DrLiew 11/9/2003 5:52 PM ok

DrLiew 11/9/2003 6:01 PM I have a better method.

DrLiew 11/9/2003 6:02 PM Install Windows ME operating system in Matrix. Muahahaha.

michaelooi 11/9/2003 6:03 PM i was thinking to appoint tmnet as machine’s ISP … but it would be hard to convince the machines to agree … heheh

DrLiew 11/9/2003 6:04 PM No ler, just plug TMNet’s CEO into Matrix and he will bring down the whole internet/matrix all by himself.

michaelooi 11/9/2003 6:05 PM i don’t think he’s that smart .. doc ….probably the sentinels will get to him before he even can hook up the networking line …too slow … LoL

DrLiew 11/9/2003 6:05 PM lol. slow is good. when sentinels came into TMNet, it will all be slow-motion.

michaelooi 11/9/200 6:06 PM fren … when sentinel comes … it would be reality ler … no more matrix ….

FYI, TMNet is our Malaysian ISP that gives us the service to get online and also to get pissed. Yep, that’s right. Get pissed. Why? Because every time we try to get online or hook up the net, we will get problems like denial of service, slow connections, mail server unavailable or a broken monitor (apeshit kick when user is over-pissed).

When I was in my dial-up years, I had to dial repeatedly for about a few million times before I could get myself a 3 kb/s connection. And even that, I still had to endure the slow transfers and occasional disconnection. Downloading anything that exceeds 100KB would be suicidal. I was left with no choice but to stop paying for the service until it eventually got cut off. I would resort to using other people’s ID to get online, I was really low.

It was only many years later, that our ISP offered the broadband service called ‘Streamyx’, with purportedly more stable connection and of course, faster connection. No shit it was an attractive offer. Thinking that they could have improved over the years, I signed up for an account… and that was a couple months back.

So how did it fare? It was the fucking same man. Still sucked like it was. TMNet is a downright hopeless and probably is one of the most fucked up ISP in the world. We Malaysians may have the highest building in the world, the longest bridge in Asia or perhaps the biggest asshole on planet Earth… but still, our internet connections would not advance beyond the level of medieval.

I can imagine if TMNet were to be the appointed ISP for Zion. Following scenario would have transpired. (If you do not know what is Zion… shame on you. Go find a nearest toilet bowl, put your head into it … and FLUSH).

Neo : I know what I have to do. I need a fucking ship to the machine city …

Captain Niobe : Neo, u can have my ship. I have faith for you.

Neo : T…T.. Thank you. I won’t disappoint Zion.

[Hours later]

Neo : Damn it. Where am I? The GPRS is down again… and I don’t have a clue where I am. Goddamn TMNet. I have to ICQ Morpheus for help [begin to message]. FUCK! I CAN’T EVEN FIRE UP MY ICQ!!!

Trinity : Dear … could it be Captain Niobe’s hardware gone cuckoo? You better confirm that with someone.

Neo : [SMS Morpheus with mobile phone] dude… ur streamyx working ?

Morpheus : [SMS reply with mobile phone] down. cant link to matrix. many ppl stuck. fuck tmnet >:-@. t8ke care.

Neo : Arrrgghh! This is all TMNet’s fault! We’re not gonna make it to the rave party at Zion! AARRGGHHH!
[Ship crashed. Neo croaked. Zion croaked with him]

I sure hope they’d realize about the importance of communication. I wonder when would TMNet quit dicking around and start to do things right… *Sigh*

*Sorry. Still can’t get over Matrix yet.
