Quite a lot of people just buy the rangemax router and use their non-rangemax cards built into their laptops or whatever.

lol – you know a lot of these people do you? Why would they buy a router twice the price of other wi-fi alternatives if they wont be able to use its main feature?
Because they’re the same tards who don’t attempt to indicate, check their mirrors or pay attention when driving ;o
Some of the bigger chain stores around here in those retail parks (comet etc) have a badly maintained shelf of various routers and more often than not the only things left by netgear on there are the rangemax. There is the odd router from belkin and other makes too, but the shelves are in a piss poor state of display so they just grab whatever netgear they see because of a reccomendation. A lot of people are more often than not baffled by the various standards and speeds and don’t really care what they have or how much it costs, so long as it works with what they’ve got or what they’re gonna buy. They could always ask the staff which would be best for them but more often than not the staff are salesmen and not necessarily ever used any of the equipment.
I have seen a lot of these people too as I’ve been out in the wild fixing this and that for various people – friends, friends of friends, then friends of friends of friends and their families!

Legit why would I buy a rangemax N router and not the adapter? 🙄

Mmm my grandad was a prison officer at the scrubs for years before he retired back to the motherland, the service set him up with the house near WeT too… -_-
I should ask him if he was 1 of the guards beating on the prisoners and if any of you guys go in there maybe he could put in a word to make sure you do/don’t get clubbed 😆
Erm no comment but you cna find it in chests and off the odd mob, but IIRC you need herbalism to mass loot it… Westfall is good for it though – if you’re a herbalist you will find that as you’re going through the game the materials you need at your level are usually in the areas where you’re questing at your level.
If you’re stuck you could also check http://www.thottbot.com or http://wow.allakhazam.com – I prefer Thottbot myself but Alla can have stuff thott doesn’t on there.

I forgot to add besides WeT 😛 That’s half the reason I go fast though WeT – every time I do everything right I end up getting shafted (whether it be road related or anything else), but when I do everything wrong nothing negative happens =/ Forgetting to indicate is 1 thing, but I’ve followed cars through multiple junctions – thye’re not forgetting, they’re just not attempting 🙁

And tbh If I was a biker I’d rather take my chances with public cars rather that cunty busdrivers and taxis!!! lol
Maybe… Taxi drivers are some of the worst drivers I’ve ever seen, when you consider they’re in charge of another life too then somehting wrong is going on… but for the most part the lanes are usually empty 90% of the time anyway… When I was at University in Bath they had signs up to allow bikes in bus lanes and it actually worked quite well as traffic did get quite shitty in the centre, though I guess that decision is left to individual councils.
I normally have mine set to respond to pings and disable the firewall, if I bother using a firewall I monitor it myself and use a software firewall as you mentioned. I’ve never really had any problems with my router, but I wouldn’t have bothered going for a rangemax unless I planned to use the matching rangemax transceiver to make use of it’s ‘n’ protocol. I don’t think changing it to b&g would make any difference to your problem, but then again it seems like you have a problem with java/flash anyway. Are you on the latest build of Java? You do know the Macromedia has been bought by adobe and the latest versions are on Adobe.com? IIRC you shouldn’t need to open any ports though (I could be wrong) but as they’re going through a browser and the browser is typically on port 80 which is usually open, then they’re probably using port 80 too, being a browser plugin? I have actually had a problem similar to yours recently since NTL rebranded to Virgin Media – my connection randomly goes to shit, sometimes when you try to reconnect you can’t see their DHCP server for hours and when you do connect the DNS servers like to drop 1 – all packets when pinging… and have a shitty latency =/ Don’t suppose you’re on Virgin Media?
DX10 Card and no DX10 games = why bother.
By the time you can buy a DX10 game, you could have bought a better DX10 card for the same money =/
Remember when ATI did those shader-heavy cards for Half Life 2 in 2004? Half Life 2 was delayed by a year and 2 generations of cards passed. By the time HL2 came out the cards marketed to play the damned thing were no longer the king of the castle.
There are 2 or 3 games on the market already which have DX10 upgrade patches planned, but even then there is no solid release date for the upgrade patches nor the games born into DX10… heck the lineup doesn’t even look that impressive so you may find you buy a DX10 card right now only to find you have no interest in any of the first generation DX10 games….
The least you could do is wait for the next generation of cards around Q3 this year- a decent DX9 card will set you back £50 on eBay (7800GT – mine cost £250 new =/) and will tide you over untill you replace it for something better when there actually is something to use it for!!!

