Yes I am 14 but I've got netzon. It's a cheap and sucky IP. As for making fun of myself, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! *PM's 'Papa*

Oh yeah: Word. I used to have a Windows '98 with a 56k and a 7 GB hard drive. It was a flippin piece of crap. At least some of the games I have worked on it. The XP I'm using also has a 56k! How do I upgrade it!? I HATE IT!!!

Use a drilling machine and expand the modem connector. That should vastly increase the flow of data. :D

1) An Ethernet card, if you don't already have one.

2) A high speed modem and an account with an Internet Service Provider who provides high speed service.  Get out the Yellow Pages and look for high speed ISPs in your area.  They usually provide you with the modem when you sign up with them.

*sighs* I've been thinking of getting netzero highspeed internet. It costs about $5 more than netzon. About $14.95 for netzero. and how much is an ethernet card? (Actually, I think I've got one, doesn't it look like an internet connection and says "ethernet" above it?)

No, dont do that. Its still a 56k connection they just compress image files you download while your browsing. Get DSL or Cable.

Nyeh, I can't afford DSL or Cable. It's $15.95 for the first 3 months and then it ramps up to about 40 bucks a month. I've got an ethernet card (I think, is it?) Don't you just hook up your connection to it? Oh, and aren't you going to welcome me to GMail?

Your ethernet jack looks similar to the phone jack on your modem, but a bit wider.

If you want to upgrade your internet service from 56k to high speed, you need either DSL or cable.  If you can't afford it, stick with your 56k.  There are no other options.

They actually showed a live demonstration with regular dial-up on page 3 and the high speed dial-up on page 10... I don't get it. How do they compress images while downloading when you're browsing a website?

Live, as in you were there, doing it, or live, as in you watched it on tv?


For all you know, one was on a site with bitmap images, that was uncached, and the other was on cached pages with jpg's, that looked identical...

Ok, in the world of reality, live means real time. TV is recorded, and they can do anything they like to it. This is called business. Then they sell it to gullible people. This is called being scammed. Then the user gets mad, but they can't do anything about it, because they don't know why its like that. This is called being technilogically challenged. See where I'm going?

I hate it when you people DO this to me. My mom does it, my best friend does it, and now YOU do it... Argh... On a side note, I need people for my campaign project. Can you model, or texture, or table, do all 3 by yourself, or FRED?

were not doin anything (just found this thread) cobra, anything that says 'go faster on dial up!' is just something to get yo uto buy it. it never actually works much faster (if it does at all).

heres my advice to keep you safe from those corporate bastards:
anything you see on TV or on the internet, dont beleive it. just dont. think theyre making it up and look for proof. if you find good proof, then think that is also fake. once you find a second batch of proof, (from anywehre but online or on TV) then beleive it, but tentitavely.

the corperations couldnt care less. the only company ive EVER seen their product do everything they say it could do as well as they said it could do it (read that sentence a few times, its hard to understand :p ) was caligari.com. truespace 5.2 REALLY did do EVERYTHING they said it could, and pretty good too.

however, TV is never to be trusted. its likely surpassing the internet in beleiveability.

PS, cobra, im not gonig against you :p im only as old as you are :lol:

never beleive anything. ever. it will keep yo usafe. also be paranoid, but thats a lesson for another day ;)
A alphabetically be in organised sentences should words.

I know all that, I'm so paranoid on the internet I've got about 3 or 4 security systems on my PC. I also don't really believe in the crap those scammers put on the media. *watches Grimloq knifing grammar* Good Lord, your web talk is atrocious! :lol:

So, can you join as a modeller or what? I'm desperately in need of members.
