Tired of pretending to be straight.....confession time.

If my dial-up is connecting at 50000bps, and I want to watch a video encoded at 400Kbps....what will the picture quality be like ?

Sorry for the deception. :$

Dude. Adding fellatio to your subject line wasn't enough?

Congratulations, btw. I hear there are a lot of great resources to help you adjust to this new phase of your life. I hope your family is supportive as well.

You won't get any picture quality; it won't play realtime. If you have a, say, 400kpbs gay porn you want to download (just for the sake of argument) you'd have to save it first.

I stand corrected.....now that y'all have recruited billvon, you have about 2 1/2 brains between the 4 of you.

Are you saying I'd have to download and save the whole 3+ hour game ? I'm sure my computer would take a week to do that.

If you want to come to the Gay Pride Parade at Disney next summer, you can stay in my guest room again.

Your options are:

1. Get the file split before it's sent (the originator has to do that)
2. Go to a faster link and download it. One way is to go to Starbucks with a wireless-equipped laptop and download it there; they have high speed wireless network.
3. Start the download then go fishing. When you get back it might be done.

I have downloaded 4 gigabyte files by starting a torrent transfer and letting them run overnight.

Did you ever take care of that cockroach infestation ? They wouldn't come around if you kept a neat house.

Thanks Bill. Probably be easier just to drive to Tennessee (to get into ABC's coverage area) and rent a hotel room.

At least you saved me $20 for gas. B|

Um, why don't you just go to a sports bar? I hear they're very welcoming of the gay folks these days.:D

Seriously, I go to sports bars all the time trying to keep up with east coast college football on the west coast.

Here's a trick if you're within a few miles of a commercial hotspot:

1) Get an access point (cheap) with an external antenna connector.
2) Build directional antenna from a Pringles can or an old Primestar dish (very cheap!)
3) Aim antenna at hotspot
4) Register and use for high bandwidth connections.

Because these unknowing fools in the South think that the ACC and SEC are the epitome of football, when every REAL fan knows that the Big Ten has always been the toughest conference.

No, they were those big, mean Florida roaches. I'm pretty sure they sexually molested your cat too.

The only word I understood was "Pringles can".

Sure, because they can flip the barstools and quadreuple the seating capacity
