My 56k modem is operating at 112k right now. Before you ask how this is possible, what I did to make it do this, why they can't make modems faster than 56k if it is possible, or if I'm lying: I don't know, nothing, can't say, of course not.

God only knows why, but people here usually jump at the chance to wish regulars a happy birthday. Despite of this, Trenz-- who is clearly the favorite of everyone-- has gone totally unnoticed. Or have I just missed the thread?

Below I've decided to speak my mind on a few unconnected subjects, enjoy: This high-speed Internet access is intolerably slow. I got a DirecWay satellite transceiver recently, it being the only form of broadband available here. I still have my 56k dial-up account with Prexar, though, and...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of either an online or freely downloadable speech synthesizer/text-to-speech/whatever you want to call it thingy that can read text in a clear, smooth, relatively natural sounding voice? I'd like it to have a British accent, I'd rather it not be American, and male...

I'm seeing if it more than actually was. No replies needed. No readed needed either, but you already have.

I find the sponsored ads on Google Groups to be a bit... out of place. Yesterday were two ads for a book called "Get Better Sex!" on alt.movies.kubrick. Now it's "Research homosexuality at the world's largest online library." The mind boggles trying to make a connexion to either one. I wonder...

I don't know where best to put this, it doesn't really fit in Domain Registration or anywhere else, so I'll post here. First the groundwork: In a project I'm planning there will be one or more domains off of which are hundreds to thousands of subdomains. Now, while I could treat each of...

I'd like to register four new .com domains and one new .bz domain. Where would you recommend I register them? I'd like someplace inexpensive, but not too inexpensive-- somewhere with a low price but still enough to leave me reasonably assured about the registrar's quality. Any suggestions?

Okay, some of you may remember my thread a while back looking for someone to transcribe a Romanian sound clip and then translate it to English. Part one has been accomplished. The clip (the reverse of the reverse of the chant in the first part of the ritualized orgy sequence in Eyes Wide Shut)...

Does anyone know where one can purchase old movies? I'm looking for the five and a half hour version of the 1927 Abel Gance silent Napoléon. Amazon doesn't sell it, they only have the three hour fifty-five minute version and I don't know if even that's been tinted correctly (some say it hasn't)...

If these fonts were given in a font tag in this order, which one would you see? For example, if you have AGaramond Bold installed, say "1", or if you don't have any Garamond, but you do have Goudy, say "4", etc.[list=1] AGaramond Bold AGaramond Garamond Goudy Lucida Times New Roman Times...

I thought I should tell you now so you can begin missing me right away, rather than having to wait until I come back. On my return in thirteen days I hope this will have swelled to eleven pages like my last thread announcing my absence. Gone bowling. Not back, avenge death.

How very odd. I was browsing around the forum when all of the sudden the dates on the general board leapt into the future five hours. All the other dates remained unchanged and, after reloading, the dates here returned to normal as well. Still, a bit of a surprise. I think I shall have a cupcake.

I'm in the process of rigging up one of my old typewriters to function as a computer keyboard but there's still one little obstacle in my way and that's the different order of the keys. In looking for a solution, I noticed that Windows makes a distinction between all the various English inputs...

Once more, anyone here understand Romanian?

The member of the month election for the month of June in the year two-thousand and two of the common era. Coming in first, with 14 and 10/13% of the nominations, is Syd. Second, with 12 and 5/13%, is Blank Verse. Third, with 10 and 19/20%, is Bigperm. Fourth, with 10% even, is Jan, and...

Make a reply using the code as the subject, then enter the "postid" to the reply in form 672.3229.2656-692o. <edit> And it shouldn't really matter if you include the "s=s=7d2adcf..." bit, but cut it out anyway. Also, don't include the "#post23..." either. </edit>
