Wireless internet. Signal strength 95% to 100%, excellent. 1Mbps.
I moved to a house in the 'polder' last week. No cable internet and 1Mbps is the best I'm going to get out here... Feels like a cold shower after coming from 25Mbps.
On the plus side we got a huge garden and not a lot of people in the neighbourhood.

Quite luck you... wish i could get that 100% strength,,,free of cost 
|
|

Not quite so free. We pay subscription costs 
And I had to buy an additional usb wireless internet adapter because my computer couldn't receive wireless.

Is that roughly in excess of 3 MB/s? You could dowload a cinema move Live the, or have I miscalcualted here?

Well, you'd never actually get the 25Mbps, but it's pretty fast nonetheless.
Never understood really how that works. Your provider gives you 25, you pay for 25 and speedtests say you've got 25. But when you're actually downloading something it's more like 5 
At least all my day to day activity was instant. I now watch pictures render on screen and I have to wait about 10 seconds for gifs to load.

Ah, I see, you only get full speed when its sunshine and when people have other things to do, like at night.

Once upon a time I had a 5.56 kb modem

Hence my title. It reminds me very much of the 90's

A lot of data sources won't give a connection of that bandwidth. You can probably download 5 parallel 5Mbit streams though

This happened years ago, but I just remembered it and thought I'd share: the first company for whom I worked out of college often had me complete RFPs (request for proposal) for potential clients and partners. One of them was a gem; here are two questions:
Q: Are there any foreseeable complications? If so, list them.
A: Fair enough, but there was nothing to report here, so no worries.
Q: Are there any unforeseeable complications? If so, list them.
A: I think I just put "probably", if memory serves. If I'd listed one, wouldn't I have had to move it to the foreseeable list? I felt like Kirk was trying to make my head explode.

Obviously, you were supposed to look into your crystal ball and predict the future.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

This week I tried sending back a broken Logitech mouse that was still on warranty. I already had written off the mouse and didn't expect anything. Amazingly, Logitech agreed to send a replacement and I don't even have to return the origonal, or pay postage.

They have special funds kept aside for those 1 in 10,000 claims they receive. Good for them very few people would do what you did

You, Sir, deserve a salute. You took so much pain for a mouse!

Soooo... what's the speed limit in your area? 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
|

Does it really even matter?
For the record, I don't street race, but like every good American, I do occasionally exceed the speed limit. The difference is that my car can actually deal with it (I took special car to make the car handle and stop well).

Did you change the drive shaft? There is a video of the v6 losing its drive shaft at like 120. It seems the stock one isn't engineered for speed.

Yeah, I already have a 1-piece aluminum driveshaft int he car, but I can't use it with the new motor. I have to have a new one made.
