They used an ACME Comet Chaser... The center of thrust was a little off-center...
But hey, now they caught up!
I give it another few hours before the comet goes *BEEP BEEP* and zips off into the distance, leaving Rosetta dazed and confused in a cloud of ice.

That would be tough!
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Movie Quote Of The Day
Get out! Get out before I call my dad. He trusts you; you're his best friend. This will be the end of everything.
Which movie?

That is strange! I just Googled "{YourQuote}" (with quotes i.e. exact search) (ok, I do it sometimes) and found this very post on the first page of the results but with "Dec 9, 2011" datestamp. 
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

I'm sure I saw the movie, but now I can't remember...

I've recently got fibre at home. Wired I get 95/50 mbps (my plan is 100/50), so that is good. Wireless I'm getting around 47/27. Realistically, what loss should I be expecting? At the moment we have the TV, laptop and Kindles connected to the wireless (rarely all at the same time). The laptop is 802.11n capable.
Is there a structured or automatic way to test / improve my set-up? I've been using inSSIDer to get onto the least congested local channels, is there anything else I should try?

Downdload Wifi Analyser app for your Android (Don't know if it is available for iOS or WinMobile), work to try and optimise the location of the wifi AP in relation to where you use the signals most.
It will also show you if there is channel congestion by neighbours etc. This allows you to select a different wifi channel which will also help.

As per Dave Auld, but also try to keep the router up high and away from walls.

After reading through the replies to DaveAuld's post from yesterday[^], specifically the comments about QA, I started wondering if we might be better off embracing the homework questions in a new way.
I don't see the rate of homework questions declining in the future, so what if there was a separate QA area specifically for them?
A QA area dedicated to answering basic questions from students that need a different explanation than what they got from their teacher. I know this already happens, but the noise level in QA is so high that a great answer to a question might not be found by other students with the same problem.
There are many dedicated members that do a great job of answering questions in QA every day, but I know there are other very qualified members that don't want to deal with the current format.
Let me be clear. I am not saying we should do their homework for them. In fact I think there should be a report option specifically for that, so those questions can be kicked back without even having to post a message to explain that. Couple that with the ability for Protectors to move questions from one area to another.
I am not claiming this is an optimal solution, but do you think something like that would make for a better or worse QA experience?

I think online chat would be nice.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Really?
If we cannot understand the questions in the written form, then what chances have we in the verbal!
|
|
|

No, don't get me wrong I mean something like irc.
The hamsters could add a special button "NEED CODEZ URGENTZZZZZ"

Online chat is a terrible idea. Who, exactly, would you connect to? Bear in mind that the people who answer questions are volunteers, and that this site is frequented by people from all round the world, the chances of you connecting to the person who is able, and has the time to work through the problem, is tiny.
So no, online chat is not an option.

My idea for the online chat was not for the QA. It was more for the Lounge and The weird and Wonderful. For sharing more interesting articles and other things. With my expierience irc is a really good time filler.
And yet again this idea may not be as good as it sounded inside my head.
