psychicistdon't worry Kilos10:43
psychicisthi inetpro 10:44
superflyhi psychicist10:44
psychicistI started out as a noob about 10 years ago, I can't remember how many times I killed my Linux systems and had to reinstall them again and in the process often my Windows OSes too if I managed to break my bootloaders10:44
Kiloshehe i have had lotsa fun with bootloaders. but boot-repair has solved all of that10:45
inetprohi psychicist10:47
inetpropsychicist: welcome to #ubuntu-za10:48

KilosMaaz, define psychicist10:49
MaazKilos: I don't have a definition for that. Is it even a word?10:49
psychicistI can't connect using my phone here10:49
psychicistit isn't, it's something I made up10:49
Kilospsychicist, do you know maaz?10:49
superflypsychicist: what phone do you have?10:49
psychicistKilos, I've seen you use it before10:49
psychicistsuperfly, a Samsung Galaxy Mini (GT-S5570 or something)10:50
superflyrunning Android?10:50
psychicistyes10:50
psychicistbut an older release (2.2.1)10:50
superflyDunno if you've used Quassel before, but it's an IRC bouncer system10:51
Kilospsychicist, is that because of no signal there by you10:51
Kilosor the software10:51
superflyyou use Quassel Client on your desktop, running the Core on your server, and QuasselDroid on your phone10:51
psychicistKilos, because I don't have wireless here, I don't have a 3G data plan10:51
Kilosoh cant you guys just use airtime to get data packages10:52
psychicistoh, that's very nice, I will take a look at it10:52
psychicistmaybe10:53
superflyKilos: psychicist is from Nederland, where their Internet is a tenth of the price of ours ;-)10:53
psychicistI should be able to use the wireless here, but the signal isn't strong enough10:53
psychicistreally, is internet that expensive in South Africa?10:53
superflyah10:53
superflypsychicist: probably10:53
Kilosour mobile broadband is prohibitive10:54
superflyI don't know the prices in Nederland offhand, but SA is generally more expensive than anywhere else in the world10:54
psychicisthere you can generally get a 30 Mbs internet connection for about 25€ a month10:55
superflypsychicist: the fastest connection you can get here is 10Mbps10:55
psychicistand mobile broadband maybe 10€-20€ a month for 2 GB of data10:56
psychicistsuperfly, here you can get up to 100 Mbs for 50€, 10 years ago you would get 1 Mbs at most10:57
Kiloswow10:57
Kilos€ whats that sign cents10:58
Kilos?10:58
psychicistit's euro the currency for most countries in the European Union10:59
superflyand you pay R2359 per month for Uncapped on 10Mbps11:00
Kilosoh ya 11:00
superflypsychicist: that's 231 euros per month11:00
psychicistsuperfly, that's prohibitively expensive11:01
superflypsychicist: exactly11:01
superflypsychicist: and that's the cheapest it has been in years11:01
superflyin fact, we never had uncapped until last year11:01
psychicistI think we got lucky with the competition we have had here for the past 10 years or so11:01
superflypreviously you could get about a 20gig cap11:02
superflyand that was the maz11:02
superfly*max11:02
superflymost people still only get a 0.3Mbps line with a 1GB cap11:02
psychicistsuperfly, so you have a 0.3-1 Mbs connection currently?11:02
psychicistwow, that feels like going back in time11:03
superflyme? no, I have a 3G connection at home because the telco won't install ADSL for me11:03
magespawni run my internet cafe on 1mbps uncapped for about R720 can not get 10 Mbps here11:04
superflyI can get 4Mbps, if they install ADSL11:04
superflyat R1000 per month, that's the cheapest I've ever paid for Internet11:04
superfly(real Internet, not this 0.3Mbps rubbish)11:05
magespawnwith the speed not being guaranteed11:05
psychicistseriously expensive and slow stuff, I can see how most people would do without an internet connection at all11:05
magespawnthere is a satalite  service launching this year that will do adsl type speeds for about the same cost11:06
magespawntyping up the wall today11:07
