Ima be gone a week, so I expect hii and Saransh to give some very good advice.

Bah... I feel like chop liver now. I'ma gonna go and crawl back into my shell and not post anymore

well this is awkward

so lets get this all straight. make a list of all the members who give the good advice stuff. give em some good ol' recognition!

nu wa rocks
cheesysoapopera
the slayer
iceguy (though i havent seen him around too much lately)
paranahjoe (judging from the uproar of anger )

i think thats it for the regulars in this forum. sorry if i didnt add someone, but i just made this in a hurry.

btw, what ever happened to the regular in the WinOS forum called sour? he (or she) was a regular as a guest for a while, and then just disappeared.

This is really confusing me. For the longest time, every night my internet connection would seem to drop for about 1-2 seconds. It was just long enough that it would kick me off MSN, IRC and xbox live. Web sites wouldnt load for about 2 seconds, then suddenly everything would go back to normal.

Friday I decided to start keeping track of what times it happened. First it was at 8:54pm, then saturday it was 8:47, and today it was 8:52.

I can not figure it out. I'm about to call my ISP and see what they say, but this is very strange how my connection drops for only a few seconds at almost the same time every day.

Check your router for any possible security leaks. What it sounds like with your description is that it could be possible that your ISP is failing over to a redundant switch (at least the connection anyways). Maybe around the time they do it, they might have some sort of automation when it happens.


Edit: lol... i dun care about recognition. I enjoy posting in here. I was just giving you shit

yeah i know, but i was just humoring you all

besides, it was a futile effort on my part to make conversation

Is there anything grammatically wrong in this sentence?

"Plants grow more quickly on constant exposure to music."

I think it should be "with constant exposure to music".

"more quickly" should be "quicker" and What The Slayer said too.

Woo hoo school's out finally.

Now to try and get a job to be able to build a new computer. :\

Grats... now get in line behind all the other people who got laid off from their work and looking for a job...

damn recession.

I know. Every place I've asked has said they aren't hiring. I figured this, but damn.

Guess I'll just save up my allowance for ever. At least I have a 360 so I can still play games. Windows is messed up and I have Ubuntu dual boot. Don't know if any of my games will work.

Why not provide some simple services.
Some examples are: babysitting, car washes, walking the neighbor's dogs, lawn-mowing, etc...
If you are good with your neighbors, I'm sure some of them won't mind paying you some money for those services. Easy way to make a little extra money.
Shit, if you lived near me, I would gladly pay you $10 to wash my car, and $25 to mow my lawn!!!!
I don't like washing my car, and I am too lazy to take it to a car wash. i'm one of those people that would appreciate home service (someone coming by and providing these simple services) instead of having to go and do these items elsewhere.

I mowed my next door neighbors lawn twice a month for about 5 years. They gave me between $20 and $30 each time. It only took about 30-45 minutes to do.

damn, took me a while to find this thread. slayer, any chance of making the next thread a sticky? speaking of which i think weve only got a few more pages.

anyway, has anyone noticed that this forum has declined in activity a little? or is it just me? either way, anyone got an idea of how to increase activity?

anyway, onto why im really here...in another thread i found out that AMD was releasing some 16 core processor for servers. no doubt it will becoe available for everyone else in the future, but this made me wonder, why would anyone ever need more than 4...or even 8 cores? doesnt it seem overkill for gamers? especially when the video card takes the grunt of it all.
