Nope. Seems to be running just fine. In fact, Google has a cool little sheep on a bike (using the two O's in google). Somehow that's supposed to be about the Olympics; I don't see it. Thought it might be National Cycling Sheep Day or something (I wouldn't put it past Congress).

:x Lately when I page back I often get "The page has expired". It may be a satilite issue as weather fronts to my southwest can disperse the beam and break the connection. Other than that no problem.

Your intertubes are clogged, go bodog.com and bet on some horse racing. That will fix the problem.

Could be your local service provider. Are they throttling the networks? Some do, to combat bit-torrent use,and filesharing.

I occasionally have issues with certain websites, but I am sure it's on their end. Not mine. Never had an issue with connectivity to Google, or any other large websites.

Do you use cable? Live in an apartment block? That sometimes messes with connectivity, because your neighbours share the connnection to the main trunks.

Who knows, maybe a random server your PC sent a request to, was down for a brief time, and you just happened to be trying Google at the time.

Or maybe the NSA has shown an interest in your internet use, and decided to drop a key-logging trojan on you, and it's a little buggy.

Might be time to format, and reload your operating system. I do it every few months, just because Windows is such a bloated, clunky, and moss gathering operating system. Plus it tends to get rid of malware in your registry that commercial anti-spyware misses. Which may include the malware, and trojans from the NSA, as well as any porn sites you frequent.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('GASMON', 'T')hanks for (some of) the replies. Gampy was correct.



Wow.
I was actually correct about something. Wonders never cease!

I have finally added something useful to this forum.

You made my day Gasmon. Have a pint for me tonight. I will have one for you.

I had some problems today, updated some protective ware, seems to have fixed things up.

I like to think its the NSA. Been thinking I should start a thread just to post messages to them, thought it might be a little too paranoid.
