Well, I've always wanted an excuse to move to Europe.

[Nadaka]

Compared to what is available in Sweden (and what I had before I moved to attend uni.) this isn't great. Sure it ain't bad but there is alot better out there. This is I believe advertised as 100/10, I used to have a 100/100 that was alot more stable and there are speeds ranging up to 1gbit/s to get as well in this little obovoid country.
What annoys me is the /10 part of this connection.

Dude. I am lucky to be able to get a hypothetical 8mbit/s down and 750kbit/s up connection here in the US. And I have the best provider in town, the next best internet  here is 1mbit/s down and who the hell knows how slow up.

[Aptus]

The lesson we learned today is everyone should move to Sweden. Don't forget, we have Swedish Meatballs and the best kanelbullar in the world as well

[Vorthon]

No. Everyone should move to the moon. Because SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCEEEE!

Man, you don't want to be playing counterstrike from the moon. The ping is terrible.

Europe has real internet thanks to having actual competition instead of 1 or 2 local monopolies. Most of the US is stuck with lazy monopolists who can't be arsed to do anything.

Fixed that for you.

I'm not saying its bad, but look at Google Fiber, and Sonic.net, and then look at the rest of the US. I'm within couple hours drive of DC and still can't get an A.

Why do I nerd out so hard when people dig into really obscure development and story universe nuances in videogames?

Cuz it's awesome

Thanks to that link, and checking out Grand Theft Auto's entry, I now know about Retro City Rampage, and want to play it when it gets released.

I'm perfectly content with this. Those nights when it has cut out completely, I did not like, but, fortunately, that hasn't happened in a while.

[Johuotar]

So yeah, first day at new school. That place is amazing, its very new for a building and beautifully designed. And the toilets are huge and comfy compared to, well any school I've ever been in. The last one was exact opposite of this one so this is quite of an improvement. The subject Im studying should be a LOT more interesting too, which is probably the most important thing.

That looks completely insane in the best way possible.
*insert image macro I'm too lazy to find*
Also, why is it that every few dozen pages you guys start comparing internet connections?
It makes me feel all inadequate.

Our chem teacher trolled us this week. She drilled it into our heads that by Chapter 2's end we had to have a few dozen different unit conversation formulas memorized, know the first 60 elements by heart and remember all the random Chem History facts that increased the size of the book by at least 0.5 dm^3 (500 cm^3, 500 mL, 0.132086 US gal rounded by significant figures to 0.1 HELP SOMEONE)

None of that was on the test. This WOULD be rage or WTF thread material, but by the time I spent an entire week frying every non-chem fact out of my brain, I knew almost all the stuff on the quiz off the top of my head. I am now beginning to believe this was some bullshit Reverse Miyagi plot in which getting my black belt is the ultimate way to learn wiping on and wiping off.

Having fiber doesn't mean crap when your ISP rate limits it like DSL.  I have fiber simply because it's cheaper than running copper in new developments.  I'm lucky they're giving me 20/2.

Our chem teacher trolled us this week...

I think it's a chem teacher thing.  My organic chem teacher in college talked about relevant stuff for 10 minutes (if we were lucky) and then spent the rest of the lecture on some tangent about fishing.  The tests consisted of the material that he should have been covering while he was talking about said fishing.

[Sheb]

Hurray for Uni internet. We're plugged directly into the network!

My organic chemsitry did that has well. Spent his time raging about penguin and pandas (Don't get him started on pandas!). Then would ask question at the test that were never covered in class, "But you should have been able to guess it!".

[Bauglir]

oh macromeme, you made me feel a lot better.

That is amazing. Laughed for far too long.
