Well of course that goes without saying !
the very idea of owning movies which I haven't paid for;
or even converting DVD's so they are playable outside of brain-dead DVD
players,
(which mostly also seem incapable of playing them);
is abhorrent to my higher moral self.!
I even believe there are some who have copies of that other OS what was
it called .....;
anyway they have not paid for it apparently.
There seems to exist a whole category of software ..shareware ?
where such behaviour is rife.
This software philosophy, what's it called 'open-source' ?;
why it's just encourages such an attitude !
Oh Andrew; how I concur with you regarding the wickedness of the world !

Hey folks,
Is anyone in need of more 'vintage' computer gear?
There's a stack of stuff I've got:
* BBC + assorted parts
* 386 and up motherboards
* 486 and up CPUs
* Assorted RAM (FP/EDO and up)
* 2x APC rack mount 700VA UPSs
* Pentium, PPro, P3, P4, Cel D etc. and up computers (one even has a Video Blaster SE100 in it, with the cables)
* Many assorted IO cards (ISA, VLB)
* Labtam X term (might even be able to rustle up an AUI adapter for it)
* Assorted tower cases (AT, ATX)
* 2x Wyse60 serial terminals
* Multiple 10/100 switches (a couple may be managed) of varying sizes (16-24 port I think)
* Multiple WiFi routers with and without modems, one 3G
* Cisco SHDSL modem (dumpster dive)
* 3Com business routers (another dumpster dive)
* HP DL380 (G3 I think)
* IBM xSeries 336
* DLT IV (I think ... VS80?) drive
* Assorted 33.6 and 56K modems
* Parallel port scanner (UMAX Astra 600)
* Assorted CRT displays
* Assorted 3.5" and 5.25" drives
I'm thinking a trip to local eWaste collection point might be in order,
but before turfing stuff, like to see if it'll get another go.
A lot of it's in the "I never got around to using it", or "I haven't
used it in ages" category :)
I have some DDR3 ECC RAM that is apparently "registered" and a server that
needs unregistered RAM (UDIMMs). Does anyone have spare unregistered DDR3 ECC
DIMMs that they would like to swap for registered ones?

I'm trying to collect URIs that link to presentations which I've given,
including those at LCA.
When I try to connect to lca2013.linux.org.au it appears that not even a TCP
connection is established - also tried with SSL/TLS.
Any suggestions? Could someone in Australia let me know whether you're
experiencing the same result?
I have an ongoing problem of headphone cables breaking. Last time I bought
cables JB HiFi charged $9 each for retractable cables, they didn't seem to be
overly high quality as they didn't last longer than other cables.
I'm now looking in to buying a heap from China. One possibility is headphone
cables with built in microphone for about $2 each so I can buy enough that I
won't run out for ages.
If anyone wants to buy some then let me know. But I'm not interested in
selling less than 5 items.
