I Just Got Hi-Speed Internet! What Should I See First?
Just got cable modem installed! I'm very excited... there are all sorts of things that I haven't been able to look at and sites I haven't been able to experience on dial-up. So... what site do you recommend I visit first?

5. That's What I Was Thinking
But what, specifically?

PS - Non-porn answers are okay, too.

6. Download Kazaa at Kazaa.com
Edited on Tue Aug-24-04 03:44 PM by shylock1579
any porn or any other movie/song/commercial/funny video/game you desire will be at your finger tips. I have every episode of south park, EVER on my computer. Also every episode of Jackass. Believe it or not, I have actually grown TIRED of porn, due to Kazaa. Seems impossible, huh.

edited for spelling

11. WARNING !!!!

Kazaa is spyware. You will end up with you're computer all gummed up with junk. All of the other P2P programs are ALSO spyware.

USENET is a better source for, errr, media content. Just download quadsucker and it will take care of re-assembling files for you.

I'll echo your statements on porn. It gets boring once you've seen enough. I think this is the whole point of making such expressions forbidden. It's to deny us the truth of our human condition.

Over in Europe, they are SATURATED by porn. But it's honestly no big deal. It doesn't harm kids. It doesn't increase sex. It doesn't increase teen pregnancy. DENYING people porn seems to have those effects because it makes people uptite and ignorant about the whole subject.

BTW, Bangbus.com is still kinda interesting :evilgrin:

And so cruel! I always wonder if those women are actually actors or not, they get so suckered. er.. no pun intended. You can get thsoe vids off of kazaa. But yet, you will get a ton of other crap on your machine.

18. Well, they need release wavers to publish that stuff ..

So I suspect that they probably have to go back and pick up those women after they're done in order to get their release waivers signed.

I really can't imagine that these women would consent to filming porn for only a few hundred dollars. At the same time, most of these girls seem pretty damn stupid. And it's difficult to ACT naive when your in the know AND stupid.

If it's true??? What can you say other than don't get in vans and fuck strangers for $200 dollars.

24. I don't believe winmx contains spyware.
If you're interested in (legal) music file-sharing, these guys are great, totally above the board, they only have live music from bands with taper policies a la the Grateful Dead (although it's not only jambands)---

7. www.89.com

Your first stop in the world of risk-free porn consumption :evilgrin:


Seriously though, web-surfing is SOOOO much faster on broadband. I would suggest that you try www.avantbrowser.com to manage multiple windows of content.

Of course, updating your software and drivers will be a LOT easier now. You can purchase software online. You can purchase mp3s online at Apple, MusicMatch, etc...

15. I'm guessing you'll use the Internet a whole lot more.
Back when I had 56K, I avoided the internet unless I had to use it. When I went to college last year and experienced Ethernet, I found DU and became an addict.:)
