the only thing fast internet speeds are good for on the web is streaming video and huge download files. other than that your internet experience will be the same, just a little faster

soooooooo like Hulu.com is good for american TV shows. you've already discovered torrents....

the only thing left would be what buckaroo said

Hey, I've had 256k the past year and its a big deal to me. 6 times faster means no more month-long downloads, no more constant singleplayer gaming to conserve on bandwidth for a download, Steam actually works for me now, I can actually talk on Ventrilo... If you think about it, I have loads to be excited about, more bandwidth = more possiblities and less time wasted. Don't judge me because Im 14, you try living with dial-up for years and you'll see what Im all about.

Sorry to cut your excitement but I too live in the mountains in a small town but not too far from a major city and i can get ADSL2+ at about 18mbps which is about 2mb per second.

You see, I live quite far from any major city. I am getting the best out here at the moment, I'm a 30 minute drive from the nearest town.

30 minutes form the nearest town?

shouldn't you be, you know, living off the grid so they can't find you.... :shiftyninja:

I'm safe from zombehs dun worry.

I live on a lake and I can float out into the middle with days worth of food and wait until they leave....if they ever get here. If they don't go, I can take my truck up to Glacier Park and hide up in the pass to Canaidia with many others and hold them off for many weeks due to the narrow roads and my oversupply of shotgun ammo... If all else fails, act gay and scare them away......

And if I lived any closer to the end of the "grid" I wouldn't have internetz at all :( The IP on this compooter is not registered in my name so I have nothing to fear until I go live on my own...then the pr0nx has to go :p

I still have 256. I had 1.5, but they downgraded me, those a***oles.

How much do you pay a month?

I pay 20$ mo I think due to the CenturyTel bundling deal.

See, I have CrapTel, too. I pay 31.50 a month for, get this, 256k.

I ordered 1.5mbps two years ago. They downgraded me and told me they never offered 1.5 in my area.

I just want to strangle those people.

Haha, I feel sorry for you and your inability to pirate games because of slow speeds :shiftyninja: ...

Really, companies can be bullsh*t that way. Told you they never offered it in your area when you had it for a period of time?! That makes absolutely no f**king sense.... haha, get ur satellite TV and phone from them and they take off like 40$ off your bill.

For now, I'm jsut going to shuv it in your face that I have 1.5megs before you :p jk

    • Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)
    • I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!
