What is

lol, we are backwards from u guys over here 

I'll live, broken pelvic bone and both bones in my shin 

Got broadsided in a Saturn right in my driver's door at about 45 mph

I'm a bit torrent guy, find most of my torrents on torrentspy.com and use bitcomet to d/l them

Hey how is everybody doing?  Haven't been on in a long time, just got out of the hospital due to a car accident.

No Boost on my service yet as all computers run the same speed as they always have...

My dad has an old laptop that runs windows 3.1

Officially, it has color, but the lcd is so bad that i'd consider it black and white myself. I think its around 20 Mhz too. I'l try to install vista on it just for fun. Oh wait, I have to check if it has a cd drive first 

LOL my dad has a desktop with 3.1 - he tried upgrading to 95 and it wouldn't even handle it..he had to upgrade everything and BUY a cd drive 

yeah man, i just upgraded to a Pentium 20 mhz CPU !!1

you'd be rollin with that computer...bet you could even run PONG!!!!!!!!!!

what power supply would that be? mine is a 500 watt and it only has 20A on the 12+ volt rail. 

btw very nice setup.

Its a PowerUp supply from tigerdirect, was only 40 bucks

  Freakin awesome!.......The only thing I would have done differently , would have been to get a matched pair of mem sticks, so they play nicer together, in dual channel during high demands    Nice ass heat sink  And for the PS, a dual 12v rail , in case you add another GPU at some time .

Yeah I'll upgrade teh PS if it comes to that, but as it sits it'll run most games that we have on the market these days

I love tiger and newegg, i buy everything from them.  Forgot to mention i got a 550W power supply with 32A on the +12 volt rail.

This will last me a while, and i may even SLI my card 

Wanna LAN up at my place or yours?

I like to get what i can for as little money as possible lol, gonna take some tweaking because i still have 3 IDE devices until i get my 2nd SATA drive.

So I ordered all of the parts and most of them have arrived (except the CPU heatsink - go figure).

Let me know what you guys think

Looks like everything is within spec for the speeds as far as downloads go - browsing is a bit slow with wildblue, firefox seems to be the best browser to use with the service though.

Oh yeah forgot. I have Wildblue Optimizer downloaded and installed. Don't think I've ever exceeded 50% of my user threshold with the 49.99 plan. (currently at 35% usage download and 10% usage upload)

Sent you a message with information regarding what to do PM me back if none of that works.

ATL Comcast increased Download Speed at end of 2006.

Upload still is a little slow.

Thats a good upload for comcast - seems like they focus more on the downloads, just wish they would up the upload a bit more and i'd be happy as hell lol

Enjoy the stay!

Excellent!  Glad to hear its all working good now 

Do you have a firewall installed that maybe sync's up with a different time zone?  Check to see if there's a daylight savings time option on your firewall if so..

Also>> Tools>Options, then clicked CalendarOptions button and then the TimeZone button -- and "current time zone" setting is okay?

Awesome!  Glad to hear it worked out for you 

If your WildBlue-supplied outdoor unit requires service under this limited warranty, WildBlue will not charge for any labor costs we incur to repair or replace it (or any component of it) within the first 90 days after the initial installation. After this period, WildBlue will cover the cost of the new equipment, but the on-site labor cost must be paid by you. WildBlue will provide on-site labor at its standard rates and an estimated charge can be given prior to the work, based on the type of the replacement. If your satellite dish needs to be re-pointed after the first 90 days of service, standard on-site labor charges will apply.

This is located in the warranty agreement on wildblue.com under the legal section.  The on-site labor mentioned there means there is a 75 dollar charge for a service call after the first 90 days.  Lot of people don't see that or even think to look in there when signing up and its a big surprise to them.  Thought I'd post this info for anybody interested.

Zerger: Just to get some info here let me know the following information:

Operating System, Browser and version and PM me your phone number so I can look up your account and see if anything is wrong in there
