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

are you hosting the domain and mail services yourself or paying a third party to do it for you?

i've setup domains and emails on linux and windows servers before, if you're doing the 'host it yourself' route.

the other way is easier, just call up the isp/host and tell them what you want

Look at getting an Asus Laptop, stay away from Sony Vaio. I wouldn't recommend "rent to buy" for a few reasons;

1. you pay more then the laptop is worth

2. getting repairs done under warranty are a pain in the ass

3. If you do go "rent to buy" write down the serial number and model number, as quite often if you take the laptop back for repairs it may get lost/swapped with another customer different laptop.

Only reason I'm looking at getting the laptop and "rent to buy" is so I get a credit rating as I dont have one and will be looking at buying a house soon so figured it will help out with the house loan. Its either that or the 24 months interest free but not sure how that works out. Yeah understand by the end you pay more then they're worth, but that beats the upfront payment of the larger amount and the no credit rating :(

Pretty sure it only counts if you default or fail to pay it off, it will affect you negatively then. If you pay it off on time it won't do shit as far as I know, especially as it is such a tiny amount.

I know this isn't how it works but personally if I saw that someone needed a loan for a laptop and wanted to buy a house it would tell me they suck at saving and hence might also suck at paying off a house.

Just buy a dell off their website, they are so god damn cheap these days, ~$600 for the basic ones which are more than enough power for office work.

It's requesting a line of credit - so it will come up in a credit report.

Mind you - so will applying for a personal loan, or a credit card.

I would have thought applying for a small credit card (and not using it) would have been more beneficial for your credit rating, TBH.

I’ve given them a shot before when I needed a temporary LAN. The ones I had (Netgear if I can recall correctly) claimed to run at 200Mbps. I know that’s a theoretical speed however based on my tests I could only ever achieve 30-35Mbps tops which was too slow for my needs. I was expecting at least 50Mbps. Now I have wired the house with CAT6 right through. MUCH better for multiple hi-def streams :D

Anyone had experience with $500 workstation graphics cards? I'm looking to get one for work but have had nothing to do with them before.

Yeah they use geforce quadro's for cad at my work. Pretty good cards for rendering 3d models in complex detail. Not good for gaming ;P

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
