The last time I transfered 4GB in one second was yesterday, when I
gave my friend a freshly burned DVD; does that count?

This is a 6GB file compressed in less than 5kB :
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pearpc/pearpc-6gib.img.bz2

Does that count ? :)

Correct!

Q: How do you transfer over 4GB in one second?
A: by handing them a dvd

We have a fork! And an additional challenge: who can answer questions
on all the subthreads on the same time and make the thread single
again? (I have absolutely no idea for my question, BTW).

We all know that posting here pretty much means we're procrastinating with
our projects, but this is just a new level.

Truly.

Not true. Maybe I'm the only one, but I typically come here during
breaks between long coding sessions, as a way to wind down a bit. I
generally consider any activity performed during break time to most
definitely be useful, because without breaks you go crazy. Also, a
lot of people post for help, without which they can't work on their
projects. Maybe you're procrastinating by posting here, but I don't
think everyone shares the same opinion. ;-)

Oh, come on, let them have their fun (which seemed to have ended
already anyways...). Although, I'd like to mention that if they are
going to go ahead a do the trivia game, they really should add "[OT]"
to their posts. Even though it's pretty obvious from the thread's
name that it's offtopic, it still polite to mark it clearly as such.

Sense of humour tends to be absent when patience is wearing thin ;)

START COMM SEQUENCE
Sense of humor? What is this "humor" you speak of? It does not
compute. Please explain in a logical manner.

It's possible on phpBB, where threading is flat. Grab quotes from
individual sub-threads within the flat thread, plop them in one posting,
and answer the questions. (Although, quoting is optional.) This is
normally done by people maintaining something important...

It's more difficult in Usenet, but don't be surprised if it gets pulled off
in the Google interface where some users think it's a web-forum of some
sort.

A better method is to use a 20-40GB PockeTec hard drive. It's faster as
you don't have to wait for ejecting/inserting the disk. Even if there is
spin-up time involved, it's probably not as long or loud as standard DVD
players/readers.

Either that, or you include RH-06 as a valid method of data-transfer.

Not really - while it may be possible to program for 6 hours a day, you
don't get much progress if you don't have some sort of plan or goal, or if
it involves massive tedious work of having to type in many related lines of
code that differ only by a small amount. (e.g. Upgrading SCthAngband's
option system to Angband-2.8.2 from the previous Angband-2.8.1
implementation.)

Even with WinMerge, this process is difficult. I've already been scanning
changes from 2.8.1 to 2.8.2, and been applying those same changes to
SCthAngband. Because of variant drift, there's been changes to some
underlying code that makes a direct port more difficult than it should be.

True. But that only proves that some people here have a very thin
natural patience...

I thought it a better use of a thread than the Twisted Test!

In my case I should be working :) Not playing RLs and reading rgrd...

Hey its a RL/Dev trivia contest covering RogueLikes and/or Development -
I'd say that's on topic, was hoping to learn a thing or two...

There seems to be no questions in all of this so;

Q: What size tiles does H-World the Jungle use?
(Hajo and Sheep excluded!)

A: ?

Actually, two of the questions posted are Off-topic and are deserving of
the [OT] tag. (Or at least they appear to be off-topic. )

This, on the other hand is valid. Can't answer it though...

My guess is 32x32.

Yes, you passed both ;-)

*Sigh*, I'm getting tired of this, ABCGi. I always considered this
group my home. My primary place for things I do... Now I'm getting sick
of it. And all thanks to a bunch of ... ah, whatever. I think I'm taking
