Looking at monkeys could take the anger off your mind....JacksonCougar wrote:So basically I have a shitty network which I hate. I have a primary Linksys router which is your classic, O-ma-god you-suck WRT54G. That router then cascades onto another Linksys router: this time a BEFSX41, which is an O-ma-god—kill it, kill it with fire—piece of crap which I hate from the depths of my being.
So what happens is my secondary router—kill it with fire!—likes to simply stop all connection whenever uTorrent is running for a length of time, or just randomly for shits and giggles when I am trying to post a reply on remnant, or watch a streaming video. This is most frustrating—but it gets better! The primary router, being the P.o.S that it is, loves to also drop connections from time to time.
So when the hateful secondary router is working fine, the primary router fucks with me.
I am going to buy a new router soon, and smash the fuck out of this BEFSX41 model.
Also I am going to the Zoo.

Re: The Official Rant Thread
Jackson, since you're getting a new router soon anyway, maybe you could try sticking a bunch of heatsinks on the WRT54G. Mine runs hot and it would lock up when the chips got too hot.
As for the other router you may have too much overhead in utorrent... I used to set my max connections to over 1000. I did get more peers and my download speeds went up a little, but my entire network would come to a halt and the only thing that worked was utorrent and a few messaging apps. Now I have the maximum connections set to 40-30-10. I still get decent download speeds it just takes an extra 5 minutes to connect to decent peers.

I hacked my $30 Asus router with DD-WRT and it does my bidding now. I'm pretty happy with it, you should look into some sort of hackable router so you don't have to deal with shitty firmware.

Windows 7 restarted my computer while I was sleeping again and I lost yet another .psd for the website I was working on. Finally changed that setting.

Apparently when I got my brake pads and rear rotors replaced in my car last year, they didn't put a new rotor on my left tire... Someone's gonna have a long hard weekend if they don't hand me a new one.
This rotor also has a screw missing. No wonder they rattle when I try braking at 130mph+.

Was playing dead rising. Got fed up with the fucking survivors and smashed my 360 s controller on the ground. It's fucking annihilated. Now I need to get $60 to go get a new one.

Where do you shop where controllers are $60? I can get wireless with battery and play n' charge for $40.Grimdoomer wrote:Was playing dead rising. Got fed up with the fucking survivors and smashed my 360 s controller on the ground. It's fucking annihilated. Now I need to get $60 to go get a new one.

I want the new wireless controllers. They are really nice, chrome guide button, sleak spacer, and you can go so much battery, life out of it. My old wireless controllers got at most, 6 hours on a new set of batterys. The new one I had was around 18+ before I smashed it.DemonicSandwich wrote:Where do you shop where controllers are $60?

Re: The Official Rant Thread
Playing Red Dead Redemtion last night, great game.
Suddenly, the screen switched to EGA mode I think. Looks like about 16 colors
Well, I guess it's not that funny, but this is my first xbox still, so I can't complain as much as those who've been through 5+ 360s. Maybe this is a sign telling me to buy a slim box.

My frostbox makes a loud ringing noise when it's plugged in and turned off. It's loud enough to keep me awake. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I could ask my friend to return my other xbox, but I love how my frostbox looks...
Also, now having to restructure Valiant's [phmo] and [coll] cubes because I overlooked a small detail...

I was playing MW2 and ended up being matched with a hacked server... Now my level is stuck at 70 and I can't get it to restore back, now I'm stuck with a lvl 70 bullshit account or I have to reset it back down to lvl 1... WHAT THE FUCK!
