I suspect I may have been faffing with network protocols long before you were ever a twinkle in anyone's eye, young fella-milad.... It's the other deliberately designed in hurdles which hold things up.

Since I neither know or care about your age, you may have been faffing longer than me, but you still appear to understand nothing about what it means - experience generally does not equate to skill or knowledge and this would appear to be borne out by your ravings. Unless you are completely !!!!!!, you should by now have worked out that any computer system will be as efficient as the coding, hardware and the deliberate pauses introduced by the programmers. So if you were such an expert you wouldn't make comments about common APIs leading to identical outcomes on differing systems since it is obvious to even the most casual observer that this is cobblers.

Since you appear to understand little about computers, I've tried to point out to you via another engineering example that the internal systems are specific to each bank, they talk to each other in the way they are supposed to and they even behave overall in the way they are supposed to in terms of the response times, but you still don't seem to want to get it, possibly because it might question your victim mentality. In common with other posters I must therefore conclude your tin-foil hat is on too tight and will leave you to work out which organisation will be victimising you next.

I'm not a computer scientist, and don't need that qualification. I have actually been a rocket scientist in the past (really) and now have a reasonable amount to do with telemetry and systems control. Which is why I understand that the I/O specs of a system do not control overall system response.

No great skill is required for psychology in this instance, so I believe the real experts are safe in position.

OP, having read my way through this thread and a few others of yours in the past, I've concluded you're an idiot.

Every post of yours is generally along the following lines:
- I'm right
- everyone else is wrong

Lets face it, every forum has one....

I get the sneaking suspicion (based on the style of ranting/use of words, highlighted text and general writing style) that 2sides2everystory has an alias account of 'lanza'. I won't post the similar thread (as I don't want that sorry mess of a thread re-dug up if it can be helped), but having read this entire thread, it all seems just too similar to be a pure coincidence...

Actually, for anyone who wants a simple approach to finance your second, third and fourth points arent a bad place to start:

Most people (especially those writing on the internet) are indeed wrong.

Banks are definitely there to help themselves first and the customer second, if at all. Anyone who thinks otherwise is dreaming.

Banks (or their staff) can be incredibly incompetent and do make an unbelievable number of mistakes, and when they do so it is often very hard to get them to accept their error. The errors are rarely in the customer's favour either.

Hello,

May I please ask- How much did you pay for the pleasure of Santander transferring your money?

I'm presuming it is nothing or very little. In most country's (NZ/AU/US/RSA
), you would pay around a £1 for £100 and wait 2 days in the USA for ACH (Automated Clearing House) to transfer your payment.

Perhaps, people should stop complaining about their banking system- when they are not really paying for it (if they use it wisely).


I have used Santander to transfer money and they do it within 24 hours (normally).

I have invited Paul_01 to tell me what I must apologise for because he said I got one or more things wrong earlier in the thread. I am not sure what exactly. Thus far he has simply thanked talana for calling me an idiot and pathetic and stupid. One wonders whether talana has an IQ greater than the average Jo and has a special insight I don't possess, or is simply "average" and just as easily led as the dozens of posters who often pile in to criticise my posts.

As for you talana, why are you giving any credit to any banker? Together they have deliberately wrecked a large section of the global economy for private gain and continue to manipulate it mercilessly, or are you a denier of that particular fact?

And what can I say Monkey Mad? Now not only are you a computer science expert but are vying for the position of resident forum psychologist too :rotfl:

I came to the conclusion that no amount of reasoned argument would be enough for you to alter your viewpoint.....so I decided that I couldn't be ar**d to reply to you.

A rocket scientist on every forum? I don't think so - we are honoured, I'm sure
I guess that explains it then, if the guy lives in a world of apparent catatonia where he telemeters his instruction at the speed of light across the solar system and then sometime next week he gets a message back "sorry the main panels failed to deploy the day before you sent your message - main batteries will be dead soon so instruction rejected to ensure continued services to prime mission stakeholders".


Has anyone told him this is a thread about what bankers get up to on this planet?

I can't even be bothered to wonder what it is you are trying to suggest here although I find it more likely you would be in touch with the mothership. Like the poster above I could continue to debate with you that your basic premise of being defrauded was false, and that whilst we probably could have instant transactions, the common interface doesn't imply that is the result you will get, but I feel bad about wasting the electrons when it all passes over your head.

Quite, but perhaps the word you were looking for was 'bosons' ?

If I meant boson I would have said so. Electrons are fermions ie not bosons, of the lepton family. Nice try though.

Well more fool them. Let's remember that we are in fact lending money to the bank. Should we pay for the privilege of lending, and again for the privilege of getting our money back?
