Piece one: I got my computer up and running at UNI. Piece of junk that it is, it works, so I'm not complaining.
Piece two: It's a megabit ethernet connection..... faaaaast.... Downloaded Symantec 10, a 24 meg file, in about half a minute... *drool*
Piece three: I upgraded to FireFox!!!!!!!!!!
Piece four: I'm makin pointless smilies again!!!
Tsk tsk... I am disappointed.
True coders long for the days of 2400 baud modems and 4 color BBS's. This new fangled megabit connection is warping the minds of those who would code.
It's a disgrace.
Dont you mean Gigabit ethernet connection?
Sadly, no.. only megabit... still, faster than anything else i've ever used. I like it.
we'll if its good news for ya...:D
shut up... just... All of you! Stop making me feel like the incompetent coder that I am!
I'm getting withdrawal, I havent pwnd anyone for several minutes now.
I'd say i'm a fairly easy target now...
I am upgrading from 128 Mb ram to a gig as soon as i get some money.. found out it's not as expensive as I thought, so there might be hope for my computer after all.
You should get VoIP, make use of that connection...
That's what I do with my 3MB ;)
Except right now I still only have 128 mb ram, and just launching FF is sluggish. I'm not gonna bother with VoIP until I get my upgrade.. and even then, i'm not sure if i'll bother.
I wasnt so sucsesful one of my monitors lost all its red while being transported to my UNI.

How do I spell Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?
Firefox is spelled F-i-r-e-f-o-x - only the first letter capitalized (i.e. not FireFox, not Foxfire, FoxFire or whatever else a number of folk seem to think it to be called.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".
NoteMe was right? :eek2:
If you get a service VoIP doesn't run through your computer. Only something like Skype does. My VoIP costs me $20 a month unlimited calls to US, Canada and western Europe. I also get all the features you'd have to pay for with a regular phone company, like call ID.Quote:

That won't help wossy... I just scream at the top of my lungs and get a 30 meter radius :)
They are still wrong since they are not following proper gramaticale abbreviations and are doing something illogical.Quote:

i just finished installing vc6 on my comp...
No, it just doesn't flow right...
But VB isn't 1 word? :ehh:
Fire Fox.. there, it works now.
I get 5mbits for a home connection:D not too bad:D
Do you also say Lx for Linux? Thats one word.
Do you have abbreviations for every single word? :)
Please do a search first before posting a question.
Also, Google is your friend.
:lol: ;) Jk.
Every single Word?
Where is the abbreviation for the word "chicken"? :D
cn, i'd guess...
Chicken: "Cx" and not "Cn"
:lol:
It's not in the list...
that's because everything tastes like it.
Except for tuna, the chicken of the sea.
chicken of the sea is ChxieQuote:

Who cares. They can do what they want, it's their product, and it beats the pants off IE ;)