as the banks will tell you ‘past performance is no indicator of the future performance”
the advice you are giving here is miles off the mark and you cant see it
That wouldn’t be too surprising… I’m not exactly getting any better… I’ve lost my ignition keys, garage keys, wallet, drivers licence, bank cards and house keys, mostly on searate occasions and on top of that when I’m going places I’m forgetting either where I’m going or why I’m going there… Old information still floats around here somewhere but new information is having trouble sinking in on the short-term… on top of existing problems such as temporary paralysis and muscle spasms… Brain Damage FTW. on the plus side I’m on the waiting list to see a Neurologist – by the time I’m seen to in x amount of years on the NHS I’ll probably be a vegetable 😆 But hey I’ll get free money and buy a nice single core pc on windows XP 😛

for once i agree with everything wolf said 🙂
And when you had PC trouble who was right it was RAM and was everyone else wrong? @=XDC= wrote:
Ooh no it can’t be the Ballistix because it’s big and expensive and guaranteed and the problem is not one of it’s usual symptoms the problem lies with xXx 😛
But you atleast followed my advice and it was another instance where I was not wrong and you got your system back up and running at full steam (without a thanks :P)
I like to be right but tbh who likes to be wrong? Sure being right a lot can be boring and being wrong can be embarassing, but just because someone does not shed a tear does not mean they do not cry.
That’s not fair though you’re supposed to use 2 of those 72’s… and it’s dual core 😥 On the other hand though the fact they’re on Socket F which is slated to support DDR3 could still give it an edge ❓

[Bike thread, nowt changes, nuff said
yeah – you’re still not paying attention and posting fiction as fact!! Stick to posting jokes or google a timeline on those nvidia and ati cards… and look up the early days off crossfire and supply issues.. and the fact that if you use a different card it cripples half the memory of the mastercard (nice when you paid extra for more ram) oh and if 1 card is slower they both run slower, whilst with sli the slower card gets overclocked… crossfire ft…w? Nah 😛

Magiker replied to the point you contradicted him on, he wasn’t discussing memory allocation
Mmm neither was I… what I meant was, if they’re only arguing about a dual core > single core and vice versa and not the fact that Vista is a waste of time etc… then their lack of argument on that matter is an agreement?
@=XDC_Wolf wrote:
he says he CAN and HAS backed up with hard evidence from a trusted site
What the reply consists of is a list of numbers from a series of tests done in a scientific matter which in the wild really arn’t worth shit; not only because of the randomness of reality but because with only a few % variation you really cannot tell the difference. Anything can bat the same test for hours on end and spit out a bunch of numbers at the end of it – but do they also consider random/dynamic environments? Not as much as you would think. Then also notice the dual core systems are 33% faster than the single core chip in those benchmarks – but is that really due to the extra core or DDR2 800 over DDR 400? Do the benchmarks automatically mean they would wtfpwn every application too? No…
Then you’ve got to factor in cost. Is it worth paying 100 – 200% more than a good single core for an extra 33% performance on 1 tsted application?? After blowing £500 on CPU’s myself not much better than a chip half the price is the best performer even what you want?

Maybe I am but it’s still half as much shit as yall full of.

but because of your staunch belief that you can never be wrong
LOL. I conceded on Vista 32 vs XP 32 RE: RAM, but maybe you only see what you want to see.
@=XDC_Wolf wrote:
refuse to accept anyone elses side of the argument
This from the people who don’t even consider my side before rejecting it, as if it goes into the junk folder by default? I’d have you know if I was to reject someone’s opinion, the least I would do is consider it and actually try to understand it before dismissing it.
@=XDC_Wolf wrote:
AND the fact that more often than not you are wrong
LOL. 3 points 1 Mistake. 2/3 ratio – 66% correct. Correct me if I’m wrong (:lol: ) but wouldn’t that ratio have to be below 50% for that to be the case? 🙄
