Our son's Mottled Scorpion was delivered today. (Will try to get a better picture later on when it's not hiding in the cave setup). Also here is a good view of the underside of his Whip Spider. If you look closely you can see the primary pincers which has spikes a lot like a praying mantis...

As for other presents (besides lots of Lego), our son is also getting a Fringed Jumping Spider and a Mottled Scorpion for Christmas. I'll take photos when they get here... As for pets total (and this will seem like a zoo). A Border Collie and Jack Russell dogs, a Ragdoll cat (we are foster...

We've both had our own fair share of bites from various things over the years, myself having been in the Army for a number of years, and also enjoying hiking and camping... My wife has worked with various wildlife rescue services over the years, and also studied for a veterinary science degree...

And here is one of my daughters Giant Panda Snail, which she is also getting as a Christmas present...

Here are two pictures of our son's Christmas present... She bit my wife, and my wife said the bite was one of the worst bites she's ever experienced. (and that includes being bitten by spiders and snakes (pythons)).

In addition to the wiki on Samba's website, the Arch Linux instructions appear fairly detailed. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba_4_Active_Directory_domain_controller

To be honest, never have tried setting up Samba as a AD DC, only as a NT4 DC. Haven't had the need to... Setting up samba as a NT4 DC failed the first time, but once knew what was missing and what the (poorly worded) error messages meant, had no issues getting with working with Windows NT4 and...

In case you haven't seen this elsewhere: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/15/12/07/1642241/microsoft-will-resume-pushing-windows-10-to-machines-with-win7-81 TLDR; Microsoft are re-enabling the Windows 10 update that will automatically install Windows 10...

Is there any word if they intend to do the same with other server applications? eg Exchange, MSSQL, etc? Otherwise unless a business is strictly tied to MS technologies, this may drive users to start seriously considering alternatives.

Sed, Is Manjaro rolling release like Arch or does it peg packages for a period of time? (the mentioning of the kernel make me wonder). The only time you need to worry about kernels and X versions is with the AMD proprietary drivers since they lag in support for the newer releases. The only...

Sorry, misread your post... Apparently MS don't even allow that setting via GPO... Here is the list of official GPOs for Egde. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt270204.aspx The only thing I can think of is to watch the registry to see how MS are storing the setting(s), and...

Having played with a new HP Probook recently, I have to agree with Coug, they have really lost their appeal. About the only real options are either the Lenovo X1 or T-series... As for Asus models, haven't been impressed with them for a while... Another option are Fujitsu Lifebooks? eg S904...

It all depends on how HWMonitor is accessing the current CPU clockspeed, as there are several different methods... If it's using DMI via the SMBIOS, then I'm not surprised by the weird values (DMI data is notorious for being plain wrong in many regards). If it's accessing the values directly...

You do know that Yahoo has been using Bing as it's backend since '12? Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8174763.stm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing

This will never happen... There are simply too many Win32 based applications for MS to do this, especially if they want people to continue to keep up to date in regards to the OS. (Note: MS has been trying to do this since they introduced .NET back in '02). IIRC. The .NET Framework and the new...

@Tannin, why are you worried about IPv6? Australia won't be seeing widespread IPv6 deployment for a long time yet since NBN Co have basically abandoned IPv6 as part of the supplied residential product to RSPs. (IPv6 addresses are only made available on request for business connections and some...

So unsure how to take that? :confused:

@Tannin, well said.

I personally hate the misuse of javascript for sites... (blog sites that fetch content via AJAX, and the page itself is nothing more than a JS blob and that blob is several MB). But I think both sides are talking about two slightly different things, one about content (web-site with mostly...

F^&k that s^&t, I'm going back to Lynx

Yep. Need at least a 600 series or better for official support. Full 4K supported list: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/4k/supported-gpus?field_gpu_type_value=All&page=1

I'm just glad monitors are starting to get interesting again... after years of just FullHD (1080p) displays in the consumer space, it's nice to see 21:9 panels and 16:9 4K panels coming to market at last...

