how much is a taxi out to City West from city centre, 30/40 blips?

20-25 to get home of a Sat night so should be that range

[Tar.Aldarion]

A lot of people have both the same laptop as me and have started having them delivered, a lot of them are reporting that their laptop is red for some reason. Fingers crossed.

Just arrived and spot on, a few days later than promised but it looks brand new, red too (not black)

Laptop arrived today, well packaged, surprisingly RED! Not a "scratch or dent" on it, can't really argue with it

Dice is the expert on red laptops if you have any problems.

Doesn't run 24/7 if I end up playing cash. And probably better ev not carrying cash on the Red line!

Be grand. I've been getting the red line ~12 times a week for 3 years now. I've seen some crazy stuff but never anyone getting mugged or anything like that.

I don't get this - normies are always terrified of carrying cash for fear of being mugged, as if the muggers know how much cash everyone has and only pick the juiciest fruits!

If you are out of there in time for the Luas the amount of cash you're carrying won't be a problem

[NewApproach]

It's not justified and completely illegal too.

If you have a look at the DB website you will see that 1 no.1 was operating. That was me. Bus Eireann didn't stop when we were on strike. I have 3 mortgages to pay as well, the bank manager would have lots of sympathy I'm sure.

Fair play.

I like rugby and don't drink but I take your point. A few of the fillies have made a great effort in the style stakes so that's something...

I'm about to murder somebody at Betfair

trying to place a multiple bet
http://multiples.betfair.com is taking me back to the home page. Driving my mad so I get on to live chat.


The first time, Cosmin arriives, says hello how can i help. I explain my issue and then radio silence. I give a "Are you there"'s then close the window and start again. After waiting in the queue a few mins.
Up pops Cosmin again...

Cosmin*: Hello welcome to Betfair you are chatting with Cosmin. How can I help?*
Mellor: if you aren't going to reply this time, just piss off now*
Cosmin: Hi Brendan*
Cosmin: Tell me please?*
Mellor: As i told you in the last chat, im trying to palce a multiple bet*
Mellor: but it keeps sending me to the homepage*
Cosmin: Unfortunately did not get any message Brendan*
Cosmin: Is the card under your name?*
Mellor: yes*
Cosmin: Are you sure all details have been correctly entered?*
Mellor: What details?*
Mellor: I've no idea what you are talking about to be honest*
Cosmin: One moment please*
Cosmin: Are you trying to place the bet on Sportsbook or Exchange market?*
Mellor: Exchange*
Mellor: the sportsbook link at the top doesn't work*
Cosmin: One moment please*
Cosmin: On exchange market is not allowed to place multiple bets Brendan, only on Sportsbook*
Mellor: that;s fne, it still isn't working*
Mellor: the link is http://multiples.betfair.com/*
Mellor: it's redirecting me to the homepage, i'm not getting an an option to click on sportsbook/exchange*
*Cosmin*has disconnected.*

My third attempt has taken 15 mins to get a chat operator, but none came online.

In my forth attempt I got a new operator, Sophie.
Who tells me that I can't bet when I'm on holiday in australia.
I tell ive been here 8 years and never had an issue and she comes back with "thats the information I have, I don;t deal with Australian customers"

What kinda name is Cosmin anyway.

Indoor football team has a chance to win the league tonight. The other irish team in our league did us a huge favour by beating the league leaders last night. We are now 3 point behind going into the last game with a better goal difference.

COME ON THE LADS.

Crypto/Ransomware attack in work on the day before year end with an auditer on-site Great last couple of days tbf. Thankfully we have a solid backup procedure to restore from.

[Strewelpeter]

good LOL @ three

Couple of months ago my HTC m8 was dying and I had a chinese phone on order from Gearbest, they cancelled the order after a week and the M8 died on its feet so being stuck for a phone I went back to three and got a new Samsung on contract as it was the only decent phone they had.
Don't like the samsung very much so got the M8 fixed and put a new battery in it so its as good as new but the samsung was locked to Three for the duration.
Last month they sent a letter saying they were altering the contract putting up the price from 45 to 49 a month.
I called to cancel ,got the hard sell on what great value I was getting - told them GTFO.
Switching to a monthly sim only plan with an unlock code for the Samsung

Bought adult (35) and child (10) tickets for the rugby on Sat.

Child has now dumped me in favour of more exciting options. Anyone know would stewards be strict on the child element or can I sneak an adult in?

God no! I wouldn't be posting something like that if I was in an MSP that was hit. I moved on from there almost three years ago. I'm sys admin for a manufacturing company. One of the users opened a local small business website that was compromised. Thankfully we spotted it within 30 minutes and it only gimped two computers. Still ended up with 1TB of data that needed to be rolled back.

[Valor]

how does that actually work in practice, did he run an exe that was infected or something? it cant happen just from visiting a website and not running something surely?

You could try after say 11pm irish time, I'm not 100% sure as of yet but Sportsbet are taking over some of the exchange ops(well that was the plan).

They might be better to deal with plus even if it goes to help desk in Malta and they're useless you'll have a better chance of getting something from a trader after 11pm, they put way more through to traders at night.

[coillcam]

how does that actually work in practice, did he run an exe that was infected or something? it cant happen just from visiting a website and not running something surely?

He got some pop about a problem viewing a website and a font pack(the actual exe) was needed for the browser. He then ran the exe. Of course he neglected to mention this until hours later. We were able to reproduce the results in a sandboxed environment to confirm this.

The exe then ecrypts all important file types (office files, jpeg, zip, sql) located in local folders; desktop, my docs, download before moving on to the shared drives. It hides the subfolders and renders the above files useless. It then creates a shortcut file with the same name as the hidden folder. Clicking on the shortuct from another PC runs a small script to download the exe and the whole thing kicks off again on the next computer. And so on until you notice what's happening.

[Valor]

Right, that sucks. In general one is safe if one doesnt run things like popups, exe's, install "codecs", etc though, right?

[mocata]

I know of at least 2 msps that have had ransomware fails. Hard to believe they hadnt their policies locked down, one bullshitted the customers they were charging for offsite backups that it was a SAN failure.

Did they download and open something or was it Adobe crap? Any idea what the attack name \ variant was?

Yeah avoid anything pop up like that. Or messages like click here to install plugin or update java/flash/chrome etc... If you're browsing without having some sort adblocker you're doing it wrong. Also a big thing that can help is using the extension noscript.

I know of at least 2 msps that have had ransomware fails. Hard to believe they hadnt their policies locked down, one bullshitted the customers they were charging for offsite backups that it was a SAN failure.

I'd well believe it. Our email policies are extremely rigid and literally no compromised attachments get in. Trying to keep the phishing and "click here to go this fake URL" types out is the real difficulty. The SAN failure excuse is madness.

Did they download and open something or was it Adobe crap? Any idea what the attack name \ variant was?

The user downloaded and opened an exe that said it was a font pack for chrome. The ransomware variant is Spora.

oh yes ...Opium. lol ...and the rest...wild one. I think he did something with his sister even...or maybe that is a myth ..

Byron was a member of the house of lords too...by being nobility ..despite being wayward he was quite sympathetic to many good causes. He supported and made an impassioned speech for catholic emancipation to the house of lords. Colorful character.
