These are standard matches.

The others are safety matches.

I won't even pretend to understand what that means, but rest assured I don't believe for one minute that you can afford Calvin Kleins.

Now kindly fuck off, you do no favours by remaining.

I have to say the name 'megahard' doesn't do him any favours either.

Does it conjure up some sort of Decepticon* Phallus to anyone else?

*Transformers, obv.

 

[bigbb]

it also conjures up the quite awakening image of a quite substantial 'llama' running in amongst the machinery of the 'llama factory'.

Not quite to the intellectual standard of your 'conjuring' Kez but dats coz it's meh.

Modem speeds above 19,200 generally take into account compression techniques. If you are downloading large files that have already been compressed the real speed is actually slower.

Most of the internet content is pre-compressed, JPEG, MPEG, GIF, ZIP, and sometimes even Java applets, do not take advantage of modem compression, however, the volume of content is so small that it is hard to notice, it only comes to light during larger sustained downloads.

Additionally, 56k modems can alter the line speed dynamically, whereas your connection only reports the speed you originally connected at. Modem speeds are never constant, so the average download speed is normally much lower than the maximum connected speed.

The best way to judge your connection speed is using the graphs from System Monitor (SYSMON.EXE), or a similar tool. Show the download over a period of time, you'll see the modem constantly changing.

The reason why 64k ISDN is significantly faster than 56k, despite being rated only 15% higher, is because you get a constant 64k download that makes average speed over a long period a lot faster (at least 50% at my estimates).

me and a couple of mates melted loads in a science class way back in school days and the teacher noticed the room was really full of fumes. he stood us all up at the front of the class for a really big bollocking but after he'd shouted for a little while i started laughing my arse off uncontrollably cos i was quite high until he sent me out into the corridor

Similar thing here. I'd been a "naughty boy" so teacher kept me behind to perform some "tasks" for her. Unfortunately, she set me to work cleaning the whiteboard, which had accidently been written on in permanent marker, and after giving me the appropriately overpoweringly strong white spirirt, set me to work. I had the time of my life, half an hour of cleaning was never so much fun.
