is it fast? I thought rexs were really nippy but over in another thread here an ex-rx (hah) guy is saying how he can't beleive how quick his new TT j-spec supe is. very nice car btw.

I know.. it's shocking. Check this out.. I have also done the following: 1. Taken £20 notes from the bitches purse. Which half an hour later she remembers spending the night before. 2. Swapped her J-spec rear disks for my UK ones. 3. Nicked dash-bulbs, because I told her I had some which needed replacing too, and when she got in she couldn't see any that were out. 4. Number 1 again. 5. Brought her cigarettes downstairs and emptied the packet into mine. We found her packet 10 minutes later by the front door where I was reading my mail. All of the above comes with major earache and character defamation. Now anyone might think from the above that I have some kind of dishonest history, but no. Not in the slightest. It's time for an executive decision.. I am single again! Woo Hoo!

Right I see, so the technical conscensus is that by borrowing your battery on Friday, I drained your battery. I then put this drained battery back in your car on Friday and you drove the car on Saturday, Sunday, and today. Part way through you driving today the car wouldn't start, and this is because I drained the battery on Friday. Right-o.

No you thick bitch it's because you sat there with either: (a) your headlights on or (b) your radio on with the engine off. Now fuck off.

hehe good idea! No I was downloading a peice of software from a Russian site where people can upload something and it stays there for 10 hours or so while their friends download it (http://www.konfa.ru/service/filex.html), and I got a little paranoid that those pesky Russians might be boobie trapping me, and it just got me thinking ..

hmmm. I bought one from here that looked to be okay but leaks all the gas within two weeks. Have you got any photos, very interested. I need the receiver/dryer too.

Oh yeah well I didn't think you'd notice or even mind if I swapped your brake discs and calipers for mine after all I drive my car a lot more than you and being a UK it is a bit more worn.

I've found a few online translators, and Altavistas babblefish did perfect job on the page I was reading. I don't actually need it, just wanted to try it. thanks

that looks mostly like the stock box. How much youo want for it?

I was wondering if there was such a thing, so I could chat to Russian people through either IRC or MSN or something, and my stuff would be translated to Russian and theirs to English as I typed. Anyone know of anything?

is it fast?

haha it just spoke to me! 'virus database has been updated' I think I'll give this one an extended trail. I still have NOD32 on my ws2003 machine so I should be able to get used to their differences.

Cheers Jake. I have been getting a bit paranoid lately that my illegal redistribution of NOD32 & its updates is not good, and have resorted to loading AVG onto some peoples (home) computers I've just downloaded Avast! to try now and hopefully will use this for them instead. It doesn't seem to have done too bad in the Virus Bulletin tests.

yeah man

tee hee heee ! I have only once done anything even remotely like this, and that was just a drive to the Chinese takaway with netstumbler running on the T30 I used to have. I must have a play with Sniffer Wireless sometime now that I have a laptop whose battery lasts more than an hour.

Jesus christ just accept any encryption overhead as a given! It's not just about securing access to the network, it's also about protecting your privacy in the data you are sending out into the ether. Admitedly, the sites you are browing should be using SSL anyway, but if not then you are sending usernames, passwords and credit-card details in plaintext through the air. You don't have the security of a point-to-point cable. I'm no 802.11 expert but I'm sure it's possible to sniff traffic without having to associate with the AP. If this traffic is unencrypted then all this data is there in plaintext for reading. I do have Sniffer Wireless here but haven't gotten around to using it. Regarding the overhead, WPA2 (AES) is done in hardware isn't it?

and me please

I dislike most windows s/w firewalls too...

yeah he's sorted it.. but since then he removed his AEM ecu (god knows how CJ knew about this.. that part of the thread seems to be missing!) and killed the entire car

That sounds pretty neat. I don't think it would be suitable for the average non-tech homeuser, but for a corporate network or an IT boff it sounds awesome.

netstumbler & a gps device is the tool of choice for this sort of thing Seriously, turn on encryption. Forget WEP, use WPA or if you can WPA2 (AES encryption). It's done in hardware so I should expect the slowdown to be neglegible and certainly still leave you well above the maximum throughput you could ever expect from your ISP.

yeah definately use Spybot Search & Destroy. Ideally start your computer in Safe Mode and then run the program. (after downloading.. you won't be able to download it in Safe Mode) This ensures none of the nasties are resident in memory waiting to put themselves back in as soon as they're removed. A further precaution I usually do is to kill explorer.exe once Spybot S&D is running.. so: Download Spybot Search & Destroy. Install it. Run it for the first time and download any updates. Don't bother with the scan. Restart your computer in Safe Mode (tap the F8 key at the very start of your computer starting up) Log in under your usual account/name (don't go in as Administrator if you're on XP..) Start Spybot S&D CTRL-ALT-DEL, Task-Manager, and right-click explorer.exe in the process list and choose to 'End Process' Go back to Spybot S&D and do the scan / clean. After Spybot S&D is done, CTRL-ALT-DEL again, go to File (menu) -> New Task (run..), and type explorer.exe to start explorer back up again and then restart your computer normally. Or just restart your computer from the CTRL-ALT-DEL screen. HiJackThis is the only tool you really need, but it doesn't actually do the job for you. It's up to you to decide what's needs removing and what has to stay. Probably not best if you're unsure. Spybot S&D will do it for you, and also delete and redundant (though inactive) files that are left behind by the nasties. You get Spybot Search & Destroy from http://security.kolla.de Don't fall for any of the fake look-alikes that the search engines turn up.

I'm confused. I have been drinking though . Have you sorted it then?

Yeah everybody recommends the Thor one. How come you're driving an RHD car in the US? Welcome, BTW
