    Default FINALLY got Broadband today

    I finally got rid of my old 56k dialup today and cashed in on Broadband!

    I got an ADSL connection with Wireless LAN so all the computers in my house are connected.

    No more disconnecting when flopping quads for me!

    Sometimes I forget that some people don't have broadband.
    I don't know what they have to say
    It makes no difference anyway.
    Whatever it is...
    I'm against it.

    lol yeah. Once you have it you can never go back. Ive had mine about 4 years I think and I would rather be kicked in the nuts than go back to 56k.

    a little town called none of your goddamn business
    I didn't even know it was physically possible to run online gaming software on a dialup. I remember playing Quake on one back in the day.

    That was a bitch.

    I substitute "I" when I really mean to say "my parents" all of the time.

    And you have set the security on your wireless router so that your neighbours can't piggyback on your connection right?

    If someone's downloading several porn videos next door when I'm quadtabling, it generally lags me, so that is why we use password protected routers.

    Not only can they use your net connection for illegal ativities (that would be traced back to your network and ip thus getting you in shit), but they would have access to your network and could possibly do damage to it (meaning the computers connected to it).

    If they want high speed, then they can bloody well pay for it.

    if my neighbors used my internet connection to do illegal activities id laugh, there would be nothing more random. well worth possibly getting in trouble with my isp.

    So, say they did some kiddy pron downloading. The police trace the ip and come knocking down (not on) your door. Would you be laughing then?

    yah I just got my dvd drive in my computer about 3 months ago maybe. Know why I got it? Cuz I decided I wanted to finally get a CD burner, and the combo drive seemed like a good idea to me, cuz my PS2's having disc read errors with like every dvd.
    You-- yes, you-- you're a cunt.
