Does your internet connection suck lately? Here's why! First of all this particular site blows ass for a month now and it's very irritating. Secondly, and more bothersome is the fact that any Google searches I do take about 10-15 seconds to occur no matter which PC i'm on. That has been happening about a month also. Quoting: ****SUPERFLY**** I've noticed that when I go on my homepage (msn) my email account says "loading" ... and is sometimes not available for awhile. Never had this happen before. Been going on for a couple of months I think. Internet has been slow the last few days. Not having access to the internet would be like having my eyes plucked out!! But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. I Corinthians 2:14 God doesn't choose favorites.. They choose HIM It is not the greatness of my faith that moves mountains but my faith in the greatness of God |

I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

My brother works for a major telecomunications corp and they have been fighting these guys for quite awhile on behalf of their clients. Whole IP range blocks have been and are still necessary. I wish I could say more but I can't. The poster above who mentioned the kill switch is spot on, but the switch isn't in the hands you may think it is. Quoting: snark Who Snark? Serious question. |

Quoting: ExoPoliChick I just figured it was my ancient computer not being able to handle all the flashy websites. Glad, in a way, to hear that the problem wasn't on my end, but not so glad to hear that the painfully slow loading of pages may become yet another 'new norm'. |

Some of the stores I have gone into lately have told me there computers r down and they can only do cash sales - happens more then what I would think is normal.

I always take cash now, just in case. |

It's still fast enough to download torrents of FLAC files at a reasonable speed though. Converting my collection to lossless and not going to repay for content.

Does your internet connection suck lately? Here's why! [link to tronweb.super-nova.co.jp] Quoting: A new view of the Internet articleSimply put, the Internet now represents to me a form of primitive telepathy, telepathy based on circuitry, to be exact. Undoubtedly because he deals with the nuts and bolts issues of building networks on a daily basis, and thus has little time for actually gathering heretofore unobtainable information from the Internet, he was unable to understand what I was trying to say. For that reason, I decided not to get into what led me to this new view of the Internet, but actually it could be called the mother of all "conspiracy theories," i.e., that people many thousands of years ago were telepathic, and that human language was created to divide and conquer the human race. I have absolutely no idea if this theory--well, actually a hypothesis or a contention--is true, but it led me to start thinking about what human life would be like if we didn't have to actually verbalize our thoughts and translate them across the arbitrary barriers we call "natural languages." |
