I live in Austin and can order "Giga" power currently with a current top speed of 300/300. Its been available in my neighborhood, a recent development in an established area, for a few months, but I haven't ordered. They have a 1TB download cap per month and in the $70.00 variant, they are using deep packet inspection in order to send targeted ads towards you. They have a more expensive option, $99.00 a month + install, where they don't examine your packets, but they have already lost me. I am sure Google will also utilize deep packet inspection and for some reason, I trust them more.
I have TWC currently with a 50/5 plan that is supposed to be upgraded this summer with no additional costs. They haven't announced speeds yet but Im guessing they are going to be close in nature.
Good to see competition working in the ATX.
For a mere 100k+, you too can have a full LGC Fusion Singlestar repeater system covering an eight story building. You could work with the carriers to extend their signal to your place and then it will work great.

We have this at work and the cell signals went from no service to full 4/5 bars everywhere. Including in the elevator, bathroom, basement, and data center.
If you are gonna do it, do it right!
We are not actually using every IP in 1918 space, more like, we have many networks defined across the globe for use by the 40 branch offices for all of their needs. We have broken 1918 space down by major region (America's, Europe, and Asia Pac). Each region is then broken down by country, followed by the city in that country. This makes it quite easy to know by any ip where it is originating.
The problem lies when you have multiple network engineers creating and modifying networks across the planet and only have a silly excel file to document what is what. Being able to define the networks, provide FQDN's for the interesting IP's (in our case, its usually only in the first 5 ips - hsrp virtual, hsrp pri, hsrp secondary, and 2 for other network devices), and the ability to export these entries so that the guys who manage the DNS servers can import them would be quite beneficial.
I would say we have 6000+ active ports at headquarters and another 6000+ in all the other branch offices combined. Sounds like a lot, but we have many folks with multiple machines. We have an entire building of engineers who get 4 LAN ports on their desks for their labs and what not.
I do not think the question lies in how we have addressed our networks, but morelike what is a good application to provide some of the features I have just described.
That is where we are currently. MS AD for DNS and DHCP with Excel for documentation of all the networks worldwide. The Excel file has been a pain for quite some time. There has been some attempts to import this into Notes to make it more usable, but they have all been just too clunky and have been put together with very little thought.
I have found some info on these guys and will check them out this week at interop. We too just recently left the QIP world based on licesing costs. DHCP and DNS are being managed by the AD folks so for us network engineers who only care about the break down of subnets and the first 5 ips in each network, its very clunky to use the MSC console crap.
It means that in some way or another we use 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/16 as well as our public class B. With sites in 40 countries, internet facing requirements, wireless, wired, vpn, server farms, test, dev, and all the other uses for ip's, we use a whole hell of a lot.
Doesn't seem like anyone is interested in this. I don't think pro gamers are going to ever be thought of in the same light as true pro athletes. This was bound to burst eventually.
I am not sure what you mean by it not being very friendly. You can easily package up your specific vpn profile into an installation executable or just hand out profiles to those who already have it installed. The most recent version of the client for windows is 4.8, 4.9 for Mac OSX, 4.8 for Linux, and 4.6 for Solaris. Our client does split tunneling so it does not change your default route nor does it change the dns settings which are set either manually, by dhcp, or by group policy. You should really check your information before handing out incorrect information.
Finally someone with some good advice. I would forget about anything which is considered consumer products. We use a whole host of Cisco 3000 series VPN devices for all sizes of small and large branch offices. We use from the 3002 to the 3030. I have to say, they are ultra reliable, very secure, very well supported by Cisco and the associated community of Cisco users, and has clients for major OS's. Its a win win situation if you ask me. You do have to shell out a little more than the guy who was recommending you commit fraud by buying a lame Linksys device and a flat screen for yourself, but in the end you will get a rock solid, well supported, and very configurable device.
Hey try out BF2 Autoloader. Works great and has some of the functionality that the game should. Also allows you to skip the intro movie stuff so you can get to the game quicker.

In the first article about this POS game, the rendering of the cars looked like absolute shit. Who fucking cares if the stuff you are passing at speeds on the sided of the track are rendered in high detail? How about rendering the cars in high detail and then adding some real gameplay to that lame ass played out POS game.
Just my opinion.
Exactly my concern. It seems that a game with an original idea is a very rare commodity these days. Game franchise rehashing games and ideas is all too common these days... i mean really. How many versions of the same game does any one person need? I always thought that with all of the online abilities of games these days, the majority of recently released games could actually be a part of a map pack or small patch release at best.
Im so tired of EA. They may release 1 out of every 3 or 4 games in total, but its just plain sickening. I would rather have a fewer number of good games rather than a higher number of not so good games.
By them buying up all the other game dev shops around, it is pretty much going to ensure that the indie developer and the small developer either get bought up and eaten by gamezilla, or are not able to compete even with a good game.
bleh.
It works and works well. We have them to all of our routers console ports and all solaris consoles. As long as you got what ever media, if any, you are good.
You are talking about servers which are all commodity grade these days anyway. Lets put our routing infrastructure on such low grade crap hardware and when the bottom line gets affected due to all kinds of outages and crappy *nix admins, then we shall see how this is going to take down Cisco. No matter what all of the open source pundits say, networking hardware will remain mostly the way it is now because IT folks in big business will not buy into putting their organizations at risk by using xorp.
if you think billion dollar companies are going to switch to some piece of shit open source program instead of the proven and functional gear from cisco. Lets see, i can stake my entire enterprise on equipment and software which is proven and in place everywhere with proper support and what not in place, or Xorp... being a network engineer for a large company I can say it will never happen.
They are ahead of schedule becuase they will be toll roads. The faster they get the damn things built, the faster we can all get double taxed to drive on roads we have already paid taxes to help build. Everyone in Austin is like, tolls roads are good but they are all ignorant folks who are part of the herd anyhow.
Very nicely stated. Austin is so far from the rest of Texas in its culture and people... its amazing that some folks would just lump sum the city into the state's persona... kind of like saying that everyone in San Francisco is gay. Thats very ignorant.
Anyone who works for 10 bucks an hour is disposable... and you are probably getting less than 10 so change the word "disposable" to "slave-labor" and it more defines the role. Having to work 100 hours a week must suck. And for the testers I know, they complain... yet they never seem to want another job?
It seems that the folks who are adamant about the GC and its games have always been big Nintendo fans. Many folks who are not on the GC bandwagon have many thoughts they claim as the reason (games too cutesy, not enough games, crappy hardware, etc.)
It all reminds me of Apple using folks. They tend to be Apple users through out. Die hard even. Maybe there is a correlation between GC lovers and Apple lovers. hmmm.....
Slashdot Mirror
Have you tried any of the Amazon 4k content? Im sure its also locked down to authorized players, but it may be worth a shot.
This! Regardless of the amount of content, viewing what is available on netflix in 4k needs an authorized player.

I would bet he hasnt been laid in years if at all.
Thats all those programmer get paid??? I am sure glad I decided to not to be a game programmer.
