I meant it figuratively, not literally. I AM one of the younguns - but not so easily confused!

We must never do anything innovative or clever, we may confuse the younguns.

The DE-5000 is cheaper, more versatile, and more accurate. But yes, you have to figure out to press a few buttons to use it. Frankly, for this purpose, both are overpriced and will never be seriously utilised. The little £20 things do fine.

Disturbingly cheap, never heard of it. Why bother? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arctic-Silver-Ceramique-Thermal-Compound-Paste-2-7g-/261795725080?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cf43dbf18

This is called pulse skipping and virtually any laptop power supply made in the last decade will demonstrate it beautifully. Also very common in various set top boxes during standby (and is why I can hear the bluray player across the room when it's switched off).

The Valyrians!

Because they are rotated, and the site (like most basic implementations) ignores EXIF data which indicates the orientation of the image.

Please don't suggest such a stupid thing as calling 999 over a simple scam.

No, they had their ISP confirm there was traffic involving Apple IPs. That is not the same thing. Once again, wild guesses and assumptions abound. All FUD until actual investigation is performed, and so far I chalk up two, count 'em, two, complaints.

You would have to actually analyse the traffic. Determine what it is, what process it's coming from, and where it's headed, to know what to blame. 'pinging' does not account for large amounts of data. As I said, research, not wild guesses and assumptions. Leave that to the media, and those who...

You can assure me data is moving and I don't dispute that. Blaming it on 'pings every 2 seconds' is ridiculous and makes no sense.

I suspect you should read all the terms and conditions you agreed to. Actually, it's not. Also not.. I strongly doubt it's without your permission. It is by no means proven that it does, and I can't tell you, I'm not the one with the Apple device.

And yet how in the hell can that achieve 7GB of transfer? It doesn't add up.

What they're doing is illegal? What, moving data around with a connection you supply to them? It may be poorly thought out and engineered (or it may not.. let's see what this data is..), but illegal? Really? They're not stealing anything, you gave them permission.

I'm not disputing the data is moving, but what it is, exactly where it's going, and what the owner may have to do with it are totally unknown. Until someone with half a clue looks at the problem.

The suggestions make no sense and he's done no research.

I would like to know what data they are being accused of stealing..

Doesn't matter if you're 'visible' or 'invisible' if nothing is open for them to hit. They generally go around trying exploits blind for just this reason anyway.

It's under the advanced security menu. Although honestly, who gives a crap.

Now there's a method I hadn't seen before. How Windows passes any security audits I'll never understand. Swiss bloody cheese.
