R29/gb Adsl! :)

What! He used 6Gb is 2.5 days doing what.Mmmmmm k it is possible watching online TV or streaming Audio/Video.

 

he must have been streaming something or that is down loads,,, would do a netstat on pc to see what is running in back ground to make sure no virus or trojans... would look for programs like u torrent or bit torrent or grabbit (download programs)

 

His game update was 2.5Gb on it's own

 

ok lol ...

 

Yip it was mainly game updates and patches etc. No movies and no watching online videos or TV - He is a game fanatic! And he was in seventh heaven

 

Veegal small price to pay to have a happy and safe kid

 

what game has a 2.5 gig update? WOW or that buggy crappy new Scared2?

i know sacred2's first "update" or actually prerelease pack that came too late, was 1.2gig

 

I totally agree with you Donny - he has actually not given me a day's hassle, although I'm not sure whether this is just the silence before the storm

Ferryman he says it was the Age of Conan patch.

 

checking the game site now, is it any good?
gfx seems in line with oblivion from the quick peek at the trailer, probably an online game, sigh, i only do offlines

cant wait for diablo3 though...

probably not the silence before, gaming is the storm.

 

Yip as far as I know it is an online game - I remember freakin' out at the fact that they charge you an arm and a leg for the game, then expect you to download a 2gig patch and then you still have to play the darn thing online as well! But apparently it's really good.

Well if gaming is the storm then I'm all for gaming!!!! Go gamers!

 

And here is where we disagree - I think I have played a total of about 20 min of PC, Playstation games in my 30 years of IT. I cannot see the point of computer games.

I have played DIGGER on a CRAY II - but that was just so I can say I have done it

 

lol every one has the different poisons to entertain ones self some like games others cars others bikes ... but a for kid rather games than drugs and every else that goes with that .. i have a PS 1 and PS 2 that my younger brother has and it keeps him entertained and out of trouble ... me again i buy the stuff use it for a month then back it away .. got a Wii and yet to plug it in ....

 

i only play games during the july and desember holidays, and then usually only the offline puzzle solving types where you look about, ask, interrogate, quest and solve, like the gabriel knight series, the dig, full throttle, those text based type jobbies, etc, only for diablo i really rather like the whole hack'n'slash rpg genre though

rather liked oblivion and assassin's creed types as well.

Gavin, my IT buddy has the exact same view you have, i think its cause you guys are gatvol with the pc in work time, you don't wanna play it in leisure time, he also says its a waste of time, lol. oh well, i loved to read, but ever since burying my nose in the law books studies etc i cant bring myself to read a good book anymore, i just cant take the time for it anymore...

 

Ferryman there is ALWAYS time to read a good book! Now Gavin's idea of good bedtime reading is one of those huge text books - go figure??

 

busy reading war and peace 1700 pages lol then the symbol by dan brown

 

lol, you schlep through a monotonous super boring civil procedure, or third party claims textbook, and suddenly your view of books is tainted

i cant concentrate when i pic up a book anymore, i just wanna put it down and go do something else, thats where my bonsai/plant and now tank addiction comes in

 

According to girlfriend i need some culture so war and peace was thrown at me LOL ... need to read to fall asleep ...

 

ive always wanted to read that, curious i guess, that and crime and punishment i think...

 

Tolstoy is really boring - and I really don't know where the culture side of it comes from.. If you really want to be bored try Dostoyevsky - The brothers Karamazov...

The "Classics" as they call them are really not that classic at all. I mean Dickens - WTF, other than a brief reference to spontaneous Human Combustion - It's all drivel

Now Persian Poetry - The Rubiayat - that can get the mind going - as well as anything on Free Energy

 

is there anyone who offers a nomaintenance, nothing to install, no monthly bill, prepaid broadband solution. I dont want to install an adsl line, cant afford maintenance, i just want cheap internet with a wireless access point? Anyone have advice?
