No it doesn't but implied doesn't mean certainty either, so maybe you should wait before shooting off down this avenue of discussion or at least admit at the moment this is all speculation.

P.S. - Yes someguy, I am indeed

#glasgow? Do you think i care that some people in a channel dont like me?
And for the record its the cuntos that dont like me i.e spooky, peakes and kwik. I dont have a problem with anyone else in there.

I noticed that you stopped coming to the channel. Why might that be?

And as for your exchange being one of the first in the country to be ADSL Enabled. If that is so, why have you stayed on dialup so long?
So you can continue to be the winging cunt that you are?

 

[Mr B]

Impending; "To be about to occur", "to be imminent"

The English language is very much a loaded weapon, be careful where you aim it.

As far as I am aware, only 2 GSP's are looking to offer P2P "options" to people in the near future, and within that context it will only be organised leagues (possibly including clan server rental) that will be P2P - the rest of their operations are Business as usual.

Reasons that I cannot go into with you. Prevents a lot of hassle me not being there, enough said.

Cos unlike cable, 'decent' ADSL starts at £60 per month can be up to £200 like Heid is paying. Double almost the price of BY cable. Horus I love the way you chuck the word twat and cunt about like you would say it to my face, fact is tubby, you wouldn't.

"Whinging"

[Ch3tan]

Okay back to the actuall debate, please read the latest comments on Arclights coloumn.

I would say 0wned but then I would be lowering myself to the level of this thread

 

[Embattle]

Can you post what you said here, don't want to bother looking at that tripe again

What, they dont like YOU?

Horus I love the way you chuck the word twat and cunt about like you would say it to my face, fact is tubby, you wouldn't

Actually I would. And you think calling me 'Tubby' is an insult?

Look everyone, this is the maturity level of Arclight.
Pretty sad, isnt it?

Gaz: "i even phoned microsoft and they said it was"
Suroh: i emailed MS about it and they backed me up

hahahahahaha

Arclight

 

[Mr_Horus]

I never called MS, i emailed them, and was proven right.

Now Arclight, why must you resort to IRC logs?
Is it because you can think of nothing to say yourself?

 

[Mr_Horus]

Tho i mentioned IRC logs there, i really feel compelled to post this.

<Horus|away> Arclight
<Horus|away> i like how you warp things on the forum there
<Arclight> no problem
<Arclight> keep you and your boyfriend happy
<Horus|away> boyfriend?
<Arclight> also
<Horus|away> i have no boyfriend
<Arclight> lol
<Arclight>
<Arclight> Embattle smooch smooch
* Arclight watches horus copy and paste
<Arclight>
<Horus|away> dont worry, I will
<Horus|away> again, your just showing what a complete and utter tit you are

Again, showing his famous maturity.

Mr owl says shush and get to bed.

I know this.

Cos he's my friend

 

[Ch3tan]

Arclight why have u not commented on the actuall comments to your colum?

HEre they are since you have updated your coloum already.

The first is about yours and Embattles attitude to the coloum.

Now now children! Comment by master_blaster - Thursday, August 30, 2001, 10:50
The comments on this page takes me back to my days in the primary school playground. I wouldn`t be suprised if you started the old "my dad`s harder than your dad" debate soon :-P

The fact of the matter is that different people have different opinions and different ways of going about getting things done. Some people like to make themselves heard if they want something changing (embattle) and others sit back and either wait for someone else to do it or just simply are too chilled to bother (Arclight). So stop ya bloody bitch fighting and just respect others POV`s. This doesn`t mean you can`t debate them but do it in a constructive and respectful manner.

I must admit that from reading your columns, Arclight, you do seem to have a problem accepting other people`s POV`s. You can`t be right ALL the time, you know? :-P I also noticed you were the first person to resort to personal insults on this whole saga and that usually indicates the other person has won the debate/argument and is slightly childish, wouldn`t you agree?

Now count to 10 you to and shake hands

Next one, now this is the good one, it refutes most of what you said, proves u wrong etc.

