Ive had DSL for 3 years now.

What are you talking about?

Obviously you never read Fahrenheit 451. It predicted that if you didnt have a satelite dish on your house the Fire department was orderd to burn down houses of backward people who would not comply with society.
Well Done GR you ruined my joke! :bang:
I hope your pleased!

... Farenheight 451 is about having books, not not having satellite dishes... though not having one (or cable) might be a sign you have books, so they might want to check you out anyway...

Yet more evidence that a joke just isn't funny if you have to explain it.

That was one reason, But when I said satelites its because in the book the goverment doesnt want to destroy information,Just Info that threatends them and promotes free thinking thats why you need a satelite so you can hear their propaganda, If you dont equip yourself with the goverments communication links like everyone else, They will assume your a rebel and yes reads books they dont want you to read since Books are a sign of free thought.
By the way having 56k is like still having black and white television.

WINAMP HAS INTERNET TV WITH SUBBED ANIME!!! I think...I may cry...
19th July 2004, 2:21 PM
Oh man...I remember the first two days after I got DSL. I must have downloaded 300 songs and ...many movies with Kazaa. Man did I ever get a lot of viruses.
20th July 2004, 7:48 AM
Heh... I think I've only gotten one virus before, and Norton found it...
20th July 2004, 10:11 AM
Mostly I just get spyware, I don't get viruses very often.

I've downloaded 5 things in about 28 hours. The second Inuyasha movie, The first episode of Hellsing, the opening and closing of Hellsing, and the BW version of Night of the Living Dead.

Only once have I downloaded a full movie. It was Clerks, and I only watched about ten minutes of it before I closed it and deleted the file, and then bought it on DVD. It's too hard to watch movies on a computer. I'm always pausing it to talk on MSN and surf the web. And I was talking about fifty-second clips, not full movies. And it's hard to have restraint when you can click on a song to download and in less than a minute it's already done! It was a whole new world compared to the 28k days.
20th July 2004, 12:19 PM
I didn't start downloading a lot immediately, but getting cable did eventually lead to a much larger games collection... music? A few years later. Anime... that I started getting my second year of college. Of course then I quickly got lots of all of those and filled my new 80gb hdd within two months of getting it... :D
20th July 2004, 12:34 PM
Well one thing holding me back is my HD is only 20 gig and even on 56k I managed to fill 95% of it (Took 3 years to do it tho) Trying to move the unnecessary stuff to CDR.
20th July 2004, 12:40 PM
A few months after I got DSL I had to get my computer re-formatted. It crashed and burned bad. All the music and movies and programs that I downloaded (including Photoshop and four different emulators which I never used once) combined with the virusues (virii?) that I got led to me losing everything. Since then I've slowed down significatly with downloading.
20th July 2004, 12:46 PM
20GB? I have 60GB of stuff installed that I actually own and many more gigs (of my family's many music CDs, which I'm planning on burning to my PC) that I haven't done yet...
Of course, no one really needs 8 or 9 gigs of game demos installed on their computer, but I have it anyway because I can. :)

I have my computer tied into my TV with S-Video cables. Thus, anytime I want to watch any movcie or TV show I downloaded, I just switch to TV mode, and there it is. It usually isn't perfect quality, but hey, the price is right.
20th July 2004, 6:08 PM
So your TV and computer are in the exact same spot? I wouldn't like that. I've also tried watching episodes of Family Guy on my computer (later I bought both volumes) but I still was pausing too often to talk on MSN...something about being that close to the screen makes it so I can't watch anything on it.
20th July 2004, 6:57 PM
No, my TV is about 6 or 7 feet away, on top of a dresser. It's along the same wall that my desk is on, though. It was a snap to stretch a little length of cable. I can also tie it into my stereo speakers at the same time, should I choose to.
20th July 2004, 8:25 PM
I have a TV-tuner built into my video card, so I can watch and record tv on my computer. It's basically like a cheap Tivo. It's not the best quality, but it's decent. But it comes with the crappiest video editing software ever, so my plans to record every Ducktales, Talespin, Darkwing, etc episode on DVD have so far been fruitless. I can't find any good software for free, and I'm cheap, broke, and unemployed.
I can play console games on here too, but there is a 1 second lag that makes it impossible to actually play.

I'd like to have a video card that could accept TV input.
I'm not sure what I'd do with it, but it would be cool. I could take game screenshots.
