I fail to see the purpose of this thread. What's next, people postulating about how many rolls of toilet paper they have left?

This isn't a good use of this site's bandwidth.

Twenty-Seven. And from what I have heard of "postulating," does that not mean to prove? Does that mean, instead of telling and asking about the number of toilet paper rolls, people would actually be taking pictures and videos of these rolls of toilet paper? Possibly even using them all? As evidence?

In any case, I got SMB, and Atari 2600 with a whole bunch of games, and a whole bunch of Atari 2600 games from Jeffslot. That means I have multiple copies of multiple games. (maybe 15 copies of packman, and maybe 5-7 copies of "combat", amont a lot of other things).

Yeah I suppose its pointless, since no one's really responding to anyone else.

Umm, how much bandwidth does it take? I really don't know how bad it could be?

If you've got a general-purpose random thought, topic or question regarding something that doesn't fit into the other forums (such as "Does anyone have a good rhubarb recipe? We found some growing in the back lawn...") then this is the place! We also run polls in here and some other fun stuff. Forum 42- Kick off your shoes, let your hair down, and be yourself!

I think this falls under the category of "and some other fun stuff"

Quite a bit. Each page, each locally hosted image, and all that PHP code getting processed adds up. I think more traffic goes toward the forums than the HTML pages. Not to mention it makes the database bigger, which makes backing it up harder on the bandwidth...

And I know it's not exactly a "package" per se, but I'm downloading the Fedora Core 5 DVD...

It's been downloading since 10 this morning, and it should be done around 4 tonight. Yes that is about 3 gigs of data.

Wow. That's 3 gig? It'd be a shame If your computer turned off. *Gets skillz ready* My brother is waiting for a SuperCard SD.

Klefmung · Post by **Klefmung** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 12:44 pm

My computer doesn't even have 3 gigs left. <_< I am a heavy user of memory, no?
