I experienced virgin media broadband when I moved into my new flatshare. Get home from work, maybe watch an episode of top gear on iplayer and then the internet connection flatlines thru throttling. All games were unplayable online, bfbc2, left4dead2, world of tanks, you name it. Needless to say I promptly took over the house internets, set up with a sky broadband package and never looked back. Everything worked lovely. Sounds like im bigging up sky here but their broadband policy regarding throttling / traffic shaping is very good.
TLDR : Virgin Media are fekking awful, use a different ISP.
Gimp icon cos I like gimps.
There I was half way though a very enjoyable self abuse session at work and the porn blocker came on. This made me very angry so I rang up the O2 man, he was very nice though and let me finish myself off while he stayed on the phone.. (And If u dont have a credit card it takes 2 bloody days to get your mobile smut back!)
Hahaha I saw this vid the other day and *&^% me its scary just to watch. I like the bit at the end where he is at the very top and not even holding on. Mental, and makes me feel a bit sick.
Question: For £1000000 cash would you climb it? I think most people would be crying like a baby by the time they got halfway hehe.
Ninjas can walk on water
Jesus "the fictional character from that kids book" could walk on water
ergo jesus was a ninja
As we all know steve j is also jesus, he is definitely a ninja as jesus was a ninja!
Case Closed!
Crikey I think I may have hurt my brain trying to think that one through.
hehe i may have done a bit of generalising there and the specs are a bit different but still I couldnt believe the cost difference between a cheap laptop and a slighly better specced mac. Tis Huge!! I stay away from macs cos I like my games but im all for choosing the right tool for the job whether its a mac or pc but OMG macs are pricey! And isnt the OS based on a flavour of unix/linux? So shouldnt it be free? Could be completely wrong here but im sure that the mac os was developed from opensource..
Beer again, cos its nice :)
Did some price checking the other day for a mate who wanted a laptop. Nothing fancy, just for interwebbing etc. For £400 I found him a 2.5ghz dual core, with 4gb ram and 500 gb hdd. (From ebuyer i think) MacBook Pro at a similar spec was pushing £1700. Yeah the mac is pretty with a slightly quicker cpu but who on earth would spend £1000 more for almost the same spec but in a shiny case.
Beer cos its friday and soon I will be drowning in the stuff :)
So looks like Phorm are dying here then, thank god for that!! Ahahahahahahah.
Oh and couldnt ignore comment from Ihre Papiere Bitte!!, I was with talktalk for 2 years. Worst customer service ever, so bad its almost funny, they do throttle and they are generally $hite, I would love to see them go the way of Phorm. Die Phorm and Die Talktalk.
Beer, cos I like beer, a lot...
Why dont the UK just adopt the aussie style of immigration law. If you aint rich, smart, qualified, or can do a skill we need then sodoff we dont want ya. A boat load of illigals tries to dock, sod off away from our waters (plus escort from boat with big guns). If you come here to sponge off the state and not integrate into our society, we dont want ya! Instead over here the government lets in rapists, terrorists, lowlifes, chavs, etc etc. All the undesirables. I can kinda see why the BNP has such a prob with immigration. Obviously they go waaay to far with their crackpot policies but they are voicing concerns a lot of "normal" people have. Who to vote for anyway, they are all as bad as each other when it comes down to it. From the classic film brewsters millions, ill vote for "none of the above!".
Byebye sarah cronner cronicles, the ending of series 2 really made me wanna see the next series!
And I especially liked the foxy terminator (summer glau), she could throw me around any day ;)
The movie should be cool, but by making it a 12A its gonna be like the 1st AvP film - Pants.
Lets try and scupper this rubbish law by getting all our local pubs in on the act, surely if enough pubs do this they wont be able to enforce this rubbish law! And before the anti-smoking brigade jump in on this as long as we have our own room and people have a choice to sit in smoking or non smoking there should be no problem. Its our choice if we want to smoke same as its yours not to. Each to their own! Lets get this rolled out nationwide!!
@ Chris C - After speaking to my 18 year old cousin the other day I have decided that yeah, they are all that stupid!!
@ Tony72 - Brilliant idea mate, when you start production keep me in mind as the "oil boy", cheers
Alternately you could just show em pics of skanky STD's (you know, when they look terminal, and they probly are lol), scare em into wearing em!
I got the game on saturday and have had no problems, issues like this are typical of EA though. Presumeably because they choose a launch date and thats it, the poor programmers are trying to play catchup, hence the 1gb patches etc that you can expect for any ea game after release. What really gets my goat is when purchasing through the EA downloader you have a limited time to use the download then it expires. Or you can buy an extended service for £2 and have the right to download the game for 2 years... Hang on didnt I just buy the game??!!!!! I should have rights forever. You cant even burn the download to disc as it bins out with serial number issues. V annoyed.....
For now, encrypt your torrents (azurus is good), install the vidalia bundle and you are as secure as you can be.
And there is an alternate on the horizon goin by the name .p2p : http://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-sees-a-future-without-bittorrent-071030/
And for now you can use newsleecher that is pretty hard to track too.
Ok so the bacteria eats plastic which is made from oil, right? Now im not saying that this is a bad inverntion but... What is to stop this bacteria speading, reproducing and going for all plastics and perhaps even developing a taste for our dwindiling oil reserves? Im not a scientist type but I imagine the boffins would want to tinker with something like this. Is this possible or should I just go put my tinfoil hat back on?
