ive finally got my own hosting if anyone needs anything stored/hosted let us know

did you use the "SPECIAL20OFF" code?

also... wtf:

Offering video and/or audio streaming or downloads, MP3 Files, Games and shareware is also not permitted on any Just Host server.

Users may not run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes

Users may not use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.

While our shared services are suitable for the bulk of our customers, there comes a time for some websites when they are better suited for a larger plan, which allows for more dedicated CPU and memory resources. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue service to any customer with a website or other hosted data that takes up more than 10% of the server resources and/or 10% of the server's CPU.

The use of more than 50,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 50,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid overusage. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.

If you get 60 days behind in making payments, your data will be deleted.

Also... who the hell puts banner ads and popups in their cPanel interface, which is running at a version from about a year back.

Apparently as their servers get more and more full (cos you're sharing with other users on that rack) the bandwidth and connector allocation to your sites drop.

Fuck that off for a joke. Paul I thought you were in the know with this sorta stuff... why'd you go with a crummy reseller?

funky you know your iShit yeah?

sent my iphone off to be repaired/replaced (f**ked it up real good so hopefully replaced), but I wanna know if

A) when I get the new one, if I connect it to my PC and hit restore in iTunes, will it restore all the shit from the last sync/backup of the other iphone, and get back all my messages/apps etc...

and b) if the answer to a is no, is there a way to access any of that stuff through the backup files that itunes would save somewhere when you backup/sync the phone?

[funkymonkey]

Anyone bought a modified car from interstate before?

I'm wondering if it would be hard to get registered.

This is seriously tempting me...

sif pay that much for shitty old 15 year rule import. Betcha half those mods came with it and the original importer paid 10 grand for it. He probably munted the engine, considering he bought a prebuilt engine and dropped it in.

also...

keep in mind, if you want to make more power (say 200-220rwkw+) you will need to seriously consider a water to air intercooler. This will cost a good $3k (items including installation).

This was something I didn't consider when I dropped a bigger turbo on mine *sigh*

I have a 3076R and I don't make boost until 4300rpm *sigh* Should've bought a GT28

Reason he upgraded his ECU? He couldn't get his AVCR to work

http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....howtopic=412256

Just thinking back, i tought my gf how to drive manual in my mr2 at the beginning of this year! thats the good thing about having a big laggy turbo i suppose. I wouldnt let her drive very fast at all.. 2am on a VERY wide/dead road lol. Took no chances.

nga wat? Oh that explains the $1400 Heavy Duty Clutch.

GTFO. I will personally punch you on the cock if you buy this car jizzy boy. Offer him 12k and no more. If he says no, walk away happily knowning you've saved yourself a huge headache trying to get it recomplied/registered in VIC. (15 year compliance rules are different from state to state, so you'll need a eng cert to show VicRoads.)

No it won't restore if they give you a new phone with a new IMEI. If they give you the old phone refurb'd with the old IMEI then you might be able to do it.

and no, there isn't.

Welcome to the lock down world of apple. This is why I don't use iTunes to manage my iPhone.

wouldnt touch a modded import from interstate, there are plenty of cars in victoria anyway

[jezza boii]

Whoah, thanks Shan. I seriously had no idea. F*ck. You saved my ass big time. I'll be crossing that car off my list now.

Not MR2s there isn't... I'm specifically looking for something that has already gone through a forged rebuild.

they are pretty hardy engines, wouldnt matter if it didnt have it as long as it has a healthy engine

but that red one sounds a bit to tampered with

heres one, i know how all you guys like your skittles

[jezza boii]

I've had my eye on that yellow one too.

Things that turn me off...

1) It's got 190,000 on the clock (and was probably already wound back when imported)

2) It's owned by a P plater

Plus that needs more money spent. There's no way I'd be driving around in a stock bodied MR2 with stock wheels, especially a yellow one.

Factor in respray, kit and wheels... Another $8000 at least. Plus new tail lights. Those ones are faded. Yeah I'm that picky

I drive 1000km a week so I'm looking for something very solid.

[CrispyFries]

Dezz - Centrecom HQ is saying the notebook accessories are "while stocks last", but you might be able to get a promise out of them depending on which store you go to

Now I need to make them give me a 17" bag and mouse

[jezza boii]

Ergh... Also just spotted that it has twin 4.5 inch cannons. And... wait for it... king springs ? FAIL.

New exhaust + coilovers. Factor in another $3k.

See what I mean now? I just want to get in a completed car and drive it.

[paulr33]

who really cares? for $5 a month it's fine

like i care of im on a shared box with some other knob websites etc

i got frustrated with my paulr33 vhost breaking everytime the forums got upgraded, so it made sense to get my own hosting

i have no interest in crons, audio streams, excessive inodes and so on

i read all the terms and they seemed reasonable for the price

here's a novel idea. Buy something that was made in the last 10 years. Not something from the 90's that will need maintenance/rebuild/refreshing.

[Lil_Lucky]

back to work 2morrow...CBF

Name some decent cars from recent and I'll consider.

Must be turbo, 2 door, RWD/AWD and handle well. I prefer something with a low roof line and sleek body.

Oh and 20k budget.

Kgo

And forget S15s... Way too common for my liking.

[Lil_Lucky]

mmmm s15s......

[Basti]

Yeah I'm that picky

LOL

[krzysiu]

It does work funky

Cas got a 3gs now and transferred all her msgs, contacts and apps from the old iPhone using the restore function

[dezz]

No it won't restore if they give you a new phone with a new IMEI. If they give you the old phone refurb'd with the old IMEI then you might be able to do it.

and no, there isn't.

Welcome to the lock down world of apple. This is why I don't use iTunes to manage my iPhone.

I'll give it a try when the new one gets here....won't be for a few weeks yet anyway..

Worst case I'll miss out on the bag etc...while the free shit is good, I'm waitin for this PC to go before I get the lappy...You could probably get most of that free shit out of em if you really wanted anyway..
