My computer is running fast except for when I am trying to stream a video online. I am pretty sure it is my wireless connection. I have 2 linksys routers. One for Vonage, and then my wireless G router piggy backed onto that for my laptop. Is there a different setting or something I can do to make it faster?
Videos that are already downloaded onto my computer are very fast so it's not my computer but my connection. do you think that the broadband connection is split too many ways between my vonage phone and my laptop? Email me at stellatrippedandfell@gmail.com if you have had this problem before or it you know how to fix it.
Thanks!

shouldn't be watching so much pr0n ;>
ha! interesting - our setup is the same - of the top of my head i don't recall anything that would cause a slowdown just for videos
dr. n.: maybe its my video card. It says it has 799 mb combined space. I think it's Nvidia 7100 or 8100 or something like that. I'm not sure...I took the stickers off my palm rests. Do you have a 'G' speed wireless router, or an 'N' speed wireless router? Also, what did Clay do to make yours go faster?
Mommy stamper: What else am i going to do during naptime? :D
It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards"! That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you
scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy.
Here are the Stella's for the past year:
7TH PLACE:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin , Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury
of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were
understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.
6TH PLACE :
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda
Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps. Go ahead, grab your head scratcher.
5TH PLACE:
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania , was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for
Dickson,the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT, days on a case of
Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's
insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the
jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish.
Keep scratching. There are more...
4TH PLACE:
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock , Arkansas , garnered 4th Place in
the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have
been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had
climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
Grrrrr ... Scratch, scratch.
3RD PLACE:
Third place goes to Amber Carson of Lancaster , Pennsylvania because
a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500
after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever happened to people being responsible for their own actions?
Scratch, scratch, scratch. Hang in there; there are only two more
Stellas to go...
2ND PLACE:
Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teet h. Ev en tho ugh Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.
1ST PLACE: (May I have a fanfare played on 50 kazoos please)
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs.. Merv
Grazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home from an OU football game, having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and over turned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued
Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't
actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was
set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down, $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of
this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who
might also buy a motor home.
Are we, as a society, getting more stupid...? And worse yet,
these people all are probably BREEDING!!!
I had something to say but I forgot what it was. After reading the last comment all I am thinking is WTF??
Penny: Ditto on WTF?!?!?!?!?
