To all,
Comcast would like you all to know that the new 4Mbps/384kbps speed tier is now available in all Comcast High-Speed Internet markets. The final markets of Seattle, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, and Salt Lake City have now made this service available as of September 1st.
For those who have not heard about this new speed tier offer, it will increase the current standard speeds of 3Mbps/256kbps to the 4Mbps/384kbps. This new tier of service is available to all Comcast customers and does not require you to use the official Comcast Home Network equipment (i.e. any cable modem that is compatible with the Comcast HSI network will be able to receive this new speed tier). For the residential Comcast High-Speed Internet service, you can now maintain the regular 3Mbps speed for $42.95* or sign up for the new 4Mbps speed tier for $52.95*.
Additionally, for those who are interested in the Comcast Home Network service, you can now sign up for this service and get the normal residential speed of 3Mbps/256kbps and save $10 off of the previous Home Networking service. Thus, if you have multiple computers in your home that you would like to all have internet access, you can sign up for the Comcast Home Networking service and Comcast technical support will connect your computers (using a Comcast wireless modem/router unit) and provide full support your home networking equipment. With the Comcast Home Network service, you can either sign up for the 3Mbps/256kbps speed tier ($42.95 per month*) or the 4Mbps/384kbps speed tier ($52.95 per month*).
If you have any questions about this service, please post them below.
Thanks,
Jason
In this case you're right. In Windows, I would pull five (5) FPS when walking, and no more than seven (7) when standing still in a room with little to no activity (ie. no monsters attacking, and not one of the larger rooms). When being attacked the framerate would usually drop down to two (2) or three (3) FPS.
Sounds like you haven't installed the latest Nvidia drivers in Windows. It really sounds like you're using the MS drivers that came with XP. To be fair, you should be using the NV driver on Linux or Xorg's built-in OpenGL.
I was bullied all thru elementary and middle school.. I was in private schools with under 100 kids all my life. Luckily,
#1, my parents used every last resource they had to put my sister and I in a private school.
#2. My mother had a very active role as a parent.
My mother is a testament to good parenting. I've had 3 stepdads, been to 8 different schools before I was 13, each school I went to, I was picked on incessantly and I didn't go balistic even once. I really felt like it but I knew that my mother loved me and that my tormentors would not be my tormentors forever.
I think that the best thing we can do for the kids is to regulate the number of children that a woman can have.. I say, after a woman has born a child, "fix" the mother AND the father. This may sound harsh but, think of all the good it would do. It would hamper the "players" who f**k em and forget em. This would give more kids an actual father. It would hamper the women who have 10 kids for the welfare check (or tax break). This would make it way easier for a parent to focus on his child. Also, mandatory parenting classes would be a great help.
I see this thug mentality, violence, and lack of morals mainly in under-privelaged children. These kids come from homes with no money. These homes can't afford to properly raise 1 child let alone the 10 that Maw keeps poppin' out. This is why there is so much violence in the inner city. Kids are not payed any attention, they join gangs, have no morals, and end up killing someone or dieing themselves.
We can't control what the parents do with their children but, we can certainly promote a good parenting-friendly environment.
