Offtopic / BAD Internet wifi con, annoys people

« on: September 15, 2010, 12:33:55 am »

This might b very off topic, but.. here goes. (UK'ERS might want to listen more i think)

Remember im skint and cant afford the £45.00 > £80 gpb high gain arieal that i cant be certain actualy works anyway.

Here it is, I own a Vod4fon3 USB Dongle, with 3GB allowance for £15.oo gbp. I know is a complete ripo0ff but until I move home I dont want to go with much more reliable contract. (IM UK BTW).  However I live in the most wifi (dl speeds are small kbs 40not Kb's Or KB's) signalless <-- Newword maybe, hmm... place in the central belt of Scotland (where infact I should bee able to gain the full amount. My old vod4 was the only fone that could get a signal,,,,hmmm... But theres 2 big hills.  <-there & there -> (need to put one V or A, not v or a,  up and down)

If anyone has similar problems? Any Idieas?

I bought a 10 meter extention just to realise it wasnt propler sheilded, nor, did it have the ferrits on the ends to help. so I'm using my say 3 foot one stretched to near my window that is sheilded etc...

Problem is it does help but just..  Does anyone know know of better ways of gaining better signals on the cheap.   

I'm thinking about getting a satalite dish and tring to direct my dongle to the nearist , stronger signal.  But dont think my land landlord would appreciate it.  Or Would wrapping my 10' cable in tin foil reduce the interference because it did disconnect the link often.  Should I buy what i think are called ferrits ( things that you get on the ends of cables just a inch or 2 before the connector / attachments).

Or would a salad/spaggetti collander (dish things with holes) make a good sat dish; would a sat dish work that way.

Could I convert anything to create much more signal for this DONGLE infact I'll mention it its a K3565, I bought it was because it was a best buy. ayeeee....

3GB (data allowance)= £15

BUT NO CONTRACT, which I needed at the time... untill i move house.

Discussion / ???Up stairs in the alien ships???

« on: September 14, 2010, 12:27:17 pm »

I downloaded 2.3 and looks good

Howerver I cant seem to get into the middle room where the stairs are in the alien ships.  Thinking the doors where just small I crouched and stuff but I just cant do it.  Ive managed to throw grenades in and stuff.  I know the alien is up there as I have seen him.

Every time there is a ship it seems to be a night mission and maybe I just cant see something im supposed to.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanx.

Discussion / When you see some alien?

« on: September 12, 2010, 10:10:43 pm »

Hi people, (1st Post)

Sorry im i'll ATM but getting better i think so my typing might adrift.

Anyway, I've been playing X-COM - EU for on and off ages and thought the other day that there should be remake or new front end for it.  Turns out there is'ish.  Well so i've been playing this one and im getting into it big time.

Problem is i started it on easy (no the sure easy ) to get to know it andf i fond i can only get 10000000 credits. Why is that? is it because i started on easy. I assuming it will be because its on easy but im not sure, maybe im just to tight to spen money, because after lots of deaths on EUknown I was more savy on the moneyb spending.

Also see when it says some can see an alien can, if theris, anyway i can see what there seeing.  Sometimes the red line dissapears, but Udef had wee pink things that flash that i couyld click on, so just wondring.

I cant sem to get any HWV is their any.

I understand that some of this might be in the manual however i dont know if its just me but i dont see some of the maual it says it cant be found. is this right?

I have a lot more questions but dont think im in te right forum... Took ages to work out how the rf works, but i have it np.

Oh If I have 30 scientists working in 1 bas and 10 in the other does tha equal to 40???

Before i go on well to long ,
bubye.
