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

    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
