Considering the internet...

Cars.

My Java teacher was absent. AGAIN.

[kaijyuu]

My Java teacher was a laid back dude who only graded our assignments like half the time. It was nice~

[Sirus]

That sounds far more preferable to a teacher who's been absent four days this semester so far, has been late almost every other day, and doesn't upload the homework assignments when she says she will

My java teacher next year is also going to be my teacher for two other classes.  At least two of which will be in a row.

I don't know what the problem is, but random websites keep refusing to load (while others still work) and on occasion my connection drops completely. Sometimes it affects other users in the house, other times it doesn't, so I have no idea what the problem could be. I've restarted the router twice to no avail, as well as restarted my wireless adapter. It's gotten to the point where I can't really do anything, because it is all but guaranteed that videos will suddenly die or downloads will cut off half-way through.

I'm not sure whether to be posting this here or in the RAAGE thread, but I'll stay here for now...

Do you have limited data?  If so, that might be your problem.  If not, try contacting your internet provider.  It might be a problem on their end.

... all those people running around with those yellow ribbons saying "support the troops," who never do....

What's worse is the article comments from people who do not get it. They asked why he didn't stay in for four more years.... Simple, he couldn't, hence his "disability claim...."

Wow....

Some people miss the most obvious things.

I'm starting to wonder if it's a problem with my computer itself. I mean, this website loads. A couple others load. Freaking Google won't load. Neither will the page of my service provider (well, now it is loading).

Also (and this problem is comparatively minor), my desktop is supposed to cycle backgrounds every half-hour. It hasn't done that for 3 hours or more, which is also about when the problem began.

Think I'll restart and try some things. Wish me luck!

I encountered something before that blocked google.  Try going straight to some known antivirus sites too, if those are blocked you might have a problem.

You leave your job, they stop paying your wages and benefits.  That's not really a surprise.

Sirus, check your Proxy settings in all your browsers; if that seems fine, restart (thoguh you're already doing that). Also, you could try switching your DNS settings.

All except for Norton loaded, though McAfee took a couple of tries while Avast! and MSE would only load the text. I have a full MSE scan running right now, and will be running anti-malware and anti-spyware afterward, though I don't know if they will find anything.

I'm holding off on the restart until my scans are finished; I once restarted without scanning and it took nearly a week to clean out of my system afterward.

I'm not using any proxy on my browser currently (not sure if that's how it's supposed to be or not). The DNS and stuff like that is all set to automatic.

TURBOEDIT: Okay...browsing is working just fine now? O_o;
Things are moving a little more slowly than usual, but all the websites I've tried to visit (including Google and a variety of anti-whatever sites) are loading again.
Still gonna scan everything and restart though.

So I went out my front door and I see junk mail on my front lawn. Not just a couple of catalogues either, it's like a carpet of paper. It's not even one type of catalogue, that would be easy to explain (Kid: Work? FUCK THIS!) it's a little bit of everything.
