Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 You British people are pretty crap at releasing anything on time aren't you? (I'm really gonna feel the heat for saying that one!) LoL.Spike. *Denial of service, Denial of service, Denial of service* I see it coming....a Denial of Service attack. Too many users overloads the servers, causing a crash in the Orange web-site....oh well, too bad. I don't think so mate, there are 180 odd users on the board waiting at the mo, now lets say that twice that many download (6MB) as it's released. Thats 360 users.... DOS? i don't think so!

Guest fraser Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I'm in agreement with ClintEastman etc. It's a 6M file and this ain't Slashdot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 For a couple of months I've been blaming my tiredness on waiting for the update. But ....I'm tired because I'm overworked. The population of this country is 65 million. 35 million are retired. That leaves 30 million to do the work. There are 20 million in school, which leaves 10 million to do the work. Of this there are 3 million unemployed, leaving 7 million to do the work. Take from that 3,100,000 people who work for government departments and that leaves 3,900,000 people to do the work. 2,580,000 are in the armed forces, which leaves 1,320,000 to do the work. At any one time, there are 450,000 people in hospitals, leaving 870,000 people to do the work. At the moment, there are 869,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me, and you're sitting reading MoDaCo! No wonder I'm F***ing Tired! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bandit Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Deep breaths all round - make a cup of tea, take a walk... I 've just had an email from my contact in Orange - he rang their Senior Product Manager for Business Devices who confirmed that the update IS still planned for release today. Patience is a virtue.

Thats 360 users.... DOS? i don't think so! Somehow I think theirs more than 360 people who are going to download this update. And you know what Orange are like....bloody incompetent.
