I am getting older and no longer a young lad. Two is enough these days.

For a change the mistress is older than me.

When you find the answer, let me know. In our case, if I'm watching the
TV in the living room, and she's in the kitchen, she'll ask me to turn
the volume up so she can hear it. Then she'll complain when I don't
hear her instructions, as you say.
Or she'll say something while in the utility room, and expect me, three
rooms and a passageway away, to hear every detail.

Yes, mine does this as well. Or if she starts talking while we're in the
same room, I wait until she's finished and then I move off to another
room to do something else, whereupon she starts again.

Then a few days later she'll "remind" me that we've got to go somewhere
or do something, and when I say that that's the first I've heard of
this, it's "Oh I told you about it the other day but as usual you didn't

UDP and TCP are two of the protocols built on top of IP (which is what ties the internet together). TCP guarantees in-order delivery of messages, or an error indicator (so if the recipient didn't get the message, you *will* know about it). UDP is fire-and-forget. If the packets get to the target, that's great; if not, that's life.

NNTP (news), SMTP (email), and HTTP (web) are all built on top of TCP.

UDP is a bit more niche.

Women send a datagram, aka postcard, with no checking it was received

Men say stuff, then wait for an ACK, then repeat until they get one.

VOIP often uses UDP - on the basis there's no point in buggering up the
channel for a glitch, as the convesees will listen, ACK and repeat if
required. ie Duplex with error correction.

Best one was when I had this GF and she was driving to my house teh
first time. Phone rings 'I cant find you, I'm lost' 'well where are you
now?' 'If i knew that I wouldn't be phoning you' 'so what do you expect
me to say?'

Phone cuts off.

Domain name service mainly UDP. Also NFS, though both can be TCP these days.

Not sure VOIP and Skype aren't UDP

Quote:

"Data Flow Control.
TCP does Flow Control. TCP requires three packets to set up a socket
connection, before any user data can be sent. TCP handles reliability
and congestion control.
UDP does not have an option for flow control.

Error Checking.
TCP does error checking.
UDP does error checking, but no recovery options."

Sounds about right.

"As Samuel Johnson paused to rest on a London park bench one hot

So, farts stink and people smell them.

This also conveniently explains why women keep acknowledging texts. I
just use them to post a message. If I want a confirmation that a message
has been received and understood, I phone rather than texting.

A good one this morning. Wife comes downstairs first, turns on TV on
way through living room, at volume to be audible in kitchen. When in
kitchen, turns on radio, at volume to be audible over TV in living
room. She goes upstairs as I come downstairs, then when I'm in kitchen,
assaulted by sound, she calls down with a request for something. Because
I can't hear her, I'm at fault, and also deafened.
