HAH. YDI for not getting one though. This one was actually good. Also, I like the OPs name.

Mother Nature Must Die , and she will die . I'll make sure of it .

Another "I'm fucking stupid, FML". Stop looking for sympathy, we agree; you're fucking stupid. Fuck off.

Indeed he could've known that before... Though insurances could pay all your loss back.

You lucky you. Surge protector worth 10 bucks would probably set your house on fire.

this is the chief reason for me using laptops and wireless. i can continue to work during a storm, risking only my (relatively) cheap $90 wifi router. cheaper than $3k, anyway.

The only problem with that is you can't you a laptop for a lot of gaming now. They just don't have the power that desktops have.

more to life than games.

No shit sherlock.

Ah, bad luck. Happened to my friend a few years ago, had to pay like £1000 for a new, state of the art laptop she needed for work.

you shouldn't buy expensive pieces of technology if you don't know how to maintain them

YDI for using dial-up.

Considering it went through a router, chances are it was DSL/ADSL and not straight dialup.

Telephone lines can carry DSL or dial-up connections. Plus, using dial-up is it's own punishment. Don't be mean.

agreed

I thought that was common knowledge? YTDI

same here

YDI for using DSL or dial-up. YDI for not using common sense and protecting your computers.

YDI for not using a surge protector. Duh.
