CA3LE

by the way, I have a friend who came to the US about 24 years ago from Guatemala (he came here legally by the way), he had nothing. His first job was a McDonalds. He got a house after a few years, then got a new one a couple years later and rented his old one.. he did that over and over and then started just buying houses and renting them. Now he owns 16 houses (last I heard) and a 10 unit apartment complex and his net worth is well into the millions and even after paying all of his mortgages he profits about $6000/month. The kicker is that in about two more years most of his properties will be completely paid off (he refied with short term 10 and 15 year mortgages on many of his properties). After those are paid off ALL of the rent he gets will be profit. So he is TOTALLY set for life just because he played te real estate market the right way... OH and plus in the past two years or so the market for houses here in Phoenix went way up (my house has nearly doubled value and I only got my house 4 years ago)... so his net worth has just about doubled in the past few years. Man, I wish I was set up like that, I can't even imagine being THAT relaxed. Hell, if he wanted to he could sell just the little apartment complex he has for a couple million, he told me that he picked that up years ago for 300K and now it's worth a couple million, wouldn't you like to have that kind of equity?!?! -- and that's just ONE of his properties, he's the luckiest Guatemalan I've ever met, and to think... he started only a little over 20 years ago... at McDonalds, that goes to show you that ANYONE can do it if you're determined enough. He always tells me stuff like "Americans have all of this gold right in front of them, but unfortunately for them they are too lazy to reach out and grab it... For some reason they expect someone to put it in their hand, if they only knew how easy it is to reach out and grab it for themselves... if they only knew. I'm very happy to be in the United States but still have the work ethic of a Guatemalan" -- He's a very smart man... we can all learn allot from him, seriously. I know I've personally learned allot from him. -Damon

I haven't had time to read this thread.. but I can tell you this much.... what you already know.... real estate is always a good idea

check it out.. I did it again.. but logged it this time http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-13814

Yep.. someone actually tested all of the current mirrors! Check it out.. I ran ALL of the mirrors. I did this in between other tasks so all of the tests are over about a 1 1/2 hour time frame. All tests ran between 11:30pm and 1:00am GMT-0700 on May 2nd/3rd 2006 on my Cox Communications 9Mbps down / 1Mbps up home consumer class connection. The mirrors that I considered acceptable for testing on a connection as fast as mine are as follows testmy.net (of course) mirror-Blunted mirror-Blunted2 mirror-dlewis23 mirror-dlewis23-2 mirror-Elite.Pete mirror-lofl mirror-ShaneAu mirror-TriRan2 A little expaination Other people may get different results because of route and internet traffic. But I DO believe that the servers that didn't score over 7Mbps are incapable of attaining the bandwidth nessisary to test connections over 5Mbps. All of the mirrors outside of the US should be considered acceptable, if I was outside the US I'm sure I would have been able to get close to the maximum speed of my line. But given the distance I can't get accurate results from those servers.. that's just a given. Especially the VanBuren and just- mirrors are known to be great non-us mirrors, so don't count the non-us mirrors out just because I was unable to max out my own connection... your personal results will vary, especially true if your outside the US. And now for the results Keep in mind that all of these scores are taken with a 9Mbps connection [/html] [b]testmy.net[/b][size=7pt] [size=7pt][color=#2B66AA][b]:::..

We will actually be having a contest fairly soon, the contest will ask our users to create banners for the site. The winners will have hardware prizes shipped to them from our administrative group. More information to be announced soon. I think we might release this contest on or about the 15th of this month. -- so get ready, we should have some fairly nice prizes.

yeah, no need to ask. I would love anyone to link to me, as long as they aren't talking shit or linking to me off some illegal baby eating website or something..... haha

hey.... solidsnake I will PM you my email address... send it to me and I will put it online for you and make it difficult to capture -- it's save resistant... not save proof, lol -- if someone can view something they can get it, but I will sure as hell make it difficult, after I have finished I will let you know how I did it

Sorry about the downtime this afternoon, the msql server crashed and I happened to be in downtime phoenix away from a computer all afternoon... and was unaware of the issue. I have resolved the issue, that you all who emailed me about the problem. Damon Mueller owner/admin testmy.net

The google ads are to the left, the ads are text based so you may have not noticed -- I try not to annoy my guests. But please don't click on the ads unless your interested in what's being advertised... if you just click the ads and end up not signing up, buying a product or surfing the site you have gone to as a result of an ad click the site will make money the day you click... but may lose money in the future because Google adjusts future payout based on conversion (turnover) rates. Thank you for wanting to help out, the best way you can help the site out is to tell as many friends as you possibly can about the site... remember, testmy.net is 100% word-of-mouth advertised so I rely on my users to grow the sites popularity... ... so far, so good

High number is bad. Low number is good. You will actually have many pings across the internet because you will be visiting many sites and talking with many servers. You will have a differnet ping to each server you connect to. Your ping is the time in milliseconds it takes for the information to travel from you to the server and back. In your games for instance, if you have a high ping you will get lag. Ping can be effected by either distance or a problem on either the client or host end. Hope this clears your question... and Welcome to the site

Counting in my head... I have 48, when I'm not feeling lazy I might actually count them :evil6:

Just wondering... I'd just like to poll our users
