so now BT have made EE the slowest and most pathetic network

Zmodem

giffgaff is pants, 4g is twice as slow as 3g or worse

3g = http://www.speedtest.net/result/6050297668.png

4g = useless http://www.speedtest.net/result/6050305255.png

and you expected to pay 5p a MB without a addon/goody bag

Zmodem

the connection speed has become abit faster on EE and 3g : http://www.speedtest.net/result/6018549651.png

although downloading off steam last night was the average 5MBps : https://s27.postimg.org/7h9cegoub/5_MB_s.png

it won't be long until i burn through 3GB, and find out downloads are still capped at 10KB/s, so you can't even download the latest virus definitions

Zmodem

the fastest out of 20 > http://www.speedtest.net/result/6016084297.png

3 network still has 5MB/s if you can't handle giffgaff and tether your phone because you don't care for all the worthless wifi hotspots of BT

Zmodem

so now BT have made EE the slowest and most pathetic network

yes, all the call charges are over priced, and downloads are capped at 10kb/s when over the rubbish 3GB fair use limit, especially if you have a tmobile sim and unlimited data, its time to go giffgaff unlimited for £20

https://www.giffgaff.com/orders/unlimited-web

1st of the month, EE is suppose to be 5MB/s plus, like the past 4 years, not 1.5MB/s

give it a year, and all the unlimited itunes and clubbers have left, BT will have made another telecom bankrupt with their rubbish

america's main fighter jet is the f-15 with them having roughly 500, which could all be shot down by a handful of eurofighters

Zmodem

the EU could invade the USA with 1000 eurofighters, and they don't have any planes that could take down the eurofighters, its not stealth but the radar cross section is that of a fridge or something, its made for dogfighting and can turn non stop on a penny peice coin if you can find a good airshow video on youtube that does'nt have it all cut out for nerds who just like to watch planes fly by normally

america would still be pushed hard with the 500 eurofighters that have been built

Zmodem

america needs them, the uk does'nt, america has no planes that are any good and could'nt actually own its own sky with the eurofighter making a joke out of the raptor in a dogfight and decommissioned the raptor from active service or any more being made

Re: Roofing silicon?

it can't be hard for NASA to get a few universities to make a space formula, if standard building spray prolongs the life of circuits

Zmodem

Re: Roofing silicon?

like the standard silicone you get down a DIY store

http://www.ukfixings.com/product/342/203/Everbuild-Stixall,-MS-Polymer,-Adhesive-_and_-Sealant-Box-12?gclid=CKfxpNCMhtICFQ5mGwodPpMA7w

industrial grade is a lot better, and you use it to seal breaze blocks too, to make them water proof and less likely to crumble

to cut the story short, some adhesives can handle temperatures of upto 600c

http://www.masterbond.com/techtips/why-use-silicone-adhesive

Zmodem

want to put the circuit in a toughened graphite box, and spray it with british roofing silicon, roofing silicon makes a easy job of holding down those tiles in the monsoon storms with 140mph + winds, board up a broken window with it, and you will pull the whole window out if you try and get the board off with a crowbar

its the ultimate in no more nails, see how long it lasts in a bath of acid, i know acid does'nt do too much to the silicon

enterprise editions will require a £10,000 licence if you make your home into starship enterprise with mulitple domains, which is the only thing cortana might be useful for

Zmodem

security permissions are still flawed

administrator group still gets over rided by the users group, so if your a administrator you will still need to use single usernames on folders instead of just using the administrator group

so if you have

administrators = full control

users = read only

your account will still need to run everything with elevated administrator rights in the group policy, while if you just add your single user name, you won't need elevated administrator rights

Zmodem

its good for nothing, but then if you buy it for £12 https://www.scdkey.com/microsoft-windows-10-pro-oem-cd-key-global_1227-20.html?currency=GBP&gclid=CLK0vsPGg9ICFSW-7QodblIFaQ

and uninstall all of the crappy apps and appstore, all the xbox rubbish, cortana, firewalls, defender a whole heap of other elephant shit that should only be on the home edition, and disable windows update so you have no nags no deferred nags, no nothing and update when you want with a registry bool

its usable and maybe better then windows 7, you also get a extra 500 points in 3dmark firestrike over windows 7

if you set custom folder permissions on program files, and make all childs inherit permissions, then the permission will actually work unlike windows 7 where most permission won't be set and files will be left with no permissions on them, and running all programs with elevated administrator right in group policy actually works, or might, i enabled it after i fully took control of my drive

need to be able to disable the crappy nag that pops up on the side about what microsfot recommends when you tether your phone, private or public network rubbish

i saw this, and thought of el reg

Re: All this means...

