Trace complete.

I have it. Nothing special. FF and Opera still blow it out of the water.

CellOne uses GSM with SIM cards. I looked at the phone and it looks like it should work.

i use 800 x 600.. And using anything over 1152 x 864 for standard use , is ridiculous. squint all you like 

Lol I can see just fine. It actually is harder to see whenever I don't use the monitors native resolution.

show offs  flippin bastards...bite my left...whatever

Bastards back? Where?!?!

Left-overs?

     

         

I use 1920x1200, I am the utlra cool.  :haha:

Nah. 1920x1200 is for nerds.

lol jk. But lets face it. I am "the ultimate" cool. It's undeniable. 

I use 1440x900. I am the ultimate cool. 

Go with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150230

What kind of powersupply does that video card take? I have been wanting to upgrade my video card, but I have a store bought computer(ick), which probably only has about a 350 watt power supply. I don't really want to drop too much money into it, because I am probably going to get me a real gaming computer in about a year or maybe a little less.

You guys are ass holes. 

Yes, we're all perfectly normal.

Except for this big mammoth we call Shug. He has this sadistic initiation for all new members. I hope you like honey and being canned.

You forgot to warn him that he attacks from behind lol. 

Lol I could never fit all of my crap on a desk like that. My desk is already full as it is.

Welcome to the forum!!! Interesting choice of name lol.

Hmm...A PM for mwa perhaps? 

Thats good,it is always nice to hear someone is happy with their satelite. There are times it rocks. (and then there are times it does not.) 

There is?

tommie,  I think he ment w00t FOR d-way and not the other thing with the fingers.... then again I could be wrong...

Lol I don't think you will ever see anybody say w00t "for" d-way lol. Or any satellite provider for that. Also d-way wouldn't have results that fast.

The lower the better on ping times. Also there is a way to check this without any extra programs. Just go start--run--type: cmd--hit ok--When the command prompt comes up type: ping google.com -n 25--Then if you want to copy the results right click--hit select all--then paste it wherever. On the -n 25 part that determines how many pings you want to do. You can change it to 10 or 100, 1000 whatever.

That's one to remember. I was talkin' with some coworkers on how to describe a usb cable in laymans terms. Analogies don't come easy! I once had a call from a lady in Sun City for 20 minutes on her cpu only to find out she was holding the mouse upside down. All I can say is, it takes a photographic memory if you're in tech support. 

Lol. I wouldn't make a very good tech support. My problem is I am not good at breaking it down for the non computer literate people. I can help people that know what they are doing all day, but somebody that doesn't know up from down on the computer...urg...I'm not a very patient person when it comes to that lol. I was trying to show my grandma how to use gmail because her ISP's e-mail was being rejected by MSN. So I tell her to go to gmail.com. She asked me where she types that in at. I told her the address bar. She goes....where's the address bar...*sigh* About 30 mins later I finally taught her how to log in to a gmail account that I had already created for her! lol

a friend bought a new one, so i got his old for free!!

I gotta make new friends! 

Swimmer, I'm glad you like Dell, personally you could'nt pay me to use a Dell. I also just got a new laptop, HP Pavilion DV9500t. I got 17" Ultra Brightview widescreen, dual 160GB HDDs (320GB total) 4 gigs of RAM, HD DVD Player with standard DVD recorder, Vista Ultimate 64-bit, Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 processor (2.2 GHz),  Intel Pro Wireless 4965 AGN with Bluetooth wireless card, built in dual microphoones, built in webcam, built in fingerprint scanner, 512Mb NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS video card. I love that PC!

Thanks a lot. You just made me drool on my keyboard.

ROFL! How can you not know about the F keys at the top.  Lol I know what you mean though. My grandpa asks me for help about his computer all the time. I haft to explain to him where the start button and the task bar is!!! "It's that perdy little shiny button right there at the bottom" Then whenever I am trying to explain something to him I get:

That's not here.

Yes it is.

No its not.

Then a few minutes later...Oh there it is!

Ah thought you said it wasn't there. Guess it magically appeared all of a sudden lol. *wink* 

I just got a free toshiba laptop!!

Intel P4 HT 3.0 ghz 2 gb pc3200 ram

160 gb 7200 8mb harddrive

15 inch wide screen!!

How'd you swing that?

my 19inch wide screen is 1440x900

Same here.

Yea because its almost double the resolution.

Your going to start seeing this alot more. The higher the resolution the better.

Hmm...Never seen 1080p on a 15in so I guess I will just haft to take your word for it.

The eye can tell the difference for sure. 1440x900 is barley even considered high def. 1920x1200 is only 1080p. With the higher resolution you get a much bigger work space.

On a 15in.?

1920x1200 on 15 inch screen? omg.

Yah that's kind of what I was thinking. A little overkill there. I seriously doubt the eye can tell the difference between 1440x900 and 1920x1200. Oh well better to have too much than too little.
