So seems the PS3 finally got jailbroken. Quite ingenious too, a USB dongle that tricks the console into thinking it's a dev unit hence running unsigned code. Whoever thought of that is gonna be one rich guy!

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

"The good news for jailbreakers is the software the jailbreak runs stops Sony from pushing a system update." - pity I've already updated that stupid patch where it removes "Other OS"...

ugh. got a 360s to replace my dead and gone 360, and ive spent perhaps 3 hours on the line with xbox customer support telling me that i should be able to connect with no problems, and saying that if im having issues, its with my isp.

so ive spent about the same amount of time on the phone with my isp and stuffing around with my router settings and its all come up apples, everythings working as it should.

just finished another call with xbox support, and theyve advised me to get a replacement console...

... honestly, ive owned it for less than 24 hours, that seems a bit retarded.

and fixed.

new xbox's are finnicky bastards. had to disable my MAC filtering and my security, searched for networks again, and connected straight away.

at what cost though?

and what's the performance like?

For me, I'm actually saving $15/mo on what I was getting previously (and then I was only getting 150gb/mo).

Main differences from my old plan:

i) Uploads & downloads are counted as 'usage'

ii) Split of the 1TB between 500GB peak/500GB off-peak

However, I did the math and even if I max. my outbound the entire month, that's less then 150gb/mo... and ultimately, I'm still saving $15/mo for more downloads - so it's hard to go wrong.

As for performance - it's iinet, their network is one of the best in the country. Hasn't changed from my old plan.

As per http://www.iinet.net.au/broadband/plans.html & http://www.iinet.net.au/business/broadband/plans.html

For residential users, $129.90 - which includes cutting your regular phone line across to iinet (which will probably save you money anyway).

For business users, $165.90 with the above phone line proviso. As a note, naked dsl plans don't have a 1TB option as yet.

Even their lower down plans are pretty decent for one of the better quality ISPs (in terms of service, support, and their network infrastructure). I tend to recommend people stick with iinet/internode if they can. There are definitely cheaper ISP options out there (think TPG), but they have a poor history in Australia for their network, service, quality, etc.

There is always something about people who own Skylines that attracts I.T. Im an I.T engineer, and I have r33... Valid point? haha. I think the skyline brings out a little geek in everyone :blink:

Also consider you're going to get a bias of IT people on here given it's an online forum ...

I do find it interesting to see the sheer mix of IT people though - their different skill-sets, roles, etc.

Hardly bias... You don't have to be I.T savy to know how to write on a forum these days... In fact, you have to be just plain retarded not to know. :thumbsup: haha

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?

      That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
