ARGgggggh. I swallowed so many words there.
tinypliny - 10/30/10 20:13
hehehe - I LOVE it. You like you stepped out of a period drama! :-) You just one of those victorian regimental uniforms :::link:::

I see you went old style or is it brit style maybe (e:tinypliny) would know. Kinda looks like how the singer from Motorhead (old english predates Metallica metal) would style his.....

looks like you started shaving at your chin and gave up because it was just too much... ha ha ha. and you are annoyed by it. but it's nice and tidy... unlike the one in your userpic right now. :)

That's pretty much what all my work desktop and unwisely bought extension home laptop keyboards look like... except they are black.

My mind saw an obscene gesture, I guess I'm not that dirty.
metalpeter - 10/30/10 16:07
I'd call it a battle ax since it has blades on both sides but from this perspective it looks like a space ship...
tinypliny - 10/29/10 20:57
And its glowing.

We see.

Upload Speed Inequality
Category: computers
I don't understand why I can't get decent wired upload speeds in Buffalo. Every month I pay $99 for a FIOS account out in the suburbs because the city has no comparable upload speed service.

I was looking at some FCC data for Buffalo and it seems like the wireless upload speeds are topping wired already. I recognize that this is not a huge sample source but seriously, this is just totally ridiculous.

Wireless Averages (in kbps)
Average Download Speed10,896
Average Upload Speed7,016
Maximum Download15,168
Maximum Upload8,171
Wireless Tests39


Wired Broadband (in kbps)
Average Download Speed42,640
Average Upload Speed3,425
Maximum Download83,163
Maximum Upload3,747

You shouldn't post all these shiny stats. I have green vision as a result.
