Multipart file. That's pretty standard for huge stuff like TF2. Most compression software (7zip, winrar, etc.) has an option to file split like that. Then you just upload 50 or so 200 meg files. Download them later, uncompress, and voilą. The thing in its entirety.

May vary by area. We've got $35/month for the low end, here. You can check here.

It's worth noting that fairpoint's kinda'... well, iffy, in other ways. Or at least has been, here. And they're still overpriced for what they offer. But, better than nothing, and hella' better than monthly limits.

Some of us just migrated over to .7zip >_>

Major solar flare. They're expecting more and stronger as the sunspot it's coming from angles more towards Earth over the next few days.
Does this mean you get to pull out the excuses again?

Think that was you, anyway. Either you or nenjin.

Eehheeheee, number crunching. Sorta'.

Seems I'm manging about an average six hours of filtering listening a day, right now. Or at least leave six-ish hours worth of music left over. If that doesn't speed up or slow down, it should take me thirty six (and a third) days to work my way through OCRemix's stuff. So I'll be done... probably either late november or early december.

Music! Whee!

And then hopefully I'll never have to do this again, gods curse it. It's only about nine straight days worth of music with a little extra from what I had on my mp3 player (~230 hours), but it takes a while to trim the thing to taste. Though once that's done I can start adding other things ♫

Huh. Anyone you can talk into downloading the TF2 files and letting you copying them over via a flash drive or somethin'? If you don't have a large enough one, you could use something like .7zip to bundle the thing up into multiple files, then make a few trips. S'about the only thing I can think of off the top of my head, barring genuine shenanigans (which would probably involve a usb wireless device and hauling your desktop strange places.).

It's happened before! A couple times. I think.

Winter sales? Something or other. It's not as surprising as you'd think!

Just uncommon. And still not sufficiently low I can justify the cost. Unfortunately. Dom 3 is great, heh. Pain in the ass to actually play, but great nonetheless.

Check the syllabus. If your area's anything like mine, if the grading method isn't explicitly stated th'fellow can get in a decent heap of trouble.

Because I don't like wearing hats and my beard is already about that long. It'd be kinda' silly in a bad way to have some sort of freakish beardception going down. About the only thing I couldn't mimic with what's already hanging off of me is the hanging mustache bit. So it'd be a bit superfluous :P

That looks both warm and amusing. I wouldn't go so far as to say I want one, but it's pretty neat. Kudos to whoever made the thing.

Slow! I don't care!

Two liter and portability.

What you do, is get the cheapest bottled water you can. It's usually (considerably) cheaper than the soda, by weight. Get whatever has the most bottles for the lowest price. Then you either drink the water or pour it out (possibly into another container for later drinking!) and fill the bottles back up with soda from the two liter bottles.

Portability solved, and it's still costing you less per ounce. I haven't actually found a place just selling bottles, but if I do and that's even cheaper...

At the very least, never, ever, buy the free standing 20oz bottles. Unless things are massively different wherever you are, those overpriced pieces of crap cost as much as the two liter ones... sometimes more. Refrigeration is apparently enough to triple the cost per ounce :-\

The canned stuff is almost as bad. Vending machines in general are ridiculously overpriced (Though I've seen some exceptions, on individual stuff.) and should only be used in absolute emergencies.

♫Oompa loompa doompity doo...
Heeey, memories. That reminded me I have an infinite frothing hatred for those little orange bastards. My hands did the little reflexive strangling thing! Frumple doesn't care if you facepunch gods, he gets to roll a natural twenty (with a plus ∞ to confirm all rolls) to strangle to death anything singing that goddamn song. So far I've managed to make the will save versus succumb to murderous impulse, though. So no one's died, yet!

I was in the play, long, long ago. I took away from it nothing but a degree of voice training and towering enmity towards wonka's factory and everything related to it. It was times, it was. Not good times, no. Just times.

Fatfinger'd something important again, hohoho? If whoever's idea that was is still alive, I can only imagine your rage fuels their continued existence ♥

Seriously though, I've used it occasionally. Very, very rarely. It's usually faster to just highlight (shift-home) the word and retype it than position the cursor appropriately, type through, remember to hit insert again, etc., so forth, so on. Might be more useful for slower typers, I guess?

Maybe it's got some kind of use for stuff that uses the numpad a lot, I'unno.

Honestly, I can't answer that without violating forum guidelines.

Suffice to say it is both possible and not particularly complicated.

I like the OCRemix hosted ones a bit more ;D

Though there could stand to be more, yeah. There could pretty much always stand to be more DKC remixes, honestly :P
