So much. I wonder if this is in retaliation for that ex-News of the World whistleblower that was found dead last night?

I hope that dude wasn't killed off for his part in kicking off the scandal, but it does seem way too coincidental for my liking :(

Now taking long term bets for my odds of getting whacked by Newscorp!

cops are saying its not suspicious, but those cops are corrupt

england is fucked right now

Everything was running ridiculously smooth so things couldn't have gone too bad.

Y u ignore my posts! ;D

Firmware 0002 stops the random stuttering you can get if you use the intel sata 6 controller, which you might be doing.

Physically on the drive it should say what firmware it was shipped with, So you might have to have a look that way. There's probably a way to do it through the OS but i'm not 100% sure on that one.

Firmware is here - http://www.crucial.com/support/firmware.aspx

You can probably just run it and find out which fw you are on also, might say you don't need to upgrade. You will need to burn it to a disc or boot from usb though since you can't do it through windows.

If you have a Crucial M4 it will have the firmware version printed on the label. But chances are if you bought one just recently it'll be the latest firmware 0002. I just bought a new PC too a few days ago (high five!) and I'm sporting a Crucial M4 128GB for my OS. It is ridiculously fast. I'm loving it so far. It takes just a few seconds for my computer to boot up and fully load everything as opposed to the minute/two minutes my old computer took.

Why does renting a house prevent you from buying curtains? Fair enough if there's nothing to hang them from in your current place.
Yeah, nothing to hang them on. The place has blinds installed.

Choc said:
clipper you need to investigate the law change that occured in NSW last year (you're in NSW right?)
Interesting, but I can't be bothered to go through the request or pay for the changes as I would likely need to do. I believe the blinds had just been installed when I first leased the apartment, so it would be difficult to get them changed without me paying. Plus, the positives of waking early typically outweigh the negatives, so I don't really care that much. I guess it would also be better for when I'm watching my projector during the day, though...

Pity they can't use proper grammar. There's no way that a newspaper copy editor would miss a missing possessive apostrophe like that, making it more obvious that it's fake.

Ah well, that's a downer. We rent, but still installed external sun shades (that we leave on permanently to keep it darker, and for privacy in the bedroom as it faces the road), as well as blackout curtains and other curtains in front. Any time of the day it can be dark enough to get some sleep. Thus, I sleep far too long.

How sad, I'm idling in tf2 at home but checking tf2items to see if i've found anything yet because i swear i haven't found one all week.

Still no 2nd book from book depo yet. This is getting a bit silly. Maybe i should have just picked it up locally.

I found about 6 items on the weekend. was insane.
 
So I'm looking to buy a new external HDD and as I don't have any USB 3.0 ports and my new laptop has a eSATA port, I was thinking of getting a SATA drive for the increased speeds.
Sounds ok, no?

So should I buy something like this pre-made? (seems like a reasonable price imo)
Or buy my own SATA drive and also a enclosure/dock? The thing is I wouldn't know where to get good value for a SATA drive. Any tips?

It's kind of weird, because "not suspicious" is so often code for a suicide in the media. There's no reason to shove "unexplained" in front of that though, suicide's aren't really all that ambiguous for the most part.

What do we think about this supposed board meeting in which the Corp board discussed relegating Murdoch to simply being chairperson?

I am done with female hairdressers.

Barber all the way.

It took me a while to find a hairdresser that I liked.

So many places just don't listen to what you want and do whatever they want, instead of what I want.

But now that I've found a good place I just go there every time and do cut my hair how I like it.

I get my head shaved, By my mother!

Mafia 2 only has 15 chapters? Man that's short. I swear i'm up to chapter 12 or so, Maybe i will just try and finish it up tonight after work.

I still haven't found a reason to do any of the side missions although after this part of the story, Maybe there's now a purpose for $$$ but i find it hard to believe.

Currently working on the design for new firewalls I am going to install in the coming months.

We just got the hardware in and the specs are crazy:

Max throughput: 40Gbps
Connections per second: 350,000

Tech these days is crazy...

I get up at 9 and head to work for a 10am start
buuut that's all going to die in the ass in 2 weeks when I start at uni, I'm hoping for no morning classes

I shave my own head, it's way easier/cheaper. $110 for a good set of wireless clippers, they've lasted me 4 years and about 30/40 haircuts. Battery is shot now though so they are wired

It was very frustrating, talked about the ending etc and showed clips of it. I can't, for the life of me, understand what kind of idiot thought it would be a good idea.
 
I was just watching the Press Club on ABC24 and AusGAF's good friend Lord Monckton was speaking. He actually made some pretty pretty valid points, not about climate science, but about how a consensus doesn't necessarily mean the science is right.

And just I was thinking 'I don't agree with you, but well done for not sounding like a nutter', he started raving about Greenpeace and the Greens actually being communists intent on bringing down the western world.

He's a dipshit with some valid points

I still don't know what side I take on climate change, but I do know that I'm not on the side of the dipshits

Why not a male hairdresser then?

Isn't a barber like an old guy with a knife and a leather sharpening thing?
A barber is someone who specialises in cutting mens hair. Why would a male hairdresser who cuts, styles and other such things anyones (read: males and females) hair be any different from a female hairdresser?

I used to go to a hairdresser and they couldn't even shave my head with the clippers without screwing it up. There were loose long hairs all over the place.

After that experience, I've always gone to my local barbershop and have never had a problem. They're usually cheaper and are far better at cutting a mans hair.

Also, those leather sharpening things (strops) are no longer allowed due to health and safety as you would essentially be sharing a razor with others when they don't have time to sterilise in between uses. They use shavettes now, which is like a cutthroat/straight razor with a changeable blade. They will use the razor on one person, then dispose of it. My barber will always use the razor around your ears and the back of your head to give a smooth line; they'll shave around the sideburns for the same effect.

Damn I'm going to have to pull out of Mr Mel Gafson's meetup :(

Also, the best haircut I ever had was in Florence by a Turkish barber. We didn't really communicate, I just sort of gestured towards my head and he gave me an awesome haircut. Then he gave me a shave. He also washed my hair and gave me a head massage. Amazing, and all for the price of 10 euro.

For work a lot of days i have to out the door by 6. After a while it just becomes your normal pattern. In general it's when you sleep in that you feel tired, if you just get out of bed you feel much better.

It's a great game, and if you don't like it, your subhuman.

Also, make sure you can run it.
