Congrats Black Cat.

You suck loader.

I've been fighting ping issues for a very long time and today I think I finally found the cause. I have an HP printer with a built in wireless modem. Months ago I switched from AT&T DSL to cable and while it improved my ping it still wasn't great. My HP printer was always in the same room with my wireless router for the DSL, and when I got cable the router was in a different room. Yesterday I moved the printer into the same room as the cable modem and my ping immediately went up with lots of spikes. All I did was hard-wire the printer directly into the cable modem and turned off the wireless feature on the printer. It appears that the wireless signal from the printer was messing up the wireless signal from the cable modem and effecting our speed. The picture below shows what my signal looked like with the printer wireless on, and as you can see it levels off when I turned off the printer modem. Problem solved!

He was a fixture in my area for the last 10 years or so. Seems like he was always dropping in at some local music event and sitting in with bands. Cancer finally got him but he fought it to the end.

The US should force Apple headquarters out of the US and make them move to France. They're raising the corporate and wealthy tax rate over there to 100%. Gotta love those socialists. http://money.msn.com/now/post.aspx?post=aa8584e2-c576-4922-ada7-5eda6b598806

Thanks Boss!

I just heard that 20 of the dead were children in one school. What a tragedy for those parents, and some of those same families probably lost their homes too. That falls under the heading, "So you think you've got problems?".

For all of its pitfalls, I'm glad I live in northern California and don't have to deal with many bugs. The last time I played golf in Florida a dozen of us were chased off TPC by a swarm of biting yellow flies. In fact it seems every time I visit a southern state I get the shit bitten out of me. Other than the bugs, I love it down there.

It's also really important to look carefully at what you are downloading, even when it's a trusted update from Java, Adobe or Microsoft. Usually there are little check boxes asking if you would like product updates information, adding a tool bar or participating in online surveys. ALWAYS UNCHECK THOSE BOXES. My daughter came in and woke me up last night saying that her computer says that she has downloaded child porn and she needed to "click here" to remove it, which of course she did like a fucking idiot. Needless to say I spent the entire morning getting the virus off her computer. Her anti-virus software expired about a month ago and she didn't bother to tell me. There are tons of crooks out there that will do anything to separate you from your hard earned money. Kids (and some adults) really don't have a clue what is real and what is a scam on their PC's.

Yeah I noticed it was working this morning so I guess whatever the hangup was has been fixed. Thanks for your time Rugger.

That's fine Rugger, but we did vote for a new map and it started to load, then switched to Toujane while it was loading the map we voted for. Eraplace won the vote and the screen popped up for eraplace, and while it was loading it suddenly changed to Toujane. The same thing happened when I went into HLSW and manually changed to another map, then half way through it switched back to Toujane. I noticed on the Gamer Servers screen where you reset the server the following message was posted which may or may not be related to our problem. TS3 Bug - Causing disruptions Last Update: May 07 10:44 EDT There is a TS3 bug that allows a relatively small amount of targeted traffic to cause a serious disruption on TS3 services. A patch is in the works by the TS3 team. We are hopeful the patch will be released this week. Until that time, we will work to filter out any malicious traffic to keep services running as smoothly as possible. We thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Not sure what the hell is going on but the TDM server on COD2 seems to be stuck on Toujane. Even when I go into HLSW and manually change to another map, and even when the vote is for another map, Toujane keeps coming up. I can occasionally get a different one to play but after that map is finished Toujane returns. I even went in and reset the server and it came up again after the reset was complete. I love that map but not over and over again. So much for Saturday night TDM.

We need some team games going tonight. Anybody interested? DM is getting boring..........

Alright, who the FUCK has been hacking my web cam again?

That's great news! Keep kicking ass LOC.......

Are you implying something about Pete's taste in women????? I believe Pete's wife is very attractive, but it's those frequent out of town massage parlor visits with homeless street walkers that make me question his tastes.

The other side of the story is that the daughter and son-in-law are upset over visitation rights for their severely autistic brother. I can't for the life of me understand how a 91 year old man can keep a woman from visiting her brother, but that's what the family feud is about. As payback the daughter signed the house into her name (which was illegal) but it wasn't noticed until after the statute of limitations had expired, and now she's evicting her father out of his own home. The grand daughter did some on-line fund raising and managed to get enough to buy the house, but out of spite the daughter may refuse to sell it to him. Either way, it sounds like a cluster-fuck and I'm glad I don't have family members willing to pull shit like this. http://www.nbc4i.com/story/22027812/wwii-veteran-about-to-be-evicted-by-daughter-son-in-law

Good thing for that driver this was in Venezuela. Had it been in the US he would be up on muder charges for violating that poor car-jacker's civil rights.

Bama is right. A few weeks ago I did a Google search for a keyless remote for a car. Now damn near every web site I visit there is an ad somewhere on the page for auto parts. It's either malware or Google dumps a cookie on your PC.

Happy birthday Laz. Make it one to remember.

Just in case you were wondering what this steaming pile of dog shit looks like, this is from her Facebook page. I'm sure everybody (with maybe the exception of Pete) will find her completely repulsive.

Congratulations! Now you have anatomy class to look forward to. Memorizing every bone and muscle in the body sucks.

Pfffttt.....I'd have it topped with ice cream and whipped cream.

Many say that laughter is the best medicine. So I figured that LOC, you can relate to this better than any other member of XI.

I want to make a correction to a post that I made previously. LOC, you look A LOT better than Joe. Carry on........
