I despise wireless.
The good news is I told my wife I'd buy her a manicure/pedicure/spa package if she'd let me re-arrange some things in the apartment and she agreed.
You need to get an app, that either comes with your wireless card or find one online, that shows you what channel you neighbors are using, if they are. If you and your neighbors are broadcasting on the same channel, it could cause problems...This is true. I had to change my wireless router's channel a few times before it would work with my wife's laptop (we're in an apartment surrounded by other residents' routers).
Also, I would never talk to these neighbors.
Wired isn't much of an option for me. We're in an apartment, we have 2 computers and only 1 cablemode/router location which isn't by either computer.What about running the cable across the ceiling?
Moving my computer to the wall where the coax outlet is isn't an option because my wife would kill me.
Running a cable under the carpet is... not only a pain in the ass, but then we have lumpy carpet (again, wife would kill me).
And what do you think happened, let's take a poll. Why does >U/Riley/Anonymous Monolith employee hate Valve so much? Is it:I think you nailed it with the last one, though the Tickle Me Elmo was for him.
a)He was fired from Valve for being "too difficult" to work with.
b)Gabe stole his girlfriend in high school.
c)Robin Walker ran over his dog.
d)While shopping in Kirkland one Christmas, Gabe stole his parking spot and then grabbed the last Tickle Me Elmo for his kid.
Given the fact that you made rash criticisms of TF2 earlier in this thread only to now retract them, you are certainly not a reliable or accurate judge of anyone else's sense or judgement.
Riley lacks the sense to work at a game developer, even as a receptionist.

You really like your little "gamette" term, don't you? I bet you think you're so smart for coming up with it (I can see you now, giggling like a schoolgirl as you type it from your computer in your parents' basement).Keep your erotic fantasies to yourself. You're the one beating yourself off over it, not me. Besides if you like giggling schoolgirls, talk to Dacock. I'm sure he'll do you if you whisper sweet nothings about Valve in his ear. Ask theyarecummingforyou too, and you can have a threesome.
Look at the gamespy stats - some games (like Halo) have their demo still tearing up the charts long after the game disappears.Halo for the PC is still sold at retail. So, its demo is still a relevant marketing tool for the full game. Plus there's nothing wrong with giving consumers a free taste of a game they can play indefinitely. Sure game development is a business, but it doesn't have to totally be about maximizing profit.
That was going to be my advice too. Honestly, if people weren't so obsessed with wireless, my troubleshooting at work would be cut by about half. But no - their neighbor has it, their fried has it, and their son has it, so they have to have it too.
