Latest Gamesprout video...

Very good. A good excuse to give this video another airing...

A much larger CME impacts in a couple of hours. The last one caused Northern Lights over the UK - gallery here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16685364 - but we didn't see them in southern Britain. Today's, however, is likely to produce an impressive light show as far south as New York City! It's raining here and the cloud cover that is forecast to last into the evening will probably obscure our view. http://gizmodo.com/5878656/how-this-huge-solar-storm-is-going-to-affect-you

2_MANY_BEERS I found a video of him working in Scotland. LOL http://www.forshizelmynizel.com/vids/funny-in-scottish-kilt.wmv ...and you didn't know how to insert that into a forum message?

In the Sixties, we sat on books on top of single roller skates to fly down a hill in the woods. How none of us avoided broken bones, I shall never know... We made bows and arrows out of bamboo garden canes, string and tape. Wife shot her brother in the chest - arrow went in but didn't kill him! Always been very respectful of her...

It made me chuckle at times (though I only watched for 20 minutes too). We have a local connection to Star Wars here - Kenneth Colley who played Admiral Piett in "Return of the Jedi" lives in the town. (There's a framed photo of him in the pub up the road!) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Firmus_Piett

Happy Birthday, Chile!

Everything comes to he who waits...

hxtr, maybe this will help?? Have you got root access?? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528

(Those living in far northern latitudes, please forgive the excitement of someone who has never seen the Northern Lights overhead!) The Space Weather Prediction Centre says: 2012-01-20 16:35 G1 (Minor) Geomagnetic Storm Possible January 23 SWPC Forecasters have determined that the CME from NOAA Region 1402 near disk center yesterday will likely pass above (north) of Earth. This glancing blow will cause just G1 (Minor) Geomagnetic Storm activity. Look for the first signs of it around 1800Z (1:00 pm EST) on Sunday, January 22, with the bulk of the disturbance to occur Monday, January 23. Watch here for updates. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ In layman's language, the Sun has farted and the sky may light up from Sunday evening. If you live in Maine or northern Michigan USA, you may see it. Those of us in more northerly latitudes (Canada and Europe) also stand a chance. Weather forecast for here (51 degrees North) is currently good for Sunday night! (So probably won't be in game that night...)

The bullets seem to drop on me pretty well! Ooooh, I hate snipers! But...I now have C4 unlocked so will be dropping that like confetti in the bushes and rocks where they hide out!

Hope you enjoy success back at the studies, eidolon - we'll miss you on the servers. Humanities and English Language Studies (applied linguistics) were the two subjects I studied in my Open University days (for people who have to work and study in their free time - 12 to 15 hours per week on average with an assignment roughly once per month.) http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/ I thought about resuming studies when I retired but the actions of government really screwed that option for me. The teaching jobs wouldn't have been there for me and then the fees went up about 800% to five grand per year! If you're not in work, that is impossible to pay. University-level education is great if you can stand the pressure (I guess if you're doing that and nothing else, the stress doesn't come into play so much). I regard it as "enlightenment" rather than education. It certainly changed the way I think about things.

Good news! Time to put the feet up and take it easy!

PingLo CHKN watch out pinglo, there are tons of new viruses for mac too In the wild here are exactly..... NONE! just a handful of malware that is taken care of by OS updates as opposed to 10's of thousands... http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/10/03/mac-malware-history/

PingLo Cavey Yes static ip addresses for your LAN. Default router ip is normally 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Your router then gives out any address from 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.0.2 up to .254It will not give .255 as this is a broadcast address. Also note that this ip range is a APIPA range (Automatic Private Internet Protocol Allocation). Which means its not a public ip address range, and hence your ISP will provide with a ip address from a completely different public range. You will not have to supply MAC address unless you want to make your network bomb proof for security. Which means if you have switched on MAC address filtering, then in the MAC address table of the router you must supply the list of all device MAC addresses you will allow to connect to your router. If the MAC address isn't listed, then that device will not be allowed to connect to your router. This would be a real pain in the ass if you want to do co-op modes in online gaming, where you are hosting, as you would have to add you friends MAC address to your router. In short its overkill for what you need. I only set this up in our Corporate environment. I love it when Cavey talks about MACs! The real way to do it is just open up your Wifi to whomever but put it behind a stateful Firewall that only allows access to your IPSec or SSH based VPN solution. Then configure your client machines for two factor security (RSA SecurID soft token is good) and only allow those folks who authenticate to traverse onto your network and the internet via that connection. This is pretty much a best practice, no need for mac addresses, even if they are using a Mac... The best way is to turn wireless off and use Homeplugs!

I don't know how he managed this but it is another example of how hilarious this game continues to be!

I went back to find your update (missed it New Year's Eve for some reason...) and am delighted all has gone well with the eye treatment! Best wishes for the remainder of 2012 - may the year be kind to you, Janey!

Cavey Yeh the industry standards are WEP, WPA and WPA2. WPA2 being the strongest going backwards. Only use WEP if your hardware (laptop, printer, etc) doesn't support WPA2. Though most devices do these days. I would even hide your SSID from broadcasting, that way when people browse for wireless networks nearby, it will not even display yours. This doesn't stop you from connecting to yours, it's just that you have to manually type in the SSID AND password. Added security really, as it stops bute force attacks, as they can't find it (well not easily). In the UK, it is actually illegal to not have a password on your wireless!!! Though I don't think anyone would actually get prosecuted for it. WEP is quickly breakable. WPA-PSK/ WPA2 certainly. If you don't need it, switch it off! No, it isn't illegal to fail to set a password in the UK. All routers have one set by default... It is illegal, however, to use an insecure wi-fi without authority.
