So it's been awhile since I used a window$ machine, and I'm having a hell of a lot of trouble with my internets. It's wireless(at 54Mbps), and the signal is always judged as "Excellent." So why do my downloads sometimes go steady at 12 kbps, and everything loads really slowly?
has i done got another virus??!
Any suggestions are welcome. I'm hoping for a good program to clean this up or just a suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong.
note: my computer parts are kind of old. maybe that's the issue?
Maybe if you didn't get caught smoking a bowl this wouldn't have happened.
ANT TOLD ME YOU WERE DONE WITH THAT
I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS, D
He's regressing.
try changing the wireless channel. I figured that one out trying to configure my wii with the wireless I have. so uh, figure that out.
Someone is stealing your wireless, G!
THE MYSTERY HAS BEEN SOLVED
Apparently the ISP my parents chose(wildblue) has a limit on how much you can download per 30 day period that they neglected to tell any of us about. So in downloading all these albums and comics and things, I went way over the limit, and the consequences are that they slow down our internet until the 30 days are up. No idea when that is, but yeah. Jeez, I wish I had been the one talking to them and not my mom. She's like "yeah, okay. yeah? okay." I was ****ed.
NO, BAD CUSTOMER. THIS'LL TEACH YOU TO USE YOUR INTERNET
What a ****ty IP
I know nothing of those days and never do
Well you do now
I remember getting AOL when I was 10 and thinking it was pretty amazing. Ah, the good ol days.
Yeah, we used to get 12 hours a week of dial-up for a certain price. Probably had something to do with living a few miles out of town. You city boys wouldn't understand.
I remember being excited because we were getting a computer that displayed more colors than just black and green.
Does it get more old school than that?
lol download caps
I only went online to check for game****. I didn't get a computer with internet in my room till I was 15, then I found my way here around that time :O
When internets first became relevANT at all I had to go to a friend's who had a computer that had ROM and AOL. He had to watch his mom type the password in order for us to get on, and even then we didn't know what we were doing really. We just spent most of our time on that computer playing Doom (THE **** BTW).
1996. Good times.
Something like that. Few years before I moved from California in 1998.
Though we did have a computer which I now realize had no sort of ROM to access so of course didn't do anything but have a blinking cursor... annoyed us because we couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work.
I was 10, so it must have been 1996. or maybe it was 97. I forget.
1997. You're two years younger than me and I started in 96 when I was 11.
You're only a year, 3months, and a few days older than me :o I'll be 21 in a week and a half.
Our little boy is almost legal. I'll miss you, buddy :(
I'll be 21 in 3 days.
NO ONE CARES
Don't try and upstage ant's big day.
dricks a fgt
I'll be 21 next Valentine's Day.
I'll be 21 in 2 years, 4 months, and 11 days. Approximately.
YEAH BEER! WOOOOOOOOO
What is your avatar, anyway?
It's Twinsen, the one chosen to stop the evil Dr. Frock and his robot army using only 5 different emotionally-driven stances and his upgradeable magic ball!
He's from Relentless, one of my favorite games ever. However, it was made for MS-DOS and no really good pictures exist because, well, it looked like ****. But yeah I just found out today that the developers have made a beta version to run on Windows, so I'm pretty pumped up about it. The avy is so I don't forget to download it.
you are gay
gah, foiled again
gah what did i do to deserve that i just merely questioned your sexuality
I just used my phone line for dialup, and my friend's login and password for his ISP. LITTLE DID I KNOW, SOMEONE WAS BEING CHARGED FOR THIS
Cut to three months later and my friend's mum getting a bill for
HOLY CRAP! That's a lot of crabs!
That was an embarrassing day.
what, the day you were born!?
oh wait, that was your parents not you
at least I didn't break my mother's vagina with the size of my FAT
CAN'T CHANGE IT! YA CAN'T CHANGE THE FAT!

indiana jones can't change the fat
I thought he could do anything.
anything.
No, that would be Macguyver.
maybe we could put ant in his chair and have the boulder push him along... it has wheels still right?
even with the wheels I don't think the boulder's pushing him anywhere
One boulder can only do so much...
that'd be me if I weren't fat but i am that sucks.
You'd be a stormtrooper?
That's... not a stormtrooper.
edit: wait, it's hard to tell. he's so agile
...It's a stormtrooper.
I'd be a stormtrooper.
[quote=The Judge]...It's a stormtrooper.
No, it's Luke Skywalker.
he's luke skywalker.
[quote=The Judge;733685]...It's a stormtrooper.
CLONE TROOPER THEY'RE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DESPITE LOOKING THE EXACT SAME :mad:
I'm Luke Skywalker! I'm here to rescue you!
There's actually a pretty neat picture somewhere on StarWars.com of a Clone Trooper/Stormtrooper compromise that's being used in one of their 'between Episode III and IV' shows. They stripped all the marking off and stuff. I liked it.
post it. must see
THIS COULD TAKE A WHILE
I CAN WAIT
where's LoS when you need him.
... who?
idk, some fag who liked star trek a lot.
ant's imaginary friend sounds like a nerd
he's in the navy too ;)
Matt died. I heard it on the news. Something about a massive explosion.
forehead parts were found within a 10 mile radius of the explosion.
I would turn DA into a bastion of celebration if he died.
I think we all expect his death to occur fairly soon. We can only hope.
If he dies his forehead can still survive after it's host dies, searching out a new body to latch onto and make like Star Trek.
My ***. If the infection spreads...
It can only infect one person at a time anyways.
That's before it was blasted into hundreds of pieces. It's like a starfish: an entire forehead can grow from a fragment of one.
wow, all you guys are a lot prettier when I'm on a mac.
Nothing can make me prettier.
I didn't want to say anything, but yeah.
sorry fellas, but an iBook G4 did just that.
... Y... y-ou mean... I'm a pretty girl again?
Actually, your avatar isn't really enhanced by the millions of colors. Not surprising since it's made up of a whopping three(!) colors. Sorry buddy.
[color=indigo][b]Ha, that's true. Usually, when I pick a color to be my background for gifs that will later be made transparent, I have to pick one that'll stand out among all the other dozens of colors the program presents to me on one big pallet (other programs probably have a better way) when I'm selecting which one I want transparent. This time there were only three others to worry about.[/B][/COLOR]
yeah ok ugly avatar man. you're blocking my view of the pretty ones
Pretty ****ty amirite
macs are stupid
in b4 macs are stupid
I like Macbook Pros. But I'd only use it for basic ****.
in after macs are stupid
CAN'T PLAY SHOOTAN GAEMZ ON A MAC
except quake 4
DUAL ANALOG CONTROL IS THEE GREEEEEETEST!
it is pretty awwight
BUT MAN THOSE ****ING MOTION CONTROLS ON THE WII? OMG
I'm anxious to see if Prime 3's controls are good. :o
they are. First game to actually have good controls.
eventually a third party company will get it right.
Without a doubt. Now that there's a game out there that's done it well, other developers will use that control scheme most likely. Kinda like Halo and FPS on the console.
I didn't think Prime 3 was so close to release. I wanted to get it today, but my nearest Best Buy is sold out at the moment, and I can't look anywhere else because that's where I have a fifty dollar gift card for.
Glad to hear the controls are good.
