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

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.

Hows the turbo Tangles?

Had her tuned yet?

not as yet, non-affordability issues :D (paid *poorly* monthly)

will go to John at Hitech next month hopefully....

sad; time to find a new job.

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

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:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
