They tried but the kangaroos got aggressive, it was in the middle of their football field. Aussie rules!

Patch attempt failed on insufficient disk space.... :S Cleaned up a bit, restarted and okay.

However, found that EVE install dirs (TQ and Buck) have a bunch of *_win.patch files of large size hanging around. Once a client is all patched up, any particular reason to keep these around?

Its not _that_ big, bigger than usually not as big as fail incarna though if I remember rightly.

That was like your first girlfriend taking her clothes off and finding her bra was full of tissue (dumped her right after that, very dissapointed).


Incarna wasn't fail, actually one of the better these younger CCP dudes have made, most other been rubbish. It had elements of good, at least.

You dumping a girl because of the amount of content in her bra.. was your loss, and her gain. If you havn't found out yet btw, smaller breasts have their up sides. But I'm not sure you'd found that out anyway, seems you focus too much on the wrapping rather than content. P


I didn't dump her because she had small boobs, I dumped her because I lied :P anyhow we still sorta saw each other after anyway.

I was 11 she was 14 so fu :P


..this is getting better and better. Tell me more please.


Nah doesn't get any more exciting than that, I was a bet and she realised I was a nice guy. Also went out a with a couple of 16 year olds when I was that age too and a 21 year old asked me out and freaked out when I told her my age :P

Went out with an 28 year old when I was 18 and a 44 year old when I was 24.

Just liked the older ladies, now my mrs of 11 years is younger than me (only a couple of years)

Well think yourself lucky. I live in Norwich and was recently upgraded to 2.1 megs down, 0.4 up.

Originally the patch was only 1.2 gigs but then someone got their hands on some patch enlargement pills, late night infomercials ftw...

It would suck if the local phone exchange for your whole town burnt down three weeks ago, only 50% of connections are back, and your paying $10 for 300MB to get internet via your mobile phone.

SUCKS

As much as i hate to interrupt this fascinating discussion about everyone's internet speeds, nothing in the patch notes would explain 1.5 gigs.

Have any intrepid explorers searched the files for something we may not be aware of?

I am at the other end of the Principality and when the goats come down off Snowdon to gnaw on the telegraph poles my internet grinds to a halt.
