MSN mislaid some of my conversation with a mate this arvo...

[dug777]

Really weird, i asked him a question, and later resumed the conversation, leaving the window open all the while, and asked him the question again, anyway he says something like 'fule, i already told you'...

To cut a tedious bit of typing short the end result is that MSN lost about three replies he sent me...now to my knowledge this has never happened to me before, you?

We both use the same ISP, live in the same city (Perth, WA), and both have broadband...

EDIT: dammit arvo=afternoon.

MSN uses UDP packets, nothing guarantees that any message you send will actually make it to the other side.

UDP = Best effort service

 

[So]

oh dug, you and your crazy words....

But this happens to a friend of mine w/ crappy wireless reception all the time on AIM. He'll be online, but can't recieve messages, then he'll go offline, and autosign back on a few seconds later, having recieved none of the messages. It has been a problem before.

Yeah, happens sometimes, but usually it tells you if your message wasn't sent

Microsoft is an American company and doesn't care much about you Australians and your wacky mislaid conversations.

j/k

i was simply trying to explain what the word meant

It is an Australian slang word that means afternoon, and the '=' sign was supposed to indicate that they were equal, or if you like, meant the same thing...

Now have i explained it simply enough for you?

lost packets = messages not sent/received

You must be in management. You have successfully explained to me all the things I DID already know about your statement in a condescending fashion, while failing to explain the only part I don't get.
HOW does one get "arvo" from afternoon?

Yea that is happened been to my wife and I. She uses a mac so I figured it had something to do with the software.

You didn't exactly make that clear, but the answer is; i have no idea.
Really, i've just said it forever...
