chenGOD Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 psssh chengod my parents have 2mb internet i am going through torrenting withdrawal am not used to taking a full 15 minutes to get a whole album!!! I came from Korea where I had a 100Mb connection for 20 bucks a month. Came back to Canada to a shitty 1Mb connection. Upgraded to a 7Mb connection, which never came close to hitting that download speed. Now am supposedly on a 50Mb connection - last speed test gave me 1.5Mb average download speed - and that's at the ISP's own speed test!

Your download speed is 2.34 MB/s (2397 KB/s). we're sposed to be 100 Mbps. But whatever.

Guest umop_apisdn Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I found something yesterday that, to my knowledge, has only once been seen before...around 40 years ago. And I can't share it with the world because doing so would potentially ruin my PhD research. Replicated cold fusion... while trying to disprove it? This is intriguing, is it something that goes against what you are researching, or is it something personal about somebody you work with maybe? Damn! I thought there was no way anyone would possibly figure it out! What I found is not the problem, per se. The problem would be announcing my find to the world.

chenGOD Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 oh canada. Blame canada. Additionally, I am without headphones/earbuds for my iPod and can't afford new ones. They all break on the jack - wires are so goddamn flimsy. Now I'll to suffer on the bus listening to the peasant scum discuss their day-to-day dealings.

chenGOD Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I've gone through two pairs of sony earbuds, and one pair of klipsch. The standard iPod earbuds don't stay in my ear very well. I'm holding out until I can aford some proper headphones in the hopes that their cord might be a bit stronger. I would use my AKGs, but of course the right headphone doesn't work and anyways they're semi-open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 When you plug in an iPhone to charge is does exactly the same double vibration that it does when you get a text message. Would it be so hard to make a slightly different vibration pattern to help distinguish FOR FUCKS SAKE!<£<"!E£4r3rf4g If I plug it in on the highspeed trains that have plugs nowadays the electricity goes off every time the train stops at a station, and then the phone buzzes when it starts moving again and I think I have a message.... life is paaaiiinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mine I can type in number values to make whatever vibrate pattern I want. Kinda like this: (on, off, on, off) 512, 512, 256, 256 for a long buzz then a shorter one, I could make a pretty cool rhythm with it if I wasn't so lazy.
