I got run over by some drunk kunt, then another car while I was knocked out from the first one, 15 weeks ago, hit and run, never found the original driver and now im off work until im fit to return, which as a heavy diesel fitter might be another couple of months or more yet (Started walking...

I'm not saying that illegal cabbies are A-okay. I'm just saying that their dodgey-ness probably shouldn't give everyone the right to not pay for the same service they thought they were getting initially (in a ride without incident, as per OP). Had hoped this thread was dead and buried... The...

Does anyone know if they're still experiencing problems with seizing up at boiling temps? I've got two and have had no problems with them seizing. Recirc straight from BK through plate chiller after flame out, no worries. Like other people, I had some issues with the thread in top outlet...

FWIW, there are episodes 1 through 7 of this on torrentday, in both xvid and x264 format. All are well seeded.

If you're 5k's out, you're lucky to still be getting line sync, really In my experience, quality of modem matters here. Some are simply better at handling lines with poor signal to noise ratio and/or attenuation. Also, in some cases people are better off setting modulation on their modems to...

Just make sure you check the fine print with ALDIMobile. They have great data plans, but their AUP limits you to around 400mb per day (don't remember exactly). Easily managable, but you need to keep an eye on it.

I should add that this assumes sdv is the disk you want to operate on. You can always back the partition table up first for later restore should you have a mishap. dd if=/dev/sdv of=/some/file/on/usb bs=512 count=1

You could try just nuking the partition table entirely. From your knoppix live DVD, simply dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdv bs=512 count=1 After that, you should be able to go ahead and partition it as normal. Just ensure you don't initialise it with a GPT table, which XP probably won't understand...

My point (singular) was that it's not ok to be "driving his friend's cab while his mate sleeps". There will likely be no insurance to cover compensation for any person or their family should they become victim of an accident involving another person at the wheel of any vehicle without a valid...

You're right, it doesn't. It was linked from an article on unlicensed taxi drivers - http://m.theage.com.au/national/cab-drivers-untrained-unlicensed-20090702-d6lj.html . Anyway, good to see that's all you gleaned from that.

I would assume the owner of the the licence associated with the particular vehicle would be held responsible for any injuries if an unlicensed person was in control of their vehicle, which they then say being driven illegally, stolen, the third party insurer would pay expenses and pursue the...

I've certainly thought about this a lot the past couple of days and decided there's not much point trying to justify my actions. They were completely irrational and I'm not sure how it escalated so quickly. At no point leading up to that moment had I considered not paying the cabbie and it's not...

Apple's price fixing was to keep the price of Borders' competition high. What are you talking about? I just like to blame Apple for everything. You called me out on it.

Lol, every ebook i have bought has been the same price, or more, than a printed version. I buy ebooks for convenience. Not that this has anything to do with internet speeds..... Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk You're probably right wrt Amazon and iTunes. The last books I bought were from...

Well, I'm certainly not a model citizen or a princess. If something looks dodgy, I'm calling them on it. In any case, seems the charges were legit (arguably extortive), although the driver may not have been. Karma got me in the end - we were stuck on the tarmac for 2 hours. Sorry guy.

OK, I concede. Seems I was a shitty human being today. No consolation to the cab driver, obviously. 10% it is.

Ok. So now I do feel kinda guilty, but I maintain that this was self inflicted. He was so aggressive in snatching away his ID, I wasn't prepared to support his cause with no recourse. I work in the payments industry and am aware that eftpos carries no additional charge, which is why I was...

Sure, so why did he snatch away his ID and prevent me raising a valid dispute? Prior to doing that, I was perfectly willing to pay. As soon as he did that, I decided he was doing sonething illegal. I feel zero guilt. Him snatching away his ID speaks volumes to me. But, thanks for your...

So I was heading to the airport from a pub in Sydney. When we get there, the taxi guy bumps on some extras, but doesn't update the meter to reflect those extras. He then goes on to say that because I'm paying eftpos, there's an additional 10% surcharge. In a bill that's already $50, I consider...

Sure, that works. Probably highly illegal, but then so is recording TV
