  1. "Hi, your through to BT Internet Support, how can I help?"

    "YOU FUCKERS!! YOUR SHITTY INTERNET IS CRAP, I WANT MY FUCKING MONEY BACK!!!"

    "OK sir, tell me what the problem is and-"

    "FUCK YOU!!"

    <this goes on for several minutes, and I finally manage to calm the guy down>

    "OK, your wireless internet doesn't work, can you see it in the list of wireless networks?"

    "No, I can just see McDonalds"

    "OK, can you tell me if the wireless light is flashing or steady or off, its on your router"

    "How the fuck am I supposed to do that? My router's at home!!"

    "er... where are you?"

    "I'm in my lorry cab, I'm doing a run through Holland at the moment"

    Thats rich

  2. Title of topic is supposed to be Need- not neex.

    Ubuntu is getting really old. I am looking for a new *nix OS to use as a desktop.

    I was going to throw Solaris on my desktop but i was wondering if anyone could recommend me a different highly stable solution. I uaully leave my systems on because they are "busy" alot.

    throw me some distros or should i just stick with open solaris?

  3. So.....

    your router is configured to have a static internet ip address? and if you hit the reset button you have to give it this address manually.

    if this is the case. go to http://whatsmyip.org/ and that is your internet IP address.

    write it down, hit the reset button on your router, log in and put that address back in as the internet address

  4. I think that students should have access to laptops.

    This will work 100% if implemented properly. Textbooks should not be completely aband0ned.

    The teachers should keep eyes on student to make sure they are not playing games and instant messaging.

    You would have access to the web and then this becomes a big problem which i think needs to be fixed anyway:

    I always find that the worst thing with school is the internet filters. They are COMPLETELY outrageous. They interfere with browsing anything. I think the only thing in schools that should be blocked is sites dedicated to games, and porn.

  5. Al Gore = EPIC FAIL!

    Global Warming = Uber Sniper Fail!

    Polar Bears = Still not drowning... and != cute and cuddly

    SMOG = EPIC AMMOUNT OF CRAPPY IDLING CARS NEEDING A TUNEUP FAIL!

    High Speed Internet = WIN!

    :lol:

    I was thinking about setting up my own ISP. Once you get the money for the direct line from wherever you are pretty much set. Thats the biggest cost.

  6. I have been using the open source music player Songbird for a long time now.

    I decided i make a thread about it here for the people that havent heard of it.

    I love it. It runs under Linux/Windows/Mac. Has many features.

    Its changed alot since i first found it back when they were still comming up with ideas. I personally think that they changed it a little to much but its still a great player.

  7. Oke, Thx, now I have the code (and I know now where to find it in the future ;)), but as always it doesn't work with WordPress-Blog... What am I doing wrong??? I post it, but is just "ignores" the code for some reason, like it does with every other video....

    Maybee because its trying to prevent cross site scripting?

  8. Linux would be the most powerfull kernel if the developers started working with it. Imagine big games like crysis running on a linux machine. It would be amazing.

    For me a many other people running linux is so easy. I found my switch from windows to linux to be a very great experience. It was more fun i didnt have to maintain much because nothing ever went wrong.

    If the developers started working with linux it could very well be head to head with windows in a few years.
