Arrival
Just watched #Arrival tonight
Awesome movie, excellent non linear way of presenting the movie, go see it, not your normal "aliens" style movie (though i have to wonder when seeing it if its not funded by the same 'people' who funded Contagion and its preparing us).
Rupee swapout
Every article i read about the Indian bank note swap makes me ponder......how would the USA go if something like this was implemented.

Patreon
If you want to see how Patreon is supposed to work.....check out some of the posts Amanda Palmer has been doing the last few months (just read her post on Leonard Cohen).
I know it takes a special type of artist to make it work but you are seeing the downfall of "the back office record industry crumbling right in front of you".

Mike Tyson
#NowWatching #MikeTyson on HBO....amazing effort considering the guy isn't an actor or a comedian, well worth watching!
Proprietary Thecus motherboard goes bad
Be aware however when buying something like this that you are buying proprietary hardware....
I recently had the unfortunate experience of having a Thecus N7700 motherboard go bad on me (after 28 months) and whilst i knew it was out of its warranty period what i didnt realise is that to replace the motherboard would be a $395 fee.
Yep you got that..... $395
Almost 50% of the original cost of the unit to replace a part that unfortunately couldn't be sourced from anywhere else.......
Because this motherboard is proprietary i was basically stuck with no other option but to pay the fee to get my data out of the N7700 drives and onto a non propriatery Server 2008 Raid 6 based system where if a motherboard goes it can be replaced with any off the shelf motherboard no problems.

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
4. Rottweiler: Make me.
5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please! Oh wait, I forgot already, what needed changing?
7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!
10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or "We don't need no stinking light bulb."
12. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
13. Blue Heeler: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
14. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
No there arent 4% of apartments in Melbourne empty
No foreigners aren't stealing your apartments.
No foreigners aren't warehousing empty apartments (cause they don't care about returns.....?)
No foreigners aren't ......
Hard to believe this think tank is actually funded and keeps getting articles written about their findings.
This whole article (and the same report for the last 8 years) is garbage and based on bad maths.

How many of you have actually read the Prosper Australia report?
When you do you'll be astonished how bad the raw assumptions are.
GIGO is all i have to say.

Lost all respect for democrats and their whinging
I've officially lost all respect for democrats and their whinging this week.
Trump didn't win, Hillary LOST.
Over 5m more people voted for Obama in 2012 and over 10M MORE IN 2008!!!
If you don't vote you truly do end up with the government you deserve....... see you all in 2020 folks until then STFU.
