Random speculation?

Post by EvilGrins » Fri Oct 21, 2016 6:11 pm

As a forum for Unreal Tournament... has anyone else noticed nobody's really been talking about UT lately?

When I'm speaking about UT there are some... facts following:
- people ignoring stuff which I'm describing;
- people disturbed by reality because of their reasons;
- non readers - these usually aren't bother to learn nothing asking a stupid question with an already posted answer without to use that UFO feature called "Search" - usually placed in right-upper corner;
- if I'm posting solutions and new options nobody is bother to try and send any feedback - because of a busy life all the time.

In conclusion, let's speak about Java if it do sounds more interesting than UT. 3 billion devices runs java only your computer with XP need an update else is not part of those 3 billions devices running Java. Poor them, how much do they insist to install their spyware - it won't happen. I think XP is my last OS, and then bye computers, I'm getting tired of full craps called "awesome" in all domains not only IT.

As far as speaking of UT goes, this is the off topic forum..........
and if they have a question they'll probably go to the forum related to their server, assuming there is one.....
sorry to say, but the HOH servers don't seem to have a lot of activity lately, so I expect that's one reason for this place's inactivity.

I'm still contemplating which computer to buy, and considering having one made to my specifications, which would include no bloatware and maximum privacy settings already done for me on Windoze 10. I was surprised to read that many or most ready made computers come with a lot of bloatware already installed. I would have thought that the makers like Asus and the rest would understand that most people don't want that garbage on their machines by now. :roll:

While I'm mouthing off about this sort of thing, let me verify that I am now offline. I am posting from the library, and in no big hurry to choose my next ISP. I'll let you know when that status changes. If ever. :|

I just changed to Comcast from U-verse. My speed is about 5 x faster now but I really can't tell.

5x better? Wow, I wish I could get that for the same money.

But isn't Comcast the ISP everyone loves to hate down there?

Up here it's Rogers or Bell, but my own personal hate is on Cogeco.

Yes, Everyone hates their cable company but mine is 5 x faster and 1/2 as cheap. I have no other real options at the moment except satellite and that is no good for hosting servers.

To kick up UT random fun, I started this on ut99.org Thursday · https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=11824

I'll probably do a variation of that here, with different maps (to prevent cheating) in about a month.

Kick up some UT fun for the old-timers here.
