Completely off topic. But how do you put a spoiler.
On FA Forum it was [spoiler2][/spoiler2] but here its different.

I don't think there are spoilers on this forum. If so, I've never seen anyone use one.

The best set up for anyone who is internet savvy would be to cut out rogers entirely.


Lol, I don't know if you were assuming I had rogers internet, but I do not, so I'm OK. I have Cogeco, and they're ALRIGHT, but I pay about $60/mo for only 125 GB of bandwidth. Which is just BAD, given how much I download and stream. When I move into my new apartment next month I'm dropping them completely and going with Nexicom, who has no bandwidth cap and is $20 cheaper per month.

I originally just wanted cable for a few shows that I like, but really I can just download those.

Im thinking about getting in with this internet service i found out about from one of the salesmen at BestBuy. $40 a month and you get this little USB thing that acts as a wifi/3G/4G hotspot. Bam, wifi wherever you go. Would be especially useful with my laptop. Dont remember what company it was through or the speed details though, ill have to dig out that guys card sometime and check.


I worked for Apple doing tech support for a long time. Rule of thumb: Don't trust anything Best Buy says. Ever. I have stories if requested.

It wasnt actually from BestBuy. It was through a vendor/rep for the internet company that was setup there. I could tell their computer guys had no clue what they were talking about when i was there looking at the ASUS G74, shit i knew more about the thing then they did.

Yeah they really don't have a clue. I have a general policy of not having anything to do with them after some of the horrors that people have told me they did to them. Evil, shady company that doesn't deserve my business.

That's probably one of the biggest I've seen lol. It's practically a portable desktop. I don't think it's really made for lugging everywhere, it's monstrous in terms of processing power and energy consumption. Skip 6 minutes in to see the power supply on it.

Sue that guy. If you don't have the funds to sue him (or you're a kind soul, hehe like me) forget about it.


The woman (of course) that hit me was at complete fault for taking an illegal left turn and hitting from the side on a left turn yield on green. Not only was she supposed to wait for me to pass, but she wasn't even legally allowed to take a left in the first place.

Quote from Zed
I don't think he can sue them if he was speeding.


Actually 50 was allowed on this road. I put 50 down to show that I got hit while going really fast. That's fucked up I should be dead right now.

Quote from Ashlander
That sucks. I know what what it feels like to to total a car. I parked my first car, an 03 Lancer, under the back of an SUV cuz the bitch slammed on her brakes.


I fucking hate stupid drivers.
