Re: My IRC setup

Chargeling — Mon, 11 Aug 2014 16:14:19 -0000

I wonder: Did you not run into any bugs when sending query messages from irssi? Were they correctly displayed in Quassel?
I have the same setup, and I had trouble with that. I simply patched Quassel, http://bugs.quassel-irc.org... but I'd prefer to run Quassel from the debian repositories… Maybe you found a more intelligent solution for that?

What happens with vertically-oriented USB ports?

At first I thought I was going crazy when I saw a new comic today when I went to check the "what if", but then there was another new comic when I was done reading the what if. So i had no choice but to look into it..

Correct. I'd written this to be more easy to follow. Please also go read the case transcript for further information about who ran the script.

ICC-IDs aren't sequential, due to the Luhn check digit. Also, there's a clear distinction between "making it known" and running a script for days.

Re: Cellular data extortion(?)

Actually I quite like that comparison; both the problem and the solution are very similar to the issues surrounding supply / capacity planning for supermarkets. The problem is that the cellphone networks have been spoiled by following a captive sales model for such a long time that switching back to a higher risk model is not a very pleasant prospect, at least for them (and the consumer would presumably end up paying more too).

I don't think your comparison is valid. It's more like not being able to use a cinema ticket on Monday if you booked for Sunday; the cellphone network has to provide the service whether you actually use it or not, and I can see how having people sitting on huge amounts of unused data would make them extremely nervous.

If you want to compare it to supermarket goods, it would be like buying a voucher for a few 6-packs of milk every month without using it, then suddenly showing up a few years later and wanting 1000 bottles of milk.

Out of interest - the CINX graphs didn't do anything like that ... wonder if private peering is happening there instead.

Bitches about the numbers. I have them exactly like the prescribed format as per your (and their) example but it still bombs... Anyway - no sweat. I have mailed the coza support to find out why. Hell of an annoyance...

Re: .co.za domains considered harmful

froztbyte — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 06:54:10 -0000

Depends where it fails. The failure message /should/ tell you why it failed, but is not always very clear. If it's the number thing, it needs to look like this (quotes excluded): "+27.821234567"

That does sound like an approach that would currently be in place. Still, no need for the technical meltdown that way :)

I think they sell in batches so the regular phone-booking/brick n mortar bookings can be accumulated and then the amount of spaces available for web booking is released accordingly.

Your article is not worth proper English. If you were anything more than just a #hater then maybe people will take you serious.

Re: Queueing

froztbyte — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 03:12:37 -0000

Yup, surely I don't. But then again, you can't speak English properly. So I guess I'll take your opinion with a pinch of salt.
