I have finally talked my parents into getting the broadband! For the past few weeks I have been spending longer on the net, so when the phone bill came I could say, "Look how much we'd save if we got broadband" And it has worked!
-
you'd think your parents would be less pussy and tell you to not go on the internet so much then.
maybe it's just me..........
-
welcome to the club!
-
yep, welcome... you can find the peanuts over there and free drinks from the Bar :D
Golf course is found from the back of the Club and Airfield behind the Golf course.

Well it's nice dude, but do you really have to make an entire topic on every new thing you get like: Radeon 9700pro, Broadband etc etc...Well, if you have a really good reason for doing that, please explain and I shall appologize.
-
I have to, yes, because I am poor, and so when I get something new, it is a great thing.
However, I am having difficulty signing up. Will someone visit the Telewest site and check the application form? it is all messed up for me!
-
[color=66ff00]I also have a broadband connection as of two odd weeks ago. I started my celebration by downloading the entire first series of Farscape (thanks for the help Ashrak).
Reverting to 56K would be a calamity at this point. :nod:

-
The only problem is that when I get the fat pipe, I will never, EVER leave the house again! I will be constantly playing all sorts of nefarious games online, and will probably be permanently logged in here!

Until the bastard teen agers with their double T3 lines kick your ass off of the server for lagging with a ping of 250 :doubt:

You think. I played online all of five minutes before you realise most people use the anonimity of online gaming to act like complete arseholes. Which is why it's best to make a clan or something so you play regularly against people you like. :)
-
Tell me about that. On JK2 servers people just use 3 moves. Kick, Pull and backstab. That's all. I played it a lot before, but now it really really sucks. Not to mention how limited dictionary they have. Of course limited to words which I dont want to mention on this forum.
-
good for you:)
-
Ahh well, maybe I'll behave like a complete arsehole!
BTW, it get's connected this coming Friday, 2nd of May.
w00t!
-
No! You'll beat my 45.2kbps connections speed! Now I'll have the slowest connection on the board!
-
i think i have the slowest connection, and with all the time i've been spending on the 'net recently, (we don't have timed local calls here) i've been considering a move to adsl...
-
If you're so poor, how come you can afford a fancy graphics card, broadband line, and christ knows what else?
Damn wannabe proletarians. You wanna see poverty, send me your friggin' money. And let me introduce you to heating bills, and specifically what happens when you don't pay them.
****in' brrr. Or something.
-
Also, even I have broadband, so it's not like it's a big deal. You practically get a DSL modem free at the bottom of your cereal box these days. It's like memory was two years ago, at least out here.
-
I used to have ADSL till the new year. Now i had to move to another town because of my mother's job and where I live right now, I don't have ADSL coverage so I am stuck with 56k since ISDN isn't worth it.

Yeah. It sucks. I can only play on few servers. But it also iritates me that some people use ultra high speed connections (HIGH S BB, D t3 etc...) for internet chat and such crap which doesn't even require a 36k modem while we, who need Net for serious downloads and uploads are stuck with 56Kers.

I am offended! :p Not really... But:
1). I am not a teenager...:rolleyes:
2). When I host a UT server I don't kick unless your ping gets higher then 500 (unless there are like 16 with 250 and really lagging everyone) or if you get truly offensive.
Usually my Double T3 prevents lag :)
Generalization is a ***** :nod:

I had something clever to say, but i put on my shirt and forgot..
:p

I won the Radeon (which still hasn't arrived:mad: ) and we can only afford broadband by cutting down on other things, like the phone usage.

*points and laughs*
j/k
How long has it been now?
-
Almost 2 months AFAIK!
I ahve phoned PCG twice and they say they are dealing with it, bastards!
I'm going to ring again tomorrow and give them a lesson on crossing me that they aren't likely to forget!
If I don't get it withing the month I will drive down to Bath and stick a large gardening implement into Ross Atherton main orifice!
-
now, now there's no need to treat garden tools that way... they're hard to clean.. *hands petrarch his green lightsaber*
and i want it back in one piece ok? no sparring with Corhellion or thunder got it?
-
That's all very well, but there are many untold horrors in the PCG vaults, so I've heard. I believe they have at least one Rancor, and then of course there's Tim Stone, and his lumber jack gear!
-
*opens weapons storage* hmmm.... -click- *petrarch watches on as countless lights switch on down a seemingly endless hallway*
inventory computer's just over there, help yourself....
-
Oooohhh!
OK, I'll take the following:
Arm Vulcan LRPC
Eclips Star Destroyer
Sun Crusher
80Cm Gustav
Kaiser Willhelm Geshutz (Paris Gun)
Little David
and worst of all...
BOB NEWHART!
-

-
Oh yes?
It's only a matter of time!
You Optimus prime is not safe from me! BWAAHAHAH!

-

Now I think I will have to quote Shrike on this one:

Congrats to you. :) Broadband costs several limbs over here in Australia, so it'll be quite a while till I (and probably Turnsky too, at least) join the ranks. :sigh:

Only if you let her, it's very simple - tell her you don't care and let her do what she likes. She only weilds power if you give it to her ;7

Yeah, but I know that you guys do care. So, there is no point in pretending you don't :drevil:
-
Oh I don't know, the one thing garunteed to reinforce my contentmant in not caring is knowing that someone wants me to. At least that's if I don't want to care in the first place.

:blah: What?
-
You said us guys care. I said that if I didn't want to, the one thing that'd make me stronger in my resolve is the knowlege that someone wanted me to care. See?
(although not even I'm sure I'm making sense, now that I think about it. I blame absinthe.)

Erm.... hey look over there!
