Forced it to use Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) and the image and the site works no problem. Bahamut.Rulerofdarkness said: » Looks like it may be my router not properly handling the DNS servers for imgur. Looking into it further. you can either edit your hosts file, edit your router for that site, or change it to another dns, google's are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 iirc. edit: nvm Yeah, my ISP hasn't repopulated their DNS caching servers since imgur's domain was frozen a while back.
Go go shitty low tier ISPs. (CenturyLink) Wonder how many hoops I'd have to jump through with tech support to get them to repopulate their DNS servers.

(CenturyLink) Wonder how many hoops I'd have to jump through with tech support to get them to repopulate their DNS servers. I was using google's for a bit until they went glitchy on me the other month, not sure if I am right now or not on the first router, I don't think I am on the 2nd. (cascading). Could just make your own dns server, but it's more than what most people need, but it'd be good if a lot of people pirate in your house, you can do stuff like block all of adobe's ip's for the whole family.

I'm the only one in my family/house that knows what pirating even is.

well say you want adobe CS on all the pc's, and don't want to edit the hosts file for each, or run a local firewall app and configure it on each. Eh, I understood your point behind the benefits related to pirating.
Though editing hosts files is usually just easier and quicker for me. As well as the last thing I downloaded like that was already cracked and didn't need any additional setup. Google DNS is working fine at the moment though. Really debating on calling tech support, but I don't want to be on the phone for multiple hours trying to get the low-tier incompetent dumbasses to listen to me. ah, I've only had google's glitch once, and it was weird, not sure on your router but if it's like mine you can put 3 entries, in which case I had google's, google's and Comcast's just in case.
I wouldn't waste your time. Yeah, I understand that, but I always think of ways to automate stuff, and I wipe my computer fairly often... More than I probably should, about to do my desktop again really. I just wiped mine a few months ago and it was the first time in ~6 years. Had Vista before and it was actually working flawlessly.. Go figure.

Jetackuu said: » Ewwwwwwwwwwww[page break save] Like I said, it worked flawlessly for me. But I know it sucked for a large majority of people. Only had a few issues with it and they were fixed with a few tweaks back in the beginning. Not saying it was a good OS though. Hated how they had like a million svchost processes just to lower the load on a single threaded process. 7 fixed so much of the default ***. I swear to ***I'm
All fine! Yeah, I almost wanted to load it on a machine to test a 64bit driver for something, as a win7 version was never released, but Never was bothered that much by it.
Honestly I barely used it, most of it was on my mother's laptop, but setting up her printer got easier once I migrated it to 7. All I know is I worked retail when Vista released and none of the old people who came in wanted it, but none of them knew why, and they didn't realize the issues it had weren't going to have an effect on their e-mailing pictures of grandkids and reviewing the local Eat n' Park's coffee.
lol, yeah
On another note: the Canon Pixma 860 sucks major ***. To set up network printing you have to plug it in via usb every time. (you set it up on a new device). I haven't had vista, but *** 8.

I dunno, I'm pretty happy with my OS X Mavericks.

Just did Frontlines for the first time.
 Damn that was fun, even if I did suck lol. 1 kill 4 deaths. :x We won anyway. Maelstrom da bes. :I Bahamut.Rulerofdarkness said: » Bismarck.Magnuss said: » I dunno, I'm pretty happy with my OS X Mavericks. I can hear my brother-in-law right now. (He's not a hipster. He's a methodist minister.) "It just works!" *gag* Bismarck.Magnuss said: » Don't forget your Skrillex and Beats by Dr. Dre! Skrillex is far too mainstream for real hipsters.
But he will need his pack of American Spirits.

Bismarck.Ramyrez said: » Skrillex is far too mainstream for real hipsters. Didn't you know, that once something becomes "too mainstream" it's suddenly in and the hipster thing to do. Holy ***. I just realized that I am a Hipster. What's more non-mainstream then listening to one of the most shunned music genres - Metal?
Bismarck.Magnuss said: » Annnnnnd Jet just josiah'd the page. It's "josiah'd" now. bork died a year and a half ago (heart failure, big surprise)

We need a mod or Jet to un-Josiah'd it.
New variation of the word, yo.
