The uni I went in, which is/was the best engineering uni of Portugal was the only one in the country that teached scheme and that used it as an intro level language I never saw it used anywhere else either, all other engineering colleges in Portugal use Java or C for most of them as an introductory language...

It's a pretty useless language imo and very frustrating to learn which is why I think most people fresh in college have huge issues with it. I just wish I could have started with Java or C like all the other :(

I took scheme for 4 semesters in college because thats the number of times I failed it, I can't get my head around that stuff, I hate it with a passion, it was part of my introduction to programming subject so I never really got past that. I passed the project 2 times and those 2 times I failed on the exam, the other 2 times I passed on the exam and failed on the project, talk about luck.

I wish you good luck but I don't think I can help you else I would have to commit sudoku if I had to code in scheme again.

It's pretty standard, I have a slightly higher speed on contract but the actual speed that gets to my home is about 8-10Mbs Mb/s Download, 0.7-0.8 Mb/s upload. Which is why I find it so strange.

I actually work for my ISP so I'm kinda up to date with this stuff, and I got 2 different teams coming over in the past and they couldn't find anything wrong with my whole installation.

So this has been happening to me for a few months, I have random huge ping spikes, from 60 to 500 ping and back to 60 and sometimes only spiking between 80 and 110.

Whenever I have any page with a youtube video open or any stream open or any streaming or video playback site open my internet will start to have huge lags and ping spikes, even spotify affects it albeit lightly. I am pretty sure its this because all it takes is to open a youtube video while ingame and watch my ping spike to 500 and back to normal, and back to 500 or 100 or 200 or whatever it feels after that.

I was using a wireless connection through my desktop all this time and I figured it might be it, but today I finally got a cable long enought and linked my pc through it and it looks better obviously but this is still happening.

Anyone had problems like this? Figured a solution? Is it my router problem? THe internet itself? Im pretty sure my pc is clean and set up properly because Im kinda tech savvy and its a few months old pc anyway.

It's infuriating that a bunch of stubborn old men with archaic beliefs can ruin the lives or projects of so many innocent people. I feel for you and hope it doesn't actually delay your goals too much.
This situation sucks and I hope it doesn't actually set a global precedent because it can have a global ripple effect and impact if these crybabies get what they want.

Amazing work megawac!

Amazing! :) Thanks, just noticed now!

Can you make it a bit more streamlined like the chrome version aswell? more stylized and allow for notifications, etc... Anyway thank you very much!

I'm going a bit offtopic here and I agree with you that illegal drug dealing online is still illegal drug dealing, but don't forget that a market like this can actually have a positive effect on society (ie: decrease the number of drug related crimes) because people get what they want more easily and safe than any other "street" way.
I'm for regulation instead of prohibition tho, I think it would work in favor of society in the long run in all fields (health, economy, etc...)

If it didn't crash completely after silkroad went down then that means its not dependent on drug related markets, the currency has been more and more reliable as time goes on and people trust the currency more.
That's all it needs to work after all. Trust from the market that it works and has value and therefore it will work and have value, like it currently has. If you're gonna go for the obvious troll bait at least try to make it a little bit less obvious.

Well there was much speculation that silkroad and the other drug related markets were the ones holding the currency together, this week it was demonstrated it's not. Also they were arguably the major trade volume markets in the bitcoin currency, silkroad alone was estimated to have handled a total of 1.2billion $ in bitcoins since its start.
And I'm happy for it, we really need a independent currency not manipulated by exterior interests

That was the expectation of many people but actually the market recovered and is recovering really well after silkroad closed

I'm genuinely sorry, :( I was a bit cranky yesterday night and my last posts were dumb, please don't take these posts as a representation of comp.tf in any way

Other than this thread where I was really dumb I don't get your point but ok, thanks for the consideration.
