dialup isps are like that? Thats strange since the dialup isp that i used for about 8 years had no problem with me being on 24/7. The only restriction he had was 12 hour sessions. Just had windows redial on disconnect. I also paid 14.95$ a month since the beginning for that service, normal residential service.
Added p4 1.7a for now, will be moving the 2.4c from folding to this project tomorrow. Rock on slashdot!! always nice to help a good cause in any way possible
Last year i watched this "awards" show and got all pumped up about it being on, finally gaming getting some recognition, but after watching it for about an hour i was so disgusted that i/had/ to turn it off for free of destroying my tv in rage. I thought after that horrible portrayal of video gaming that perhaps SpikeTV may have revised their approach this year. Up until i found out that Snoop Dogg was hosting it i had full intentions of atleast tuning in for a few minutes. But honestly, mixing rap and video gaming? Sure that works out fine for maybe the Tony hawk pro skater crowd but i've never heard a rap song to be associated with counter-strike or the dear classic of Age of Empires.
The worse part is the person who has no true knowledge of what gaming is about may have casually glanced upon that awards show and left with a completely wrong impression of what gaming is all about. This is not what gaming is about. Having not watched this year's event and only relying off what i hated about last years event, i can say that they focus entirely too much on consoles. Are they that oblivious to the perhaps millions of people who regularly engage in computer games.
There's just too many things wrong with what SpikeTV did to summarize it all in a few slashdot posts; none the less, i can say that we're probably all pissed about what was presented.

To quote our good friends at Blizzard, "Working as intended" ..you mean blink is supposed to teleport me backwards?
