  1. Yeah I should probably have mentioned that. It does compress the signal. It spends about 10-20 seconds optimizing the connection, but it plays far better than i had thought possible. I have 384kbps up on my line. What's really cool is being able to watch on-demand programs on my ipaq wirelessly at work. :) No more magazines in the bathroom :)
  2. Actually as far as bandwitdh, it's possible. I have a regular cable modem hookup at home, and stream my cable programming via the net with a box called Slingbox. They do use there own propriatary software, but it works pissah.
  3. mmmmm Dunkin' Donuts Not trendy, been here for decades. Although never ask for a regular coffee, it means something different every where you go. Gotta be specific. /boston accent Gimmi a lahge coffee with cream, NOOOOOO sugah boston accent/
  4. I have a solution! We slow down the earths rotation so we have 36 hours in each day. We already screwed the world with global warming, how much damage can this do? The planet will be fine. Only the occupants will be screwed. :)
  5. I've always believed that that is exactly why whe need the right to bear arms. Criminals will ALWAYS be able to get guns. Although I have no problem with waiting periods, or required courses. If you're going to own a gun, you should know how it works. I'd rather have a gun and not need it, than need a gun and not have it. I'm american and a gun owner. And hello to our NSA friends now joining us. :)
  6. I've always needed a fan running near me to fall asleep. Just for the sound, not at me. I've worn out too many to count. Some I've kept going longer than I should have. Having to take the grill off and spin it manually to get it going. It's nice to see so many people that sleep as strangely as I do. :)
  7. "Starbucks coffee, it makes me have to shit!" That is some funny stuff. :)
  8. why not? playing in a band is somehow what makes music more interresting - you get to improve a lot more... That's actually why I originally did it. To keep my chops up and pay for the rehearsal space. I'd rather play in an original band and be able to express my self.
  9. I've played guitar, bass, and keys for about 21 yrs. Dabbled in drums. I never want to play in a cover band again.
  10. Man, for the forties, that had to be some risque stuff. Especially the ending. And not one bowl of potato salad to be seen.
  11. Oh man, she's gonna need therapy. :)
  12. Oh thank god i can hear it. That means 2 years next to an idiot bass player didnt wreck my ears. :)
  13. Need a side shot, but she looks good. Since were talking about Jenn. I've been on a Pure Pwnage marathon here at work, and was wondering. Is that her singing the "wow is a feeling" song in ep 6. Sure looks like her, the more i watch.
  14. woops forgot to login thats me above when have guests been able to post? I love how he equates sending 10 or 12 movies at a time with a whole book at a time. Although that's not as scary as the rest of his blathering. Yikes!
  15. I understand the monthly fees. It costs to run the servers. I don't like the full price box that is essentially useless without a subscription.It's just a front end to get on their severs. You may be able to argue that it's not full price since you get a free month, but I think it still should be cheaper than other stand alone games.
  16. Here's a link to a recording of the chat. PP chat It ends rather ubruptly, cause I guess they got hacked.
  17. Darren should come with an action motorcycle with noobseeking rockets. Wess with a cordless screwdriver and a giant modded DDR board.
  18. Don't even joke that, im still so very disillusioned that the hosts from Hometime don't know what they're doing. :) I checked it out when the Diggnation forums reported you guys did the Diggnation spoof.
  19. Mine was an Atari 400 with a whopping 16k of ram and a membrane keyboard. Oh the flat fingers from hours of typing. Didn't get a cassette recorder for it till a couple of months later. So when I was done with any basic programs, had to write them down and shutdown the box. :( Before that, I used to hang around the local Radio Shack and write little basic programs that displayed info about the computer, so they wouldn't kick me out. TRS-DOS FTW
  20. Back in the 80's I was djg or Sysop*Dan when I ran my BBS. When I got into online PC gaming I was MiniMe. Cause it was a little me, especially in that Half life DM map of the giant kitchen. :) Then I was Thirdfret. Guitar player, obviously. :) And now I'm Atari6502, for my love of the original Atari 8-bit computers, which used the MOS 6502 Microprocessor. Oddly i've never owned a 2600. Started with the 400.
  21. Yeah, that first one was really inventive. The second looked like Wess doin his crazy legs in WoW. :)
  22. Wow, I thought i was strange with my sleep pattern, but almost everyone has just about the same. 6am - 2 pm usually Because I work 3rd shift, 4pm till midnight.
