Default How many other people are bored of the internet?

I have found the internet to be extremely boring lately. I pretty much go to the same places every time, they would be:

1. Hotmail.com, gotta check the email
2. Mustangworks.com, see whats going on here
3. Ebaymotors.com, always looking for junk
4. Wellsfargo.com, see how much money i cant spend on car parts
5. Facebook.com, kinda like myspace

Thats about it, every now and then i also visit carcraft.com/mustangandfords.com and the like. It gets pretty routine/boring. I did just hear about a new site i think i might start checking out frequently, borowitzreport.com. Fake news, kinda like the daily show but on the web. Yeah, not sure why im posting this, maybe others have some cool sites or something??

As with everything else, the internet is what you make it.

Lets say you really liked pizza. Well, if you ate nothing but pizza 3 times a day, you would quickly get bored with pizza. It's analogous that if you insist on going to the same websites day after day, unrealistically expecting them to be vastly different each time, you will certainly become 'bored'. You have to expand your horizons a bit.

I visit at least 2 Mustang websites almost every day - but I also visit numerous 'politically-oriented' websites as well as sites that focus on some of the varied other interests I have - besides cars. I am never bored with the internet.

The most recent additions to my bookmarks are;

SAFE FOR WORK.

1) pixsy.com . Its a search engine. Type in what you want, then don't forget to click on the side bar for other info on your search.

2) Craiglist.org . Or just type in "Craiglist" and the largest town around you into Google. There you'll find more local junk to browse through.

....and after I go through my bookmarks im online in "Delta Force" JO IC mod. (Joint Ops International Conflict.) Killing as many 14 year olds as I can,

haha, nice mustangII460, i dont think i would have thought of that...Mr 50, i do eat pizza, hot dogs, and cereal everyday, still not sick of it. Normally i would have thought i would have been (or sick at least, i buy really cheap hotdogs) but nope, still going strong. Pizza a pretty sweet food group, (yes, food group) as there are tons of different choices. I definately know what your talking about though, i gotta start searching for new cool websites, or perhaps make one of my own....

I agree. That IS pretty sweet, Frank. I've got to try that.

Maybe you guys are bored because you're not looking up the boobie pictures? Or ARE you...? Pretty odd since they make up about half of the pornternet.

I only get bored with it when I've been on too long. That hardly happens anymore though, since I'm usually busy with college work and chasing tail.

I remember that kind of 'busy' ... . I don't bore of the internet, not yet.
I love using it for reference and communication. Just use it like a tool, not some much entertainment.

I seem to be on my computer quite a bit, really the only thing to do during the week between school and work. Weekends im very rarely online, since I normally either head to my parents house to work on my cars or go to a friends to party. (alot more of the party thing recently)

Looks sweet! AMD person eh... What ya think about the Intel Core 2 Duo Processors? What I heard awhile ago is that AMD is coming out with a 4 core processor or something? Ovbiously I dont know much about computers, nor do I claim too. I've just heard that the Intels are ruling things right now. I have wanted to build a computer for along time, though money has other ideas. (It wants to go to the mustang!) Haha, I was just at AMD's website and it says " AMD plans to offer processors with more than two cores in 2007." Funny to me. I really dont need a super computer, as I only really use mine for the internet, typing documents, and music (My sound keeps dying out on my recently, which sucks) I still want one though, haha!

How strange is it that I never knew you could basically have a radiator for your computer until I came to THIS website, of all places? I wonder how much all that set you back...

Unless you have really extreme demands and actually need this kind of computer power on your desk, which is possible, I suppose, this list is analogous to using a 1,000 HP drag car to commute to work - on secondary roads with 45 MPH speed limits. However, it's your perogative to spend your money as you see fit. Enjoy.

Well, I run 3 servers(teamspeak,ventrilo, bf2) for friends to play on at all times, build websites for friends on my off time, watch satillite and movies while I'm doing this, work from home for reg. job, and other things. The 60" will be to play games and other, I need to hook up my other 48" monitor to keep eye on servers while a working on other stuff and gaming.

With the cooling system for the computer I have seen as low as $100.
