And, like Santa, Cellcom has a lot of presents to bring to everyone, and naturally this can take some time for a large number of recipients (I believe the professional term for this problem is "scaling", but you should ask a software person). Also, it seems that this message originates from a time a lot farther back than a year and a half ago -- a time when Comic Sans was still considered a legitimate font to use in emails. Or anywhere else. To summarize: Cellcom definitely got some points with this. http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment8http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment8Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:51:21 GMTAyende Rahien commented on A new meaning to async communicationJim, I use Fusion http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment7http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment7Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:52:15 GMTJim commented on A new meaning to async communicationHow do you run Visual Studio .NET on a Mac? Do you use Crossover? I find VMs like Parallels to be far too slow and unresponsive. http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment6http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment6Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:15:54 GMTAlex Shnayder commented on A new meaning to async communicationSounds perfectly logical to me. I myself have send a few picture messages using Orange IL and still waiting to get them. If I will ever get them, I will come back and update this thread.

Like my old mobile provider, they have strict process for delivering email... 1. user sends email 2. provider recieves email 3. provider prints email 4. provider atatches the mail to a carrier pigeons foot 5. provider goes through pre-flight checks 6. checks fail, revisit 3 through 5 7. provider releases pigeon to fly to users email provider server 8. email is entered into system and delivered to user mobile phone distibuted system == 10k carrier pigeons lol Ninja http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment2http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment2Sat, 23 Aug 2008 21:48:02 GMTRay commented on A new meaning to async communicationPerhaps, David Blaine's street magic? ;-) http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment1http://ayende.com/3553/a-new-meaning-to-async-communication#comment1Sat, 23 Aug 2008 20:32:11 GMT
