don't confuse the issue with facts. lol

another one bites the dust... :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

well, when they rolled out the upgrade stateside they sped us up down here too, i had up to 6 down at times, their ad department apparently just hasn't figured it out yet.

your best bet is to just buy a mobo proc bundle. compatible and cheaper.

get the 140 buck student edition ms office. brings 3 licenses.

yeah. and that means you need a high freq signal on the powerline. that's the problem. how about internet over water supply? pulse the pressure to carry data. slower, but possible. maybe would be fun in the shower, but the dishwasher would surely pop a seal.

dsl still has trouble with high freq leakage, cable too but a bit less due to shielded cable. to be honest i don't want all my appliances running off a current that has anything besides the 50 or 60 Hz (depending where you live) on it. it might not huirt your stove or the toaster, but all the other devices that have some electronics in them and all the little power supplies for your phone, printer, pc, fax, alarm clock etc. etc. etc. would have to deal with filtering out a high freq signal that they were not designed for.

atari lynx. xenophobe and california games on it rule.

too bad that the original uses for the terms hack and hacker are mostly lost in modern day language. hack: an slick, effective and well written piece of code to perform a certain task. hacker: author of the above

well, i don't want to repeat it again, just scroll up and see the host of problems there is with using a medium that was never meant for data transmission (power grid) as opposed to using a medium that is intended for it( phone lines, cable etc...)

if you want people's opinions on hackers you need to give the definition of hacker and have people opine on that group of people. otherwise you can get people giving you an opinion that think a hacker is a lumberjack, and that would mess up your results since you think a hacker is something other than a lumberjack.

well, if you've got a paper to write on them, take the popular view of hackers as defined by the media, and then compare that to your sugarcoated robin hood version. (emphasis on hood).

you should have specified the definition of hacker you are using. since you didn't, i'm going to go with the one from popular culture, meaning hackers are destructive malevolent self-centered bastards that break other people's systems for the sheer hell of it and then go and claim they are so cool and helpful for showing other people the holes by plastewring stupid ##$# all over their hacked sites and systems.

i pay for my highspeed, why should he get decenty speeds for free, 's not right. if his speeds are legit, congrats. interesting to say the least. still reporting it to the fcc though. maybe the fbi too. if he crosses a state line with that connection it's their jurisdiction.

let nasa google for 'common sense space shuttle' top 2 results: shut the damned thing down. or yopu spent 2.5 years and untold millions fixing the damned thing and the foam hits the orbiter again? LOOSE THE FRAGGIN FOAM!!!!!

heck, i'm pretty satisfied. had a connection issue today, and from the time i picked up the phone unitl the tech was at my door was 4 3/4 hours. and that includes 45 minutes on hold to make the service call. but good response time on the tech.

for the real world, cable. good price/speed. what i /want/ is a multigigabit splice into a major backbone.

not faulty parts. for the cheapo bundles they take the stuff that the mfgr has a mail in rebate on for the time it's available. check the price at checkout, it might be considerably higher, like 250 or 300 even and then you have to complete half a dozen mail in rebate forms to get the quoted price. and it's a good deal for the manufacturer since not everyone reddems the rebates, so they end up selling at an average price that's higher than the advertised one. it's sneaky, but not faulty.

is it your first cat? if so you will soon learn who is the pet and who the owner. your new nicknam shall be biped can opener.

one thing, depending on the hd you already have, to speed up your system would be to buy a fast hd.

dude, i'm reporting you to the fcc. you /gotta/ be doin something illegal to the line, lol

well, 10 to 20 would barely cover the shipping from puerto rico.

well, i'm pretty sure it's an 800. can't check it because it's a dell box and the ps fried and it's the kind that needs a special dell only ps. wasn't worth replacing atm. it's a slotted processor iirc.

and 128 megs of ram (i think) to go with it.