Thanks, very interesting... let's see how much though...

< insert lots of NSFW language > But what do I care... I'm already over on the Dark Side (aka Linux user).

GPUs that support 4K... Intel : Generally IvyBridge or newer support... http://www.anandtech.com/show/7007/intels-haswell-an-htpc-perspective/7 AMD : http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU-14100601.aspx Nvidia : http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/4k/supported-gpus But, only...

Thank you, wasn't aware of that one... Looks like HP has one out now as well. HP Z24s But the one that did catch my eye was this one, the HP Z Display Z34c.

HP have their new 4K z-Series on sale at the moment (US$755 on newegg), but there is nothing below the 27" size available via normal retail channels... Personally waiting on 20-24" 4K screens... but nothing out there...

By what Bozo was saying, I assumed they were after the CVV number... which having can lead to all sorts of misuse. Australia no longer accepted signature only on CC transactions 1-Aug last year, requiring all CC transactions to use a PIN to stop CC fraud... We also now have Pay-Wave and...

Let's see the rough stuff... Manually setting IRQs and DMA ports via jumpers on expansion cards and ensuring no two cards had the same... Stuffing up the BLASTER environment variable so your games couldn't find the included Sound Blaster 2.0 card. Attempting to maximum convention RAM to get...

Sed, those backports are already out in the field... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3068708 https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3g7hr0/removing_telemetry_from_windows_7_and_8x/

I certainly prefer the more relaxed position on the cruisers. The main concern is that my daily commute is approx 50min each way (about 50km), so riding position comfort is certainly high on the list of priorities. I don't think I could handle the Z300 position on a daily basis (being a smaller...

FYI, the 440BX could handle up 512MB (regular SDRAM-PC100) or 1GB (RegECC), if you have 4x DIMM slots. (3x slots is limited to 384MB / 640MB (RegECC) - section 4.3 in the datasheet). The only problem was getting the right sort of RAM to meet all the requirements... Sed, are you sure it's a...

We don't really worry about the snakes (we have king brown's and coastal taipans in our immediate area) as do all the right things to avoid them... As for spiders, since my son has a nice collection of arachnids (3 Tarantula's, 1 Eastern Trapdoor, 3 Scorpions, and a Whip Spider), it's all about...

Thanks. I was lucky I was only doing 40kph (due to peak hour traffic), and fortunately it wasn't a hard seize. Weather wise, were have very mild weather (except for the temps), We're averaging mid 20Cs currently, on what is the last day of Winter for us. (Summer averages low-30Cs). As for rain...

A lot of nakeds, sports and tourers come with ABS as standard, a lot of cruisers still only have ABS as an option for the low-end and midrange models, however most top end cruisers having it as standard... (The Z300 I looked at had ABS as standard, and it's an entry level sports... ).

Had some fun last Thursday night... coming home from work on the motorbike, it promptly decided to break down on the freeway in the middle of peak-hour traffic, on a bridge, in the pouring rain. (I broke down on Capt Cook Bridge just outside of Brisbane, for those that know Brisbane). As I...

You do understand "Ashley Madison" is just a name used by a dating service that specialises in hooking people up to have an affair (outside of their marriage)? (Sorry if I missed are sarcasm). Having used dating websites in the past, (and even met my beautiful and gorgeous wife on one), I too...

Sorry to hear Lunar, hope things go the best as they possibly may happen.

Do you have a reference? What I've read, Enterprise gets a choice, or is that choice only available if you have a WSUS server?

Updated Windows life cycle document is here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/lifecycle

Users of Home/Pro, obviously get no choice, since they get all updates irrespective, however for the Sysadmins that maintain WSUS (or similar) are going to have fun trying to work out what each update is... (eg, IE updates which may break corporate applications, .NET Framework updates that may...

Certainly interesting the MS is now no longer providing full descriptions for non-security related Windows 10 updates... http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/microsoft-has-no-plans-to-tell-us-whats-in-windows-patches/ From one of the comments on the article:
