That was for Lund only, right? Wonder if you actually get that sort of speed. I mean, i go down from 2 Mbit/s to maybe 1.2 on us west coast servers.

It is Lund only yes(atleast for the moment, and not because I live there), atleast for the moment, and the reason for slow speed of coast might be due to their speed limits. As I have seen throught this thread, not many in the US have the option for this speed for a cheapish price, which to me, makes it look like most people only have around 1-24Mbit/s. And this might also mean that most companys also only have around 24Mbit/s, not that I'm right or something, which can slow down the signal over distance. Then we also have the distance that also makes it take some time and that the signal must go through several hubs before reaching it's destination. But else I don't see why it should go so slow on a server that might be in California.
All these are facts I've read about in this thread and on other sites, and I don't say this is how it is, just how I see it, which makes it that I can have right or wrong.

Semi-content from me and my mother:
Yesterday, I've just finished editing the video for my school project, and I decided take a nap before rendering it (I still don't know why didn't I just render it while I was watching TV), so I've put my PC into sleep mode and turned on the TV.
The thing I notice from the edge of my vision is that my mother goes in my room with a mobile charger, I hear the speakers turn off, and HORROR! She pulled the plug of the extension cord which supplied my monitor, computer and speakers with electricity. I asked her why couldn't she just plug the charger into the extension cord (there were 3 free slots), and she said: "I NEED TO RECHARGE MY MOBILE PHONE FAST AND THESE THINGS ARE SIPHONING THE POWER! :downs:"
I lost about 1 hours of work, god bless the autosave feature. :haw:

SG-1 Season 10 sucked. The only episode in there worth watching is 3x22
If you want to download drivers from Acer's website, you can select x64 and "x32"

The networking in our house is quite interesting.

(The second wireless router in my room is because the main WLAN is too weak for me to use while in my room, these wooden walls seem to kill 2.4GHz signals quite well)

Nope, that's practically what I do. Artistic representation thrown together in Photoshop in 2 minutes:

We got new BIG TV-s in our class in our school.
It is connected to the terminal, what goes to the server in our school what goes to another bigger server in the middle of our city.
The TV is connected to the terminal with a HDMI cable. Guess how.
Terminal -> The thing what makes one VGA to two VGA ports. Can't remember how it is called -> VGA to HDMI switch (External, not a little adapter) -> A fucking 30 metres long HDMI cable to the TV.

Every single windows machine in this collage has a DVI splitter attached to the back, all but maybe 3 computers in the school have more then one monitor.
Got steam to work through my SSH tunnel. Downloading Breach now.
It's taking fucking forever and I can't play multiplayer, but I can download. That's what really matters.

You should copy the games over with a portable storage device, and then play through the tunnel.
In my Intro to computing class, everything taught was so low level that even the Professor realized how "derp" some of the things he had to teach were. 90% of the class had their laptops out, and I played LAN games of StarCraft throughout the entire semester.

I would do that, but I don't have a primary desktop yet...will do that later.

Half of the students here don't know what's Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, I asked my teacher to do a lesson about key combinations, and my teacher says: "We do not teach that high level computing." :smith:
By the way, congrats on your last blue post.

It's far more worse.
One of them think the whole internet is the operating system :suicide:
He also thinks that opening the command prompt is an invitation for hackers.
I haven't been arsed to read every page of this but from what I understand there is no content.
Hmm.
Our maths teacher used a spreadsheet where he types in a number and the answer (can't remember exactly what it was) appears in the next cell.
Everyone thought he was a fucking wizard.

At least your teacher knew that much. When I was taking a class on computer hardware and software troubleshooting (no idea what the class was actually called), my teacher was a guy who's been repairing computers since the 70s or something like that. Everything we used in that class was around 10 years old: Windows XP, white generic towers that looked like they were crap when they were new, and hilariously outdated test software, which tested us on information from the 90's (big surprise).
Another thing, the teacher is always "right", even when he is wrong. I don't really hold that against him since he was right the vast majority of the time, and in fact the class may have been wrong and were being stubborn, but there was this one instance that I KNOW he was wrong about: the testing software not having problems. The test software used two processes, one for a pseudo-VM of XP; and one for something I forget what, but using task manager to kill one would kill the other, which I had to do often because it froze a lot on me, and that leads to this gem of a bug: killing one of the processes when it's frozen did nothing out of the ordinary, but killing the other one automatically marked the question you were on as correct, 100% of the time.
Me, after confirming what caused the bug repeatedly (I only did it to like... maybe a twelfth of the questions), decided to tell the teacher about this. Nope, I'm obviously wrong about such a bug existing and am just trying to get out of doing the final. A less scrupulous person may have used the bug to then just ace the whole test in less than 10 minutes, but I finished the test the correct way and was glad I didn't have to go back to that class again.
I feel bad that I have no content because all of our tech teachers are pretty chill.
just finished installing black ops on the last of the computers, we're having a lan party next week during school.
And yes, I know, black ops hurr durr y u pley dis gem. We're all sick of CS1.6, and it's FPS Week.

No, they are generaly just cheaper.

Team Fortress 2 maybe? HL2DM (free on steam, look up Nvidia or ATI offer on Steam)?
