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

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

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
