Can you confirm how much grazing land I will need for BuffaloPower over Ethernet? I really want this phone system but am concerned I wont have enough feed to support it.

That office sends about a hundred of these a day to their clients, and the phone number is the only point of contact on them, so I got onto it.

It'd been wrong since August. August, 2007.

Please tell me that when you leave you will stay in contact work some poor soul that is still working there so we can hear about the fallout.

Also, what ever happened to Dicktramas old work. Did his replacement give up?

Way late on this one but that has to be a filipino thing. We have a filipino senior marketing executive who stopped a meeting cold because they accused our creative team of sketching a headshot for a profile page mock-up with "chinky-eyes". The team of mostly caucasians had no idea what to say until the executive laughed and told the group to continue.

Filipinos do not hold Chinese in high regard because the Chinese have a long, sordid history of treating Filipinos like poo poo. And I say this as a half-Chinese who has seen the crap Filipinos are put through working for relatives in Hong Kong.

My brother got into a fight with a Filipino in high school when the kid called him a chink and told him to "go eat some rice". We were both like, "What the gently caress? You're Asian too, dude!".

Good job, Office 365 Migration Team: I am genuinely impressed that you successfully migrated my Outlook calendar and personal contacts to the cloud without losing anything.

I am even more impressed that my network folder is there and all the folder structure remains intact.

Of course, it would have been nice if any of the files within those folders were uploaded, but that's just me being picky.

"We didn't have wifi back in my day. If we wanted data in another room, we carried the packets, by hand, uphill both ways in the snow."

My father used to deploy patches by chucking some tape reels into the back of his SAAB 96 and hand-delivering them around the country because sending them via the phone network (the only network) would have cost a lot more than a COBOL developer's salary plus km reimbursement. And it would have been slower as well since all the customers were within a 500 km radius.

The anecdote about the bandwidth of a car full of tapes? He literally did it, though it was a bit slower with a horse and buggy.

Also he only had simplex ethernet, uphill both ways in the snow :aaaaa:

I believe it was really common herr, especially back when phone lines were mostly copper installed when we still had a Grand Duke. (The guy who connected my ADSL line said he had to break into a box where the lock had an obviously hand-forged hasp. Yay living outside the public network.)

In high school when everyone had G3s but our network wiring was still shielded very poorly it was more reliable to send a freshman running across the building with a Zip Disk then try and share a folder and download it at the destination.

The "tapes in the back of a station wagon hurtling down the freeway" still holds. LTE tapes hold a poo poo-ton of data, and you can fit a lot into the trunk of a Volvo V70.

Roughly 11 uncompressed petabytes fit on the trunk of a 2005 V70. (Assuming optimal fit and full tapes)
