Looking for examples of someone (fictitiously) trying to sell something online, using copious amounts of foul language. Ex: "Holy shit, you've got to buy these motherfucking oranges, they are goddamn flavorful as hell." I know I've seen a few examples of this recently, but my google-fu if fail.http://ask.metafilter.com/101375/Holy-Fucking-Shit-This-Question-Is-Fucking-Lame two connections, one home- September 7, 2008 Because of all the crap thats going on with ISPs blocking BitTorrent users and putting in bandwidth caps, Im getting a second home Internet connection. Whats the easiest way to manage this, and is there a router (either hardware or software) that can be configured to send different types of traffic over different connections We have a SnapGear SG565 at the office, and this does a great job of switching over from one Internet connection to the other if one has a problem, but it doesnt seem to be.http://ask.metafilter.com/101117/two-connections-one-home Looking for a CMSweb-based software to manage regional event listings.- September 6, 2008 Looking for a CMSweb-based software to manage regional event listings. I'd like to build a site that lists car shows happening around the U.S. Ideally, I'd like to find a Wordpress-esque piece of software that can manage this for me, and offer things like Google Maps integration. Does such a thing exist, or am I going to have to roll this on my ownhttp://ask.metafilter.com/101057/Looking-for-a-CMSwebbased-software-to-manage-regional-eve... How to surf discretely at work- September 6, 2008 How to surf discretely at work Looking for a replacement for WorkFriendly and Ghostzilla... For the next few weeks I'll be working at a client's office. This client is a bit of a jerk about allowing us to use the Internet. I used to rely on WorkFriendly, but I see that's no longer online. Ghostzilla is no longer being supported, and GhostFox is filled with problems. Any suggestions on how I can find a good browser that can visually hide my browsing would be awesome!http://ask.metafilter.com/101030/How-to-surf-discretely-at-work Ambitious OH YES- September 4, 2008 Due to my nitpicks with Drupal, Joomla, etc, I want to learn to program a custom web content management system. I have very little programming experience, so where do I go from here Oh man isn't it annoying when some newbie says "I WANT TO PROGRAM" and expects you to point him to some magical book that will tell him exactly what to do... Well yes it is and here I am asking exactly that!

MyHQ is a web-based homepage that is simply lists of links that you can add to, customize, and organize into categories. You set it as your homepage, and voila!, every place you regularly visit on the internet is right in front of you. Their site is currently down, which has happened before, but this time I fear its for reals. I am literally lost without it (not to mention the 100+ organized links that I no longer have access to). This is different from..http://ask.metafilter.com/100860/Need-an-alternative-to-MyHQ-for-my-homepages Reliable, faster internet access from an apartment in Beijing.- September 4, 2008 Will be moving to Beijing and would like to have high speed reliable internet service in my apartment. We'll likely be living in one of the US or HK developed apartments along Chao Yang park. I've worked with DSL connections in serviced apartments in Beijing and Shanghai and was not thrilled with the throughput (70kbs) or reliability. The Great Firewall is not an issue as far as completely blocking sites, but I'm sure it affects transfer speeds from the US sites I'd be accessing. I've done some.http://ask.metafilter.com/100859/Reliable-faster-internet-access-from-an-apartment-in-Beij... Everyone loses...except the audience- September 3, 2008 I'm one of those people who takes "teh internetz" seriously, and nothing turns me on quite like a verbal smackdown for the ages.

Occasionally, when the wireless signal is low, I'll lose internet altogether.
