The Tech Question Thread

[lurch70]

just visit some male porn sites ... she'll never bring it up.

What makes you think I haven't?

Breakfast Blend works for me.

Drinking it right now, a little darker roast than I expected but this is quality stuff.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

OK, so I heeded the advice and it seems to be working. Thanks.

Next question: how do I rid this computer of all vestiges of ever having been on any kind of pron site before the wife notices and the Third Inquisition begins?

What browser do you use?

If you use IE, download firefox, don't put a shortcut in the start menu or anywhere else. Then browse porn using this (access through a well hidden shortcut).

If you use firefox, download opera. See above.

Done. No way she can know unless she goes snooping through obscure folders that she probably doesn't know exist. or if you get another fucking virus that puts gigantic penetration scenes on your desktop.

LOL @ Andy

 

[Hell Mike]

Doesn't the latest IE version have some kind of secret porn-surfing stealth mode? Doesn't save anything at all while turned on etc etc

Well done, sir

This video should pretty much cover any question that comes up in this thread.

Dark One: did you use two tablespoons per cup or just one? I use one. I think two would be really rich.

 

[Dark One]

About 1.5 or so actually. The recommended serving is usually a little too weak. That said, if I know I have time for a couple of cups, I'll just use 1.

I'm strongly considering switching over to cable after my last run in with these punjabi fucktards. I was on the phone for a good 45 mins with "Ryan", better known in his native tongue as Muhammahed Farooq Dumbai. After going step by step through his "Toubleshooting for Dummies" manual, which included swapping the ends of the ethernet cable, making sure every wire is connected not once, but thrice, and then asking me to rub my belly while I patted myself on the top of my head, the dsl connection finally sprung back to life. Note that my insistence that the complications arising were external consistently went unheeded. Now I have to deal with a third tech sometime this week. The first one to come out said it was external, the second simply woke me from slumber and didn't do fuck all, and the third to be seen at a later date will probably be bringing me frankincense.

Side note - Fuck tacky looking A5Digibooks.


OT: Who here has experience with Time Warner cable? I would like to switch over to a company which employs individuals who have a grasp of the English language. $35 a month for 1 yr, free cable modem, free wireless router. Aurel my confidant, what do you think? I'm currently paying $53 a month for finicky DSL and a phone line which has the reception of Lich King at a Ghaal Fashion Show.

Im on time warner no problems really...downloading off Megaupload @ 1.1mb/s, but I tihnk you got to pay for your modem/router/remotes(at least we do)...can't say anything about Tech Support, haven't actually ever needed to call

My dsl at it's most Kenyan capacity runs between 250-300kbs/s:

 

[lurch70]

go for Time Warner Cable ... I have it and switched from DSL years ago to it.

best thing about it is it never goes down and the one time it did it was the modem itself ... and they let you come in to one of their locations and swap it out yourself ... no wating for a scheduled tech to come out days later to troubleshoot.

you can talk to your online g/f's in just hours.

download and upload speed are super duper also, far superior to dsl

 

[dorian gray]

I have cable. It's fast. I don't care.

 

[skeptik]

Need advice on a CD/tape player. I'd like to get a cheap one that is decent, obviously. I have this:

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/P...eTheaterSystems/AudioSystems/ci.HTP-2920.Kuro

and this:

http://www.numark.com/ttusb

and would like a unit that plays both CDs and cassettes that would be compatible. I don't know too much about electronics, so any help is appreciated.