NASA and seti are looking all over the universe for intelligent life, this planet has probably already evoved 2 and a half species

Zmodem

Re: All this means...

i don't do predictions, they showed me when i was on the moon looking out a window thinking how rubbish it was, its why alien interview say this is their home and they need your genes, because they are actuall a few billion years old, and still can't make a perpetual generator from a direct drive wind turbine, so they need hydrogen from star sucking motherships

and its why artifacts of metal and bolts have been found on earth from 800 million+ years ago when carbon dated

Re: Orbital Disruption

thats a fairy tale ending, mars had water, and a civilization all caught on camera, there is also a sign of war, which would be the magnetosphere calapsing when the core burn't itself out

Zmodem

the core was too dense for the planet size and burn't it self out, which made little green men 4 feet tall, and the massive gravity created the heat and friction

Cut off: Big government IT wallets snap shut on BT's fingers

Zmodem

+sub contractors for other telecoms would be able to have access to all the exchanges and able to have custom NIC cards and sell broadband 1 to 1 if a customer could afford it

Zmodem

BT would'nt be government owned, the network would be owned by the government and BT would have to buy wholesale like all other telecoms, while ISP's would'nt have to charge all customers the BT line rental, the ISP's could charge any line rental they could afford because they would be buying off of the government

BT would still exist like back in the 1980's before they brought the network of the government as a private telecom but they would soon be out of business without owning the network and probably have under 1000 customers

Zmodem

it can go back to being government owned, they have paid for most things BT have been doing for 10 years anyway

the government would have full control over the business structure and bosses saleries and bonuses

if the bosses fail to meet targets and try any monopoly dealings, they won't be getting a penny bonus

Zmodem

good, the sooner BT become bankrupt the better

it is what happens when you buy weston digital drives instead of barracuda's

EE will then have a max bandwidth of 0.4MBps for your internets, and will make you look like a retard when using google maps for satnav, just to download 10 images at 4 mins each

Re: "Oculus products are built with Oculus technology"

i can't find it, but syncError @ id, was moaning for around 3 weeks on irc and on ESR before zenimax told carmack to stop and get on with work

Zmodem

Re: "Oculus products are built with Oculus technology"

half a billion is a joke, rendering 2 images side by side, is for $100 in carmacks world

Zmodem

they mean carmack improved the headset, bethesda can't even make a good game, the engine for fallout 4 took 10 years and its still crap

doom 3 engine took 2 years, and doom 3 BFG has virtual reality mode with the code carmack was messing around with, zenimax just inherited it when they brought id

AMD's had a horrible 2016: Never mind, it lost slightly less than half a billion this time

Zmodem

you can scroll through the past back to 2000 on https://www.google.co.uk/finance?q=NASDAQ:AMD

shares can spike upto $90 whenever the release a new product

Zmodem

there is still time to buy £4000 of shares

https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMD?ltr=1

currently $12.12, they spike to $60 - > $90 everytime AMD releases a new product, and those products are ryzen and vega at the end of the month, you would make a sweet and easy $22,000+ profit

all the more better then ryzen and out do a i7 and the vega can out do the nividia 1080, then you have vega and cuda code convertor to use stream processor for floating point math with low level api's and all the other new arch for parallel computing

Re: I got cought

ISP's can't do nothing about your connection speed, BT won't let anyone into their exchanges

the only way for your connection to get better, is to go through ofcom

Zmodem

your details arn't nothing you can't find on the electoral register list, 750 million people, and the retarded government breaching their own data protection act

http://www.192.com/people/electoral-roll/

Zmodem

so the way of BT, browsing the web works fast, downloading files is capped at 10kb/s

Zmodem

its better then EE = http://www.speedtest.net/result/6010616490.png

the more you retest the slower it gets, and on the 4 or 5 test it will just time out or bore you to death, last month it was 5mb/s and i was downloading at 800kbs on steam which could hold a constant speed for hours, which is how my connection has been for a few years

Zmodem

either way, i get my sim tomorrow so i'll see how fast non throttled connection is, 256kbs is better then 10kbs EE are throttling me too

Zmodem

you have 3g or 4g at full speed for your first 6gb, then 256kbs for the rest of the month

its a whole lot better then even having to begin to put up with BT scrubs, and £20 is a fair deal if you just troll a few sites and do some shopping, most movies are crap and not worth wasting your money on, nor is all the other junk on sky or internet tv or amazon prime

there is nothing much to download if you don't play games, just windows updates and some other programs here and there

Zmodem

landlines arn't worth the money, especially when most of the time its slower then 3g when your phone is tethered to your PC over bluetooth, £36 saving for a year would buy you sweet nothing

if you don't care for watching movies too much, you can have 256kbs for £20 after 6gb fair use limit on giff gaff
