Then why does it have a telephone number huh smart guy?

Anroid (lol) tablets recieve sms apparently

steve has decreed that a tablet should not sms therefore the problem is you. u need to fix the problem that makes you want sms on your tablet.

NZ POS does Vodafone even do like just mobile data plans anymore? It all seems to be this overpriced RED plans.

Something else that the anroid (lol) tablets do that the iPad doesn't do is work as a telephone as well therefore I have no use for "free" minutes.

ask on geekzone john from vodafone will jump to your aid. i work at a different telco sorry :P

all my home stuff has gradually been switched to apple products, but I want to repurpose an old thinkpad x201 lappetoppe to make a pfsense firewall. any suggestions as to how to add a NIC to it? It has a pcmcia port and also spare usb ports. only 1 built in ethernet. maybe do some link aggregation with an 4G modem and my ADSL possibly?

You can get a an Ethernet hub same as a usb hub. They r called switches now though. Pfsense /openwrt probably do link aggregation without too much sperging

ok so if I get a switch and plug the laptop, my modem and my airport all on it I can use pfsense to configure it so that all the traffic goes from modem to pfsense and then to airport (and back ofc)? how much loving about would that be and does the switch need to have some features that I need to look for?

see i don't have a very strong cj background so this is a seriousquestion.

It wouldn't be hard to do this and you could use a dumb switch for it. IF you trust your network. If you want it to be secure then you would have to fux with vlans and make sure the switch enforced those measure.

like you can just set up dhcp on the pfsense and that will set up everything on the lan to go to there, and disable dhcp on the modem / airport and set up those 2 and pfsense with static ips, set the pfsense's wan etc.

i dont like the magic trackpad. i had it 2 jobs ago and it made my hand cramp up

my labtop's trackpad thing supports 2 finger scrolling which is pretty rad, but i just plug in a regular mouse all the time so i never even use it

now that i think about it, is there any benefit of magical trackpads over a mouse + mousewheel?

get a logitech mouse. they are nice, not too dear, good for big hands. like a G600 or something


also lol if u use a trackpad of any kind by choice O_o

so i have a domain, and i want to get a cheap vps so i can put up random poo poo. I dont want to run a game server or anything and i dont expect much traffic. and i dont need to torrent with it.

would it be all good to get something like this?

https://portal.catalysthost.com/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0 KVM in Dallas, 1 CPU | 512mb | 20gg | 3TB bw | 1 IPv4 | 12 IPv6 | $30/year

or this for $10 a year:

https://my.crissic.net/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0
2 CPU cores
256MB RAM
256MB vSwap
50GB HDD space
1TB traffic
1Gbps uplink
1x IPv4
16x IPv6
OpenVZ/SolusVM
$10/year

or $5 a year in sydney? might be best bet, cheapest and closest to me
https://secure.ransomit.com.au/console/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0
Sydney, Australia 100 mbit 50 GB 128 MB 2 GB SSD

these are probably all overkill, just wanna run maybe nginx, and some internet facing services behind it. (python app? java app? lovely "blog"?)
is 128mb ram going to be too little?

i got 4 ram slots and 2 of them have 4gb cards and i am thinking of adding in 8gb and for that just snagging a single 8gb so is it bad to mix sizes? i mean i know it'll work but


also the book told me to put the 2x 4gb, one each in slot 1 and 3. what would be best config for 4+4+8

e: i know having 4x4 at the end of that day would be fastest but i might want to add even more later

why? is it a bad idea or just not a good idea

i dont want to spend the money on 2x8gb cards. 2x4gb would be better i agree but significantly more money i think

u have to ask yourself y are u getting more ram. i dont think you will notice any improvement in your computing with an extra 8gb stick. u migth juuust notice with 2 fours, but probably not that either. are u running out of ram?

you don;t need any more ram, imho

plus its a good thing if u are using like 95% of your ram, otherwise u have to much anyway

i have 16gb but only because i like to waste money on my computer. its hardly an improvemnt over 8 and i dont use more than 8 ever
