[etherlab-users] Knowing when the packet has finished

[Shahbaz Yousefi]

Well I am in good luck then!

First let me tell you the difference:

In your method:

You get data of last night, issue commands and send the postman at night.
Delay? 1 day
Our method, you get the data of today, issue commands and send the postman
again today (another thread). Delay? As short as it can be. (If you
remember, that is also something we wanted. Not to be restricted to sending
the postman only once a day, but as soon as we need him).

About the hen and the egg, the egg was there first.

(This is going to be off topic so if others don't want to read it, you can
ignore the rest of the message).

You want proof? Here it is:

Creatures evolve through mutation. Mutations happen in gametes. Gametes are
then combined, producing a single cell that grows into a creature.

Therefore, the sequence the led to chickens being created had been something
like this:

Creatures that is somehow similar to chicken ---- their baby ---> creature
that resembles chicken
Creatures that resemble chicken ---- their baby ---> creature that looks
similar chicken
Creatures that look similar to chicken ---- their baby ---> creature that
looks very much like chicken
Creatures that look very much like chicken ---- their baby ---> chicken

That is, there has once been two parents that aren't really classified as
chickens, but their mutant baby (egg) was a chicken. From that chicken, more
chickens were produced.

Therefore, first was the egg, then the hen.

Now will you do as you promised?

P.S. If you are also wondering if 1kg of iron is lighter or 1kg of cotton, I
can tell you 1kg of cotton is lighter because it has less density and
therefore takes up more volume and the air applies more buoyant force to it
(upwards), reducing its weight more than it reduces that of 1kg iron.
