"Ten BILLION volts! Mwaahaahaahaaaa!"

A very Dr. Evil option...

Now if that upper case M was actually meant to be a lower case m, D would be correct too (10000mV=10V)
Given the quality (or lack there of) of the questions then that would not surprise me!

I didn't pass the first quiz but then they released the answer sheet in which i calculated 25% of their answer sheet to be wrong so i wrote them a letter explaining all the answers i believe they got wrong and what do i know they then sent out an updated answer sheet and sent me a letter saying i m...

ok well I've been wrong in the past few questions but after much reading and research i may be starting to understand it, we will see if i can get the next question correct. http://members.iinet.net.au/~gins/File0037.jpg assuming UE is the BASE of the NPN (A) This is correct, with the base @ 0v the...

bugger, we went through the list a couple of weeks ago and weeded out about 80 we've been planning to put a turing test thingy on here for a while Isn't it just a matter of switching on the "graphic registration" thingy or whatever it is called? The one where the user must read numbers from a displ...

Sorry Dave, but after having both a mapping and non mapping GPS, there is no way I would go back to a non-mapping GPS. Not seen a Sydway guide to the Lithgow plateau as yet, so, whilst a street directory may be ok in the city, it aint gunna do a hell of a lot anywhere else. I can load most of NSW i...

My geeky old Casio DBX-102 watch no longer counts, although it cost me $100 of Berocca a few years ago. (Long story) You call the DBX-102 a geek watch? :roll: The Casio CFX-400 was and remains the greatest geek watch of all time. Complete scientific calculator with base conversion :shock: Bought mi...

G'day I am beginer, just introduced to the world of Caching. I would like to get some advice on what would be the most suitable GPS to get from a cost perspective and heaven forbid - that I choose to distance myself from Caching. Cheers ad There are two categories of GPS, mapping and non-mapping. T...

Most are digital such as the central coast like Gosford etc except for some reason the Sydney North Shore isn't digital yet, i remember before phones went digital you could listen in to mobile phone calls oops :wink: I used to do that with my scanner, the novelty wore off after about a minute. You ...

Oh, I just had a thought!

You could do a "radio cam" cache where you had to get a voice capture of a Cacher being busted for "suspicious behavior"!

EcoDave

However, I do have a concern with the information that is available to listeners. Was just listening and the op asked the patrol if their radio was secure before giving them more personal information .... Andrew That means that they wanted the officer to step away from the suspect and other people ...

Make sure you use the "Worldwide" check box on the left of the eBay screen to get units from the US, otherwise it tends to only show Australian sellers. EcoDave :) Ah! That makes a difference. You can see I don't use Ebay very much. Glenn It is one of the most powerful featurs on eBay, but one of t...

however it may be a little more expensive to buy it from an Australian retailer but cheaper if you have a warranty issue as the USA ones on Ebay wont be covered under warranty here in Australia. Cheers Greg Thanks I was doing those sort of calculations in my head. I basically did this last time - b...

<p>Yes I'd be annoyed too - so those of you who have placed caches on private property without asking first! please do the right thing by the rest of us now! <p>I don't think however that sticking our heads collectively in the sand is going to work - the history is to the contrary. Individually and...

I posted this in the WA forum but I guess it really is a national issue so here it is again.. I have been wondering over the last few months if a pro-active approach to councils will be needed some day. i.e. approach them in a professional manner with information about caching, location of caches, ...

For those that don't read the WA forum. http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=6159 <p> retitle this one Australian caching emergence! this plainly is the beginning of the end. the story is the same in US , in Britain - there will be rules and we need to be proactive not reactionary to get ...
