We may be more afraid due to george bush, but are we safer? Being fearful does not necessarily make one safer. Fear can cause people to hide and cower. What do you think? How does that work in a democracy again? How does being more threatening make us more likeable?Isn't the country with <BR/>the most weapons the biggest threat to the rest of the world? When one country is the biggest threat to the rest of the world, isn't that likely to be the most hated country? <BR/> Our country is in debt until forever, we don't have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths. <BR/>We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1155100238232707042006-08-09T01:10:00.000-04:002006-08-09T01:10:00.000-04:00Yea, my cable sucks ass too.Yea, my cable sucks ass too.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526768359403038489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1154636056182347812006-08-03T16:14:00.000-04:002006-08-03T16:14:00.000-04:00i've got some spare chipmunks up here i can fedex ...i've got some spare chipmunks up here i can fedex you.<BR/><BR/>i'd see if you can get a different modem. might not be anything to do with the cable (other than the obvious outage) - could just have a flaky modem.<BR/><BR/>did you have to purchase one? or are they screwing you further by making you lease it from them?<BR/><BR/>chipmunk pizza you said?paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877492628206201961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1154617025119640152006-08-03T10:57:00.000-04:002006-08-03T10:57:00.000-04:00I feel for you.I had a faulty modem that took them...I feel for you.I had a faulty modem that took them two weeks to replace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1154616584775591612006-08-03T10:49:00.000-04:002006-08-03T10:49:00.000-04:00rick - pigeons are more reliable, and very tasty s...rick - pigeons are more reliable, and very tasty should they fail to please you.<BR/><BR/>circe - I only sacrifice the guilty chipmunks, plus I'm saving their pelts to make a trenchcoat. Only 372 more and I'll be finished.<BR/><BR/>doug - with my old phone service, 28.8 would have been good. When I tried to use dialup with them, my connection varied between 4k to 32k, but never stayed connected for more than three minutes.<BR/><BR/>tracy - I think I'll go with harassing them with e-mails and filing complaints with the BBB and anyone who will listen, but I'm through wasting my mobile minutes on those morons.<BR/><BR/>fatty - connection problems have been solved - by ME. Thanks for your concern, diddums. :p<BR/><BR/>sj - thanks, but the problem was a bad Ethernet adapter, and I fixed it.<BR/><BR/>death - yes, I had my filters in place, although they didn't seem to do much good whenever the DSL dropped off the net. I still think the bottom line problem was bad wiring they refused to replace.<BR/><BR/>pbs - now that I've solved the problem, their service seems okay. I think I'll be fine with Charter as long as I do all the troubleshooting myself.<BR/><BR/>gg - go for it. Customer care centers are just begging for a shooting rampage.<BR/><BR/>kira - great minds think alike.<BR/><BR/>mal - I think that was the problem with BS - the lines were bad, but their numbers didn't think the cost of losing me justified replacing them. Charter hasn't impressed me, but the cable connection is pretty good.<BR/><BR/>joe - actually, Blue Moon Pizza does have jerk chicken and spicy Thai peanut pizzas, so that's pretty odd.<BR/><BR/>leesa - I work near (not in, thank god) a call center, and I can tell the vast majority of problems they encounter are user-related, so I understand the need to treat everyone as a potential moron. It's why I'm so patient when I'm the customer and yet obviously know more than tech support.<BR/><BR/>pq - thanks, but I think I'll be okay with cable now.

My ISP likes to give me a fixed IP my office assigns it dynamically so the ISP's servers weren't able to keep a connection for long and kept dropping it. Solution? I installed NetSwitcher (you can get freeware equivalents if unlike me you can't get it from your workplace) which allows you to switch network settings at the click of a mouse without having to restart your puter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567372758347040220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1154555839373677202006-08-02T17:57:00.000-04:002006-08-02T17:57:00.000-04:00oh diddums, welcome to the wonders of connection.j...oh diddums, welcome to the wonders of connection.<BR/><BR/>just dont get satellite -very tempremental.<BR/><BR/>have fun sorting out the connection troubles!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1154550333993338502006-08-02T16:25:00.000-04:002006-08-02T16:25:00.000-04:00Sorry you're having such problems.
