«Michael (foof) Maki» Is a dial-up fast enough to even do anything with? (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:32pm) «nate...» *nods* can still get a basic data feed. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» byt, Tiph. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «meh» see ya jaci! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «jaye» /me is on dial-up (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «nate...» bye, tiph!!! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «nate...» people actually use dialup if it's not an emergency? (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «nate...» wow. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «nate...» I think I'd stop eating before I lost my cable modem. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «jaye» ooh! i can go home! bye! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:34pm) «nate...» bye jaci! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:34pm) «jaye» what use would i have for cable? i only use my home machine every few days. for email and here. dasit (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:34pm) «nate...» even so....... (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:34pm) «nate...» I don't use mine for THAT much more... mp3's sometimes...... etc. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «nate...» of course, I couldn't use dialup.. I don't even have a land-line anymore. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «nate...» it's all cable modem and cell phone. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Yeah, after having DSL, I'd *never* go back to dialup. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «Misch» SAme here. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» although I may switch to cable after my year's contract with SBC is up. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «nate...» I'd never go back to dialup after having dsl... and I'd never go back to dsl after having cable modem. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «nate...» i think next I'll have to get fiber to my door. :) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:37pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» nate: Oh? Your performance is that much better with cable? (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «Erica: movin' to Ohio!!» *loves the cable modem* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «nate...» michael: definitely..... I never get below a megabit down... usually more like 1.5 (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «Erica: movin' to Ohio!!» *throttles slinky* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «nate...» it's t1 speed.. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «nate...» slightly better most of the time... (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:40pm) «Misch» Touchdown! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:40pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» NICE. Of course, I dunno how many geeks live in my building, so my performance may not be as good. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:40pm) «Misch» Bledsoe->Moulds (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «Misch» /me does a happy dance. 7-0 Buffalo. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «nate...» michael: no idea.... I mean, I'm in a pretty geeky town... and I don't know anyone who gets below a megabit... (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:42pm) «nate...» and there are only two nodes in northampton. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:42pm) «renita» okee... I'm off now (sorry to disapear earlier, my network connection got cut off :( (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:43pm) «nate...» bye reniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiita!!! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:43pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Nate: Wow. I'll definitely have to look into that option, then. I'd rather just pay my cable company, and eliminate my land-line altogether. I don't use the phone enough to justify *one*... (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:43pm) «nate...» *hugs* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:43pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» full-time line, let alone two. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:43pm) «nate...» michael: exactly.... I did away with my phone line about a year ago... and have never needed it. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:44pm) «nate...» My cell is always with me... so it's like the ultimate portable. :) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:44pm) «nate...» what's your option for cable modem, out of curiousity? (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:44pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» although there is the minor fact that cell reception in my apartment is *abyssmal* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:44pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» <koff>rcn<koff> (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «nate...» ew.... I'm sorry. :( (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «nate...» chicago BLOWS for rcn service.... (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «nate...» that was the worst purchase they ever made (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «nate...» 21st century... ick. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Heh. I dunno. I haven't had any problem with them for my cable, so maybe it'll be the same for cable-modem. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «nate...» you're lucky then. :) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «nate...» though we haven't completely taken that operation over. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «nate...» once we do... the modem side should be good. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» And I remain the only person I know who just plugged in his DSL equipment, and it was ready to go. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «nate...» well, if you DO go to cable modem, you know where to go for your own personal tech support and billing inquiries. *laughs* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:47pm) «nate...» we'll be taking over chicago modem support soon. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:47pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Everyone else i know sings night-long lyrical poems about spending hours on hold for tech-support. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:48pm) «nate...» exactly... it's still done out there... and is understaffed. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:48pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Oh? You work for RCN? (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:48pm) «nate...» yeah. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:48pm) «Misch» Could you imagine what we can do with a beowulf cluster of tech support people? (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:48pm) «nate...» our modem support runs 3 -4 minutes between calls on weekdays... so we're just WAITING for more call volume. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:49pm) «nate...» and our techs rock. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:49pm) «beth-pseudocanuck!» hi hi hi just sayin yo from montreal. hehehe. hi nitsa! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:49pm) «nate...» hi beth! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:49pm) «beth-pseudocanuck!» nitsa...je parle francais avec tt le monde. je suis trop contente! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:50pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Wow. I need to work with you people. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:50pm) «beth-pseudocanuck!» hi nate :) just checkin ye olde email (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:50pm) «beth-pseudocanuck!» OH GUESS WHAT I SAW TODAY! (sorry for the shouting. lol) i saw the PIZZA PIZZA! LOL! (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:51pm) «nate...» heh... yes yes.... :) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:51pm) «Misch» you saw a pizza pizza ;-) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:51pm) «nate...» exactly. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:51pm) «nate...» and, their pizza isn't very good anyway. *laughs* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «beth-pseudocanuck!» ok yes yes i know there are plenty (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» (and mostly, I need to not work at a law firm...they're like users^n) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «nate...» michael: if you're curious about anything... just drop me a line...... (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «nate...» I could probably find out more about how the service is in your building.... (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «beth-pseudocanuck!» but it was my first one--at least since i knew the significance. so i was/am happy. hush, y'all. :) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «nate...» run a few ping tests on your neighbors, etc. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «beth-pseudocanuck!» ok gotta jet...back for real sunday. ciao guys :) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:53pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Yeah...I was decidedly unmoved by Pizza Pizza Pizza at the con a couple of years back. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:53pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Nate: That would be *fabulous* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:53pm) «nate...» michael: I frum now. :) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:53pm) «nate...» and yeah, pizza pizza is kinda sub-dominos. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:53pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» A pizza joint has gotta walk a *long* mile to make a worse pizza than Domino's. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:54pm) «nate...» they don't have miles in canada... maybe that's why. ;) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:55pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Good point. What *is* a pizza in metric? (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:56pm) «nate...» well, when you take into account the whole exchange rate..... a large canadian pizza is probably, like, a ellios pizza bite. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:56pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Heh. I thought Prulie was gonna smack me the last time I asked her what 4:30pm is in metric. :-) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «nate...» /me laughs (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «nate...» I still don't understand why we don't all just use 24 hour clocks... *shakes head* (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:58pm) «nate...» the one thing the military does that's REALLY smart. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:58pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Yeah. 24 hour time used to really mess with my head until someone pointed out that you just subtract 12. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:58pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» One of those "duh" moments. :-) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:59pm) «nate...» see, all the payroll I do for my employees is in 24 hour time... so it's actually somewhat easier for me. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:59pm) «nate...» at least, it is now. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:59pm) «nate...» when someone says "it's 6..." and it's in the evening, I get all messed up. (Aug 9, 2002 @ 7:59pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» <koff>"get"?<koff> (Aug 9, 2002 @ 8:00pm) «nate...» hey now...... (Aug 9, 2002 @ 8:00pm) «nate...» ;) (Aug 9, 2002 @ 8:00pm) « Previous 100 entries | Next 100 entries »
