David...I have played with 8 and it is crap...I have played with 10 for a bit and it seems far superior...more like win7...I would go to 10 if it was me

We call that PIN money...usually always cash though...its the best type. Here I believe you can earn up to $100 a week without affecting your pension....hahahah who is going to tell the tax office if you do earn more. I am glad I am not the only one hoarding older PC's....

Hi Phil The later series of radios that are designed for USB programmers will usually all work fine on Win7 but stuff from only a couple of years ago that use serial port programmers is where the issue is. Windoze wants to control all port activity on the later versions from XP SP3 and its a pain. Also a lot of software the later generation computers are way too fast and wont program a lot of radios either. I keep a Toshiba 1200 dinosaur to program a couple of dinosaur radios also Philips Prm80 series and Motorola GP 300 and Spectras I keep an old 386 laptop for them as they will not program even on a low grade pentium which I use for almost everything. I am always looking out for older Dell or similar PC that have serial ports on them just to make sure I have a collection of them for backup hardware. Why does it all have to be so difficult. You would think as technology gets better it would be easier to do but not so. The pcb design software I used was Protel 98 and it does not like running on Win7 but Win7 does have a addon you can download that allows you to create a VM within win7 that is a microsoft VM..it actually works extremely well for the PCB software although now I have converted over to Eagle and it runs fine on Win7 or on my Imac at work under fusion on Win7. Bloody computers

Oh and I love my Mac's but I have to say this Icloud crap is really pissing me off. It is such a nagging pain in the bum and the whole system is tied to it. I dont have it enabled but it keeps nagging every day many times also Itunes is getting worse and more like a virus every day. It is such a pity as the apple stuff before this Icloud sh!t was just soooo good now it is really getting crappy....surely there must be a lot of people complaing to apple about it. Why cant we just have a version without all this big brother stuff

Win XP service pack 2 is the only one to use for anything CNC. SP3 made a lot of changes in the way the I/O ports are handled. Radio programming software and CNC serial based software works a treat on SP2 but SP3 has some wierdo stuff in it. Half the radios dont program via the serial port anymore and when running Mach3 sometimes the machine just shoots off and ruins the job. All my CNC stuff and radio stuff runs on XP SP2 or win98 it is far more stable. Win7 has issues programming radios and also on CNC machines. Got Win10 on the Imac's at work in a Fusion Pro VM and I have to say it is very fast also more like Win7 in the GUI. Havent tried it on any real I/O stuff yet but for the general use we use it for it seems to be reasonably good....Win8 is a huge POS Mark

I have been sitting back here watching the comments and pontifications....its very bemusing to be honest. How many on this particular thread have actually worked on construction sites for any length of time...or in a process industrial line or a mine site, driven trucks or high voltage electrical distribution sites or infrastructure and many of the other industries that require OH&S. My working life has spanned pretty much 40 plus years and in all of the work environments I stated above. At least half I think commenting here are white collar and take the role of "safety officer". Now I am not saying it is not necessary and there does need to be some safety supervision on all sites but it really has got way out of control, no one seems to use "COMMON SENSE" anymore they always try to blame someone else...what ever happened to taking responsibility for your own actions. I used to jump through all the hoops when having to do stupid site inductions and wear all the flashy vests and head and glasses protection because that has been the way it has been heading this past 15 to 20 years. Before that life was easier we got far more work done in the same time and did not waste money in day long inductions and risk management paperwork crap. I can tell you hundreds of stories about how stupid all this is and just how out of control it has become but one in particular comes to mind and it relates to time and costs exploding also stupidity of OH&S. I was asked to quote to supply and install a satellite telephone system into a new multi story building for their system control section incase phone line failed etc..mainly for times of disaster. I supplied a quote after going to the site and just walking in and going up to the 7th floor and into the plant rooms to see where to mount the antenna then run a coax down the riser to the comms cubical where the satphone would reside and out of it was a 2 wire interface that went into the MDF and this 2 wire went to the control room for a phone line. The building was not too far from being finished. I quoted a price which was $4000 to supply the satphone and base station antenna and mount with the low loss coax and allowed 3 hours to do the install which would have been a comfortable time to do the job. I gave them the quote and waited....knew I would get the job because I was the only one in Qld who could do the job and be supported by the satphone carrier when it comes to support and warranty especially for a govt organisation. Now remember I went to site no induction did NOT have fluro clothes on but did have a hard hat and was never challenged even after being in the site office talking to the bosses about necessary information I needed. Turns out the next week the building was "handed over" to owner who by the way was long term leasing the whole building to this govt Quango. So I organise a time to go there and the site manager...who I had seen 1 week before says ok now I need to see your "white card" before you enter also you will need to have a induction. So I said no you just supply me with a "angel" and I will be done in 3 hours. No sorry you will need a white card. Ok no probs I rang the govt dept up and said sorry I cant do the job now as I dont have a white card and will NOT get one as I dont want to spend 6 hrs doing a crap course online and a 5 hr induction you will have to find someone else...cya later. next day I get a call from the satphone carrier (one of the big 3 telcos here in OZ) the Qld manager..he says you have to do the job...I said no I dont so not interested find someone else. He says there is no one else...I said I dont care I will NOT jump through bullsh!t hoops. 2 days after I get a call from the national satellite ops manager for the carrier asking me if I would reconsider and I said no. He rings the next day and says how much will it take for you to make it worth your while. I said I will think about it, he then says just come up with a price and refax your quote to them. So I thought about it and thought bugger it if they want to make me jump through this crap they will pay for every bit of my time and effort. So I worked out that I would need to spend at least 12 hrs doing inductions and courses then knowing what I knew there would invariably be more than one trip needed to site and all the other crap getting in and out. So I faxed them a new quote for $8000 and I had a return acceptance within 10 mins. I thought my new quote would have frightened them off but I wasnt ripping them off this was the extra costs for my time to jump through all their bullsh!t. So I then had to go online and do my white card then go to site get the 5 hr induction done then do the job and yes 3 trips to the site dealing with stuff not being ready when it was supposed to be. Now NOTHING had changed onsite as regards to the people onsite or even really the site. This is the madness of it all. Its such a money wasting exercise in most cases it is so frustrating. I continued my company for another 4 years before selling it at the beginning of 2015 and NEVER used the white card again and so glad I dont have to deal with this sh!t anymore. The company I work for now has common sense about real safety and we all look after each other in the workshop in regards to it. If I see anyone even attempting to anything unsafe or operate any machinery unsafely then they get a ripping and modify their practices and it just works and when everyone at the place which consists of 10 people do this then we NEVER have any work related accidents Mark

