my internet is broked!!! halp




Posted by Slade

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?




Posted by The Judge

Maybe if you didn't get caught smoking a bowl this wouldn't have happened.




Posted by Slade

ANT TOLD ME YOU WERE DONE WITH THAT

I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS, D

He's regressing.




Posted by Ant

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.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

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

Quoting Ant: What a ****ty IP

It reminds me of the days of buying internets by the hour.



Posted by Ant

I know nothing of those days and never do




Posted by Shade

Well you do now




Posted by Ant

I remember getting AOL when I was 10 and thinking it was pretty amazing. Ah, the good ol days.




Posted by Slade

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?

Monochrome monitor and all!

Haha, I remember that as well. My dad was a total computer nerd, and he had made several over the years. We had a 486 with a monochrome monitor that he ended up keeping, but I remember that nothing was amazing as the INTERNETS (well, AOLS I guess) on Windows 95 in 256 glorious colors. I think that was in December of 1996. My parents didn't let me online too much until I was about 10, but I did end up with a bunch of computer games and I remember that until the N64 came out, nothing came close to the computer in terms of funness.



Posted by Ant

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




Posted by Linko_16


Quoting mis0: but I remember that nothing was amazing as the INTERNETS


Yeah, I remember how mind-boggling it was that all these cool games we were now getting came from another computer, THOUSANDS OF MILES away from ours.



Posted by sniper

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).




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

1996. Good times.




Posted by sniper

Something like that. Few years before I moved from California in 1998.




Posted by sniper

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.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: Something like that. Few years before I moved from California in 1998.


I don't know when you started, but that was the year for me. Pretty sure it was the year my school got computers. Something like that anyways.



Posted by Ant

I was 10, so it must have been 1996. or maybe it was 97. I forget.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

1997. You're two years younger than me and I started in 96 when I was 11.




Posted by Ant

You're only a year, 3months, and a few days older than me :o I'll be 21 in a week and a half.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Our little boy is almost legal. I'll miss you, buddy :(




Posted by The Judge

I'll be 21 in 3 days.




Posted by Ant

NO ONE CARES




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Don't try and upstage ant's big day.




Posted by sniper

dricks a fgt




Posted by Omni

I'll be 21 next Valentine's Day.




Posted by Slade

I'll be 21 in 2 years, 4 months, and 11 days. Approximately.


YEAH BEER! WOOOOOOOOO




Posted by Omni

What is your avatar, anyway?




Posted by Slade

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.




Posted by sniper

you are gay




Posted by Slade

gah, foiled again




Posted by sniper

gah what did i do to deserve that i just merely questioned your sexuality




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

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

I thought he could do anything.





anything.




Posted by Grave Wisdom

No, that would be Macguyver.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: indiana jones can't change the fat


ant would get ten feet and pass out due to exhaustion.

the boulder had no chance to survive...



Posted by sniper

maybe we could put ant in his chair and have the boulder push him along... it has wheels still right?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

even with the wheels I don't think the boulder's pushing him anywhere




Posted by Slade

One boulder can only do so much...




Posted by The Judge





Posted by Ant

that'd be me if I weren't fat but i am that sucks.




Posted by The Judge

You'd be a stormtrooper?




Posted by Slade

That's... not a stormtrooper.


edit: wait, it's hard to tell. he's so agile




Posted by The Judge

...It's a stormtrooper.

No, it's Luke Skywalker.

I'm Luke Skywalker! I'm here to rescue you!

Just about to say that. And they don't look the same at all =/ Different design.



Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

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.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

post it. must see




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

THIS COULD TAKE A WHILE




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I CAN WAIT




Posted by Ant

where's LoS when you need him.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

... who?




Posted by Ant

idk, some fag who liked star trek a lot.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

ant's imaginary friend sounds like a nerd




Posted by Ant

he's in the navy too ;)




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Matt died. I heard it on the news. Something about a massive explosion.




Posted by Ant

forehead parts were found within a 10 mile radius of the explosion.




Posted by sniper

I would turn DA into a bastion of celebration if he died.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I think we all expect his death to occur fairly soon. We can only hope.




Posted by The Judge

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.




Posted by Linko_16

My ***. If the infection spreads...




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

It can only infect one person at a time anyways.




Posted by Linko_16

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.




Posted by Slade

wow, all you guys are a lot prettier when I'm on a mac.




Posted by Linko_16

Nothing can make me prettier.




Posted by sniper

I didn't want to say anything, but yeah.




Posted by Slade

sorry fellas, but an iBook G4 did just that.




Posted by Linko_16

... Y... y-ou mean... I'm a pretty girl again?




Posted by Slade

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.




Posted by Linko_16

[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]




Posted by Slade

yeah ok ugly avatar man. you're blocking my view of the pretty ones




Posted by Linko_16

Pretty ****ty amirite

DUAL ANALOG CONTROL IS THEE GREEEEEETEST!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

it is pretty awwight


BUT MAN THOSE ****ING MOTION CONTROLS ON THE WII? OMG




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

I'm anxious to see if Prime 3's controls are good. :o




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

they are. First game to actually have good controls.




Posted by Ant

eventually a third party company will get it right.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

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.




Posted by Linko_16

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.
