  1. I hope it has nothing to do with the batteries.
  2. You are so lucky. You deserve it php. Especially as long as you were on satelite. Enjoy. Almost want to throw you a parting party.
  3. THANKS TIM Way to go Tim. Now you have broken a perfectly good connection again. Actually during that time, I couldn't beat you. I was enduring a storm which pretty much shut me down again.
  4. Now remember though, in order to implicate that smiley. You also have to include waterRTBH's pirate one (I think that was the one she wanted.)
  5. So close you missed it, by 34 seconds in post time. ^^^ Reply # 6
  6. Don't forget to post the new speeds in a couple of days. But that looks pretty much on fire. *ssssssss* Ouch.
  7. OK try this Sparticus. Host Stats in TMN header*click Submit Query button*it should put up your host and you. Mine is 1408 D/L average. and somehow miraculously 157U/L which is a lie. I have never tested that high. http://www.testmy.net/tools/database/host_stats.php?host=direcpc.com&notboolean=1 (4 mo)
  8. What a bunch of whiners. That is nothing amc. Remember 500/50
  9. Somebody has been watching. But it will not be that easy to catch dlewis. He needs sent on a second honeymoon. Then I could get a little closer. He did cut it short last time.
  10. Also assuming Tim has not really made it the home page.
  11. Well if it works, it will definatley screw her up. She will be looking at the router. Instead of the computer itself. The old shell game, I believe. Hide it right under her nose.
  12. Welcome to the forum tidelover Wow, you have been here longer than me. "Date Registered: April 29, 2005, 06:21:03 PM " if that reads correctly. Hope you enjoy posting. I enjoy it.
  13. I have to admit it, I never really thought about whether it was right or wrong. I never figured it really mattered. I guess you were just curious though? I guess I am also, now. How do they come up with those speeds I wonder
  14. Welcome to the forum TOOLpwnsYOU I am not on comcast, but are you sure you have not been uncapped... http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-16916 ...or boosted? http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-14498 Here is the comcast section to find out from, besides those links. http://www.testmy.net/forum/b-19 Hope this helped.
  15. Shug knows all the good hiding places on here. He has used them many times.
  16. OK, I believe she is not the administrator. Correct?? So why won't this work?? Method 2: Block the sites entirely Alternately, you can make it harder to visit time-sucking sites, which forces yourself to think, "Do I really have time to do this right now?" Set your computer to block certain sites and make yourself unblock them each time you want to visit. One way to do this is to tell your computer that these sites live on your hard drive - which obviously they don't - and get a "Server not found" error when your fingers impulsively type out that tempting URL. Here's how: Windows Using Notepad or some other text editor, open the file named "hosts", which is located in the following directory: Windows XP = C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32DRIVERSETC Windows 2K = C:WINNTSYSTEM32DRIVERSETC Windows 98ME = C:WINDOWS Add the following on its own line in the hosts file, using the sites that apply to you: 127.0.0.1 metafilter.com flickr.com Save and quit. Mac OS/X In Finder, from the Go menu, choose "Go to folder." In the "Go to the folder" dialog, type "/etc/". From the /etc/ folder window, open the "hosts" file in a text editor. Add the following to the hosts file in its own line, using the site that applies to you: 127.0.0.1 metafilter.com flickr.com Save and quit. Now, when you visit Metafilter or Flickr, you'll get a "Server Not Found" error. (Or, for those of you running a web server at home, your own server's files will appear.) The advantage to this method is that these sites will be blocked from every browser on that computer (not just Firefox). The downside is that when you decide it's an ok time to browse Flickr or Metafilter, you've got to comment out this line in the hosts file (add a # to the beginning of the line), which can be a pain in the arse. This, of course, may be a good thing. You decide. http://www.lifehacker.com/software/feature/geek-to-live-ban-timewasting-web-sites-146448.php Just a thought.
  17. But not nearly as much fun. And not near as good of a story.
  18. I think CA3LE will get the both of you. You both better get real good at Jailhouse Rock. Sing it boys. *click, click, so it's 1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready, and go cat go. You fella's are in so much trouble. And shug started it. The head kingpin.
  19. What ever works for you fikester is great. Probably something I heard on here. ( I know, you can not believe all the hype all the time). Maybe it is just me. But I do know Norton bites, and fails. Norton trashed one and almost 2 comps for me. Luckily I switched before it got the second one. Never again. Now I remember, the only problems I have had with McAffee was having Norton and McAffee installed at the same time. And the fact it is not free. (I like free ) I guess that is about it for me.
  20. Mine goes out during storms. So what is your secret ghostmaster ??
