    Sp2

    I myself am not having any problems. Some of my friends were. Halo wasn't working on my friends computer and such and it was funny because that is published by microsoft games so you would think they would be able to make it without conflicting with their own game. Turned out, there was some incompatibilty issue and my friend had to download the latest update of the game for SP2.

  2. Fire Alarms

    in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion

    Posted

    During school today somebody pulled the fire alarm. It was about 2 minutes after the bell rang for lunch that the fire alarm started to go off. It was rather anoying because of the sound and the strobe lights. It went on for a couple minutes and the staff turned it off. Then it went off again about 2 minutes after they turned it off. So they turned it off again only to have it turn back on a third time. Eventually they got it off, but even the stobe lights were still on for a while after that. It was rather anoying but nobody payed any attention to the fire alarm and we would rather be burned to death before we would give up our lunch. So that is my interesting story for today. Anybody else have an interesting story?

    I got Sp2 a while ago. The only thing that i have noticed is more problems. I mean, this thing is really anoying. First of all there are some applications that don't want to work with it and other applications turned on as if they had just turned on for the first time. The service pack has gotten really anoying and has just made more problems then it has solved. The thing that ticks me off the most though is that it limits the number of simultaneous connections that any one computer can have. Now there can only be 10 connections that your computer can have at any given time. This means that none of my P2P programs are working anymore and it also means that my internet in general is slower. I am really hating it. As a result. I have made a little image. It shows you what you do you if you want to fix Windows.

    I use IE too because everything seems to be designed for IE and Netscape. Though it works on the other browsers too, I don't see the reason to switch. I have Mozilla on linux and i think that IE is better.

    Download Accelerator, Worth It?

    I have had some and they really don't make that much of an improvement for me. Then again I have a 3 megabit (350KB per second) cable modem connection so i wouldn't really notice much of a difference if it was 20-60KB per second faster. Usually the download speed is slower than 350KB per second as a result of the server that i am downloading from is heavy with traffic. Then again, there was that one time when i downloaded linux and it was 3 files that were a total of 1800MB. It took me 2 and a half to three hours to download because nobody was using the server. :lol:

    Being Good At Fixing Computers And What Have You

    I had to update my BIOS when i got my Soundblaster Audigy 2 card because the computer would crash and then you would hear this loud high pitched squeal like my computer was screaming. The point being that i got a special BIOS fix that was just for the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 cards. Takes about 10 seconds to install a new BIOS once you have it on a boot disk.

    Xtreme Music On The Internet

    There are many sites on the internet that broadcast live radio over the internet to peoples' computers. All the people on the computers have to do is get a internet connection and use a media player like Windows Media Player or Winamp. Download the file above, open the .zip file and then open the .m3u file with Windows Media Player or Winamp. I would recommend winamp. Get it free here:

    Download the file that i posted originaly for some internet radio stations with xtreme music.

    So Bobby aka CheeZy was showing me some of his xtreme music playlists for some internet radio stations and since then i have been sharing them with people on MSN Messenger, but i thought it would be cool if we all shared them here.

    Here are some extreme online radio stations with hardcore techno and all that other good stuff. Even if you don't listen to techno, i suggest you download and listen. Bobby has made many believers and i have been making many lately too. :P

    Download this file and open it with Winamp or Windows Media Player.

    File = 768 bytes

    Music Profanity = 1 No Profanity (Scale of 1-10. 10 being the worst with non-stop cursing)

    I highly recommend Winamp. Get Winamp here:

  20. Did You Ever Learn To Swim?

    in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion

    Posted

    I have been swimming since i was like 4. I have taken more swimming lessons then i can possibly count and have even been able to use my xtreme swimming abilities to get out of a rip current once. My friend and I were caught in a rip current and we totally out did it after about 8 minutes of non-stop fighting (My friend takes junior lifeguard and is in water polo, just to let you know). The girls next to us had to be rescued by the lifeguard. Yes, it was a rip current because i have felt tons of currents but nothing came close to that one. It was really powerful. One of the reasons i swam so much and still do is because my mom can't swim and therefore forced me to go into the water when i was young so that i wouldn't have a fear of the water like she does. My favorite place to swim though would be like Hawaii. My dad and i totally free-dived like 30-40 feet in crystal clear water and got like 4 feet from a sea turtle. I even went all out and chased a white tip reef shark to get a pic. I was like 6-8 feet from it. It was xtreme. :P

    Msn Messenger Plus Soundpacks

    Posted

    I was installing all the different sound plugins for MSN Messenger Plus when i realized how long and time consuming it was. It would also not work if the people that you are talking to don't have the plugins. So i put together an installer that does it all for you and adds quite a few soundpacks. I hope that you guys will take a look at it.

    Here is a the link. Copy and paste the link in your browser. Direct links don't work for angelfire. (5.66MB)

    Thanks guys. If the link doens't work on account that all my bandwidth has been used up, come back in a little while and it should work.

    Processes

    I am running 29 on boot up. That would make me the winner. I can sometimes have three taskbars full of windows when i don't feel like closing them. Then when i have about 80 windows in the taskbar, i close them all except like three. If i am going to play a game, then i close everything and even end processes in task manager which is the most fun.
