  1. I had a Suzuki marauder 800cc cruiser. One of the first things I did was put Vance & Hines pipes on. It was pretty much unbolt the existing pipes and bolt the new ones on. It took a little bit of wiggling and lining up, but I don't think it took more than 45 minutes. EDIT* I don't know why, but loud pipes on a cruiser makes it much more fun to ride...
  2. They have cornhole tournaments at the bars in Virginia Beach

  4. and the modem is connected to the computer via CAT 5 cable? Without the router, you basically have one less hop. Well I did think of a scenario that could potentially raise your pings. No router means you only have the windows firewall... which probably sucks pretty hard. You could be getting hit with all sorts of stuff trying to get access to your machine or you could have data being sent out, that your firewall would have normally blocked. A few years back I had a web server running on a windows box that was in the "DMZ" which basically meant that the routers firewall did not apply to that machine. Would have been the same as if I had plugged straight into the modem. I checked the log files after a few days and I was getting spammed all day from different IP addresses trying to log into my machine. Either way, I doubt you are getting spammed enough to give you a consistent 20+ ms higher ping, but it is possible. given my experience, I would say its very likely that you are at least getting pinged and seeing what ports you have open. Most routers have "respond to ping" turned off.
  5. How old is the router? Either way, it sounds like the router for sure. As far as getting lower pings when connected to the router.. I don't see how that's possible. I've had D-Link and netgear routers both go out on me. The dlink would start getting flaky when it got hot and eventually started dropping. The netgear just sucked. 3 or 4 years ago a friend gave me an old linksys wrt54g and I put DD-WRT on it. It's been the most stable router I've owned, by far.

    Howdy

    Seeing the familiar names from back in the day always leaves me feeling nostalgic.
  7. I hooked my comp back and up and was ready to own you guys in some CSS. I logged on for the last three night nights and the server was completely dead at what used to be prime time hours.. I was about to start a thread asking whats going on and I found my answer here. This saddens me. Other than matches back in the day, GC's server is the only server I play on. The 5v5 is cool, but there goes the community aspect. Well counter strike... you had a good run..
  8. it doesn't have to be a picture, it can also be a link to an image or gif.
  9. If you don't have it, get it. http://hoverzoom.net/

  12. I had photoshop for years but never really learned how to use it. Then one day I decided to face swap my friend. http://i.imgur.com/lBeuA.jpg I'm not a super advanced user, but I can easily do stuff in gimp just as well as photoshop. It's pretty much the same for basic tasks.
  13. Oh and mice decided to take over my bike in the last month. No major damage. I had to clean out the air box really well and I blew one nest out of my exhaust and it smells horrible.
  14. Nope, I'm no longer in va beach. I moved to Roanoke last year. Do you ever come back out this way?
  15. I put Vance and Hines on the 800cc Suzuki Marauder that I had and it sounded killer. I can't explain it, but it makes the bike much more fun to ride. I think I got them online for about $300-350 and put them on myself. It was pretty easy. I'm actually going down to get my bike out of storage this weekend. I'm thinking about taking a long trip on it this summer. The longest ride was 300 miles in one day and I had to stop about every hour or so because my arse was killing me. So I'm also looking into something to make the seat more comfortable. I have an older therma-rest camping pad that I may hack up for a DIY job.
  16. Looking back through old threads, I found where I bought a Hanns-G 28". I'm pretty sure I paid around $500 for it back then. http://gamrs.co/forums/index.php?/topic/35243-ps3-vs-24-widescreen/ It's looks and works great. I much prefer the 1920x1200 aspect ratio of it over these 24's I use at work that are 1080. Probably one the best comp purchases I ever made.
