That is a half-duplex signaling rate. Actual throughput is much less. Plus there aren't a lot of channels to use. 5.8Ghz is unlicensed, so that will be used up quickly. 3.5Ghz isn't available for us in the US. 2.5Ghz is all owned by Sprint/Nextel, Bellsouth, and Clearwire. Of those 3, only 1 is even interested in WiMax and they have the least amount of spectrum.
WiMax is only a big deal in developing countries currently.
I believe the 70Mbps is half-duplex, so we are only really talking 35Mbps. Further, if you calculate the square mile coverage for a signal that has a 30 mile radius you will see that 35Mbps shared is really going to suck.
I'd be interested in locating consultants that have implemented Asterisk and VoIP before. Preferrably ones connected to organizations, but individuals are okay too. I am in the Atlanta area if that matters.
I have seen numbers arounf $25,000 per 1/4 mile of coverage to deploy a Wi-Fi network. To cover 138 miles would thus require 13.8 million. Not really far off when you consider quantity discounts.
I completely agree. If this supported Outlook I could begin planning a migration today. I've gotten many people to move away from IE to Firefox, but I just don't see being able to get people to move from Outlook to Mozilla.
100% open source? Is that better than 80% open and 20% free? Can we start applying open source percentages to commerical software, so that we can know which software is 100% closed vs. maybe something that is 16% open.
No, fuck you... I don't need people to invent enemies so they have someone to protect me from. I've read Michael Moore's book and while I don't agree 100%; there is a lot of shit to answer for. When you all can learn to engage the public without making shit up and using scare tatics, I change my opinion.
Actually, Windows does support softlinks, which are termed as junctions. See http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtm l#junction for more information.
Having successfully raised funds for a software startup I can tell you for a fact that it is very difficult. Further, it takes a unique set of skils that most people who are good at software engineering don't have. I was lucky in that I had worked with previous companies raising captial, so I had experience and connections.
Anyway, my software company recently exited as we sold off our IP to others. I now have a consulting firm that among other things helps people with raising funds. I represent several angels in the Atlanta area, so if you have a great idea that you need help raising money for, let me know. That doesn't mean you should start submitting business plans to me, but if you do have a great idea, strong founders, and would like to discuss your options over lunch then by all means let me know.
Emory, GA Tech, UGA, GA State, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Wisconsion (spelling?)... it seems like there where others I had heard off, but I am drawing a blank.
And you're right that it doesn't mean there are a ton of jobs out there, but if you add that to the fact that I have turned down a contract a week so far this year and my friends in technical recruiting are so busy they are hiring more recruiters, things start to add up.
Anyway, I didn't specify you had to network in your social circle. Obviously, that is a good place to start, but really you should be networking with people you don't know. Find that "gateway" person that opens up a whole other world of contacts.
I am personally getting tired of all these posts about not being able to find a job. There are tons of jobs out there for tech people who want. I could name off the top of my head at least 10 universities that would love to hire someone who those certifications. I could also name at least 10 companies that are looking for web application developers in the J2EE space right now. There also seems to be a ton of work for folks willing to do general computer consulting for small businesses. I even heard the other day about some government and healthcare opportunities for folks who could help them move away from Windows and Office.
It is interesting what all of the above jobs have in common though. None of them are listed on job boards such as Monster. Why do you think that is? As a hiring manager, I will tell you. If is too big of a fucking hassle to deal with hundreds, sometimes thousands of resumes. And for companies with more than 50 employees there is a lot of process associated with resumes and hiring, so most aren't interested in dealing with that kind of volume.
So how do you find a job? You fucking network... get off your ass and get out to social events and meet people. The last 15 people I have hired I had a previous relationship with, they were friends of friends, I met them at user groups, and in one case I met the person at a Slashdot meetup.
The job market is hot again for those who get out from behind their computers and find a job.
Well I live in Atlanta and the grass is really greener here since it is one of the fastest growing tech markets in the country. Most of these tech jobs seem to surround biotech and life sciences.
The real problem is that many in the industry simply don't know how to get a job. First, there is the group of people who were working for a company for 10+ years that got laid off. The job market is very different now than it was, so most aren't prepared. Second, people who got into the business during the boom never had to learn any real skills when it came to landing jobs, so now that companies are picky they are losing out.
The way to find a job is through networking. There is simply no better way, so if you are unemployed and not networking you might need to rethink your situation.

- Talking on it without the earpiece sucks
- The natural place where you hold the device is also the button to end a call
- It is too easy to answer a call and put the person on hold
- If I am using any PDA functionality and a call comes in my work is lost
- Sometimes people can't hear me when I answer the phone
- Sometimes the keyboard lock unlocks without my input
- Deleting email on the Blackberry doesn't delete it in my mailbox
- It has trouble telling the difference between the same number with and without a 1 (long distance)
- It thinks all 10 digit calls nees a 1
- The keypad letters are wrong for the number pad, which makes it highly annoying to dial a number by name (1-800-get-a-clue)
- When adding a number to the addressbook it assumes the number is a work number
Give me time, I will think of more.I have seen numbers arounf $25,000 per 1/4 mile of coverage to deploy a Wi-Fi network. To cover 138 miles would thus require 13.8 million. Not really far off when you consider quantity discounts.

Can it get any worse? Well... IBM could lose their license to AIX because of SCO at which point Solaris on PPC might look pretty good.
Wasn't it Sun who supported SCO?

If all your hardware isn't capable of supporting and configured to use jumbo frames it will be hard to come anywhere close to saturation point.
Why are these always comments along these lines? Like technology? Don't have what you want in your area? Move!
Actually, the famous hot coffee case had merit, but must believe choose to believe the myth instead. Here's a link with info.

You missed the news... the jobless recovery is over. The latest jobs report showed aggressive growth.
You must have missed the part where Bush lowered the capital gains tax to 15%.
Indeed, which is why it was stupid to delay the game for a new engine. Poor Gunny has been holding onto tf2.com this whole time.

Swing can be implemented using native widgets just look at Mac OS X, which did exactly that.
They might sue Microsoft for damaging the reputation of McDonald's computer systems of which SCO is a major part.
Gasoline generators provide power for long periods of time.
