapons, but I for one would support this war. The states will no doubt supply us with needed intel, but I feel their reasoning is poor. Most of your country is Latino, so you don't want to upset them, fine. To all the Great British people. C'MON!! I can post this as I have a bad enough reputation on here. So this isn't to offend anyone. It also angers we that's we're in Afghanistan purely because the States asked NATO to, well fat lot that means eh? Now I'm not saying we need them. But unlike last time when Reagan supported us, which gave us a lift and let us know if we needed it, they were there. Now there is no public support. This is a rant thread so I think it should stay and people add what they want, even if it is to slag me off to dirt. And by all means, Americans and... Yes... Okay Argies but let it be known I love the world but dislike the French and Indians, but fucking hate you Argie bastards. I do not represent the UK, I'm an idiot so I will cry as it is my party. When Britain first, at heaven's command, Aro-o-o-ose from out the a-a-a-zure main, Arose, arose, arose from out the a-azure main, This was the charter, the charter of the land, And guardian A-a-angels sang this strain: Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves Britons never, never, never shall be slaves. Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. Britons never, never, never shall be slaves. The nations, no-o-o-o-ot so blest as thee, Must i-i-i-i-in their turn, to ty-y--yrants fall, Must in, must in, must in their turn, to ty-y-rants fall, While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free, The dread and e-e-e-e-nvy of them all. Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. Britons never, never, never shall be slaves. Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. Britons never, never, never shall be slaves Fellow Americans, I should point out, I love being your allies and I know you do a lot behind the scenes. So I don't need to hear how we would be speaking German without you. I just think this time Obama - (is this fucker Spanish? should be public with the support. I'm also going to apologise this time, as I don't mean to offend most people on these forums. So like said, this isn't the UK, it's just one man.
  3. Right in the middle of the 6 nations. Shame it wasn't a month later, 20th March Ireland V Scotland at croke park. You really would learn how we drink.
  4. Oh, you're using wireless. I've never tried it, wired it will work with the steps you've done. Sorry, I know this doesn't solve your problem. But if you're just wanting to see it work, go wired.
  5. Can you normally access the internet on your ubuntu box? It might be something as simple as not having the default gateway set on the linux machine. Open up a terminal and type in route. If it's not there - route add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0. Assuming you're on that subnet.
  6. I've had better overclocking with Intel, but that doesn't mean much. To answer the questions, probably AMD. But Intel chips with Virtualization seem to be more common on notebooks. So this is why I seem to be with Intel more these days...
  7. I guess that is popular. I was very shit faced when I posted this, but I guess no one was into this?
  8. 7zip ccleaner And probably .netframework3.5 if it's a windows machine, as I added these to download disc. As linux was mentioned, probably drivers... Okay not what you wanted, VLC and various packages.
  9. You're correct, well at least I think you are. But at the same time, you can't ignore feedback. My comments about the presenters are/were not malicious. I should point out that the Snubs comment was my fault as was not meant in a bad way. I now know it's Shannon. I did before it was just my memory, I didn't mean she is unmemorable. But if I can't say what I missed about the show, why should people say why they like the show? As long as it is contained it's not a bad thing to see both sides of the fence.
  10. Indian? Well in that case I hope he is a bot! I'm only joking...
  11. If you've just got yourself to support and confident in your abilities, take the job you want, look at what the job can lead to as well. I know right now it would seem like it's best to take whatever you can get. And sometimes that's best, but if you feel you can get the job that you actually want to be in. Don't miss it.
  12. Yeah I agree. That's why I said it was like diggnation, these threads are fairly common and I tried to emphasize this with a request which will never happen. The Chris Pirillo comment was meant in respects to what they have done, you say he attracts noobs, but he certainly is fairly popular for what he offers. He's very energetic, and quite outspoken in his views, but still stays within his safety barrier. I don't visit his IRC, I just know who he is, and some of the sites he controls. It wasn't meant in the fact their content was the same, or any real disrespect to Darren. I could have maybe used Kevin Rose, but that would have been a compliment and not fitting.
  13. I still maintain budget is a major factor. If I were to build my Ultimate Gaming Machine 8.1, it would probably be Intel/Nvidia. Although I think the more common price bands are where AMD are aiming for. Like said the Phenom 2 is pretty damn good for the money, but if your budget is larger, the i7 would be the choice of champions. Although I've recently built a couple systems with Intel CPU, with ATI graphics. I was always an Nvidia man, but ATI cards are nice right now. It's interesting you say AMD takes more power, I was lead to believe ATI cards take less power than Nvidia. Maybe I am wrong, but some of the requirements from Nvidia are insane. So building a Intel/Nvidia would probably draw no less power than a AMD based set up if not more. Even if intel CPUs need less juice the Nvidia cards more than make up for it!
  14. Did anyone play Kings of Chaos or Mobster Boss? Did you play any MMORPGs? If so what and what did you like? I played the two above and lost contact with people from both. Going to enter again and see if I can remember anyone, I played KoC about 6-7 years ago, anyway. Post some here, of if you still play in the and could do with another team. Each player usually gets some money/gold, so I'm willing to sling you whatever a new player gets.
