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

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
