OK, i dont understand the motives behind the hackers, and i dont really care why they did it.....

ALL i know is that i havnt been able to get on PSN in the last 2.5 weeks because someone hacked the system and that Sony are currently carrying out maintence/Security Strengthening on the Network..

^^^^^^^ this is pissing me off however i am more than capable of living without PS3 for 3 weeks.

What i dont understand is why you all care so much and why some are blaming sony, i dont really get it...????c an some one fill me in without going into too much detail

BUT if they are offering FREE DLC when the Network comes back online i think it will make up for the time while PSN was down. (obviuosly depending on what they will give us)

i don't blame sony, i blame the hackers. regardless of the motives, they are the ones responsible for pissing off all of us. i just hope some of them are now starting to get annoyed at the lack of PSN.

oh i dunno, when I hand over my personal and credit details to a company I tend to expect them to be both responsible for its safety and liable for its loss.

cos accepting it also means you waive the right to hold them liable for any losses or inconvenience.

but if hackers had a life. IE something/anything better to do...it wouldnt be an issue. its not like they just posted our details in bold print on bookface.

when you hand your money over to a bank you expect them to keep it safe from thieves. you'd be pissed if all they had to protect the door to the safe was a shitty padlock.

same same.

no they didn't post your details openly, but they sure as shit didn't make it hard to steal either.

Very true, but you seem to be ignoring the fact that the hackers ARE the thieves.

there's always gonna be thieves, it's how society's worked for centuries. having a whinge about thieves after the fact isn't gonna make shit better. holding the company that let the thieves get away responsible is much more productive.

In this case, it's like having a car without an alarm/immobiliser and no insurance. Sony were running an old Apache server without firewalls, which was discussed months before on their technical forums. So that's like sitting in the middle of a mall, talking about how you have a car that the door locks are a bit iffy, and you don't have insurance/alarm, and expecting no-one to do anything about it.

I don't exonerate the people who broke into Sony. Not at all. But Sony also needs to be held liable for leaving gaping security holes.

^^ not really

how about alarms and immobilisers were present on some cars back in 1994 yet Nissan in their wisdom (like sony) failed to put them on my car my car, gets stolen so do i blame Nissan

and even that example is close but at least with my car i can put an aftermarket alarm on, my self i cant so anything if Sony's server software is outdated

Yeah, it's a tough one, I'll admit that. Analogies won't really work; a closer one would be something like, Ford gets told "there's a problem with your cruise control, it won't turn off", then does nothing about it (no recall, etc), then someone dies as a result of it. Still a bad analogy.

Either way. All we can do is wait and see what happens.

So they say.

Don't forget they had originally said it'll be back online within a week................. 3 weeks later and still no actual confirmation. Just a whole lot of maybe.

disagree with that analogy..

I'd say it's more like giving your car to a mechanic and it gets stolen from his shop while its there.. With an immobiliser you can atleast install your own, keep the car safe yourself.. But with Sony.. you had no choice.. You can't protect your own information as they had it..

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
