Marlboro have strongly built their image on the red of Ducati or Ferrari, it automates advertising tobacco only with the color.
It is not fully authority of rider like Rossi to determine what sponsor the team will work with, but rather Yamaha basically has their policy to take everybody in the team involved as they believe such thing will produce the finest result day in day out, and the fact already proved so. :)
Yes, I'm still out here :D wondering if the Large Hadron Collider will find the secrets to the beginnings of the universe, I think it has been started but I can't find any updates on the internet. Anyone know how long this first run is to be?
Think it was just a test that went fine. The real s*** goes down in late October.Quote:

Hi all. I hope that you are all well. I have been looking in from time to time to see how the forum is going, but, I am a little surprised by the cost and poor quality of the internet service in Oz since I have been back in Australia. In China, I payed around $250.00 (Aussie dollars) for 1 years service, no MB/GB limit, just un-interupted service. Since I have been back, I have used my mothers connection, and last month, I had to pay $297:OO for 1 month :s hock:
I really feel that Aussies are being ripped off big time.
I will try to find a better plan for the net, of course, but, with limits on how many mb/gb, your system processes, it will always be a scam IMO.
I am working hard with my new job, and the wife, (Luo Dan, Helen) is fitting in with the Aussie lingo and all. I have many things to do yet, (buy a new car, motorcycle, house, visit all the relatives on the Eastern side of Oz), so, it will be some time before I really feel settled. I will try to log in and contribute more, as things free up, but I will be checking in the best I can. With the Motogp championship almost decided, I just hope that we see some closer battles in the remaining races to come. Take care all, and I will see you in the forum soon.

Damn straight!! I pay for an 'up to 8GB' sonnection speed but on every test I've done it's never shown above 4 and usually closer to 3. I knew when I got the contract that this would be the case and to be honest I don't need the extra speed, it's just annoying that I can't pay for a 4gig connection :(Quote:

As for speeds.When I signed up with NTL in 2004 1.5Mb connection was the max. It got upgraded to 3Mb then 6Mb 10Mb and finally 20Mb and then it stayed there (Though speedtests of the 20Mb connection never shown me more than 12). Apparently they need to put down new wires if they want to take the speed higher (places like Japan, S Korea, France Germany have 100Mb connections).
All I know is that I pay too much a month for the net!! :mad:
Telstra could improve their services... :)
@ John glad to hear you and your wife are settling in.
Computer speak not my strong point :D Too many bytes and pointless use of long words to confuse and everything seems to be explained in some weird language that's only for special people that understand. I had a nightmare connecting my xBox to my wireless network because the troubleshooting didn't make sense beyond the eays steps that I already knew :mark:Quote:
