What are you ping speeds?

I am a bigger gamer and as such need connections with the lowest possible ping speed. I am considering changing from my regular broaband where I getting a 5.7MB down / 0.9MB up connection with 12ms on fastpath and 24ms with interleaved. (Getting BT to keep interleaving off is a pain in the ass)
Using pingtest.net could you all let me know what kind of ping speeds your getting?
FYI when it comes to gaming my current upload / download speeds are more than adiquate, so not concerned with these speeds. I am hoping to get an idea of if the ping speeds are worth me forking out some extra cash each month

Hi
As requested this is what I get from Infinity option 2
Here is a test from much further away
And at 10 thousand miles plus, do not think I will trying playing an online game there

What Are You Serving - Warning: US-Centric

It is now into the Memorial Day weekend in the US. What are you serving?
We looked into ribs, but decided that the marinade time was too long for Sunday evening. Instead, we opted for smoked brats on whole-wheat buns with chili, sauerkraut and shredded cheddar cheese (note lack of capitalization on cheddar). Ribs will be tomorrow evening.
Matching tonight's brats with an AZ Zinfandel, though it will likely not be available outside of the state of AZ.
Not sure what will go with the ribs, but am thinking of a Santa Clara Syrah, or maybe a big Pinot Noir.

The gentleman farmer (read winery owner) is Joe Anderson of Benovia Winery (great PN's, Zins and some very interesting Chards). He is also an aviator and multi-engine pilot. He was a principle in Schaller-Anderson, a healthcare plan administration company. Joe developed most of the software, with Dr. Schaller, and sold the organization to Mercy Healthcare Plan. This is the group that provides employee healthcare to such organizations as Catholic Healthcare West's Arizona hospitals, and to Carondelete Healthcare in Tucson, AZ. Joe walked away a very rich man, and now gets to support his two hobbies: winery owner (gentleman farmer) and aviator. I know that he flies a couple of his multi-engine ships, and has a jet, or two, but think that he uses a flight-crew for those. Could be wrong, and maybe he's a jet-pilot too?
I've flown a few ships, but only after take-off, and before landing, in "straight and level" situations. I have flown in dozens of tail-draggers, even out of friends' back yards. For strips such as those, a tricycle gear is NOT recommended, and for obvious reasons.
First time that my wife flew, we were in a Cessna 152, and flew out of one of those "backyards." We headed south of New Orleans and over towards the Mississippi Gulf Coast. My wife, and the pilot's date were in the back seats, and those were well below the level of our chairs. I'd flown this gentleman's planes before (though not his Stearman 450 - Joe's got one of those too, in military training garb), so I knew what to do. Over Cat Island, he told me to take the controls. My wife became upset, saying "Don't let him fly. He knows nothing about flying a plane!" We flew along for a bit (straight and level), and my wife kept it up. The pilot winked at me, and took over the controls, putting us into a heavily banked dive towards the island. My wife screamed, "I told you he didn't know how to fly a plane and now we're all going to die!" What fun, and we're still married, 38 years later. Now, I think that my wife would have more confidence, as she's flown "backseat" with me in numerous flight-sims, and has seen me land on rolling carriers, and tiny rice paddies, though all on a computer. I can imagine that we're headed to London in a 777OW and the pilot and co-pilot die. The distraught attendant comes into FC and announces, "does anybody know how to fly this plane?" and my wife pointing to me saying, "he can do it. He landed a 737 on an aircraft carrier in a storm!" How times have changed.
Now, with that same pilot and same ship, we flew over to Lafayette, LA for a football game. The airport was all by radio and visual, and no tower. On approach, we got a transmission from the plane in front of us, and he warned of severe cross winds and down drafts. The pilot set up, and began rotating. Things got very hairy, and he was working the flaps like never before. We were easily crabbing at 30º to the runway. Beads of sweat were rolling off of his forehead. My wife and his date were in the back seats, talking about what they were wearing to the game that nigh. I realized that things were not going well at all. Since the pilot was a crop duster, I had never seen him sweat, but we were committed by now, and it did not look good. At the last possible moment, he got us on line, flared out, and executed a perfect landing (between the numbers) with not one bump - smoothest landing that I have ever had in a light ship. Dead solid perfect. We taxied over to the gen-av hanger and the girls complimented him on the wonderful landing. We just looked at each other, and did not say a word. We knew how close it all came to being anything BUT a good landing.
I did my first aerial photography, harnessed into the grain/chemical hopper in his Stearman, shooting between the guy-wires, as he crabbed into my subject right at stall speed. I miss those days, but do like a comfortable ship, with a seasoned pilot and crew, and FC!
You know, even in my flight-sim days, do not think that I ever used a tail-dragger. Like the weasel reference. In south Louisiana, we were dodging crawfish holes, and wild possums and such.

