I really need a new router.

Why? Can't it stay connected?

Also, try out Foobar and Pidgin, they're neat programs.

That, and I'm synced at 900Kbit on an 8Mbit plan.

A website that, uh, indexes Usenet releases of Linux ISOs. That black rectangle is totally there by accident.

I recommend the TP-LINK TD-W8960N
Click to expand...

I'll look into that. I'm currently set on the Billion 7800N since it has Wireless-N (which I don't particularly need, but it'd be nice to have) and utilises the Broadcom ADSL2+ chipset which is known to be friendlier to longer lines (my line length is around 3.5KM).

Edit: The aforementioned TP-Link router also sports the Broadband chipset, apparently, and it's ~$80 cheaper. I think we have a winner!

I use the Billion 7300RA which is a vanilla modem/router with an identical line length. I am on Naked ADSL2+ (which should have superior sync speed) and consistently get 500KB/s out of it. It's in bridge mode, so I can't see the sync speed, but that works out to be about 4Mbit. That's about as good as it's going to get at 3.5KM.

Yep the TP-Link is N and uses the Broadcom chip, did a lot of research before I bought it :)

Never had a single drop out with this modem when the previous d-link I had would drop out every few hours.

Guys I somehow managed to not watch Good Game tonight, but I am looking for the awkward looking screencaps!

As for the whole Team Bondi email thing, it's amazing how some people outside the games industry view that game. I've had conversations where people think it's FANTASTIC that the game's taken so long to make because it showed real artistic commitment...yikes.

PS: Vook you are awesome <3

Nice. Despite my line length, I've reached sync speeds of over 7Mbit. I'm most certainly not connected to a RIM or anything (I live in an old(er) town and have never seen a RIM in all my years here), so I think the copper used for my line is of a heavier gauge. When I first signed up for 8Mbit ADSL back in 2006 I was expecting pretty much the same speeds you're getting. It was a nice surprise, to say the least!

I've done some reading after seeing the chipsets mentioned here and it seems I can indeed do better. Time to do some research. If I can get my setup faster, I'm all for it.

Aren't you in Mission Impossible IV, Serrels? Is Tom Cruise really a gay midget? Allegedly?

They repeated your Top gear with Nick Frost last night, etc.
etc,

And now I'm going to sleep

PS- you look like Simon Pegg in that pic. A lot. Maybe you should take over from Pegg in the next Star Trek movie. You'd get the accent right.

If it wasn't for my vow never to watch good game again, I'd iView it now

Now, where was that warm bed of mine?

I've actually been reading some threads over there about this. I don't need wireless as I run my own semi-homemade wireless router, I just want a straight up modem only or at worst a modem with a 4 port switch.

Looks like I may be looking at a TP-Link TD-8840 to do the job. Much more reading to be done.

Melee in Two Worlds II is as broken as everybody says.

And my block doesn't seem to be working. Sonofabitch.

Game is pretty, though.

Looks like the action bundle orders on Zavvi are being cancelled according to OzBargain. You'll get a 10% off voucher though.

Can you pm me where you got it or ordered from? I can't find it at any of my local stores.

So I just bought a Kinect cause it was $99 at GAME... lol, any suggestions? I picked up Dance Central and Child of Eden with it too...

What else is there?

Saw Transformers 3 today. It was alright, best of the trilogy probably. Didn't lack action like the first movie and the transformers were actually identifiable this time unlike the 2nd movie. Also unlike the 2nd movie is that humans are the ones getting owned instead of humans doing most of the owning.

Anyone wanting to sell a PS3 for some reason?
Click to expand...

I've actually been tempted to sell my 60GB PS3.

But I'm struggling to let go. The thing still works, and has been packed away for 2 and a half years. So it's still running very old firmware.

I don't use it anymore for fear of it breaking, and I bought an 80GB Killzone 2 bundle back when it released to replace it, but it's just sitting upstairs packed away.

Hrmm, nothing too interesting in the steam sales today... maybe just pickup the missing DLC for CivV.

Really? Today was the first day I actually went nuts on stuff that I was never really interested in. Call of Pripyat, AI Wars, Wings of Fury and the King Arthur collection. Pripyat and KA were both discussed on Idle Thumbs a while back, both AI and Wings of Fury received a high Metacritic rating.

I really, really didn't like it. Most of the scenes went on for far too long or were completely unnecessary (how long does it take for a fucking building to collapse?!?), the best actors had the smallest roles (John Malkovich, Francis McDormand, Ken Jeong, Alan Tudyk) and the "dramatic" bits were far too corny. Obligatory T&A shots were far too out of place, too. Oh, and the licensed soundtrack was far too cliche emo. Linkin Park? Really?!?

One more thing: TWO AND A HALF FUCKING HOURS?!?

Everyone get Beat Hazard and the DLC so we can play co-op!

Also, is King Arthur any good? What kind of game is it?

Edit: Removed a :lol. Must have accidentally pressed it.

Every word sounds like Mark. Every... fucking. Word.

Not to mention the million different ways people use the word Mark.

"Oh, there's a MARK on my trousers."

"I got a good MARK on my exams."

MARK MARK MARK MARK.

MARK.

MARK.
