buahhahhhahhaaaa!

Well, this is what I do:

No TV.

In order to get all my other work done AND have time for the Internet (especially this infernal place) I had to give something up.... I don't watch TV.

Good luck, man!

 

[EmperorNero]

but I rarely watch tv in the first place..maybe except for when batman beyond is on . the problem is the internet, how do I stop using it so much? I have very little self control so I can't do it by myself.

Throw your computer out of the window.

Or you could always just shut the computer off.

Aren't we all addicted in one way or another. I mean last year I would sit down and watch good shows on TV now I'm shouting back and forth in the other room asking what was so funny.

Tis a sad thing isn't it.

You suck, no one here likes you, and no one anywhere on the Internet likes you. You most likely stink and really should go get a shower already.







really, just unplug the phone line for a while (don't turn it off or it cant be cracking rc5 hehe)

unplug all your computer components, move it out of your desk and put it in your closet or something. after you lose your withdraw symptoms, reflect on how better you life is without being in front of a computer all day looking at anandtech forums. this reflection is critical in the process. then you should be able to realize that life is 1. possible without computer obsession =P and 2. probably better.

option2: take out all the good things in your computer (e.g. memory, video card, dsl/cable) so that you get some software rendering, slow loading, slow internet connection computer. that way you'll get so frustrated with your computer that you'll only use it when you REALLY have to. and, another side benefit of that is that you can send all your extra computer stuff to me, and i will be happy to make good use of them!
