And she snores and talks in her sleep [11:07] so I gave up trying to sleep [11:07] Pendulum, thats why i never sleep with my grandparents, they snore [11:08] ...

You have my fullest sympathies [16:20] suprengr: most of my family has been knocked out for 1 week + with it, I managed to resist it until most of them was better [16:20] when I got it I came up with the sane idea of drugging myself and sleeping for 14 hours [16:20] I've nearly beat it in one day :D [16:21] danfish: i have hook norton, twelve days, here. [16:21] Azelphur: don't get too over confident... I did - it literally nearly made me extinct as it's revenge - go careful & take care.

[18:58] you guys all had a good day? === MisesPieces is now known as OmNomSequitur === Guest68045 is now known as uc_webpigeon [22:18] Is 21.5 billion CRC errors with my ADSL nnnor [22:18] normal?* [22:21] Probably not. [22:21] Depends on the timescale involved, of course. [22:22] About 3 minutes :/ [22:23] Probably not, then. [23:21] 21.5B in 3 minutes - is that possible? [23:28] good question. I don't think you can make a packet smaller than 160 bits. 21.5B * 160 is 3440 billion bits. over 180 seconds, that's just over 19 billion bits per second, or 19000Mbps [23:29] * penguin42 guesses he doesn't have 19Gbps dsl [23:30] either my math is broken, or it'd be impressive to see a residential router even pass that many packets [23:32] not sure what a normal error rate looks like, but my gut feeling is no, that wouldn't be normal :) [23:46] nos da, sleep well. [23:59] It seems to be a common problem on the Bt Homehub v2.
