My dad's van has more mis-matched body panels than your dad's van.

My dad doesn't bother replacing them and drives too slow for any collisions to cause dents anyway.

Roses are bollocks, Violets are crud, I hate bloody flowers, And much prefer mud.

Oh, I meant operating one's own server at home. I used to be an a huge German board (about 50k users) whose owner/programmer/admin operates his own server from his living room :)

What Ant said - unless he had a special internet connection, he almost certainly wouldn't be getting connection speeds like this:

It'd be nice if we had home connections that responded like that... maybe in Germany they do... but generally they're much slower and less reliable.

No idea, probably fast DSL since he lives in Berlin...
I was on that board for 6 years and usually it was no slower than this one.
Admittedly, maybe once a year the board was gone for a few hours or even a day when hardware had to be replaced :D

It would've been an extremely fast line to handle that many users and no doubt very expensive!!

Here they offer fiber connections now (200Mbps down, 10Mbps up guaranteed) for about 50€/month. They also offer 1Gbps connections (both up and down) for 250€/month, but who can afford that... ;P

:O I need to move to Germany.

There isn't some evil catch, like a 1GB/month "fair use" limit on that is there?

No, no limit whatsoever. It also includes 100+ TV stations and unlimited phone calls.
I live in Portugal by the way ;)
