I'm not on internode i'm with ozemail.

But maybe they rent from internode in SA.

Interesting

It is..

ppp152-12.lns2.adl2.internode.on.net

If it weren't my need for upstream speed and the inability to get cable I would go cable over adsl, it does cost a bit more but I would have to weigh that up at the time. Chances are I would stick with ADSL2. :P

All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

It will be at the same rate in a couple of months as I'll be ~500m away from a node adsl2 enabled exchange. :D

Fingers crossed my guesstimate of where the cable runs is correct and I'm not stuck being 4.3km's away again with only 5mb/s. :P

Im only with telstra as I have a bundled package and get a small discount.

* Foxtel for the kiddies and wife

* Mobile phone $10 with same call credits for the wife (effectivly cost nuetral)

* Home phone

* Broadband for me :P

I was putting it all on FBT here at work but took it away from myself (trying to get a payrise, somehow, lol), so come end of contract I'll be switching to 'Node for their adsl2 service I suppose.

How times change -, it was not so long ago 5 megabit connections were only a dream in SA, and now people will complain if that's all the speed they can get!

using limited resources to satisfy unlimited wants.....

web designers starting to use more and more flash meterial which starts to load cpu and inscrease the sizes of pages so its at an acceptable level for adsl2 people only... 56k is almost completely redundant. thus people wanting faster and faster connections all the time... it used to be a an uncommon sight to see something that was >40 megabytes that was a nessesity for something to be downloaded on the web. now you get game demos and patches and files and applications in the 500>3gig range being downloaded all the time.

I might know someone that will look at your bike seriously tangles... i will ask them today what they think.

Thanks Pauly, much much appreciated. Spotters fee can be paid...... :P

Was built to keep, but lifestyle changes (loss of kneecap) dictate that I cant ride again, hence it has to go. Can negotiate on price to a certain extent; bear in mind the 10g's of performance mods tho

Unfortunately there is no computer involved (carbies FTW!!11!!), so I cant really say that this post is in the correct section, LOL.... plz excuse me Mr Demon-Moderator (although I did buy a lot of parts for the bike off ebay, hehehe)

Ive got a g5 and its a bit of a pain sometimes if you play a bit of extended gaming...like bf2.

I tend to grip the mouse with me thumb on the left side, and the ring finger (right hand) on the right side of the mouse to lift / use it. The moulding on the right side of the mouse hurts a little after a while. Try hold it yourself, see if it does the same, or try a razer mouse...

ahh ok, good information.

Im after the G5 for the 2000dpi (adjustability) and for the extra buttons (for use with BF2 for quick prone, crouch action etc)

The lads in my clan rave over it www.unitedforcesworld.com

Id recommend staying away from wireless unless u have to. Soo many things to go wrong, or dropouts, charge the damn things etc...Me mate had 1 die logitech too...

G5 is a great mouse to adjust the res with. I can use it in windows to scroll faster across the screen (20" widescreen) which is a pain for a big window :unsure:

i might have to look into setting the quick prone up with the side button :yes:

Either G5 or the razer series would be my top choices..

Ive just gotten back into playing some bf2 after not being on for a while...just juggling that and trying to learn how to play the guitar in the meantime :huh:

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
