by Steve Gibson, Apr 10, 2006 7:59pm PDTAmazing how tiny shifts can improve WiFi performance so much. I broke down and finally got a new wireless router from this century about 6 months ago and of course now the 802.11n stuff is starting to hit market. Le-sigh!

my fucking neighbour is a nightmare. i'd have sex loudly quite frequently during ungodly hours during the summer. and i guess the headboard bangs against the wall and the sex noises would bother her. fair enough. she bangs on her wall a couple of times (our bedrooms are wall to wall) and i get the message. but now, she claims she was recently diagnosed with some sort of sleeping disorder that the tiniest noise will interrupt her sleep.
so i can't take showers late at night because she'll wake up, i can't talk in my bedroom at normal volume after 10 cuz she'll wake up (i have to whisper lol). def can't watch tv, and def no more sex (i have to take that shit in to the living room :(. just recently i've found out that my walking was too heavy for her. lol the kicker is, instead of telling me this, she tells the super. fortunately i'm friends with the super and she knows i'm a reasonable guy...i've lived here for 4 years without a problem. so now, this bitch takes it to the head office and i fucking get letters telling me to stop.
to this day, no one else beside, across, above or below me has compained about noises. yet she keeps phoning in complaints to the office. i've talked to head person there and she knows tha the neighbour is exxagerating her noise comlaints but has no choice but to give me warnings everytime a complaint is lodged. i'm trying to be civil about this but what i have to do to keep her happy is ridiculous. and my gf is getting annoyed with having to tiptoe and whisper past 10pm, literally...
god, what a psycho...what can i do?

fucking teenagers :)
Today he got hit by a car, his bike is bent beyond repair, but thankfully he got away with only a few bruises. What really irks me is that he still refuses to wear a helmet.
How would I go about convincing him?
I thought maybe showing him a few comparisons àla "this is your head with a helmet, this without one after a crash" would do the trick. That a couple of pictures or a video, something like I got to watch while getting my "bicycle license" back in forth grade might help, but so far I haven't had any luck finding something like that. I even asked the cops, while helping him file the report, if they still had stuff like that on hand, but other than a few flyers that warned against drunk driving or the dangers of pot they had nothing there.

Some pretty good impressions, especially Janet Maslin's. The trailer didn't really do it for me, but who knows.

I know a lot of the shack has a lot of money, and it seems like most people earn their own 'hats, so to speak, which is cool. But I don't think you guys have anything on my rich friend.
I just think it would be crazy to have the $1400/month apartment, the 40 some odd inch plasma screen with the arm thing that extends out of the wall in any direction, the 7.1 surround sound, the amazing suede couch, all the consoles, the massive movie collection, the super mega liquid cooled dual mac with literally 8gb of ram in its own room with the huge, amazing 20 or 30 inch or whatever amazing lcd, all the hardcore audio hardware. I mean that's not even mentioning the apartments in other cities and all the camera/movie/sound gear, the $250,000 jewellery, the clothes, the famous friends, the trips all over, the hot girls and the vip service everywhere.
The best part though would be being able to go out and spending like $400 on drinks and munchies, then going out after for $120 worth of chinese and leave a $35 tip with only 2 other people.

What was your favourite gun in the Fallout series?
For me - the .223 pistol, the facsimile of Rick Deckard's gun from Blade Runner.
20 - 30 damage, 5 round clip, great penetration, plentiful ammunition.
Just aim for the eyes, and watch the heads explode.

9.1 Gorgeous, simply gorgeous; outstanding sound and music; wonderful adaptation of the standard jak gameplay; a lot of things to do in the game, and reason to play through again.

Added four more habaneros and stuck it on a pizza with bbq sauce and a combo of mozarella and cheddar cheeze. It's like the greatest hawaiian pizza ever now.
