I just love the fact it never crossed your mind to seek qualified medical attention.

You've got to laugh.

I use Transmit on the Mac. Or /usr/bin/curl on the Mac's CLI.

Filezilla?

Any common ground? Apparently, not really.

Ah, but she shall rise once more and my wrist will be spoiled for choice!

Add delivery and it's still cheap. Just remember, silix-watch is asian dross, silix-prime is ETA goodness.

Seiko Springdrive please.

Prune back. The less watches you have, the more you appreciate them individually.

It's a nice Sub, that's for sure. Precious Tim does the do. I'm still waiting for my TTK Cheap-ass Nubmariner to die so I can justify an Ultimate LV, but it just keeps going.

I agree, not that I claim to be anywhere close to expert as you, obviously. I'd say you're getting a decent Genuine that's had a bit of red ink waved on the front. I very much doubt he'd sell something that couldn't be authenticated as a real Sub. Admittedly, it's no double-red, but you'd get over $20K for a real DRSD.

Looks Frankenwatch to me.

And if they don't, you're not trying hard enough. When I lived in Glasgow (unusually the curry capital of europe) I liked my curries [censored]-rendingly hot. You get used to it after a few years. When I went to Thailand, I had a soup that made my eyes bleed and it was the spiciest thing I'd ever had, partially because I added ground chillis to it before tasting it. You will never get an Indian Curry as spicy as the napalm-and-ground-glass soups they serve in Thailand. To get back on topic, I'm going back to BKK in June. How does one get watches out of the country safely? Is it simply a matter of posting then home in jiffies?

Yeah, but you know I'm right.

That's the reason you keep a roll of toilet paper in the fridge.

That's not the important stuff. Here's what you need to know: You want to try the Tom Yun Goong and have it spicy. Be wary of anything pork-based that's not too well cooked and under no circumstances should you drink the water, unless it comes out of a bottle. If your drink comes with ice, take the ice out, as it's made from tap water. The last think you want to do is ruin your time in Jakarta through something you got in BKK, and you don't want to risk anything on the flight as your poor sphincter will already be tested by the hot food. Having a stop-over in BKK and not sampling some of the world's finest food would be a travesty of monumental proportions.

I'm on ADSL2+ in France. €30 a month for 24Mbps, 100 TV channels over DSL and IP Phone (free calls) ... oh, and a fixed IP with reverse DNS.

No dealer, except maybe Luckyyy, has a consistent supply from the factory. Subs from the same dealer even can change. There are basically 3 best subs. The cheap one for $100-120 that all the dealers have, the 'Ultimate' for $200, which is the cheapo with an ETA and the MBWs. It's like Graphic cards: once you spend a certain amount with a trusted dealer, you're not getting crap. All your request would do would be see who took the best pics. Like this: Real or gen?

Sorry, if it's not clear, use speed test. I was giving the hard-core solution. I must remember I'm not on one of my Unix/Sysadmin mailing lists.

Distance from exchange : 1195 metres Attenuation : 16 dB Attainable bitrate 1066 kb/s (up) 18353 kb/s (down) So, no, I'm not too far away. The problem is genuinely filling 18Mbps (the real speed of my 24Mbps+ connection) is not easy. My DSLAM is local, the line is clean, etc., but I'm not the only person on the internet. I'm what, 50:1 contention?

Home of The Big Mac?

That's because they don't use their own servers. They use Akamai who host local caches in almost every ISP on the planet. This means you get almost full-speed no matter where the servers you're hitting are.

I usually download several things at once just to make sure. Normally I'd do a developer's kit from Apple, because, like Microsoft, they use Akamai caching which gives you huge potential download speeds, and I grab a FreeBSD install ISO from the server that gives the best speed according to /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup and maybe something from somewhere completely unrelated, like ... um google video? All throughout this, I'd use net_snmp and MRTG to monitor my bandwidth on my server/router. As long as I can sustain over 12Mbps, I'm happy. My connection is supposedly 24Mbps, but I rarely peak close to 16-18Mbps.

Thanks for that. I love learning new stuff. It's strange the white-faced one sold so poorly. It's a stunner.

Esteban, in case you're new to Rep forums, I'll help you out here. The one question that is guaranteed to get you a little bit of stick is "Who's got the best Sub?" It's the question people ask when they're pretending to be a newbie. It's the running-joke of the rep forums. It's even got pat answers and it appears in several FAQs. (edit for spelling)