YOu replied to it as well, adn you reply is directly after it. H8 being proved wrong dont u? Maybe if u did some research before you wrote anything u wouldnt be wrong soo much.

Giggle Comment by mpw22 - Thursday, August 30, 2001, 20:44
Embattle was right though Arcy ;p

As an admin it constantly amazes me how many people use 24/7 dialups for league matches. It`s only people who consider themselves elite that will use an 0845 POP for the better ping. Even as high as division 2 you`ll still see a significant fraction of ISDNers playing off freeserve or even BTi. BTW many people actually find freeserve one of the best dialups, pingwise (for ISDN at least).

more hops that a pongo[/q]

And if you`re on modem, who gives a fuck about hops? 90%+ of your ping is in the first hop. Once you`re past the receiving modem, you can get through 30 hops in 20ms.

As HAQSAU has pointed out you should never run a server at more than 60% of its bandwidth[/q]

Fortunately Embattle has already pointed out the server rate cap. Take, for example, CTF: 10 players + admin = AT MOST 11 * 10,000 kbyte/sec = 110,000 kbyte/sec; multiply by 5 servers / box * 8 bits / byte = 4.4Mbit per box + framing overheads. I expect BW`s on full duplex, and client->server will be (quite a lot) less traffic (although in smaller packets hence less efficient), so the 4.4Mbit / box is the number that matters. Now, that gives them well over 100 boxes before they hit 60% of available bandwidth. They`re` some distance short of that.

The lag problems must therefore have arisen elsewhere. There`s three posibilities for this: BW`s core switch (shiny new(ish) thing, prolly not), Level3 switching, or Level3 peering. I personally vote for the latter.

Which is why Telehouse peering is A Good Thing (TM) - control over peering, gigabit access to most of London, and plenty of available national, european and transatlantic peering bandwidth to be got at.

BTW, how did you think i8 worked? I mean, 840 people, 100MBit LAN, that`s far more congested than BW who probably have fewer people at any one time on their gigabit backbone.

0wned[/q]

Yes, but who?

And here the famous Arclight responce when someone says something he doesnt agree wiht :/

Ch0rtl3 Comment by arclight01 - Thursday, August 30, 2001, 22:12
hmm mpw22. Maybe it was me but................

because i`m sorry you mix me up with someone that gives a fuck.

For me this pants has ended, say what you want when you like etc. Have a spot of tea and a picnic. Discuss it with the Queen in the forums, amaze him with your inner knowledge of barrysworld networking and the maths involved.

Its all become suddenly boring.

suddenly boring arclight? why is it boring? you thought it was interesting enough to write a coloum about?

 

[shabazz]

dont make me get the owl on you!

 

[old.ignus]

Erm.....Arcl1ght, bit of a hipocrite really aren't you. You come in here calling everyone a sad geek, yet you are the saddest geek of the lot of us. You talk about stuff that only someone who spends too much time on the net would know, and the words you use, very geekified.
Just try calling me a geek, I spend less time on the net than you do having sex.

p.s Shabazz lol

 

[Embattle]

Now count to 10 you to and shake hands

I'd rather count to 10 and see him blow up

 

[Mr_Horus]

Hey Embattle, wannafuck?
According to Arclight your my boyfriend.
Errr...aye...what a lamer

 

[Embattle]

Oh yeah big boy

Is he a Cassanova, or do you never surf the net?

K. Would have been funnier if it wasnt taking the piss out of those less fortunate.

Liked the caption at the bottom fromt he "Shut the fuck up foundation"

 

[Trebz]

Granny, pls dont post stuff like that on the boards, its not funny and i find it extremely offensive myself. Don't take piss out of those less fortunate than yourself, you may be one of them one day.

10 minutes every other night these days.

 

[granny]

Jesus, I wasn't taking the piss out of "those less fortunate" (why not use the words you're hiding eh, like "the disabled"?), I was taking the piss out of people who argue pointlessly on forums etc.

Touch of excessive PC-ness apparent here methinks.
