  1. Australia supposedly has good 4G connections, lets find out... Post a link to your speedtest.net result Web: http://www.speedtest.net/ Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest&hl=en itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/speedtest.net-mobile-speed/id300704847?mt=8 Mine: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/948393824 (68.31/21.66Mbps)
  2. I like the screen resolution most because I can read web pages from a wider view clearly.
  3. Linus, you added the wrong time code sheet to the video description...
  4. My non-griefed version: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OM95Fkco8F06uPs0bNBvZ4cmZDA3Vn_Qxe_h8M8l77E/edit
  5. My favourite thing about the M8 is they are truly a step ahead of the rest in their innovation in software, hardware and design, knowing what feels right and what actually works.
  6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmSbXsFE3l8 I have this in both Chrome and Firefox. Happening for anyone else before it gets patched?
  7. When I thought of the components for my PC, I had compute power over the file I/O in mind. So I went for a better CPU and cooler with only having a Seagate 1.5TB 7200RPM drive for storage. However this wasn't a bad option because I have a tendency to eventually fill up every drive I have (We all have our problems). I keep large media files on my home server and stream them to wherever necessary, server also acts as the house's hub for networked storage with 1TB + 3TB capacity (non-redundant).
  8. A thread dedicated to making quotes which uses sentence structures and wording like Joy Smith. (Note I'm rather bad at this) "In the time waiting for the passing of the bill, parents can protect their children by logging into their modem and clicking the box next to parental controls."
  9. Just so you guys know you can watch it on twitch before it is uploaded to YouTube -> http://www.twitch.tv/linustech/b/439914384
  10. Australia gets 'deluge' of US secret data, prompting a new data facility LINK: http://www.theage.com.au/it-pro/security-it/australia-gets-deluge-of-us-secret-data-prompting-a-new-data-facility-20130612-2o4kf.html Read it all (The comments are also good) but here is a few paragraphs I would like to point out: "Privately labelled by one Defence official as ''the new black vault'', the data centre is one of the few visible manifestations of Australia's deep involvement in mass surveillance and intelligence collection operations such as the US National Security Agency's PRISM program revealed last week by US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden." "Officials cite intelligence relating to North Korea's military threats, information relating to Australian citizens involved in fighting in Syria, missile technology acquisition efforts by Iran and Chinese internal political and economic developments as recent examples of the benefits of Australia's intelligence ties with the US." "US signals intelligence is also described as ''absolutely critical'' to Australia's diplomatic campaign to win a seat on the United Nations Security Council." "The DSD's website says Australia ''benefits immeasurably'' from co-operation with the NSA, Britain's Government Communications Headquarters, Canada's Communications Security Establishment and New Zealand's Government Communications Security Bureau - an international network known informally as the ''five eyes''." "Media reports have suggested both Britain and the Netherlands, another close US intelligence partner, also enjoy access to reporting from PRISM." "Australian signals intelligence efforts, including the DSD's satellite communications interception facilities at Geraldton in Western Australia and Shoal Bay near Darwin, are focused on south and south-east Asia, east Asia and the Pacific." "The most recent report of the Inspector General of Intelligence and Security Vivienne Thom indicates that, in 2011-12, there were ''a low number of incidents where the privacy rules were not applied'' by the DSD and most involved ''a presumption of nationality (that has later been found to be incorrect) or minor administrative error''." "Australian officials describe PRISM and ''similar capabilities'' in relation to internet service providers in Australia as ''an inevitable response to the digital communications revolution'' with ''major challenges in terms of data storage and processing''." "In April 2009, the Labor government exempted the project from review by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works on the grounds that scrutiny ''would not be in the public interest''" "On Tuesday, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus declined to say whether US intelligence agencies have shared information gained through PRISM."

  11. What makes me worry most about this is the fact they would be able to decrypt data in real time and with the consumer opting for smaller less powerful computing products there will be less demand on higher performance consumer components making us sitting ducks :/
  12. http://pandodaily.com/2013/06/13/what-me-worry-the-nsa-is-working-on-powerful-quantum-computing-technology/ "As the NSA snoopapalooza continues into its second week, much has been made of its vaunted Utah Data Center, a billion-dollar facility spanning 1.5 million square feet that can process data on the order of zettabytes, or 10^21 bytes. (That’s 10 to the 21st power. If you know how exponents work, that’s a hell of alot of bytes)."
  13. I made a c++ win32 GUI in about 6 weeks (2 weeks testing) from complete noob. Wasn't as hard as I thought :) P.S: I suck at GUI design :/
