Matt Young Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 We have 1 phone line here at my parents' house where I am currently at. I signed off AOL dial up so that my sister could use the one and only phone line, but I am still able to chat on AIM while she's on the phone. I am also obviously able to use IE, and it's as fast as cable! We have no cabel modem of any sort. This makes no sense, but it's wild.
Matt Young Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Posted November 25, 2004 Come on, Inc. Fess up. You slipped some 'cid in my Diet Cherry Coke, didn't you! This is seriously fucking with my head. I am already delirious from sleep deprivation, and no one here can figure out what's going on. This should theoretically be impossible.
Boner Kawanger Posted November 26, 2004 Report Posted November 26, 2004 That's happened to me before. Main difference? I didn't piss in my pants when it did. Were you directly connected with someone? That seems to be the cause for me. That or a ghost.
Matt Young Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Posted November 26, 2004 I was directly connected the first time, but i'm doing it now and am not connected. I'm pissing my pants in excitement because of the fact that my 56k is now working like broadband, and I'm used to ridiculously slow computers. For example, I couldn't get insidepulse.com to load at all before even after 10 minutes of waiting, and now it takes 5 seconds.
Kaertos Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Sounds like you are running DSL. Doesn't make any sense, and you usually need a special modem and a network card, but heck... don;t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Dr. Tom Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 A shame you're wasting a fast connection on stains like Insidepulse.com, though.
Slayer Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 A shame you're wasting a fast connection on stains like Insidepulse.com Or thesmartmarks.com
bob_barron Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Yes. They just posted my Best of Walken review. ::cheap plug::
Matt Young Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Posted November 30, 2004 411 is good now only for some wrestling news and Evocator Manes' columns, plus maybe a few other choice columns that pop up every once in a while. The Scott Keith rants, music section, video game section, and comic section- the main reasons I went there- are all gone. Insidepulse is where it's at now.
Mole Posted December 1, 2004 Report Posted December 1, 2004 This is only a tease because I am sure it won't last long.
Matt Young Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Posted December 1, 2004 This is only a tease because I am sure it won't last long. It's been 6 days and it's still been going 24/7.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 Maybe your parents got DSL and didn't tell you. Look around the cpu to see if there's any new equipment.
Matt Young Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Posted December 2, 2004 I've thought of that when the thing started. I even mentioned it to the them. No, nothing's changed.
