I play osu! on my laptop and as I have no wireless at my house

I play offline the majority of the time. It drives me crazy that osu! doesn't synchronize offline scores with online when I actually do connect to the internet. I have several A's and a handful of S's offline, but I have only gotten one S online so thats all I have according to osu!. Is there anyway to do anything about this?

No smartass comments about getting wireless and such ok?

Denied.
Shit happens if you don't have Internet.
Probably you type a Name at Offline Mode. You know what I want to say.

The main problem with this is that people could hack the scores when offline then come online and say hey I have 1337 S's.

If you can get an S one time, you can get an S a second time.

@ Gigaclon - very true
@ those - very difficult when you have internet very rarely

I'm no security expert, but there has got to be some kind of implementable encryption that will prevent you from messing with your saves and thus make offline submissions safely syncable. I just think that the priority level for this wouldn't be particularly high and thus implementation would be placed behind a whole slew of other TODOs. Maybe precisely describing such a system would speed up the process? Iono.

encryption/security is not a problem at all. the problem is that i wish for osu! to remain an online game, and don't want to move away from this idea.

It sounds like you could use a wireless router, you should see if you and the roommates can't chip in together to get one.
