These cable thieves are sneaky beggars

350 meteres of high capacity phone cable was stolen on a road which is normally very busy O__o
I feel sorry for the area is served as its literally just over the river from me and I take that route to work every day in the morning and evening. Today 4 openreach guys where there putting new cables in, 2 at each end all day today

toekneem posted something like this a few months ago where it happened in a different area, people stealing copper wire the only conclusion is that people were selling it off in a scrap yard or something.

  • I am trying to connect a 24" cinema display with mini display port cable to a 24" imac with a displayport - is there a cable for this as these two connections are two different sizes

    Hi Gilly,
    I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.

  • I just bought two  MD818ZM/AB oem lightning cables that are IDed as unauthentic under IOS7

    I bought 2 Apple Iphone5 oem charging cables.  They came in the Apple OEM packaging and are model number
    MD818ZM/A. 
    Before I installed IOS7 I had no problem with these cables.  Now that IOS7 is installed I get a message saying they are not
    authentic and they may not work properly.  So far they are charging my Iphone5 ok but it's disconcerting to receive this message
    after spending the extra money for authentic cables.

    I have a genuine iPhone cable and the other two are not but they've all previoulsy at one point or another charged my iPhone. Don't know what's wrong. I think if I were to take it to an apple store they'd confiscate it because its not actually mine though, would that happen?

  • I have an old ethernet CAT5 cable. I see they sell ethernet cables in the store.  Will one of these cables they sell in the Apple Store give me  a better connection, especially since my ethernet cable is pretty much destroyed.

    Is the CAT6 ethernet cable they sell good for the regular MBP to ethernet outlet or is buying this a waste of money?  My ethernet CAT5 is really old, broken, and I can't beleive anything can move by the twists and knots it has in the cable. would it be better to purchase one of these tht I see in the store?

    I have a ethernet cable that is at least 10 years old, and I use it all the time.  Nevertheless, if you want to buy one, just order the cheapest one you can find.  I don't think the Apple Store sells ethernet cables that are somehow better than any other ones. 
    Of course, they make the best smartphone out there!

  • I have several recuring alarms set up on my calendar for each day of the week. In the past few weeks, an alarm will occasionaly notify me roughly 15 minutes to an hour and a half late. These daily alarms are identical and repeat every day.

    I have several recuring alarms set up on iCal for each day of the week. In the past few weeks, an alarm will occasionaly notify me roughly 15 minutes to an hour and a half late. These daily alarms are identical and repeat every day and there seems to be no apparent pattern to why or when an alarm happens after the event is past.

    I assume you meant iCal rather than iTunes? Yes, iCal the time zone is correct. The delayed alarms only happen sporadically. Since I posted this message, the problem stopped happening every day at the same time, but it still happens occasionally with no rhyme or reason as to when. It's gotten so that I can't depend on my iCal alarms anymore.

  • I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.

  • I am freeing up some space and am using osx lion, but i have 12gb of back ups, how can i delete these and what are they?

    I am freeing up some space and am using osx lion, but i have 12gb of back ups, how can i delete these and what are they?

    Gotcha.
    Back-ups are what they are: a safety copy. If you feel you don't need them, you can trash them. They could be of a previous System if you upgraded, or something else. You wont get the full picture from looking at system profiler.
    You may want to look into getting an external drive and offloading some stuff to it.

  • 1) I pressed Menu\Bookmarks\ShowAllBookmarks to open bookmarks organizer. 2) I pressed Ctrl-F to search for some bookmark(s) (e.g. newspaper domain) and found some. NOW The qustion is "Which folder this/these bookmark(s) are actually located in"?

    Salut!
    The scenario is "Find bookmark existed before and recall which bookmarkfolder it is in"
    Please note the "folder" is for "bookmarks", NOT a file folder of HDD-filesystem

    Hey, guys. Thanks for responding. I really didn't know I was so clueless about this stuff.
    I really thought "urxvt" could be used as an alias or, what we called in Debian, an alternative, to the rxvt-unicode-256color command. I guess not? I'm still trying to set up "vi" to be Vim as well, and I'll read more of the Wiki to figure that stuff out with Arch.
    So in the tty interface I can start zsh again just fine. That's old news. I removed the TERM setting and placed the resource in my .Xresources that derhamster said. Thanks.
    I also replaced the line in my Openbox rc.xml and menu.xml for terminal opening commands (can I use $TERM for those?)
    Now when I start Xorg (with Openbox running) I tried both urxvt-unicode-256color and urxvt but none of them work with Openbox. No terminal emulator pops up and no errors show that I can see.

  • Subscriptions are SNEAKY

    Only after I bought a UK unlimited subscription, do I find out that it does not include UK 'shared cost' numbers - ie Royal Mail, and the Gas and Electricity companies, and I will need to buy extra credit to contact these numbers. This is very sneaky, and I am disappointed in Skype.

    Hello,
    Calls to UK "shared cost" #s are very expensive - too expensive  to be included in a Call Plan.
    I will raise the issue of making it clear on our webpages that calls to UK "non-geographic" landlines are not included in Call Plans.
    Thank you for pointing it out.
