@GW I think Apple is trolling you now :lol: Follow the link for further reading. Oh and at the link is a patent win for a keyboard design :P. Ok, now this, this is some major cattle waste. Nothing in the description of the application gives any sort of detail. "The goggle system may include an...

* though to be fair, I have no idea how other manufacturers make their curved touch screens, and this one also seems quite specific. So what we have here might actually be a valid application for once.

So got an SMS saying my free LTE service was available.

Change 2 settings on my phone, log into my account on the Vodacom site and activate the LTE. Did a speed test and got 15.8MB/S download resutl.

Very happy camper here.

We have had a nespresso machine at home for 2 years now. Love it. I am also partial to Jacobs, when I get a hankering for a mug of instant. Lastly, my boss is a coffee nut. We have a bean to cup machine in our office and I can tell you the coffee from that is so amazing, I don't even use sugar or mi...

According to the great brain yes, facial recognition has been around longer.

Today is the 7th day since I passed the gantry. No bill.

I thought this might be appropriate. Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

HAH!

yeah.. its a slow day.. gimme a break.

:lol: I can just imagine the combo you will get and it is rather straight forward solutions the one you use on the gantries and the other on the numberplates and windscreen where the licence disk is and no comments on spelling mistakes kay oh lol.

So that all sounds complicated. But the CPA clearly states that the consumer must pay the indicated price. So If they come with some BS story I will just refer them to the board showing a non-registered user rate of R 3.40. That should buy me even more time.

Stuart wrote: I think the rate on the boards is for etag users who pay within seven days.

I thought this too, but no. The board for tagged users was 100m down the road and stated R1.20 (or something like that).

Right. So on the boards on the highway it clearly shows R3.40 at the gantry I pass. But checking on the sanral site it says R5.51. who do I believe?

But no matter what they choose to call it, it is a bill. Which you are legally obliged to pay. IF and when you receive it. ;) I have a question. For some reason I have the idea in my head, that according to SA laws, if you do not receive a bill withing 7 days, you are not obliged to pay it. Is this...

I will not buy a tag.

I pass 2 gantries every day. 1 on the way to work, and 1 on the return trip. I can avoid both with not much change to my time spent driving.

So this morning, I passed the 1 gantry, and from now on will be using the alternative routes.

I eagerly await the bill for R3.40.

Very very neat.

no. i would not. primarily because my care-meter is hovering somewhere just below 'meh'?.. :P also... consoles... I expected nothing less, but it was worth a try. 8) by extension, this would prevent the re-sale or trade-in of the console, would it not? I guess so. But then when has that stopped any...

Has anyone ever considered that AMD might have _purposefully_ used a bad cooler because they want their partners to sell more boards (and have more partners to carry their boards) and that, compared to previous generations of cards, they might be earning more money per partner card sold? the thing ...

The variance in the performance of the 290X is unsettling . ***** is up with that?
