  1. Actually I am figuring their search engine is designed this way, to take a sort of poll on information. Actually it is just a guess as I am not really that technical. But how do you think it makes up the list you see anyway. Probably on current info. Try and look up older stuff. It seldoms comes up. It is usually current items. Just my thoughts! And yes, a computer is doing this, not a human. For google using a program.
  2. sixkidsrob, a lot of us do get DSL speeds at night. But only at night. When the bandwidth is free'd up. Buying all that crap will only help if they do not oversell so much. So back to square one. Satelite sucks. And you guys with those astounding speeds suck. Didn't your momma teach you to share?
  3. stingingsilver those speeds look pretty close to bahimas's speeds. So I would guess you are right on track. Enjoy.
  4. Man that looks just like algebra, if I had known some of the abbreviations I could have solved some of it. sqrt=square root cos=?? ^=?? I could do most of this in my head. Just not sure what most of it is.
  5. Really not offended. But maybe it is that way, because of so much on the net recently from the media saying this statement. That would be my guess!
  6. PM swimmer or Van, I bet they could do it! They's the man!
  7. Welcome to the forum megazero Nice speeds you have there. Enjoy your stay.
  8. Welcome to the forum joooools Man, that post was so old the Rev had posted in it. Glad you got it working.
  9. RAINMAKA is allowed, but your not water. The problems with calculators is, it will never show your problem solving.
  10. RAINMAKA having been out of school for a while, it would be helpful if I knew what type of Math it is. Algebra or what?
  11. Must say, as this gets older, it gets easier. "You got 10 right! Excellent, you have the makings of a proper propeller head. "
  12. Welcome to the forum NetKnockout Stick around, the fun has just began. I noticed that "small change down in speed " was in the post. But I have never had that particular problem.
  13. Actually Roco, I think the little Hitler VW was one of the greatest cars ever built. I had one that got 40+ mpg. Stock with header and oversized tires. Which did not mess with the speedo as you (other folks) might think. It ran off of the front wheel. They were rear wheel drive, and would go just about anywhere. As long as groung clearance allowed. And I passed many 4X4's on snowy streets.
  14. Nah, with those speeds you are now probably experiencing cached results. Clear out your temporary files in internet options under tools in your browser.
  15. I bet your comp caught on fire with test cholla. Damn. And who says you can't boost tests on dial-up. Also cholla, couldn't you just take the test not logged in to leep your stats normal? And how would 8962 Kbps mess up your 53 kbps stats?
  16. One other idea intense, make sure the computer stays in plain site, where every one can see them when they are on-line. Definately not in the bedroom. My kids comp is in the kitchen. We just make room. Embarrassment is a powerful tool. How much would we be more careful if our kids could see every thing we do on it. Even just jokes like we do in here. At least I do when my kids are in the room.
  17. Gotta love those start up programs. All I run on start up is Anti virus and Microsoft Defender, the rest are on prompt only.
  18. Have you tried safe ISP's like paxway? http://www.paxway.com/ OR http://www.paxway.com/signup.cfm They advertise on their TV channel here in KC MO. Never tried it as of yet. They have dial-up, accelerated dial-up, or DSL. Another site: http://www.safesurf.com/ Some software, with free trial: http://www.netnanny.com/ Many more filtering software: http://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Proxying_and_Filtering/Content_Filtering/Software/Client/ Many Monitoring Software: http://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Monitoring/ Too many to share, here is the main Google list. http://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Child_Safety/ Some freeware: http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/misctools/fwparents.html Or another safety one: http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Child_Safety/ Maybe your answers are there.
  19. He is taking over for ROM-DOS on dial-up. Someone had to do it. Check out some of ROM's old speed post's. They were way over 100 kbps. And no modem bonding. And also on free dial-up. Very few actually know how he did it. Here is a couple of his good ones. :::..

  20. Pay the fee, if you have been on satelite that long. Why is this really a question? It would not be a question for me! And I would be happy immediately. If not sooner.
  21. Up to 16 Mbps " connectivity at rates of from 512 Kbps up to 16 Mbps. " , guess that won't be available without a price!
  22. Welcome to the forum DELGRAD I suppose you were never on DirecPC like your sig suggests?
  23. Oh, I prefer the panic routine. Spyware, adaware, malware, and virus check. Then a total defrag and disk clean. Eveytime TMN goes off the air, my computer gets cleaned. Then I am not sure it will run right, nothing runs right after I clean it. Might be because it is where I spend my online time.