  15. I scanned over replies, but VaKo hit the nail on the head. Support, where you going to go for non enterprise linux? Linux is great and I love it, but if you want a free solution, being free isn't something you should be taking into consideration. On a side note, as for office. To me it's like photoshop V gimp. Photoshop is better and more features, and I'd choose it over the two. But gimp/open office does enough for the average user.
  16. I had the unfortunate displeasure of working in PC world whilst being a student. Most of the people who use computers on a daily basis are morons, okay that's not nice and not truel but still. I would get questions like "Can my epson printer used recycled paper?" Yet, they would still know Intel, they would be put off by brands like Asus. Intel has good marketing, notebooks which sell far more than desktops reflect this. Acer are one of the brands that sell similar laptops with both AMD and Intel. Even when the AMD is cheaper people would choose Intel. I'd be more interested in people buying the CPU itself, and at what price point. I.E. @ $155 who sells more, AMD or intel etc etc. Depending on what budget you gave me, my answer would be different.
  17. Yeah but if all you know how to do is peel a banana, what do you teach people? I haven't watched an episode in a while, liked some of the esxi stuff but yeah it is kind of basic. Matt usually comes across like he is in a bad mood, Darren comes across like the bastard child of Chris Pirillo, Snubs seems to be there as the female token. If this were the eighty's she would be black-Can't actually remember her name, Stephanie was what I was thinking, can remember Snubs though- I've posted this before, but I liked it more when they had the live eps, and things were not so scripted. I understand the show has probably grown and better in many respects. Even though Chris was no Jimmy Dean his things were interesting, but there you go. The show seems so flat to me, I remember about Xmas time watching live and Darren asked the live feed if they should have a long ep or short, of course everyone said long. Then I assume they got their arses kicked and told to keep it short. It's probably better for them to stay with Rev3, but it's not hak5 anymore. I'm not going to bring the whole Wes thing into it, I think it's just coincidence, but there is no debating it has lost what it had. I don't think anyone really thought they learnt a great deal, but then it was more of a forum of this is what we've seen and think. It now seems like it is trying to be educational, but it is if you have no interest in that particular subject. In short what I'm saying is, since Rev3 which seems to be Matt's domain, contents seems 'Oh well, better get this show done' In saying this I just stick to other podcasts as this has nothing different for me. I guesss it's like diggnation, lose 15 viewers gain 255. Why would they care? I can't see Darren reading this and really caring, why should he? I know I wouldn't, out of this whole thread no one has really said anything bad. I actually like the hosts, kind of people I could imagine having a drink with. You can tell Darren really does love Hak5, or Tek5 would probably better suit it. But it's not the same, anything that stays the same rarely grows. There will always be someone waiting to exploit it to make money. I'm bitching and moaning now, as I know it won't make a difference. Anyway, if this does actually get some attention, I would like to see an episode with the regular cast, plus Wes and Chris. Just chatting, think of TWIT with booze, tech that attracts the hosts. And I'd be happy. Yes I know this will not happen, but something close should be plausible? This thread is dead so my bullshit rant should go unnoticed.
  18. I think that is what Moonlit's response was about. If he is real though- Andy, couldn't hook us up with some viagra?
  19. How about a naked calendar? I bet Paul looks the shit in a tennis outfit. On a serious note, I've bought stickers in the past. Never really used them though, saw it more as a donation. Anway, I would like some more shot glasses. Or how about the bottle openers that diggnation used to use? I don't really need a poster, I want something I can use. Hey I'm tight what can I say?
  20. An original would be cool, making it yourself, yeah probably but will not be doing it. I don't know much about that era, well I've seen the likes of Silicon Valley and read various articles. But dunno how much of that is true, it's before my time. A BBC Micro though would have my tits up.
  21. I agree with VaKo, well one of the posts up there somewhere. Anyway, I would pay for a service like that. Can't see it though, I have donated to private trackers, Christ I even sent diggnation cash. I won't pay for thepiratebay though, they want money for access to torrents? Or have I got this wrong, sorry but you can fuck off. I'm not paying if I can get it for free. Which ladies and gents, leads me on to my next rant. I dunno if you have them in the states, but those adverts you get on DVDs etc. Which are along the lines of some teen downloading a movie, while showing a car being stolen. "You wouldn't steal a car would you?!" Umm, well yeah I would if I could get away with it. Regardless of what your stand on piracy and the music and film industry is, it's easy to get away with, if I could walk into a bank and take a million, you fucking bet I'd do it. I mean fuck, what's the worst that could happen? I'm British, so I'd get sent to Australia and be labled a POHM. Well fuck a duck, I've not been on holiday in a while, sounds good to me!
  22. Linux Mint has been getting quite popular, so thought I would have a look. I think it is pretty good, if you've never used linux it should help out quite a lot.
  23. You're either a bit late, or very early.
  24. Simple, money. Oh and I think you're probably lucky, that thing is bastard noisy. Or at least the one I got my hands on was, I didn't use a card though... Worked fine as a freeview box with record facility. I got one from someone who signed up to the BT package, broadband etc, but had Sky, so kicked it to me.
