    My sig is a quote from a British comedy show "Goodness Gracious Me". I could've also added "We're going to put the FUN back in FUNDAMENTALISM" but I like the other one better.:D

    Some users sigs are pretty obvious, others seem rather mysterious.;)

    Exactly as it says.

    Plenty of folks with technological terrors here.

    Just don't be too proud of them.

    No matter how cool you are on the computer, there is always someone else better, with better equipment and more experience.

    Fact.

    Mine is also exactly like it says. There is more to you than your computer. Well for some of us there is, but me probably not.

    I actually found mine whilst riding the bus...

    Was traveling home from school, and passed an advertising company, which had strange slogans on a poster...
    One day it "Kunstig intelligens kan aldri erstatte Menneskelig *****i", which I translated into what you can see below...

    What language is that MrGaribaldi?

    Mine stems from years child hood abuse and beatings...

    Not really.

    This is a common signature I use in many places, because I never can think of anything I like enough to put underneath my name.

    I think that would be Norwegian.

    I actually thought of mine myself.

    Mine is from Babylon 5's Crusade, It is what the technomage Galen asked Captain Gideon in the first episode and was used in the opening credits.

    I think I'm going to change it but you can rest assured that my new one will also be from the B5 saga

    Its either Dutch or Norwegion ! And sorry if I miss spelled i. :0
  14. MrGaribaldi TechSpot Ambassador Posts: 2,802

    It's norwegian... As for misspellings, I've seen plenty worse! Believe me! :) Besides, as long as people understand you, that's the point of spelling... (Though even if I do understand d00d sp34k, I don't like it...)

    Shouldn't be too hard to guess if you take a look at "location" on the left side of this post... Just ignore my working adresse ;), and you have which country I'm originally from...

    my sig is a representation of what a mean person I am. j/k - it actually applies to all of us - I am totally dissatisfied with today's bandwidth. Even on our T3 at work I am unhappy. I am ready for the power-user to have a new step - cable and dsl has hit mainstream. I vote for gigabit in/to home!

    I do as well. I would to be able, not just to download movies as I can now, but to have them stream in, so that they are being downloaded whilst I am watching them.

    The other day I downloaded Red Hat 7.3 - why can't I just get that in like 10 mins or something..... or actually downloaded it from the net and burn it to CD at the same time? An internet streaming CD write?!? Why not!

    My God, all you folks out there will your little dial up modems and stuff.... how DO YOU manage!??!!

    Dial up is dead. :dead: Unless you have an excuse for it (live in remote rural region, etc) you should ALL have broadband, or you are not experiencing the internet properly....
  17. Arris TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,316   +20

    Not that long ago you said the internet had become rubbish Phantasm... Why would we all want broadband to experience rubbish ;)

    Seriously though I have recently moved home and have gone from DSL to 56k and loading even the techspot homepage is a painfully slow process. I don't think I will be surfing much from home until I buy a flat and get a decent connection again...
  18. Phantasm66 Newcomer, in training Posts: 6,504

    Television has become rubbish too. But there's still a hell of a lot of people watch it and there's still the odd good program on TV.

    Same with the internet. I might be pretty much a lot of BS in terms of adverts, spamming, marketting ploys, etc... But there are still some good sites out there (like this one) and still a reason to tune in (like downloading films, etc...)

    Just as I would propose that watching Television in black and white as opposed to in full widespread color with surround sound is "spoiling it" if you like, then also one must apprepiate that what's good about the internet, no matter how little that is, is spoiled by slow, unreliable technology like dialup.

    P.S. Haven't you worked out that its futile to try and argue with me by now? Just agree with everything I say and maybe I won't pick on you... ( j/k ;) )
  19. Arris TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,316   +20

    I wasn't arguing with you. Just pointing out that you were in favour of larger bandwidth to experience the crap that the internet has to offer ;) (which was just a joke in the first place)

    I do agree that more bandwidth is always better.
    Things like streaming movies, online multiplayer games, internet radio and such like can only benefit from increased bandwidth.
    Still waiting for more news on Internet2...
