I don't trust online translators, becasue google came up with something totally different, 'complexion lacks much'
I want someone who speaks spanish fluently to tell me what it means.

I'm not real sure. I got this message from a guy on kazaa, but I think he is saying that my connection was real slow, he wasn't getting more that 1k/sec outa me. Nor was anyone else becasue I am doing video editing right now and the video editing software is slowing down my computer, accessing teh hard drive and stuff, so the kazaa connections slow down.

Uhhh...I get "Your tacos are very bland."
OK...J/K
Idioms are funny  They can mean a lot of things depending on the context.
My wife says it means that "something is lacking".
If you're out at lunch, could be wimpy salsa!
On the WWW, 1kps could warrant such a comment.

did you tell him that you were video editing and that was probably why the connection was so slow? in that case, he was asking if you had a long way to go.

by the way, I don't think it was an insult. I mean, that's the kind of think you'd hear your grandparents tell you if you started an argument with them. since they consider themselves wiser than you because of their infinite experience, te falta much would mean that you still had years to go before you could reach their level...or something like that.
if I were to insult someone's slow connection, I'd say something like: "AOL es pa' maricas, huevon!!!"
@0! is for $#$%#, ##$@^&*!!
you get the idea   | |
