  1. Re:Sounds like shilling on Complaint Challenges Univ. of Hawaii Email Partnership Wth Google · · Score: 1

    Wow, this uninformed crap again...

    Google's Street view project used Netstumbler, which is an application you can download whenever you like and is available for free. This application listens in on the wifi radio, and records what it finds, it allows you to discover networks, even when they are not broadcasting. In the process of this, it is possible that traffic of what people were doing (that they were doing unencrypted, in the clear, over easily listened to wifi) were recorded. When Google realized this happened, they approached the governments involved, and offered to destroy the data with them witnessing it. I believe it was Germany, but this was a bit ago, asked Google to instead turn over the data, and Google refused, as it would be a privacy breach. This is the company you are mudslinging, please get your facts straight before slinging uninformed mud.

    There are points for it, and when you compare the cost of cat6 to the cost of an electrician on top of cat6, it starts to make sense.

    Um, all this thing can do it RDP type connections, I would say more that gigabit is useless, while 100Mbit is quite enough for EVERYTHING a terminal needs to do.

    I run dual 24" monitors over PCoIP to a Windows 7 VDI box (right now!) and can watch full motion video without pushing even 100Mbit.

    This thing is more than enough to run whatever you want to, you are looking at it from the wrong perspective.

    I find the sound out of sync when watching videos through PCoIP from VDI, but not so bad that it makes it hard to use.

    Not likely in a usable way. Youtube audio and video never syncs up, and it tends to get a bit chopy. I can't even imagine trying that on a full screen application.

    Consider the cost of the back end too. I am currently on a terminal, and as I was involved in the whole buildout of VDI, I can assure you, after VDI, VMware, Windows, Office, storage, and the blades we use for backends, it was well more expensive than a PC.

    In general, as I don't live in a very dense city, in this situation, you can generally watch for the cross traffic to stop, then scoot out and to the right (we drive on the right) of the cross side of the intersection to move out of the way.

    I won't be as rude about it as the AC, but yes, AC/HP technology has come a long way. If you replace your AC unit (if it is older than 10 years) it will pay itself off in reduced energy usage. But, you can only go so far in reducing the cost of moving heat around, eventually you have to look at how your house is built, which may be more work/money than it is worth, unless you are building a new house already.
