It was a nano-vending machine :) But six or seven people for a week--man, at vending machine prices, that must've cost a fortune!
Maybe the fireplace was using cold fusion? :)
This movie is starting to sound like a good idea. . .
The movie didn't display ignorance of just basic weather science... it displayed amazing ignorance of the technology used in weather science.
Hey there... [sigh] this whole access-to-FR issue from da waterin' hole is really becoming an annoyance.
Get this: I can't even get to FR from here anymore. It worked for a little while earlier tonight (so they aren't explicitly blocking it) but then it just started to hang as time went on.
But: My internet connectivity is solid. Any other site loads at T-1 sorta speed.
Now: Just to prove my point.... I'm posting this by opening a VPN connection into my office, and then opening a remote desktop session on one of my servers... and now I'm browsing quite successfully outta California.
I'm tellin' ya... WayPort has HEAP BIG DNS problems, and they're just not listening. [sigh] [sip]
I feel better now.
Might just work... they're all in California anyway.
The weather was using Stealth cloaking :)
BTW, the disaster in that movie was Jesus and Bush's fault, according to the liberals in this thread (which is in serious need of some FReeping):
Jesus is responsible for Global Warming
For the apotheosis of absurdity see esp.:
BTW it doesn't mention Darksheare, but I suspect he was involved, too :)
I love bad science movies!
Let's see. There were two interesting previews with mine. "Cellular" looked like a good renter, and "I Robot". Did you have that preview? Asimov's spinning in his grave, but it ought to be worth watching.
It's the only one I've tried that I can't get to.
It's bizarre... I flushed my own dns cache... I can ping it without trouble. It does resolve OK, but it doesn't ever load in a browser. Eventually it just 404's. Really odd.
How odd. And very frustrating.
AT&T never believed me when I had bad DNS juju issues... It didn't get fixed until that major system crash of theirs when whatever was messed up before finally blew up along with the store, I guess.
it seems as though there is no simple anwser to how to pronunce "Qatar" Everyone up north says "cutter", or "caa-ter" the people working here on the base say it just as I would assume ka-tar but who really knows. It is much like the mystery of the tootsie roll pop....the world may never know. Talk to ya later
Steve
Well thanks for that answer to the most important question!
Stay safe friend!
Huh, weird. Does Windows have any utility such as traceroute, which will report back the hops that a packet makes on its way to its destination?
DNS probs are sometimes the most frustrating at all... mainly because there are thousands of ways for name services to "slightly" fail, and sometimes they're really tough to track down.
Usually though, it's because of traffic. Nameserver gets hammered with too many requests too fast... and start responding erraticallly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And diagnosis tests like PING and TRACERT always work because they are either given a higher priority or are more tolerant of slight delays.
Solution: Buy another stinkin' box. Bigger, better, faster, more. Words to live by.
What did the preview look like?
Hey there Army! Good to hear from you.
How about we all just agree to call it: "Bob".
Werks fer me.
Hm...just FR?
Tinfoil hat time? ;-)