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

I´ve bought the new IPad3, what a disappointment the 3G does not work, no Internet available, APPLE what are you doing for the all the people in Germany who bought the new IPad3? I´m still an Apple fan, all my products are from Apple but I need a solution

I have been waiting since months for the new IPad4G 64 Gbt. ON recommendation of Apple Support I have changed my IPad 4G last week in the hope that something was wrong with the firts one I bought.
The one I have now has the same problems. WiFi is working however 4G not at all. Apple what can I do? What are you doing for the thausands of German Apple fans who have bought a IPad4G and can not use it. We need a solution NOW. I´m working with this tool and need to be able to rely on it.
Thanks for a feed back.

It would be advisable for Apple to react officially on it. € 799, - for something that doesn´t function is no fun :-((
Isn't replacing your iPad Apple "officially" acting on it?

What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

Every single day, Firefox crashes and sometimes in the most inopertune time. This is very frustrating as some of the times I can not go back in and correct what I was not able to do due to your site crashing. What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

First, you must use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta and keep your current one for Firefox 3.6 to prevent interferences between the two versions.
For your problem:
# [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] could be a cause.
# If not 1. and if it does not happen in [[Safe Mode]], you must disable HW acceleration in Options > Advanced > General. If it solves your issue, your graphic driver is out-of-date and must be updated. Go to your computer manufacturer support site.

What Are You Playing Right Now Thread

Hey guys!
Let's start a good conversation! Thread topic is very simple which is...
What Are You Playing Right Now?
> Give a short overview about the game you are playing or is hooked right now.
> Give your recommendations to other members (good and bad or both are accepted)
> Likes and Dislikes
> Keep it clean and use English please
Shall we start?
Right now I am playing Final Fantasy X... yes.. an old game..... it's taking a long time to complete it. Before it, I played Mass Effect 3. Very nice game! Love the story! A lot of action and drama too. Recommend it to FPS and RPG gamers! Love the graphics too! Lady characters are very sexy! I think I'm in love with Miranda :p I'm also playing a little BF3 from time to time. I'm planning to go back playing MMO but can't decide what to play yet. I played Dragon Nest but got tired of it...

I'd love to play HOTS thou
Yeah StarCraft 2 looks awesome. I think I did play the first installment before I started working. I would like to finish the story. Been a fan of it since the first StarCraft... I'm kinda in a need of advice right now. I'm tired of playing single-player games right now like Final Fantasy, ME3.. I still have Alan Wake and Max Payne 3 that I haven't touched yet.. I feel like going back to MMOs.. any good suggestions? I feel like playing Guild Wars 2 but I'm reluctant since it's kinda old now and getting on top of the ranks should be harder for anybody entering the game right now.. Hmmm.. any other suggestions?

What are you using as a Flash replacement for 64-bit machines?

Hi,
I was reading about the vulnerabilities in Adobe's Flash and decided to remove the offending package. I opened Chromium to make sure my Flash still worked, as I understood that Chromium implemented another method for rendering Flash stuff. I was wrong. For example, YouTube tells me that I need Flash 10 or higher. I tried to re-install the flashplugin package, but it is no longer in the repos.
I can live without Flash content, but it's nice to have.
So the question is, what are you using instead, that can be installed from the main repos?
Many thanks,
Chris.

I have installed both lightspark 0.4.3 and gnash 0.8.8, since lightspark should be able to 'fall back to gnash for older videos' (see changelog of lightspark).
I have tried some flash-websites in firefox and all of them seem to use gnash and there was 1 website that didn't load the content (www.deredactie.be - our national tvstation). So, I'm under the impression that lightspark is not used by firefox.
Has anyone found out how to do this?
Secondly, gnash should be able to use VA-API (hardware acceleration). Is it just a question to install libva and let gnash do the rest, or does one have to recompile gnash to build the support in?
Zl.
PS: to whoever thinks flashplugin is the 'real flash': gnash has beaten it in terms of providing hardware acceleration. hooray for opensource!

What are you supposed to do instead of Adobe flash when you hit a site that requires it while using iphone?

New to iphone and first time using the web I get a message that I can't view a page because Apple blocks Adobe Flash. There seems to be some big story behind this, but what are you supposed to do to view those sites? Sorry if there is an obvious answer somewhere but I'm muddling my way through all of this!
Thanks,

Nothing unless they have an HTML only option you can click on the bottom of the page. However a page that requires flash only is most likely that of a company or business with heavy marketing content. Most websites with useful content either don't base their entire homepage on flash or have a mobile version for smartphones. So if you're visiting company or movie websites just do it on your computer. Apple and now adobe considers that the battery hit for flash animations is not worth it for phones. Most flash content is pure advertising rubbish anyway. I always install Adblock on all my browsers and barely see any flash except for videos and websites where the flash is not advertising.

Still on PS3? What are you waiting for?

