Why have $5 beeeelion

When you can have *little finger to side of mouth* $5 meeeelion.

It's that black orb in the field I'm worried about..

Excellent Friday morning rant!

Missed opportunity?

I can't help thinking that AMD and nVidia missed a trick by not incorporating silicon that could do bitcoin/litecoin etc calculations. Think of all the coin farms they could have sold GPUs too.

Or even a separate line of low watt high power *coin chips to really worry the competition.

GPUs lost out to FPGA and ASIC due to power/performance per watt a long time ago. If they could nail the low power and have massive giga/tera hash products people would be queuing up to buy.

A sideline of their engineers working on this could surely pull off something amazing.

I guess its too niche.

Who's driving cars on the pavement?

Surely they should be listening to cars driving on wet roads..

Nexus 7 2012 & Nexus 4 Sideloaded with Lollipop

The Nexus 4 runs beautifully, this update has breathed new life into the phone, I have moved on to a OnePlus One though, and seeing Lollipop on the N4 I can't wait for it on the OnePlus One :)

The Nexus 7 2012 runs like a dog - it improved slightly by wiping the cache from the Bootloader>Recovery menu but still frustrating to use, unless you are very patient!!

Time left and time to charge are great additions to the OS.

Last year I got a WatchGuard XTM8 (810) 10port/1Gbe port firewall/VPN appliance for £50 off eBay (normally £12,000) but with no PSU and no g'tee it worked.

Replacement PSU £40.

pfSense (free) installed with help from some of the forum members as it is a bit finicky having no COM1 but has COM2 on board.

Works like a dream, Intel Quad Core CPU and 2GB ram as standard.

£11,900 saving.

I've still yet to figure out why I need the ability for 500k connections to my home broadband, but at least I'm covered ;)

Awesome phone, even if I had to wait a week to get an invite :)

Or pick up a HP Microserver, FreeNAS/Nas4Free/Windows Home Server and 4 drives for about the same as these without drives.

I've SteamOS running fine on a 320gig hard drive, I'm sure it will be happy on a smaller one too.

Try living near scan.co.uk!

Mircosoft are doing door step swaps on faulty kit, however this requires a £600 security deposit which is refunded once the Xbox One is received in Prague and confirmed not to be a household brick in a box.

What I would like to do is to pop one of these engines in to replace the 1.6 in my 205 GTI.

Now that would be interesting.

Scrubber

I'd be interested in some sort of Reg Tutorial on putting something low cost together and configured, even if only for home use.

LightSpeed?

RidiculousSpeed?

Nailed it.

Fixing the nations roads back to pre-pot hole times.

Lets hope they get Fleet bonus's too.

Dropbox starts at 2gig free, and now goes up to 16gig if referrals join :)
