In my role as the CP MD, in this situation I would recommend gin. Lots and lots of gin.
That'll be 12 guineas, pay the receptionist on your out. NEXT!

I think the tipping point was finding out that that thing bieber has had more number ones than Led Zep and AC/DC combined

So in the ever on-going wars of my kids circumventing internet safety fences (another story entirely), I have discovered I can use my cellphone as an internet access device. Yes, I know, late to the party. But what surprised me is the performance. My wired provider gives me 20Mbs down / 1.5 Mbps up.
On my cell phone (using it now), I'm getting 15Mbps down / 3+ Mbps up.
That's stunning. Maybe it's 5am and it has no users, I'll have to continue to test. But, that's certainly fast enough for work.
Anyone else care to post their performance #s? I used speedtest.net (I'm on the east coast of USA).

Mine is 2GB, but for unlimited the cost is not that much more (for me).
What surprised me was the performance. And cost-wise, it's competitive with what I buy from AT&T.

Well yeah that's truely impressive but not uncommon if you have 4G LTE.
The theoretical transferrate for dl is 100MBit as far as i know
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

What also would be interesting is: How is the latency?
For small packages a high latency is still not very desirable...
|
|

well, the latency was interesting. It was 5am, but I could play any of my favorite online games, no stuttering at all.

I don't have that kind of phone, never mind use it. But I've heard that the connections from these phones provide decent bandwidth but moderate and variable latency. So they're fine for uploading and downloading large files, browsing the internet, and generally doing work, but they don't work well for things like gaming, video conferences, even VOIP (because the packet latency jumps around so you get skipping).

"Scorch port with injured back points to Old Frank."(11)
This is Very Hard, so you need your Thinking Caps turbocharged.

It always amazes me the CCCs that DD thinks are Very Hardtm but are solved in nothing flat.
I knew I had no chance of an obtuse riposte to this one, as soon as someone had 'char l' the answer was obvious.
Sorry Dave, not hard at all
|
|
|
|

And yet one's I think are easy seem to cause the greatest trouble.
It is weird.

I'm reading CCC with hope that one day I will understand the question - as plain English...
|
|

It is plain English, it's just that the words are not in the order, or context, that you expect them to be. The clue is (usually) in two parts. One part consists of little clues that make up parts of the answer, for example the word "scorch" also means "char", in this case. The other part is the definition of the answer: in this case "Old Frank", Charlemagne was King of the Franks.

That's what I'm talking about - scorch !!! Never heard of. I have to open dictionary to understand the words. Than to make the groups out of it should take week (port -> L... I've no idea why). Mostly I can't see it even after someone solved it...
Maybe DD should do some CCC in other languages...

On board ships, they don't use "left" and "right": they use "port" and "starboard" instead because they are always the same relative to the direction the ship is pointing rather than the sailor. If the sailor turns round 180 degrees, his personal "left" and "right" swap over, but "port" and "starboard" don't. So "Hard starboard" means the same thing regardless of the direction any sailor is pointing. (And actually means for the ship to go left, not right, as it's an instruction as to which way to move the rudder!)

Thanks. I hope DD will use it again before I forget...
