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!

"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:

youll find a lot of IT people here, this is true.... common job ;P

-D

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

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
