would only need the server card on a gigabit lan, and even then its maximum overkill in a domestic setting. it would make zero difference on ur intarwebs speed.

well im on a gigabit network ,

ive got a 24 port hp pro curve switch with 6 computers plugged in and file transfers are essential considering i can transfer from one pc to another at around 85mb/sec which is better then 40mb/sec

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

its ur $ and like i said in what u quoted. its overkill for a domestic setting. transfer speeds are unbelievebly similar accross the price range. realistically all u will get for 1000% more cost is the server card may live longer

and care factor

by the sounds of it he has the card and is stuck with it not working in vista becuase is possibly normally meant for windows server which just happens to work fine under xp as they are basically the same

no you dont if there has been an active landline at the residence before...

most providers of naked DSL are lazy, and it makes life easier for them to get you to connect in the first place (also you pay the connection fee, so they dont have to worry about that :ninja: )

all providers of naked DSL do is buy the rights for the stretch of phonline between your house and the street, and they put the cost that they incur for that into your service charge.

it was not finacially viable for me to move to naked dsl with internode, as it would take 18 months for me to break even wih the cost of naked dsl vs landline + ADSL.

That's the thing... My new place (should get keys this week sometime) has never been lived in and doesn't have a phone # connected so I don't really want to have to pay for a # to be connected so that an ISP can just disconnect it again for naked dsl just to save paying line rental from Telstra!

as it is a new line, i dont think you have much choice...

do u actually intend to use ur landline for calls? i dont use mine, and it costs me $20/month for the landline, plus my intarwebs charges... the total is only $5 more than naked DSL.... making calls on it is a different story tho

That's why I thought I'd ask 'cause I was thinking the same thing

No

take into consideration signup costs for both landline, and the internet, it may be cheaper to do it the traditional way

there is not much cost difference then if u have homline budget from telstra (approx $20/month) + the cost of ur intarwebs.

for quality service, try internode, or adam....

if u want budget crappy service with lots of usage, go TPG :ninja:

i stand by my comment. my neighbor has TPG, and he has more drop outs and fk ups from customer service/tech support that i ever imagined possible. my service is rock solid, and we are on same exchange, and connected to the same phone pit out front. have recieved similar reports from mates interstate too. the woes of a wholesale ISP.

if ur going well with them, more power to ya. just wouldnt be my choice

My brother got a few copies of windows 7 RC from uni the other day and i thought what the hell i'll put it on my primary computer, upgraded it straight from vista and i am extremely impressed. It loads faster than vista and uses lest ram at idle. The only conflict i had was daemon tools as well so it's very impressive.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
