- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+118DGhost, you forgot about the two-room addition to your house and the miniature space shuttle you constructed in your backyard
- idandfei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+82Wow dude, you've got a lot of time on your hands.
- krakkinem, on 10/12/2007, -3/+77You're so industrious, DGhost. I would have spent that time smoking pot and watching TV.
- DGhost, on 10/12/2007, -2/+75I had to wait three weeks for a satellite connections. I used that time to add water cooling to the PC, I installed a dual video card monitor, networked three PCs together and took the time to make sure all the cords, wires, etc were hidden, twist-tied together and then I got bored and started working on websites in Dreamweaver that I could upload as soon as I got a connection.
I tried all those radical CSS designs that I never found time for when I was online. Then I made sure they validated and passed usability requirements. I created how-to guides and documented every step.
I also build model railroad dioramas, so I took all the pictures I had and edited them for the web and to make them more useful for my model RR site. That took some time and I learned quite a few Photoshop tricks. - jokerthief, on 10/12/2007, -1/+74Next time you don't have internet access do you think you could work on a cure for cancer?
- RadiantBeing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+73#7 Get work done. I have a PC that has no network connectivity that I use purely for work. I get a ***** done when I'm not getting news updates, checking email, IMing, etc.
- Nickatnite101, on 10/12/2007, -3/+73The internet is for porn, and your computer is for internet.
- cptn_cardboard, on 10/12/2007, -3/+597. silently think of all the awesome things your gunna do on the internet when it comes back on while occasionally muttering "oh yeah" and "thats gunna be so cool"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5211. Play a single-player game (Oblivion)
12. Organize your music library (artist names, album names, check for duplicates, album art)
13. Watch a movie
14. Do that project you've been procrastinating
15. Think about how cool it would be if you HAD internet - damentz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+53Try downloading more ram.
- drizek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+51Im supposed to be doing homework right now...
- cuoops, on 10/12/2007, -1/+42go to windows explorer and start double clicking on everything
- idandfei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39I won't have my internet connected for 1 or 2 months at my house. The internet service in Japan is awesome, but it takes forever to get hooked up. I was hoping these recomendations would include some sort of long term activities, but it did give me a few good ideas for the short term.
- sufferwell, on 10/12/2007, -4/+386 things to do to stay alive:
1. Breath every few seconds
2. Sleep on a regular basis
3. Eat when you're hungry
4. Relieve yourself when necessary
5. Wash regularly - funkspiel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34Whatever happened to good old masturbation?
- dudemanbro, on 10/12/2007, -7/+39Or go to the library and get an actual book...
- DGhost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31No time for serious stuff like room additions and space shuttles when you've got hobbies. ; ) Seriously though, waiting three weeks for an Internet connection seemed like an eternity. Boredom is a great motivator, well, that and insomnia.
- EvilDr.X, on 10/12/2007, -6/+37"If you like reading you might wander over to one of the many free ebook sites..."
Won't you need an internet connection for that? - HotGore, on 10/12/2007, -3/+29All that porn you have saved on your hard drive.....
- adidos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+267. Go to an internet cafe.
- namae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25Does anyone do BACKUP anymore? It would seem like the perfect time to me. So make THAT number 1.
- playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25Obviously he still has it now...I was assuming he'd download a few of them to have when the connection ceased.
But you're right, if he waits until he doesn't have a connection it'd be a little late. - davodavo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26jesus christ...50.44 seconds to scroll through my bookmarks.
I'd better get to work. - ij00mini, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24That would've been a better joke if your Username was "JesusChrist"
- wiredclimber, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26This guy has a point
+1 to you sir, +1 - Grimdotdotdot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25"6 things to do to stay alive:

5. Wash regularly"
You'll die if you don't wash regularly? - playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21If you like reading you might wander over to one of the many free ebook sites and download something that will keep you entertained for weeks. They pack a lot of knowledge in a pretty small file--unlike video/audio files--and you can fit thousands on your hard drive. Try Project Gutenberg to get caught up on the classics; other options exist for more recent material.
- mindsnare, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19never mind my comment above, I'm an idiot.
let's just say I'm drunk - ModernTenshi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1716. Get drunk to pass the time.
- dtfinch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Stare at the screen, occasionally reopening firefox or thunderbird out of habit forgetting that my internet connection is down.
Rewatch some of those funny/cute japanese video clips that consume half my hard disk.
Do some real work.
Stare at the screen some more.
Open firefox out of habit a couple more times, again forgetting that I'm offline.
Troubleshoot my internet connection.
I wonder how many people bookmarked the list, for when their internet connection goes down? :) - dacheetah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15@broomett:
"Notice none of his options had anything to do with socializing at all, let alone with a female."
I don't think he'd have been dugg up if he said "I had to wait three weeks for satellite, so I spent 20 full days making sweet love to 20 beautiful girls, and on the last day recovered by setting up water cooling for myself, my PC, and it's new dual-video setup, and threw some well hidden network cable between a few computers, then wrote some CSS and photoshopped some trains"
I also wonder if people on digg who comment on how someone probably isn't getting laid, are like the people I've met who make the comments in real life. They are usually directed at someone who isn't going to brag about their sex life, from someone who clearly would, if they were to ever get one. - OverThere, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16yes, but only if you canned air upside down, or if you are a retard.
(my apologies to all the actual mentally disabled people out there) - idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14College essay... or Quake...
Hmm... - Dundasbro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Honest to god my internet crashed for an hour as this page was loading. I know it isn't believable but I was so pissed off at the irony :(
- danjal, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18man if i was in japan, screw using my pc! i'd be out living it up!
- GawtMilk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15OMG AIR PEW PEW PEW!!
No. Unless you do something stupid like, say, leave the can on your processor or GPU when you're done. - n3xu5, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14I'll digg this so I can use it when I have no connection
- danakin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+126: OK, not the smartest move. Just make sure you follow his advice and hide the piece of paper like the Holy Grail.
- bennybertow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10"I was hoping these recomendations would include some sort of long term activities"
Well, organizing my bookmarks would easily take a few days... Though I think it's tough to organize them without a connection, as with some links I wouldn't know what's behind them. - marnaq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9It was. When something is brilliant and we want to tell the author, we just use thumbs up button.
- swOhio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11"I cleaned out enough dust to build a rabbit hutch to keep all the dust bunnies in."
+digg - awm4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I find that I am actually the most productive when the internet is down.
for ex. I am not on Digg when the internet is down. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10It's called leprosy
- dvdcpu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8The whole 'diggers have no life' thing is getting really old. Even if it's an accurate representation of the majority of digg, it's stale.
- DreKor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8what about it?
- bmartin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@dvdcpu: Fragmentation occurs because Windows' NTFS doesn't write all files contiguously. It's analogous to the paging technique used in your computer's memory. Since the data belonging to a single NTFS file isn't "all lined up in a row", that's when you need to defrag your hard drive. Have you ever used Linux? There's no defrag.
- Humptydank, on 10/12/2007, -2/+91. Nothing
2. Nothing
3. Nothing
4. Nothing
5. Nothing
