It's just really bland, the interior feels quite cheap, it's not even got i-drive

Octavia has now gone, delivery date for the Merc is 1st of December so an early Christmas present, currently driving this hatewagon it's so awful, I had to go to the Merc dealer today to sit in what im having to remind myself of how good it will be.

Saw it before quite grim, her growler looks like the sarlac from return of the Jedi

Very much so its a case of ease of use VS security and unfortunately security took the nose dive in the equation. for those who are a little less initiated than some of us this video does a good job of explaining

The wide adoption of HTTPS is primarily due to the fact that public wifi hotspots have massively increased everywhere you go, fast food places, Coffee Shops, Supermarkets everywhere you see a sign that says "logon to our FREE public wifi" Most of these solutions are completely insecure in that there is no encryption between the base station and the wireless device, at most it may have some kind of logon page, that requires the companies "wifi password" that you present to a webpage that adds your wireless MAC to an ACL, again no encryption. So to help try and secure their users data as its a massive pain in the arse for companies to keep resetting hijacked account passwords or investigating to return ownership to the right users, companies are enforcing HTTPS so even though the connection to the internet is insecure the connection for the session to their server is. With modern CPU's while the initial HTTPS session takes a little longer to establish with the site, the overhead isn't significant at all.

Sorry read it as GB, jesus 500mb drive......how old is this pc? I'm assuming its going to be some ancient pentium must be 15 years old + ? There used to be a utility called EZ-Drive that would help get around the LBA addressing limitation. This guy here has a load of small old HDD's that should do the trick something like a connor http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Solent-Spares/H-D-D-/_i.html?_nkw=MB+hdd+ide&submit=Search&_fsub=3443003017&_sid=1099049097

Yes aside from the final bit of advice as the best way to go off grid is to park your car in the garage with the engine running, put a length of hose on the exhaust and through the drivers window, as you breath in the fumes it will mask the iron in your body preventing any satellite tracking while you make your escape

This'll do the job http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seagate-SV35-2-500-GB-Internal-7200-RPM-3-5-ST3500630AV-PATA-IDE-500GB-/181233718339?pt=UK_Computing_HardDrives_RL&hash=item2a325f1443

i actually just wrote a huge reply explaining the ins and outs and whys but i just deleted it thinking, whats the point.

like i said before its not that case with ios7 now, even if the phone is wiped in DFU mode it requires the apple account to reactivate the handset or it'll keep reporting in on the same find my iphone details

Yes its fine

I'm sorry but.......

Yes mob justice ALWAYS works well :think:

Probably get more help if this was in the Roomster section not the technology one

Doesn't matter even with the phone in silent mode or the volume turned right down when you send an alert to make the phone beep via "find my iphone" it beeps at full volume

IOS7 prevents the phones activation if wiped, even in DFU without the account credentials "find my iphone" was setup with

The whole basis of this thread im not sure if you're joking or not, but i can certainly say that our collective IQ's decreased reading it

ok very true, i was referring the non compartmentalized areas of the forum

Due to my job i am required to be "Technology Agnostic" so i try to keep myself thinking that way, i made my choice as being an iPhone which i deemed to be the best fit for me at the time, i certainly don't think it's the best and i certainly don't think its the worst, in fact i don't think of any handset as being the best, each o/s and model doing some things better than others and some things worse. you could make a massive list of all the phones on the market highlighting what was a plus and minus for you to make your choice that way if you wanted. I agree with this totally every phone thread on here ends up turning into this, however what i do find strange is that we all respect (or try to) each others car choices without flippant claims and mocking them, so why does it extend to phones constantly?

Strange it worked fine on the Audi, BMW and Merc i test drove earlier this year flawlessly and do you know what the benefit of using itunes is? what purpose it serves rather than just dumping a load of mp3 files on raw storage at the media player its connected to? im sure an "expert" on all things such as yourself can tell us and of course Samsung, Microsoft, HTC and every other company are creating technology for purely charitable reasons aren't they, with no intentions of making money Quite frankly the ill informed dross you've posted is barely worth my time responding to, you go play with the other kids sunshine and the rest of us who don't have the mentality of a 14 year old fanboi will get along fine.

No reason they can't charge whatever they want, it's upto the consumer if they want to buy at that price

Just a thought is it not worth checking with one of our insurance company friends if people could fall foul of any policy bits or bobs doing this?
