in India, we have abysmal connections with FUCKING tiny limits.

Yes I'm that pissed about the situation

Actually there is none, it's just some kind of comparison of how much you use against your peers.

one of our leading ISP advertises a 4Mbps plan heavily

We've been close to the yellow zone but that's about it so this system rarely should lock us down.

Ouch... :-(

what those fuckers don't advertise is that the FUP limit is a PIDDLY 20 GB

But I think that the SC II download will spike the thing into the yellow / orange zone.

SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE FUCK. 20 FRIKKING GB.

you cross that limit and the line drops to 256 Kbps.

Ouch... :S

NOT even fucking 256KBps. breathe

there's a huge campaign going on, which is gathering steam

Yeah, we had that too...

More and more campaigns to get rid of the F****** limits.

And now we're FINALLY on FUP which seems nice for the moment being as we never go too high on it...

hope something like that comes to us too. Getting decent 'net connections is like a luxury

1 MB/s regular now :D

nice.

first draft of my CV

careers.stackoverflow.com/sathyabhat

Faster than P2P as that went to 800 KB/s (and sigh, I hate the upload)

nice

suggestions welcome :-s

this is the first time, I'm preparing a CV.

ever.

Mine here: careers.stackoverflow.com/tomwij

Pretty boring if you ask me... :D

hehe

mine's nothing spectacular either :P

one problem with dealing with enterprise apps

Your CV looks detailed...

its........ mundane

need to spend more time in SO

I want to spent more time everywhere...

Doing too much at Programmers.SE

Well, might be elected so I keep doing effort there.

:12683 cool

how many votes did you get for your mod position ?

-4 * 2 - 1 :-(

My first two downvotes were -2 due to bogus reasons (Pavel Schved misinterpreting my comment and Mark Trapp saying that I haven't been in the private beta)

I tried to politely defend that in a comment and only got downvoted further, decided to delete my nomination.

ah

renominated again then ?

Explained all that in the comments to the question itself, that I couldn't be in private...

ok

And made a new nomination...

Take took it wrong again, and got downvoted.

link me to it

So

Have let it rest for a time... Made a new one again now.

It's again at -1 but the Pro Tem has happened already so I might suspect that the question became less useful.

But...

ok

There will be more formal elections in the future which should give a more fair voting result.

ok

It's so stupid that not being able in the private beta (because Area 51 allows you to only commit to 3 sites) doesn't give you a fair chance.

So well...

I deleted my comments where they don't disrupt the message flow and my two answers (which there comments) are deleted too.

Uh well... As said, it's something I just let rest.

:)

And I'll hear about it when the time is right...

39 mins it says now :O

sweet.

now70 mins :(

It's fluctuating a lot, hmmz...

well I'm out. have a good weekend and have fun @TomWij

btw when did the upload image come to chat ?

Recently I think...

Have fun too.

35 mins ETA

cool

cya

read your tweets till then :-)

paper.li? xD

or create your tweetbook

tweetbook.in

My paper.li still shows Saturday, Sep. 18, 2010, FAIL? :-(

:P

Omg...

A chocolate bar without a bottom, fail... >_<

Had the same one yesterday, guess they were out of bottoms. :D

Pretty annoying, as I have to open the package upside down or the inner filing will leak. >_<

@Sathya: A refresh helped, I'll look into tweetbook.

:12730 have fun , cya

Cya

Hmm, my laptop plays sound even if volume is at 0, funny. :D

lol... wired.com/epicenter/2010/09/…

Tweetbook is my own tweets, meh... :D

hmm ... maybe moving messages should re-fill the room with the older messages :)

another minor bug ?

there, better now. Well, for me atleast

just press F5

or, load older messages

Marc just moved a whole %&$%load of messages to another room

are all these messages logged in the database?

yes

They're written immediately or as a scheduled job ?

they're written immediately, but (assuming 100% cache hits) only retrieved once per web server

this is behind a load balancer, so it has to be available immediately

each message is an individual insert, I'd assume given that each message has a permalink

:12916 yeah, no doubt
