Well I know it is a joke but its kinda true, my brother in law is on 28.8 unrealiable dial up and simply cannot upload large files if he needs to validate, last time he uploaded from my connection so he could have it validated.
It takes him 1 hour to vote for 13 photos now that is dedication!

Mine is usually a little faster than 28.8 (right now it is 45.3, but is usually in the high 30's). I timed myself one time on one of the challenges and it would take me around 8 hours just to download each picture to vote on. Then, looking at it for a second or two ;-P, clicking my number, waiting for the next one. ugh. Fortunately, I got dpc unblocked at work last week, so now can vote faster.
The most annoying thing for us right now, is that nothing else will work. We don't get cable in our neighborhood. The mountain in the backyard makes satellite impractical, and we are over 18,000 feet from the nearest dsl slick. So, molasses.net it is . . . .for now. :-)
(Could be worse, I guess. I could still have to send messages with smoke signals.) |
Got any openings where you work? I could do a better job of voting in challenges if I were geting paid for it. |

And I thought Iceland was an remote place to live!
You know you can get a faster modem than 28.8 and probably can get ISDN line to your house, that should get you at least 4x faster. |
