So I awoke this morning, the day before my birthday. However it pretty much is my birthday because I got one of my two presents today—the new COD. with the other one being Skyrim— so I came home today and put on the new COD, halfway through my first game I get disconnected. I try to connect again and to no avail I get disconnected again and again and again. So I go through to my room where my dad's PS3 is located—its a long story :p—and find about 30 downloads all queue'd up. I hear the front door shut and go out to see my dad, I ask him WTF is up with so much downloading and he tells me to ask my mum.

So I walk into the house and go to see my mum, she tells me that she gave the neighbor our WPA password, my dad changed it and my mum just gave him the new one... and basically this 19 year old kid above this who spends 50% of the night boning his girlfriend as hard as possible—which isn't useful if you are trying to get to sleep— has decided to torrent half of the internet. our internet. So what was my dads plan? To just respond by downloading half of PSN using the internet... MY INTERNET!. My good friend decided to buy me C'thulu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII for my birthday. Which I am currently downloading at a dizzying 4kilobytes per second.

So I tried to play some other games like LoL, WoW, SC and in all the games my ping is killing me so I just decided to play Oblivion—to hype me for Skyrim!!— and fuck around with a load of console commands :p. So I end this blog with a question TL

What is the colour of the night?

Uhhh why in the world would your mom give away your WPA password? Not only does your internet connection get sodomized, but he can also access your private networks, potentially change your router settings to lock you guys out, and it's just generally a bad practice...

Cthulu saves the world was pretty good, worth to keep downloading at 4kb/s
Inputting special characters into chat should no longer cause the game to crash.

this is such a 1st world problem/story. I remember when I used to download pictures of porn on 56k and they took like a minute to load each and were pretty ghetto quality.


BoT, just go over and tell the guy to only torrent at night while he sleeps or something and reduce the upload bandwidth to almost nothing.
A man is what he thinks about all day long.

Yeah but she thinks everyone on this world is Lawful Good! She doesn't even know how to turn on my computer ;p

Also even if I said "THE SECURITY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" she would just say that he's a nice person and would never do such a thing

Can you not explain how bandwidth works? Internet line is wide enough for 3 cars to drive through, hes clogging up the highway with 1 and a half cars, dad has another car and this only leaves me with half a car, I can't go anywhere with half a car. He needs to get his own highway and stop stealing from us, don't tell him the password to our highway.

Or just get the admin password to your router (in most cases the password is blank, password, pass, or admin or another default password) and set the password to the network yourself.

edit: Above post has a good point, it is YOUR internet being used to illegally download stuff, another valid reason to not let a neighbor use your internet.

I'm pretty confused about how you can't convince your mother to disallow his internet use.

Damn. I already hated sharing it with people I know and are generally responsible (speed, usage limits etc). Hope you resolve it and it doesn't become a larger long term issue. Otherwise, Happy birthday!

Tell your mom if the neighbor downloads illegal shit, it's you who would get sued, not the neighbor.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

Ok... you can learn one lesson from this: Keep your mother the hell away from all things internet related. That woman is only going to get your internet sodomized even further at this rate. Does your mom not realize that if shit hits the fan and the cops are alerted some illegal stuff was being torrented, your house is the one that's going to come under fire?

Sorry, sharing internet connection is something that gets me really irritated. I love hogging it all though x)

You got any single player games?

EDIT: Just read your mom doesn't even know how to turn on a computer. Let's turn that into "she doesn't even know what a computer is" from now on.

Block his mac address on your router so he can't access your internet anymore even though he has your password. or simply change the wpa password...

Alternatively, you can start blocking any port on your router that he uses for his torrent programm. This will make him wonder and rage why his browser is working but can't download any torrents Might be somewhat time consuming though...

Do you have a router where you can just ban your neighbor's mac address?
