    Is Amp anywhere near Upper Volta?

    No, it's on the island of Sans Serif. It gets high mark-ups as a great tourist escape.

    I was actually just booking a cruise through the Amps.

    Uh "Repositioning" is actually a cruising term. Ships will have special trips, generally once or twice a year, to move them into a new service market, so those are one-way trips as opposed to most cruises which are round-trip.

    For example, every fall, many of the ships sailing in the Alaska Inside Passage reposition to the Caribbean via a one-way trip down the West Coast and through the Panama Canal. In the late spring, they head back. Just like birds, but a lot bigger, and they carry more passengers.

    Umm, this doesn't make it any less bizarre to offer cruises to "Repositioning". If the ship is repositioning from from Alaska to the Bahamas, I think you would offer customers a cruise "From Alaska to the Bahamas", not "Repositioning".

    Like, if I saw an advertisement for "10% off on stock from warehouse location 1B9A7", I would think that bizarre, regardless of whether that was an actual warehouse location at that company.

    On the principle that there's no name imaginable that hasn't been used for a place somewhere, I checked in with my friends at the US Geologic Survey. Turns out there's a stream called "Amp Branch" in Wayne County, West Virgina at map coordinates 38°03'57"N, 82°29'36"W.

    Wouldn't have thought you could cram a cruise ship up there, but then I'm not actually in that business.

    I never had Latin in high school but what I understood, without using Google Translate, is that your Latin is rusty because it's 35 years ago that you learned it in high school and that you haven't used it ever since. Close enough? Latin is really easy for anyone who has already been exposed to one of the other Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish,...)

    So, was that a stock mail server running on localhost or something you wrote yourself that responded with "thats cool" to a wrong password? Thunderbird repeating this message is hardly a WTF...
    Yeah, it is.

    An SMTP client is supposed to use only the numerical part of the server response. The client in question here seems to have been expecting a specific textual response. The text response is meant to be read by a human (a human that is silly enough to actually telnet to the mail server, that is), not for parsing by a client.

    I assume that the "Nagesh" meme started when someone with a first language other than US english posted a comment. Racist fuckwads have since attempted to prove their cultural superiority by posting pictures stolen from NYT, Nat Geo and other sources. Sure, it sucks that jobs move offshore. Sure india is a developing country with lower living standards than the US. Cultural stereotyping is not going to help, and it just reinforces the popular view that people in anglophile countries, particularly the US, are arrogant, ignorant, racist, and unaware of their own growing irrelevance.
