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)

on topic - I lurve my computer. :unsure: Last addition will be a G5 mouse sometime

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:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
