send xtra

No I am NOT, Xtra killed the Pop/Smpt accounts and set up a crap Yahoo
one

Just to save of server storage..


Try and read next time..

 

Yes, we should moan ... ISPs used to offer email, webspace, Usenet
newsgroups, etc. These days you just about get email, and yet we're
paying the same or more for less services. :-(

It'll be the same with the forced priced drop of copper broadband. I's
meant to be something like a 23% cut, but the users will be lucky if
they get a third of that thanks to greedy ISPs (some people are saying
you'll get more data insetad, which kind of defeats the purpose of the
price cut). :-(

 

Gee you are really stuffed up, you do need to se a Metal Doctor Shrink.

 

Yes and the Usless Ultra fast Fiber broad band that no one can afford.


$115 with Telecom for a 30GB cap..

 

According to an old(ish) junk mail leaflet I have here, WorldNet is
(was?) offering these fibre plans for around the same data cap:

- Home 1: Phone + 25GB $69 per month
30M download / 10M upload

- Home 2: Phone + 45GB $75 per month
30M download / 10M upload

(you can add $30 per month to upgrade to 100M download / 50M upload)

or these plans at around that same price (incl. GST):

- Home 6: Phone + 450GB $119 per month
30M download / 10M upload

or - Home 4: Phone + 100GB $119 per month
with 100M download / 50M upload upgrade


There's various other plans.

 

Sadly, I agree with roger on this one. When we start saying fibree, then
that's how we should spell it. Similarly center, theater and others. This is
one of the few the the americans get right IMO.

... how ? ... unless it's fiber of course ?

 

I've invented one, ten characters long.
If there is one in 26 chances of guessing a letter, and one in 10 of
guessing a number, it will take them some time to work it out.
But why on earth would they want my emails?

 

Unfortunately with Xtra using Yahoo, the hackers are not guessing your
password at all, so it makes no difference how difficult or easy it is
to guess.

The hackers are getting in through security holes in the server
software at Yahoo's end, so there's absolutely nothing you can do about
it.

They don't want to read your emails. They usually just want to use your
account to send spam and viruses.

 

Nope, Americans are always wrong. In proper correct English (as
"invented" by the English people in England ... hence the name of the
language), all of those words end with "re" not "er",

Unfortauntely, due to the spread of American media, we will eventually
end up with just the silly butchered "American English" versions of
spellings and meanings, and their idiotic backwards dates. :-(

 

Magazine? How else can you spell that?

"Gotten" is good Seventeenth Century English. In Genesis 4 :1 Eve says "I
have gotten a man from the Lord", in the King James Version.
The Americans are simply saying what their Pilgrim Father ancestors would
have said.
It's interesting that it should have come down unchanged over the
centuries.

(And the two four letter words p*** and s*** which rather startle us when we
find them in the Bible would also have been acceptable English in those
days.)

 

So don't call an American a silly ass!

 

Wouldn't the virus programs pick up any viruses? But I doubt if they could
do anything about the spam.

 

And never disclose your password length either! I'm serious.

They don't want your emails, they just want to use your account (to send
out spam, etc).

 

That's fine. it's the one instance where both meanings of the word
would be correct.

 

The anti-virus applications on the receiver's computer or thier email
provider's system MIGHT find and stop the virus, but as before, the
anti-virus software is always one step behind and none of it finds
everything.

The hackers using your account to spem and viruses won't affect your
own computer, except that you might get a load of bounced
"undeliverable" emails come back to you.

Either way, it's not your fault and there's nothing you can do about
it. It's Yahoo's fault for being so useless and Xtra's fault for
choosing the idiots to run the email service for them.

 

Read what he said... "to SEND...". Your computer is not in the
equation.

 

A general spelling revision is **long** overdue IMO. Blame mr first
dictionary compiler for most of the stupid I suppose ... but how stupid does
that make the rest of us for continuing what he started ??

 

Question ... what is the government doing about continual failure to meet
the set standards ??

Answer ... lowering them.

 

yes, yes, yes (z doesn't get out nearly enuff, though officially it's
allowed to ), no (as that's not the standard and I'm a chemist by
training ), and never (got is sufficient).

 

The, "Above all, break any and all of these rules to avoid the barbarous"
(paraphrased mercilessly) guideline says gotten is gone.
