Come to think of it, I believe Jaguar or BMW, I forget which german car company made a hydrogen powered car using a modified combustion engine not unlike our gasoline combustion engines used now, so we may be pumping our cars with salt water soon! I'll be pissed if I see salt water go for more than $1.00 a gallon too.

Welcome to the server. I hope to see you on the battlefield (that is after my ISP fixes my crappy internet first! grrrrrr)

My bad, it isn't the first hop which is my gateway. I am using router/firewall which I have tried disconnecting just to see if it was the problem, and it isn't. I also have a wireless access point and I checked that too, but the only devices attached to it are authorized, I have it locked out to everything else. It is the hop right after that that is pinging +200ms, sometimes. To make troubleshooting worse, the pinging problem is intermittent and one second I am pinging normally, then the next it is out-of-whack. The only thing that is consistent is the throughput which is well below what it used to be. I used to get 8000 kbps download, and now most of the time, it is around 2000-2500 kbps which they say is normal. However when the pinging problem shows up, I have gotten as low as 350 kbps download. And it seems like the problems happen only after customer service hours so I can't call during the problem and prove it to them.

Ok I am about to vent here. Everyone knows that I don't have much time anymore to play games, and so when I do get a chance, I definitely take that opportunity to go shoot it up with my Armory buddies. So, normally my internet service is nice, I ping 30-50 to the armory servers. For the past 3 weeks, everything is +200ms plus ping, everywhere, Counter Strike servers, any servers! I called my ISP provider, and they can't find anything wrong! And to make everything worse, they say that everything is operating OK! They treat me like I don't know what I am doing, although I understand because not everyone knows about using simple tools like examining task manager, tracert, or dslreports for solving network problems. Everytime they asked me to run a check, I was one step ahead of them. For instance, they say "go to the start menu" and I say, and run tracert? I am pinging 200 on the first hop. Why can't they just believe me, send a technician to this area and just troubleshoot this problem! I am so mad, and I think I am going to call them every day now until this gets fixed!

I'd say stop smokin that reefer! J/k I had something like this happen once too. I think that I lagged out for a second and then it worked normally afterward.

I agree. Especially if they are standing there waiting for the gunship on titan, and accidently kill them right before the gunship spawns.

Here is a pic. Well now, everyone is sleeping so I am gonna get a little game time! /monthly_06_2011/post-1958-130810199997_thumb.jpg

My little baby girl was born on the 9th, and I have barely had any sleep since! She is adorable though. Her name is Kaylee and she was 5 lbs 12.5 ounces and 19" long. Well I gotta run, talk to ya guys soon.

Be careful there Phrogg. Wear your helmet and leathers all the time! Motorcycles are very fun, no speeding required!

Have a fun trip, and I expect a full report when you get back

Since the latest flavor of the month is starting high post count threads, now it is my turn to start one! This is called the word association thread. The associated word must be obvious and require no explaining. For instance, if I start with the word 'chili', appropriate associations would be words like 'pepper' or 'dog'. Here we go. Airplane
