The totally off-topic thread

[Flashback]

To get 24Mbps over WiFi implies no encryption in use. I can understand that in an airport lounge, but would expect you would have some encryption at home. And what sort of home internet service gets close to a real throughput of 24Mbps?

Ah, let me rephrase.

I'm lucky if I "ever get that speed" at home

What has happened to the English language. Have I inadvertantly stepped into a parallel universe where English is no longer spoken?

I am absolutely certain that I did not have anything to drink.

And I did not need Google to translate that for me.

Correct...but I was more worried about the mods

I must say that the wireless in the Skyview lounge (in SIN T1) kicks cough. I am torrenting and getting download speeds of up to 400 kB/s.

Compare this to the CX Lounges in HKG, where the speed was no faster than 50 kB/s.

Never tried torrenting in a lounge, but I have managed to achieve 1MB/s before, though never sustained. From memory, had slightly better in Hong Kong, but not tried it there recently.

I get a good laugh out of doing searches on Facebook updates:

Openbook - Connect and share whether you want to or not

It's amazing what information is available.

I saw that on the weekend, but searches for nude or naked came up with spam mostly

Searches for random topics like "Qantas" or "Virgin Blue" come up with interesting chatter. There are plenty more salubrious terms you can also search if you're bored (and look at the "recent history" to find some of them).

There were some strange items in recent history when I clicked on last night, but none of them found what I thought they’d find. Guess I’ve just got a dirty mind

I got 2MB/s in the ba f lounge on Saturday but only 900k at the jl f lounge...

Meanwhile the AUD is in freefall and all you care about is a dying game.

On reflection I am nasty.NSW has lost as often as the Aussie has gone into freefall
