    Petrol prices in Melbourne spike to $1.65ltr.

    There are a few issues usually associated with E10 and E85. The ethanol in the fuel is said to eat some fuel lines and block fuel filters but a lot of new cars are designed to work with up to E85 so will take this into account. Ethanol burns cleaner and can break down carbon deposits inside...

    Avoid tax by paying in face value ?

    Of course you can pay him with a $200 coin, but he can't give you $1500 worth of services for a $200 coin, and then claim he was only paid $200. Well he can, and he can put it on his tax return and all will be rosy until he gets audited and then things will get interesting. You can claim...

    AU$ falls.Rises in Petrol and transport costs.

    I'm under the impression that our LPG and fuel prices are linked to foreign markets (Singapore?) so we pay their higher prices even though it's locally produced. I guess as a business if you can get more $ for your product overseas then that's where you send it. Unfortunately we've had so much...

    BITCON... WHY its totally FLAWED

    Target confirmation times look good on paper but with all the alt-coins being mined at the moment (see http://www.coinchoose.com/ for a list of those on exchanges) there is a lot of jumping from one coin to another as profitability changes (difficulty changes, price changes etc). One example of...

    bitcoin / litecoin mining

    I have 2 gigabyte 7950s running @ 1200/1500 giving me 720kh/s. They draw 345W each though because they're voltage locked @ 1.25V. I tried flashing older bios to lower the voltage but it wouldn't post and i had to flash back. The first card was using 345W and I though adding the second might add...

    Smart Meters

    All meters use power, electronic or electromagnetic (spinning disc). As for security and privacy the ones in WA only assign the power use to 4 time periods so it's not like they can say "look, Mr Medved turns his kettle on at 0609 every mon-fri but not until 0732 on the weekend" and they're not...

    Smart Meters

    The theory behind smart meters is good. Throughout the day the demand on the generators peaks once in the morning and once in the afternoon for example (it changes by season on the south west interconnected system in WA). There are 2 issues at play. Generators are inefficient when they are...

    Stampedes, screaming and gun threats: US holiday shopping sours

    So much stupid in one small video but they're all laughing like it's a normal thing. I'm not sure what the store gains from it though. Obviously the prices are good so they're going to sell out anyway but I guess it creates the desire in animals to want to go there and if they can't get what...

    More jobs gone!

    This is why it pays to have a backup plan, be it a stack of cash or other skills/qualifications that you can fall back on. I know I wouldn't be feeling overly safe if my job involved answering phones.

    Xmas Pudding

    I've been thinking about doing a similar thing and letting the kids and their cousins keep the treasure. Maybe it's time to add some "junk" silver to the stack. 1/10oz silver is a bit expensive to be filling a pudding with at $4-5ea.

    Inflation news - going backwards with a boom

    As long as it's dodgy accounting and not something I missed when I got kicked out of economics class.

    Inflation news - going backwards with a boom

    I thought inflation was based on the price of stuff going up? How can inflation be x% if the prices have gone up more than x% ? Maybe I've missed something?

    Chilling interview on Alex Jones. Insider spills beans

    Some places do while others don't. In WA I believe all water corporation supplies are tainted while supplies run by local area suppliers may not be.

    Chilling interview on Alex Jones. Insider spills beans

    People annoy the shit out of me as it is with fluoride in my diet. I'm not sure I could handle conversations with them if I was thinking clearer and getting more annoyed. Might be better for my sanity if I up my dosage and chill out with the ignorant...
