It kind of works. Movi still needs a lot of work to get to the point where it's stable enough to make it through a 2 hour conference.
The one trick I used for one client that has a AV tech wing. they have 4 skype call in machines for the Linux users in china. Those machines are connected to a Tricaster that inputs to a tandberg HD unit in the building. all 4 of the skype callers call in, the AV tech then sets up the quad view on the tricaster and sets audio, and then calls into the conference upstairs. the AV guy then listens to the audio and will bring a skype fullscreen if the CEO asks for it.
Not a good solution, but it makes the CEO happy. I would prefer a native client that works well.
They do use the H323 standard and the signaling standard. I touch this gear daily, How about you? do you have ANY real experience with Video conference gear?
In fact Cisco phone can be put into a SIP mode with a cisco SIP firmware. This is how Asterisk users can use Cisco phones on their systems.
What loads of others are you thinking of? Just because it supports SIP does not mean it supports Video calls over SIP.
I've been down this road a lot, the company I work for is a Tandberg/Cisco VC dealer and we constantly are being asked about Linux clients. I have yet to find ONE that supports all of the functions. Like sending Pan/Tilt/Zoom to the far end camera. Ekiga works for simple static calls, at least an older version did. I have not tried it in the past year as surplus gear on ebay delivers a better conference experience.
"Sorry, but for business things you really do have to use Skype."
Where? Everywhere I look I see businesses using Cisco, Tandberg and Polycom video conferencing and that means real H323 protocols and software. Of which there is NOTHING for linux.
The good thing is a old Tandberg Edge95 or Polycom SD unit is dirt cheap on ebay.
IF a pre-roll ad is more than 10 seconds in length you will lose 50% of your viewers. your ad department needs to understand that. 5 second blipverts would be more effective.
I would believe that if the slasvertisment was balanced. For example the silly drug smuggler Scott-e-vest hoodie video was not a review at all. Timothy took it out of a box and stffed things in it for the 40 seconds he wore it.
Use the thing for at LEAST a week or two. show us how it falls apart, or how all the pockets sag after a few days, etc. Real reviews and not PR regurgitation.
Organizations like the Florida Family Association and the Family Research Council are terrorists, plain and simple. They firebomb abortion clinics, they terrorize soldier funerals and they do this terror tactic.
Why is it OK for these religious extremist groups to practice terrorist like acts inside the united states and get away with them? If any other religous faction were to do it they would see a government smackdown of epic proportions.
Honestly, the best thing the USA could have done was let all the banks fail completely, and cancel all the debt. Just say, ":we are the USA, screw you we are nullifying this debt."
The recession would have dipped into a deep depression for a very short time and we would have been back to where we are already BUT with the economic damage spread evenly across all economic classes. and the eradication of the Debt would eliminate all the problems we are looking at down the road.
Problem is, everyone in power were working hard to protect their and their friends wealth. Filing a country wide chapter 11 would have caused all the rich some serious pain.
networking does not ether. for less than $300 per node I can build a wide area mesh network that runs on solar and has enough battery backup for overnight operation.
But they were right if you look at the true disparity in rich and poor. The poor in the rest of the world live in fricking dirt holes. The poorest in the USA live like the rich in many 3rd world countries.
The gap between the worlds poor and rich is growing exponentially. right now the top 1% of the united states could buy real homes for 100% of the worlds poor and still be the top 1% rich. Yes it's that bad. And it will get worse. The rich have no problem with $6.00 a gallon gas. The poor have to decide is it worth paying 50% of their weekly income to pay for gas to get to work. Why? well the poor cant afford a nice shiny new Hybrid. they have to drive what they can afford to buy for $500-$2000 junker from 12 years ago. That means a 8-18mpg gas hog that is falling apart.
They also cant live near work or take public transportation in many places because of rich assholes refusing to pay for trains and buses. Large cities have it like NYC and Chicago, but then the poor cant afford to live there unless they are in the slums where it's dangerous to live and, suprise, bus serivce has been cancelled. so they get to walk 2 miles to the nearest bus stop.
It self perpetuates. The rich will not pay for things for the evil PARASITES to use. Walk to work you prole! a lot of things can be done to turn it all around. problem is it gives things to the poor, and that just can not be allowed to happen.
It's their own fault, instead of using sun java, they used their own java and that has caused headaches for nearly a decade as they have ALWAYS been behind.
Only if we can use that as windows excuse as to why a unprotected windows box will get 629 viruses and trojans a day.
OSX and Linux still are far better than windows in regards to security. Windows is getting better, but it's still a major mess.
Also, is this trojan a self infecting setup or did the infections get there because of moron users clicking on everything they see pop up. NO operating system security on the planet can defend against the idiot at the keyboard.
Yes I do, but as a rss podcast feed, not as a part of a news website. I watch the stuff on TWIT a lot, but those are full professionally produced shows.
"SJVN is, of course, the well-known nickname and abbreviation for Steven J. Vaughn-Nichols"
Honestly, I've been a heavy linux guy for 15 years and I have never heard of this guy, or at least not have heard of him enough to recognize his nickname.
Also a lot of local stations are now streaming on their websites, so you can get the live news and local sports as well. And the NBA had the games streaming for free in march.
No reason at all to have Cable TV/Satellite TV anymore It's overpriced for what it delivers. I'll come back Comcast, if you give me all the channels for $20.00 a month and the price never goes up.
I get an average of 50mpg in my 2007 Civic Coupe. This is with very mild driving changes like driving 65 and not being a retard and drag racing light to light. The Price difference for a car that is the exact same size as my Civic but costs 5X more and supposedly has 20X the technology only get's marginally better gas mileage.
Who is buying the Chevy Volt? It's over priced and under delivers.
Has malcom X fessed up that what he did was massively wrong and not only publically apologized, but also paid the people he wronged for their trouble?
Also I still hear "journalists" making crap up about this story. NPR even said, "Zimmerman GUNNED DOWN the teen." Really? Are all journalists scumbags that make crap up for sensationalism?
And in many companies it's because of craptastic software written by idiots that require admin rights to run. Most Vertical market software is a steaming turd that barely runs.
This garbage is the problem of most corporate IT, One really important program we used at Comcast REQUIRED write access to the Windows OS install location (C;/windows) and it would write to parts of the registry that it had no business writing to, so it needed admin rights there.
So in essence all users had to run as local admin. A major bad thing to do.

But all of that requires the use of S O C A L I S I M that evil thing that will destroy us all.
I dont see any of that happening in the next 500 years, we are not intellectually advanced enough to get past the "MINE MINE MINE" toddler phase.

Step 1 - imprison all politicians.
Step 2 - there is no step 2, everything was solved at step 1
Pay the russians to fly you to the ISS and you will be a legitimate astronaut.
You can buy that title.
Far easier to hide the mouse and keyboard.
Yup but with magical moving pictures!
It's their own fault, instead of using sun java, they used their own java and that has caused headaches for nearly a decade as they have ALWAYS been behind.
Since this is a trojan, checking for a virus would not work.

And that the current sitting Supreme Court is stacked full of freedom and constitution hating judges.