Are you still playing PlayStation 3? Why haven't you moved to the new generation with PlayStation 4? What are you waiting for? A specific game? The right price? Morpheus?

i'm broke at the moment, but in all fairness, I've got plenty of stuff to keep me busy as it is on my PS3 (as well as my WiiU, Amiga, Spectrum, 3DS, PC and Atarti2600) so I have no real need to upgrade. Furthermore, I'm not sure where to go next gen yet. It's tooe arly days to make a sensible decisison. Morpheus is callling to me, but currently I am much more impressed with the XboxOne with all its functionality, external HDD support and codecs, than the rather barren and user-unfriendly (for me anyway) PS4. I am also very angry and unforgiving with Sony for all the content removal on both my PS3 and SmartTV (which has lost Facebook, Midnight Pulp, Sony Entertainment TV, Crackle, Viewster and a whole host of other apps they decided they didn't want to run anymore.) As well as loads of things on the TV that just dont work properly that they cant be bothered to fix, incluing something that casues Youtube to crash all the time. The loss of PSHome was the final straw for me with Sony. Contrary to what a lot of people like to think it was very busy, and for me it was quite important, due to health issues I am fairly housebound, and it was a very good way for me to socialize.I just don't trust Sony anymore to make something that won't be downgraded in the near future. If Morpheus is great then I might be tempted to PS4 in time, but with rumors starting to emerge that the XboXone might support the Oculus, Sony have even lost the VR edge. Just wait and see for now.

Video-gaming: What are you playing right now?

Hey guys,
Continuing our mini gaming discussion series, today we thought it might be fun to talk about current games we're playing. At the moment, I'm playing The Witcher 3 and it is taking up far too much of my free time

What are you playing right now? How are you finding it?

(not kidding) @Toby finish your Witcher quickly so you can start FFXIV! @Cleoriff There are some very handsome characters in this game by the way. Probably not identical to Mr. Depp, but a joy to look at nonetheless. I may take a look...Oh just thought...is this PS4 ? If so I am sorry...we are part of the Xbox One clan......... *Stands back*...

What are you most excited for?

Just as the caption says, What are you most excited for when you get your iphone
Iphone5

That we are all part of a family. Apple I5

So what are you going to do about it?

What are you going to do about these iPad2 shipping problems, Verizon? Your plastered dates of "3-4 weeks" has passed and we are now in week 5+ with nothing to show for. How is this problem going to be rectified? I'm tired of talking to phone reps that have no information because they can't see store systems, and I'm tired of retail stores that hide the screen and blurt off "it's in the warehouse system, but that's all the information we have right now." **bleep**!? You guys got my money over a month ago. Apple has been back to 2-3 week delivery estimate for at least a week now. I would love an answer. Maybe this board will be more successful than actually talking to you guys in person or over the phone. I would love a response, even if it's through private message or email. I've tried your other routes.

On yesterday, I was extremely fed up with waiting as I just hit 4 weeks (ordered March 22nd), I told my CSR (in an email) to cancel my stinking order, demanded my money back, called the 800 number three or four times to gripe and complain and I FINALLY GOT SOMEBODY ON THE PHONE that cared enough to actually do something about it! I'm sure all you have experienced the same thing where the rep on the 800 number is just briefly glancing at the order and then giving the company line.
I pressed yesterday and told the rep I needed someone that would escalate this and give me answers because there was certainly a Black 32 GB/3G with my name on it and that someone just had to push the right d**m button to match it up with me. Well she placed me on hold for 5 or 6 minutes maybe even longer but it was worth the wait. She told me that she did not have access to see anything with my order but that she got a floor supervisor because she too was concerned that my wait had been too long (going on 5 weeks on this Tuesday). The Supervisor did have the magic access and was able to determine that my shipping date is Monday, April 25th and that I'll have it on two days Fedex delivery (April 27th)!! I felt relieved to hear this and so was the CSR and she told me how excited she was to be able to provide me relevant information! On Monday, I should finally have a tracking number and hopefully my package will arrive as promised.
I will gladly return to this forum on Monday evening with an update but I must stress to each of you who were like me languishing on 4 to 5 weeks to make the same call to 877-807-4372 (regional Telesales) number. Give them your location code and they can tell you which region you ordered from if you ordered by phone. I live in Texas and my call was handled by the South region for Telesales and their number is 800-256-4646. Please don't waste your time calling the general Customer Service number (800-922-0204)....you need Telesales and you specifically need your regional team that you ordered from. Press the CSR to check with a supervisor to gain detail shipping information because it is their beyond the grasp of the CSR!!!

What are you listening to right now?

So, let's kick this place off. Remember this is the off topic thread so try to keep discussions on phones in it's dedicated threads and not here.
I am thinking music for this thread - what are you listening to right now? It doesn't have to be right NOW. It could also be the album or artist you've been playing non-stop for the last week.
Me? Mastodon released their new album recently. It's called The Hunter. Great album!

you know what i was thinking the same..i was going to make a thread as off topics only but thought no one would participate
i just listened to the track you mentioned..
awesome guitar play
but i used to listen to this genre back in may i think
now i love to listen to these songs
like i love you - rio
love you like a - selena gomez
AMAZING - INNA ( THIS IS TRULY AMAZING ) :smileywink:
