Eina. Sorry to hear of your loss boet.

BTW guys, since this morning i officially have uncapped adsl at work, and it only cost R22 more per month than my usual per gig does. Went with digichilli, but they seem to still have loads of probs, which is why i am keeping my MWEB as a backup .

Shit Falcon.That is absolutely HORRIBLE! Selling phones through advertising is always going to be touch and go in this country.You never know whats on the other side and its always a good thing to do it with caution.Have to admit though it was a sly move on his part.A dummy phone and sleight of hand.Wow! You should never had done it third party though.That was your big mistake.Sorry bro

@Rhino Getting my copy of Windows 7 this evening.Very excited.To make the most of my new hardware I had to uninstall Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 and install Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.After using Karmic Koala I cannot stand the FUGLY look of Windows XP Pro.I hate it with a passion.Phoned a buddy and he's organised me Windows 7.I hope it has lots of eye candy because Ubuntu is one hell of a sexy OS and its painful using Windows again but I have no choice after getting this new system.

@Wangs The cricket is getting exciting.Prince is gone in the first 2 overs.We have a lead of 71 runs and its anyones game.Hope the night watchman Harris sticks around.

How funny is this photo.

Hey guys, does anyone here know of somebody who can trace the area where a cellphone signal is coming from?

Welcome, The-Flash.
Not sure if there's a commercially available way to trace a specific signal like that.
BTW, when I saw your username, I thought it was a reference to a rather fast-moving DC Comics super-hero..

Hey, yeah probably not but there must be a friend of a friend who works at Vodacom or the likes that can do a trace like that

It is actually, but I thought Flash Gordon was one of the many takes on The Flash (the others being Barry Allen, Wally West etc). Just did a little research now and found out he's completely different to them.

As a kid in the late '70's and early '80's, I grew up on a diet of both Marvel and DC Comics in the Barry Allen era of The Flash.
Sigh, I'm being a sentimental wanqa again today, LOL.

Sorry to hear that falcon, I hope they catch the bugger...

With integrated GPS in phones, I would think that by now it should be plausible to be able to triangulate the position of the phone, regardless of whether it is on or off...

Lol, cool santa pic, she shouldn't be able to get past his paunch though...

@ falcon:
Yeah, that really sux. I'd be seriously ticked-off as well. I hope the culprit gets what he deserves.

@ gola:
LOL, that was The Hobbster's lucky Santa pic. Ja, Santa's renowned rotund boep would normally be in the way though. It'd be like head-butting a well-stuffed continental pillow, LOL.
