Deykari Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Should be ready to rock on Monday. My sister's boyfriend has a system that he's going to sell cheap to me. Had it a month, only been used to play the Championship Manager games apparently. It'll do me. And I'm going to invent in some seriously hardcore surge protection.

Chayesh Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Most power center type surge protectors have a jack to run the phone line into it. This is, of course, if you are in the sad state of using dialup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'm on a broadband connection, with my modem running through to the phone socket. What makes dial-up different from broadband (in terms of plugging it into a power-surge protector)? Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 As far as I know? Speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 No, I meant like this: Most power center type surge protectors have a jack to run the phone line into it. This is, of course, if you are in the sad state of using dialup. It sounds as if he's saying that you can only run your phone-line into a surge protector if you're on dial-up. Why couldn't you run it into a surge-protector on broadband? Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deykari Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 My connection fluctuates anyway, I have download and upload limits per month (2gb) and if I exceed those I am reduced to 56k speeds until the next month. And you'd better be hoping something terrible happens to the PC before I get it set-up, because I know all of the combo moves for Cammi.

Deykari Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 *smirk* I know all of the combo moods for...for...AWESOMENESS! Wow. I can't say I know of any "combo moods" myself. I bet you'll be good combining anger with depression after I get three perfects in a row against you though. And I hope to god Celerity doesn't see this thread, because she plays one mean Chun Lii.

Fiere Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Oh, that is IT. I'm practicing now Dey. I'll totally be ready to kick you in the face, quite possible with Chun Li. Honed to perfection, you hear me? Honed. To. Perfection. (plus, I'm training right now and all I'd do otherwise is homework:D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'd do your homework if I were you. Because if you do your homework, you'll lose at Street Fighter but at least you'll have done your work. But if you spend that time practicing, you'll still lose at Street Fighter, and you'll have no homework to show for it. Either way it's a lose-lose situation, but one of them will save you humiliation of telling people you practiced for a week to lose just as bad (if not, worse) than you would if you had done something productive.

Fiere Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 No, see, I'm so inherantly awesome that I'll do both AND kick your trash later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Well it's a good job you've got an emulator to practice on because if you tried practicing on the real arcade machine you'd spend $10,000 in coins just trying to get past the first opponent. There was a reason they called me Nick "The Chun Li Master" Lowthorpe in school. (although it didn't really have anything to do with Street Fighter to be honest, I just used to dress up like her every day for school.) *shakes his fist in the air* Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't you run it into a surge-protector on broadband? Dey Well, I have broadband cable and it doesn't involve my phone line so that's why I said what I said. I suppose it wouldn't be a problem to hook yours to the surge protector in that setup. My broadband hookup comes in on a coaxial cable from a cable jack into the cable modem, not a phone jack.
