Internode & iinet are soon to be basically the same thing ;)

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-12-23/iinet-internode-internet-broadband/3745066

Yeah. Hackett reckons its "all gonna be status quo" but I've worked for ISPs that have been absorbed by Ozemail/Worldnet/MCI Worldcomm/Iinet.

Frankly, their words are worthless. They say anything to float company shares (as any self respecting capitalist would do - cant hate them, they're looking our for their shareholders. kudos)

BUT

they do it at the expense of truth and so nobody can ever trust em

Hackett reckons that Node will continue as usual. BS. They'll (as primary shareholder) go ahead and absorb all infrastructure into their own brand, sack all PR people (HR, Admin, Call centre, level 1 techs) and the centralize to the pre-existing iinet hub.

The days of the little ISP are over. RIP. Now we have to deal with asshole conglomerates...

-D

anyone know a decent ISP for gaming? the fluctuation that i get with bigpond atm is really shitting me off! any help would be appreciated thanks.gif

I play online quite a bit mostly BF3 of late. We've got Adam naked adsl2+ and I'm more than happy with it. Telstra have been pedaling their cable service around our area lately but I'm happy with what I've got.

I'm pretty impressed that when Adam change say their $60 plan to include more downloads, they apply it across the board, so everyone paying $60 gets the same. We started at 12gb and are now up to 100gb. Also if you're under contract to get your install or modem for free and want to stop your service or go to another ISP, all you have to do is pay the remainder of the subsidized items, not the monthly plan amount X months left on the contract. It just seems like a much fairer system that simply makes sense.

yea i just done a snoop around.... found out that we are paying 80 buks or something around that mark for just plain old ADSL, when they have the ADSL2+ for the same amount!!! so jumped on that and fixed it up...hopefully we see some sort of difference in that thumbsup.gif

So my external HD USB connector has snapped off inside the HD, is there anyway of retrieving the data off the HD?

Yep theres a mob in melb with a clean room that can remove the platters and chuck it into a byte reader and get the data off but its pricey

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
