Hello Mike

Before replacing your trusty cable modem you should have some of your friends, family and neighbours who have this same service test the actual speed of the service. Regrettably some ISPs have been know to not consistently deliver the advertised speed to all their customers. They usually cover themselves by advertising "speeds up to ...". In most cases the lower speeds are legitimately caused by technical problems. If your line is only capable of supporting 10 or 12mb/s then you might as well stick with your current modem. If I understand your modem's manual correctly (I am not very good at understanding technobabble) http://www.toshiba.com/taisnpd/products/pcx1100u_cmmanual.pdf it would appear from the information on the 15th page (which is actually marked as page 13) your modem can support up to 12mb/s if pluged in to a USB port.

To test the line's speed, connect to these sites. Some sites may report slower speeds than others. This is normal and is usually caused by distance and line conditions.

I guess i don't get the title of this thread. What does a badly run psychiatric hospital in Brooklyn have to do with "America." I find anti-American sentiment at least as tiresome as the "I'm a patriot" crap.

This is sad and angering and there are other sad and angering stories everyday. Governments come and go and some of them do a bad job. Institutions come and go, and some of them do a bad job. People come and go, and some of them fail to take care of their brothers and sisters.

I don't think this is unique to those that live in the borders of the United States.

What is good, though still sad, is that this has a least caught people's attention.

Posted: 03 July 2008 at 7:15pm

I am planning on upgrading my cable modem from a Toshiba PCX1100U to a DOCSIS 2.0 compliant modem. I recently upgraded my service to 15mb/s and I think my present modem is limited to 10mb/s. I've had my old Toshiba for over 2 years with NO trouble, resets, etc. - it's really been perfect. I'm just worried that it may be old technology.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a really good quality cable modem?

I also want to move from a wired network to wireless. Most of the the better 802.11g routers are very stable and work just fine. I would like to upgrade to an 802.11n, dual band router (I think the 5ghz band will become the 802.11n standard).
Anyone have a recommendation for a solid, reliable, fast 802.11n dual band router?
I bought a DLink DIR-655 based on its high reviews. Well. . . . the darn thing just keeps re-setting every time a new wireless network either comes on or goes off line. I've tried everything, including disabling the UPnP on both the router and computer and nothing works.

Thanks!!

Mike

My family came from Europe.  It may have been in their best interest at the time.

How does one go about going back to where they belong?

It's just a matter of time before this sorry place causes me to beg for emmigration.

What else can I say, if you don't get it without my words you never will no matter what I say.

God bless you!

Y'know, when this thread was started, I actually thought my NoNags friends might provide some interesting discussions (e.g. show me the error of my ways).

Whether Democrat or Republican, it seems like voting for John McCain is a no-brainer to me. Is there "damning evidence" to suggest otherwise?

I think the following articles (a small snippet of today's op-ed) show a pretty accurate overview of why most conservatives and/or Christians won't be voting for Barack Obama.

I'm still waiting for the "FUN" you guys alluded to.   

Please read: Rejecting our values 100% of the time by Mychal Massie Why I support John McCain by Dennis Prager Obama's theological Chinese menu by Joseph Farah In defense of Dobson by Pat Buchanan

P.S. If possible, please fight the urge to call people names (right-wing fascist, you fool, etc.) ... Seems kinda counterproductive in a public forum.

Jim, I realize that humor can be subjective, especially if there's a truth element involved. Rarely will 3 people in a room agree on what's funny. And even if two may laugh, the third is often slighted.

That leaves me kind of confused? Which "sacred cow" did I slaughter?

When you posted that lesbian wedding photo, you specifically directed it to me.

Originally posted by dedcat Just for you Robert!

To me, this seemed like a personal invitation for response. What was I to say? How did you expect me to react? Did you expect me to be shocked? In today's world, hardly anything is beyond shame. Was I supposed to go "postal", so you could ridicule my answer? Should I have opined on the medical and social dangers of homosex? Was I supposed to pull a "Jerry Falwell", and start quoting brimstone and hellfire scripture?

Humor is what I felt -- so a joke is what I posted (even if only slightly funny). Is it surprising that I find the whole GLBTQ movement hilarious? (GLBTQ = gay, lesbian, bi, tranny, questioning)

I can understand why you might defend your national heritage. It's normal for someone to honor their traditions. But your anger is misplaced.

Originally posted by dedcat ...anybody who went to a decent school and learned some basic classic history would know...

It's not right-wing fascists, the ignorant, or the uneducated (and certainly not me) that have rewritten your country's ancient history (or the perception thereof). It's the GLBTQ community which you need to address!

See sites like >> this one or this one

Wasn't it revealed in the latest "Alexander the Great" movie that he had queer tendencies? Hollywood is to blame for that twisted revelation -- it's not my fault. And if you take the time to google sites like Amazon.com, you'll see there are hundreds and hundreds of books that disgrace your country's fables, philosophy, heroes, and history -- and almost every other nation's too.

I'm not big into conspiracy theories. But for such a small group, their agenda for the last 30+ years has been masterfully orchestrated.

What am I supposed to be sorry for? ... laughing, instead of screaming? ... or crying?

Dear Robert, first, I want to apologize to my Irish friends, but such discussion between an Irish and a Greek could not be possible, anybody who went to a decent school and learned some basic classic history would know that Greek and Irish histories are simply non comparable in any way. And then there are racist right wing fascists like you,  who love to throw your stupid racist jokes around and laugh with your own ignorance and foolishness. I EXPECT AN APOLOGY NOW TO ALL GREEKS....  INCLUDING ME.

NOW

And go get a real education you fool.