Putin and his tactical nukes maybe employed sooner than later

Yes I think poor old Andrew will be beside himself...I am sure he used to dream of sleeping at the foot of Tony's bed

Tell us how you really feel OME

Thats why I did 2 laps around the circuit at the signed speed first to see if there were any policeman's ball ticket collectors about.....then gave it the noise :) Well as much as you can in a huge Iveco diesel..which wasnt much...sigh. Just wish I was in the HSV R8 that I had at the time Mark

I NEVER NEVER put that E10 crap into any vehicle. Even the old dunnydore gets the 95 . My mrs had had to be seriously chatted to about making sure she uses 91 or higher prefer 95 when she fills up her 2013 Kia cerato....E10 eats rubber and seals its just crap produced becuase off people whinging about fuel prices. In the 6ltr V8 dunny door I only ever used 98 and got awesome economy. I used to get 9.4 litres per 100 km from a 400 hp V8 on a trip. Of course only 98 in the Rotax The other cars are a Iveco daily van and a Kia Sportage AWD both are turbo diesels and they rock..super economy as well.

I think it actually says that children under the age of 12 or 13 are NOT to occupy a front seat because the airbag deployment can kill them...hence probably the 25 deaths. Ipersonally think immunization is a good thing...and all those that dont get their kids done are not living in the real world...shall I say more...Nimbinites etc

Well don't forget that the earth was seeded by aliens and they have been watching us for millennium. You never know the "boss" could drop in one day....disclosure is coming they say

Now I thought that was spot on and on the money....I must be a atheist what a good pointed video about literal interperations

http://www.launc.tased.edu.au/online/sciences/agsci/alkalo/popindus.htm Tasmania is the world's largest producer of opium alkaloids for the pharmaceutical market. The industry is highly efficient. It produces about 50% of the world's concentrated poppy straw (CPS) for morphine and related opiates from merely 10.7% of the production area. (Concentrated Poppy Straw is actually the extracted opiates crystallized out of solution,

Tassie will be very rich soon....they are the biggest growers of poppys in Australia....and you know what comes from poppys

Do yourself a favour and treat your stomachs to a food heaven while you are in Sydney.....not aircraft related but also a must eat, there are quite a few stores in Sydney http://adrianozumbo.com Mark

Welfare is NOT a right at all.....as Howard says its a privlige of a prosperous country. I don't believe we or any country should cast aside the down trodden or people who can not find work. BUT we need to stop bleeding money the fairest way would be to use the old system of food stamps...everyone has to eat to survive.,..the next thing is housing...They all need to live somewhere and not on the streets, more housing needs to be made this will help employment of course. And everyone will need some sort of money so a stipend of say $40.00 per week for those who are on welfare or unemployed would be reasonable. Think of how much work would be generated building accommodation and the infrastructure required to suit. And anyone sitting back bludging on the system is not going to like 40 bucks for cash but they can still eat and live somewhere. This would be an incentive for the bludgers to actually go out and get or search for a job at least....might be far less surfers on the coastal cities too then. Its a huge problem...you also have the people who are genuinely disabled to think about this would require a somewhat different approach but I am sure it could be done and it would probably be better and much cheaper than what we have now. I saw the Q&A with Jacquie that was really funny she didn't pull any punches...and yes she may not be my cup of tea but at least she has the balls to say what she thinks and damn the rest

seems to operating and almost looking like Mac OS X including Siri (Cortana)

I don't have any problems with the shootings at all.......you want to attack a police officer with a knife or a samurai sword or a lump of pipe....then you know what will happen same as drug mules caught in Singapore or Malaysia they get the firing squad...I have no issue with that either...then we don't have to keep them in jail for $80,000 a year each. Sorry I am not a do-gooder I am a realist

OME you want to get your self defence up to scratch too....been heaps of public bus drivers attacked up here as well....I don't know what is wrong with people now days..the latest was 2 women attacked by punching and bit and spit on a bus driver because they refused to pay the $2.50 fare...they got them on the video its been playing up here...they got them...about 40 I think these women were...I just don't understand what goes on nowadays.. Women that old you would think had some sense

Its been so hot up here the past few weeks I am not surprised....I think there was 2 last week...one in Brisbane and one up at the sunshine coast. At least today its much cooler....crappy weather as Geoff 13 alluded to in his post today but at least it was a lot cooler

most of our busses up here in Gods country have been catching fire lately...make sure you are wearing a fire suit under your clothes :)

We have heritage accounts and a loan through them they have been fantastic the only issue is they don't have many branches and you can't do international transfers via the internet with them....when they start that good old Westpac will be getting the flick from me...I hate them but sort of stuck because I do use the international transfer side a lot

I use Spaceclaim its about 3K Much easier to use than Autocad
