Good news left and right!!!

[timeshifter]

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!!!

[wossname]

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.

[RobDog888]

Dont you mean Gigabit ethernet connection?

[timeshifter]

Sadly, no.. only megabit... still, faster than anything else i've ever used. I like it.

[gchick]

we'll if its good news for ya...

[timeshifter]

shut up... just... All of you! Stop making me feel like the incompetent coder that I am!

[wossname]

I'm getting withdrawal, I havent pwnd anyone for several minutes now.

[timeshifter]

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.

[-TPM-]

You should get VoIP, make use of that connection...
That's what I do with my 3MB

[timeshifter]

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.

[NoteMe]It's called Fx[/NoteMe]

[timeshifter]

well [NoteMe] can go jump off a bridge!

[manavo11]

Well said

[RobDog888]

Since NoteMe cant spell would you really want to follow his suggestion (Fx)? Should be FF

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".

[manavo11]

NoteMe was right?

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.

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.

I have 2 bean cans and a bit of string. It facilitates unlimited free calls to anywhere within a 5 metre radius of me. That's still infinitely better value than anything you have to pay for. Its the future.

[manavo11]

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.
If we did that same logic with Visual Basic then we all would be calling it "Vc" instead of VB

[timeshifter]

i just finished installing vc6 on my comp...


No, it just doesn't flow right...

[manavo11]

But VB isn't 1 word?

[timeshifter]

Fire Fox.. there, it works now.

[MrPolite]

I get 5mbits for a home connection not too bad

[RobDog888]

Do you also say Lx for Linux? Thats one word.

[manavo11]

Do you have abbreviations for every single word?

[RobDog888]

Please do a search first before posting a question.
Also, Google is your friend.

Jk.

Every single Word?

[manavo11]

Where is the abbreviation for the word "chicken"?

[timeshifter]

cn, i'd guess...

[RobDog888]

Chicken: "Cx" and not "Cn"

[manavo11]

It's not in the list...

[timeshifter]

that's because everything tastes like it.

[mendhak]

Except for tuna, the chicken of the sea.

[MrPolite]

Except for tuna, the chicken of the sea.

chicken of the sea is Chxie

[dglienna]

Haven't heard of that, but I like StarKist Tuna. :ING::

[penagate]

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