REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I've finally got internet access on my computer in my own bedroom:thmbup1:... FYI, I will be posting naked from now on:naughty: J/K, or not;) I no longer have to budget my internet time and limit myself to a couple useful (or in this case, highly addictive and hallucinogenic:xp: ) sites. So, What's good out there??? Please share any internet goodness that you can't live without, and spread the addiction. (Best movie and game review sites, reliable (and fairly unbiased) news, anything I would've loved if I'd had full web access the last few years. Most importantly (I know they've been mentioned before, but I'd like up to date info without multiple threads) the best free anti-virus, and security protection that you all have tried and tested. Does Firefox still pwn IE? Are there any other newer browser options of higher quality? Any awesome stuff I can get ahold of to improve my general computer usage (I've seen screens where desktops and menus looked different than the standard windows)? I AM YOUR EMPEROR, BRING ME TREASURE:D FYI: The last step in my journey towards internetdom was replacing my 5 year old, corrupted version of Windows XP/Whistler, and installing a newer less corrupted hard drive. I decided not to transfer all the files from the original drive (who knows how much crap was in there, drive maintenance stuff never worked) and start clean... Guess what the absolute first program I installed was. KOTOR HARDCORE FOREVA BABY!!!:cool: I also have to reinstall every single modding tool, starting with KT of course:) The bad news... You'll be seeing a lot more of me:devsmoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 The bad news... You'll be seeing a lot more of me:devsmoke: More of Johnny? That's not such a bad thing Hmm, good sites. Well, how fast is your internet? If you have a broadband connection, I'd go to youtube and watch some vids. Sorry, but that's all I got. All I do online is: watch youtube, check email, hang out at LF. That good enough for ya emperor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Jae whops RJM on the head (with great respect): No nakedity here! I like ZoneLab's ZoneAlarm firewall Rambooster WinPatrol--save me from a virus installing one time when my AV didn't catch it in an email my grandma sent to me. Spybot Search and Destroy I got Firefox a couple weeks ago. The tabbed browsing is great and this site loads a little faster. Cool site if you like weather: The Storm Prediction Center http://www.spc.noaa.gov/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 I've heard of it here, I've never used any links to videos before because I wasn't using my PC and didn't want to change or add anything to get online video to work. It sounds worth checking out:) "More of Johnny? That's not such a bad thing" Give it a couple months:lol: Hopefully that's also not in reference to my naked posting:xp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 @Jae, But how will I ever become one of the great moderators without posting while naked? Definitely stuff to check out, but I'm not sure if I can use firewalls, I think they disrupt the system my satelite uses. I have to deactivate all firewall options to get it working.

You just have to configure it properly. As for what's good out there, if you have a strong stomach and don't get offended (and everyone around you have those qualities as well), there's the YTMND forums (http://forums.ytmnd.com) and 4chan's /b/ image board. Ehhh, I'm not sure if I should post a link to /b/ here though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Source Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 REDJOHNNYMIKE - Next to Chains.2da you are the second most self-celebrated individual in these forums.

REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Thanks for all the links so far:) I would've gone through them all by now, but I had to read the entire epic of Gordon Frohman (+1 Fanboy:xp: ) @IS, sounds fun, what's the IP?

Hallucination Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I am glade you have a better internet connection. :) :) :) :) I, too, am tract of land with few or no trees in the middle of a wooded area about you getting a better connection to the interweb. I look forward to all the weirdness you'll post before the next Ahtonaut awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 I'm not sure what a self celebrated individual is, but yeah it's awesome to finally get internet access like everyone else has. @Hal, ... We have been looking for a new housing site:D I am going to take the whole thing this year, but it will require inspiration from a great many more things which happen to be downloadable, viewable, or interactivable *hint hint* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 @Jae, But how will I ever become one of the great moderators without posting while naked? I have no doubt that you will come up with some solution that is thoroughly unique. @IS--something about having a Tootsie avatar and talking about riot batons is really weirding me out. @Hallucination--poor Mac has one errant 'e' and you ran with it, but man, was that funny.

Astrotoy7 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 lolz...I always thought RJM was one of the weirder ahtonauts.

Ztalker Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 When seeing RJM's happiness regarding his well-deserved internet, i suddenly feel sorry for the people that still don't have it, or use *horror* Dial-up...
