2+2 = WHAT??!!! - Jeez, I'm gettin' outta here.

This site is very intuitive.

Control Panel, then right under "Maps", click add a new map ... I'm not sure what else could be said ... How could you figure out how to make a thread, and be well versed in the moderators, but not know how to add a map.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

times have changed crono....times have changed. :/

Doc B... :dodgy:

What I don't get is why this thread is entitled "Reno" ? Can you explain that mystery Hench?

I love this man.

I love this man.

Of course you do. :smile:

After forcing me to wait upon that massive 273k image to load I feel that Win98's rating should be dropped to a relative "1"

Opinions/Comments?

um why? 237k OH JESUS ITS HUGE....

It is, for a 800 x 600 image.

Too bad Orph isn't around, he'd point out all the factors about it.
Anyway, get a program like Xat to optimize your jpegs. Less file space
needed, less bandwidth usage for you, faster images for others. And all
that for just a 10 seconds job.

How do you rate other peope?

I have no clue, guess the rating system isn't as intuitive as I thought.

hmm...

Well windows 98 just rated himself a 5/5 and then disabled the option for other people to rate him.

That's why you can't find it if you're looking to rate him a 1.

vanity, definately my favourite sin

---

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

Acually i didnt rate myself. and i didnt turn off the option. k

and its a f**king picture if you dont like it then skip over it.

You aren't rateable. Conclusion, you turned it off at some point. Why say you didn't?

F to the T, You go to their profile and if they have it enabled, it will be right under their avatar. If you've already rated them, you can change the option and such.

[EDIT]

Windows, please remove that image from the first page. It's too large. Edit it out of your post or make a link.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Where are the admins these days?

How exactly would I skip past it - since there is neither a link to the image instead of displaying it, or a warning in your post that the image below is down-right tasteless and offensive.

You sir, are making The Snarkpit a less enjoyable place.

edit: Am I really the only one bothered by this?

Good question. I submitted some front page news that's been sitting there for about a week now.

---

My site

edit: Am I really the only one bothered by this?

Nope.

I noticed Lep has been away for a week now so that's why news posts
aren't being put up methinks (I don't know if other mods have the power
to put them up).

Snarkpit is getting messy as of late. Time for stricter moderating, or
time to let it go. Well, that's discussed before and I think there's
still a few around that want to keep the pit alive, me including, so...
I think I'll contact Lep tomorrow or so. Going to bed right now... :wink:

ok stop complaining, i made a link. i still cant see why you guys are mad at like a 200 something kb picture. but whatever.

It takes more then 10 seconds to load on my 4MB connection, you could only imagine how long it takes for people who're on a 56k.

That's the size issue, the content is something else.

We're upset because with the lack of Orph around, we've gotta pick up the slack and start remembering his teachings.

Secondly, you could have

1. used text

2. used an image a fraction of the size

3. optimized the image

or i could leave it how it is

1st off - 273 kb is nothing to complain about especially since its the
only picture in the thread. If this were a pictures or screenshot
thread then yes it should be optimized.

2nd off - theres really no need for xat if you just crop it in photoshop and make the picture an 8 in quality

I don't like Windows 98 either. Is that you at the bottom left corner of the picture?

no thats your mom

Well I have to head back to uni on friday, but got the opportunity for
a late week away so took it. My parents just bought a boat in Greece,
and so I figured I'd take a trip out to see it personally :smile:

My apologies. I seem to have caused a small riot. My intention was merely to shame Win98 into possibly altering the image for my poor connection.

Its really not his fault I was forced to use 56k but I had hoped for some small understanding. I will just need to avoid any Win98 threads and possibly avert any future scenes.

That's not a problem Underdog, Windows 98 has been, less mature than he used to act.l

Until later...

Somehow I doubt that I am the only 56k user present. Be that as it may, we both now know exactly where we stand on the subject.

---

Actually, Windows, it's not just for 56K users. It's also to use the least amount of bandwidth off the server as possible. It already gets loads of traffic as it is. Adding something like that doesn't help and is a little above negligible.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

how do you play HL2 or a mod of it on a 56k?

---

You tend not to play online and you use the offline feature for steam.

Chances are, if you had a 56K you probably didn't do much online gaming anyway.

On a side note, I just got a notice in the mail that my neighborhood is wired for fiber optics! Woohoo! Cheaper then cable, almost 5 times as fast, I'm in!

It is my understanding that its not the lack of fiber optics any longer. Its the lack of hubs that support DSL. A customer must be within 24,000 feet to be able to have DSL in their homes. Given the cost of installing the hubs, (I am assuming here cause there are so few available) it would take ages for the phone companies to recoup their investments. My last home had fiber optics 3 years before DSL became available to me. So, although I believe you will get your wish, its not a sure thing because the phone lines now support it in your location.

Good luck, I miss my DSL.

---

There is no history until something happens, then there is.

Fiber optics and DSL are separate technologies as far as I know. You connect to the optic line directly, DSL uses unused frequencies on the phone line.

There are a couple of reasons you cant get DSL. It could be that your phone interchange doesnt have a DSL hub, or the phone lines in your area cant handle it. I know older lines just dont have the signal/noise ratio you need at DSL frequencies, and in some areas (here at least) they cheaped out on the lines before DSL was available, apparently they split the same line between 2 houses (pair splitting... something with pair in it) and those lines dont support DSL.

---

"If you talk at all during this lesson, you have detention. Do you understand?"

• My yr11 Economics teacher

You are probably correct Wilson, but my comment stands. Its not the lack of optics, its the shortage of hubs. As I said, optics were in front of my home 3 years before I was granted DSL.

You comment sounds more plausible than mine if thats any conciliation.

---

There is no history until something happens, then there is.

Wilson is right.

We've had fiber optics for awhile, just not as Internet service. They used it for digital phones ... waste of the line, to be honest.

As for having it before DSL ... no. Not here. There's no problems with DSL hubs. In all actuality, the most common reason to not have DSL available is that the phone company that owns the lines is not offering it.

But, optics is faster so ... what does it matter? If there aren't DSL hubs? I mean, the connection I have now is faster then local DSL.

The only reason the Optic will be cheaper though, is because Comcast, our cable company, are Nazis. They want you to pay $55 for a basic connection ($60-65 if you don't have cable TV too) that is about a 4-6 Mbps connection. If you pay $90 a month, it'll be uncapped. Which is a rip off, since they have way too many people on their network as it is.

I'd like to switch to something that can handle more.
