Psycho Tycho Posted March 27, 2001 Posted March 27, 2001 Did you ever notice Jabba that you're always naking threads up? Practically every thread is your's.
Admiral Zaarin Posted March 27, 2001 Posted March 27, 2001 Just one helpful suggestion, Jabba. Punctuation, capitalisation, grammar, etc, do help. I can mostly only understand your posts if I read them very carefully 3 or 4 times.
Jem Posted March 27, 2001 Posted March 27, 2001 I read twice and gave up on understanding the details, but I got the point.
Commander 598 Posted March 27, 2001 Posted March 27, 2001 I don't even bother reading it.I just go by the replys.

[Translate] Right i should be able to download at about 60k/sec, which is quite a nice speed, but some servers out there only give me download info at 10k or even lower, I had one today going at 128 bytes a sec! (i cancled it). Anyway there was this movie i wanted to download and i couldnt find a good server to get it from. I had to have it going over night - not a problem you think, however - 1. The fan on mine is very noisey 2. My sister had left msn messenger log on 3. One of her friend logged on a 11:40 at night 4. He contacted her 5 someone had left the speakers turned all the way up 6 the computer is in my room Ok so my complaints are: 1. Having to download over night 2. Sisters that forget to log out of msn!!! [/Translate] That easier to understand? [This message has been edited by KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN (edited March 26, 2001).]

Taarkin Posted March 27, 2001 Posted March 27, 2001 20 £ a month Err, I'm not terribly up-to-date on conversion rates, but isn't 20£ like, not enough to support a family for a month? ------------------ Was I supposed to eat the heads too?

milkshake Posted March 27, 2001 Posted March 27, 2001 No, his dad can only afford the modem for £20 a month.

Nute Gunray Posted March 27, 2001 Posted March 27, 2001 Last time I checked, 20 pounds was ABOUT $15. But that was almost two weeks ago.

Guest Jabba The Hunt Posted March 27, 2001 Posted March 27, 2001 either way (i thought 20 pounds was about 30 dollars) we cant pay for fast line so ntl only send us 64 k a sec its a way for them to get more money ------------------ iM. diSleXIc. sO. pLeaSE. tRanSlaTe.

Nute Gunray Posted March 27, 2001 Posted March 27, 2001 So your country sucks even more than my generous estimation? HOW EXCELLENT. Damn Deustchemark or however you spell it....worth more than the dollar. Time for another world war to fix that one
KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN Posted March 28, 2001 Posted March 28, 2001 if £20 is $30 then the pound is worth more than the dollar so
Guest Jabba The Hunt Posted March 28, 2001 Posted March 28, 2001 yeah england sux as far as new tech is concerned ------------------ iM. diSleXIc. sO. pLeaSE. tRanSlaTe. AnY oF tHe mmistypes/SpElLinGs jabbathehunt@hotmail.com
Nute Gunray Posted March 28, 2001 Posted March 28, 2001 i'll have to check this out...last time I looked the dollar was pretty strong and there were only like two things higher (German money and the Euro I believe). UPDATE: it would appear the dollar has slipped SIGNIFICANTLY in the last week: 20 US Dollar = 13.96785 British Pound 20 British Pound (GBP) = 28.63720 US Dollar (USD) Since the US's money's value is based on the method "we say it's worth a lot" not sissy things like "gold" or "GNP," I think it's time we go flex our military muscle and drive the dollar up.

Nute Gunray Posted March 29, 2001 Posted March 29, 2001 I got to thinking now and i'm not sure anymore
Guest Jabba The Hunt Posted March 29, 2001 Posted March 29, 2001 if you think the Euro is higher than the dollar then the american economy has really fallen Euros are more or less worth less!!! and if you have been listening to the news you should know that there are fears of the american economy going into reccession and that would not just effect you guys but it would effect us because after WWII you tied us into your economy ------------------ iM. diSleXIc. sO. pLeaSE. tRanSlaTe.
