  1. Not to be picky (Don't you just hate when someone starts a sentence with that?) , but did you remove the counter up top that tells how many people are connected? Just curious....
  2. Yep. Even now on this connection, the computer I use mostly at work (OLD... P3 800) tops out at about 10 Mbps less than the machine I have here with a P4 in it.... so yes, the computer could easily become the bottleneck....
  3. Agreed. I've accidentally posted in a forum I wouldn't normally post in.... dunno whether I just didn't see it, or it wasn't there...
  4. I must agree with Shug on the music thing.... I don't much care for it either... I didn't even think about the bandwidth implications... And I'm with Shug and CA3LE on the pancake thing... Screw pancakes, I'd rather eat a sponge.... gimmie some eggs, gritts, bacon, hashedbrowns, and biscuts... Damn, now I'm all hungry.....
  5. Anytime.... Glad to have helped...
  6. Well, it seems that Bellsouth has been getting alot of complaints from it's X-treme package customers because they were only averaging about 2.5 megabits at best in most cases. They attributed this to the overhead of the connection.... Apparently they finally decided to do something about it. About a week or so ago, my modem re-synced
  7. Looks like about 30kB a sec for me.... here....
  8. Well, .com names were originally supposed to be for commercial domains, .org for non-profit organizations, and .net was supposed to be for like service providers. No advantages/disadvantages that I know of... If I'm mistaken, someone please correct me here....
  9. Yeah... you were one of the lucky ones then... First hard drive I got was a whopping 10 megs, and costed around $400... and the thing was huge... looked like an intake manifold for an engine or somethin......lol
  10. My average upload speed don't show up in the top 10 members list anymore.... "Upload Average = 3427 Kbps :: 418 KB/s".... Did I break something?
  11. Yep... I miss my ol' Atari 800XL sometimes...lol
  12. Hmmm.. I dunno. I'd have to be really rich to get anything more than a DS-3 (@ $5000-$10000 a month).... I mean... an OC-48 (2.5 Gbps) is roughly $100,000 - $120,000 a month (Which, given the opportunity I could find much more creative ways to spend).... and most servers you would download from wouldn't be able to sustain those speeds to you.... I have trouble at work finding servers that will send me files to my office as fast as I can get them and there I'm "only" at ~30 Mbps.... there becomes a point of diminishing returns for the money I'd think.
  13. I don't know what adverse effects the Google bar will have for you, but as for myself I try to stay away from little "addons" like that.... Just more crap that clutters up your machine.... That's just my humble opinion.
  14. 2400 bps modem speed circa 1980s hahaha... That made me just remember that my first modem was 300 baud... and now I am connected via 4 multiplexed DS-3's... insane.
  15. Hmm... looks cool, but for now I'll settle with my good ol'
  16. I gotta agree with speedy... I've never heard of a T9... Maybe an OC-9, but at 466.56Mbps I'm not sure a university would need a pipe like that.
  17. I play UT2k4 and Half-Life2 Deathmatch sometimes... I like other types of games though too.... Starcraft/Broodwar, Empire Earth, Rome - Total War, Desert Combat and DCX(BF1942)... stuff like that As far as World of Warcraft, I plan on getting that one.... But keeping in mind how I am about games, I know that if I buy it I won't ever get anything done because I will be playing, so I've opted not to get it yet. I've literally lost 2 friends to that game, haven't heard from either one of them in like a month and a half. They try to pressure me into getting it all the time (the ONLY time I hear from them)...
  18. Hmm... that would be cool. I don't know anything about C++ but I know a little about VB 6....
  19. Oops... didn't realize that this was a DW forum... I just clicked in from the scrolling topics at the top... I'll pay a bit more attention in the future.
  20. You guess correctly... this is my office. But I'm here more than I'm home so depends on how you look at it.
  21. Nice... If they would just hurry up and get fiber goin down here in Louisiana....
