Hangouts should've been renamed to Hangups. Connection issues were so rampant, and was one of the primary reasons Google Helpouts failed so badly.
I disagree. I used hangouts to call my wife and kids frequently from Afghanistan over a 2Mbps satellite connection and never experienced a hangup. in fact, the voice and video quality was FAR superior to any other voice/video offering on the market. It worked for me in 2007-8 and 2011-12 without a hitch. I have also leveraged it for years in my asterisk pbx without issues on hours long conference calls. that being said, hangouts itself is not being retired (thankfully), the API is.
So, I enjoyed my dividend check while I maintained residency. However, that money was offset by my 6$/gallon milk and other ridiculous expenses. The nearest McDonalds, wal-mart, or movie theatre were a hundred miles away, although you could get free weed at school all day long.. hell i didn't know people paid for weed until i moved to the lower 48!
That being said, the real benefit to living in Alaska isn't the dividend fund, it's the top-rate education system. I moved from Alaska to Kentucky my Junior year of HS and went from being a solid c student to straight A. The junior/senior classes in HS covered topics from JR High in Alaska. The state dumps tons of money into education.
most vehicles in the modern army have a 'datacenter' in them with satellite terminals towed. they all shoot back to a centralized location via satellite and from there go elsewhere, be it via fiber, satellite or high speed line of sight connections.
During an exercise, we brought in an air-droppable hmmwv that had a slim dish on top (used for campers), 2 gutted cisco routers and 2 gutted cisco switches with a POE NSA Type 2 encryption devices (all packed in to a very small form factor) to provide secure video telephony capabilities aswell as command and control capabilities from the site of an airborne insertion, which would typically be surrounded by enemies trying to defend their airfield.
I don't understand why you would need a datacenter in a war zone.
Assuming you're able to get it running, what are you going to connect it to anyway? What is it going to do?
I participated in the standing up of an MPLS blackcore network with 5+ other "internets" (the one you know as the internet is one of many) using this mpls black core as a transport network. The amount of IT infrastructure in the middle of nowhere rivals that of many fortune 500 companies.
while heat and reliable electricity remain issues, cisco gear can run at temperatures up to 130F reliably.
Every movie i've ever purchased from a hadj in afghanistan or some little old lady in the back of a restaurant in New York has done one of two things. 1)It's either completely turned me off of the movie because it was horrible. This doesn't cost a thing because now the money never changed hands; in the case of ultraviolet, i had to go get my money back for the movie being so terrible. 2)Has been awesome enough that i either simply want to see it on the theater screen with their lovely DTS surround or I want to watch it in 3D on a huge screen.
I'm a huge supporter of try before you buy. I had frozen MONTHS before it released on dvd and still ended up taking my daughters to the movies multiple times to see it.
so, just like your data communications in your house, if you don't want someone eavesdropping on your conversation toss a type1 encryption device in front of it, like every other security conscious satcom user.
You will see this behavior pretty frequently if you SSL offload with an f5 or if you filter ssl websites with bluecoats. Im sure there are a slew of other legit apps that also do this. Eg. we blocked youtube, but everyone knew to bypass this you could goto https://youtube.com/ so we started intercepting ssl certificates to block the traffic. In our case; we only intercepted SOME ssl traffic depending on destination to avoid the issue you're discussing but presumably if we just intercepted all and filtered after the fact, you would have seen the same issue.
If one trusted the government prior to the revelations provided by the NSA leaks, why would they not still trust the government? Think about it, we provide the information to the government, the government therefore has access to this data and presumably are the only ones who can view it. the NSA is the government... i would expect that government agencies can view data i provide to a different agency... therefore, knowing that the NSA is logging you changes nothing.
the only significant difference is now, we know that if you put data on another carrier, the NSA will still see it... so regardless of location, your data is going to be viewed by the government.
Now, I assume we're all pretty good with computers, so I have to ask; Why would any of you buy a tivo? you pay monthly for it, are limited by tivo hardware, and it's got a gay name. Why not build or use one of those computers you have in storage, put two 500gb hds in raid0 and install media center edition? Works just as well, and when u need more space, pop in a new harddrive. You can even burn your movies straight to dvd... what more could you ask for?
how about if 3 of the 8 or 9 you watch aren't 1$, but 5$ instead. Or be more drastic, say a package is bundled for a certain price, if you break the bundle, a channel you might watch is 10$, so 3 channels are 5$ each 1 is 10$ and the rest are anywhere from.50 to 3.00$... you see where im going? Channels are not all the same price.
I don't see the monopoly in all this. I've lived in quite a few placed, i've had dishnetwork, directv, comcast, time warner, and smaller unheard of cable companies... Where is the monopoly? I've had plenty of choices everywhere I've lived. And the other channels you get? It's to make YOU, the consumer feel good. think of it this way. Say 5 channels which are very popular each cost 5$ a month, and some other channels cost a quarter, and some are just free when bundled. Well, you want alacarte, so you take just the 5 popular channels, thats 25$, who wants to pay 25$/mo for 5 channels? no one does, so you take bundled packs of channels you may not watch, but you end up with 30 channels for the same price.
Adding to the list of colleges, i would add MIT and perhaps some of the DeVRY schools, don't be fooled by the technical university titles, these are nationally accredited colleges which offer even master's degrees.
My major is computer science, with a concentration in Internet and web technology. It takes out most of the math, and focuses more on networking, and web development. However, to work in the computer industry you generally need to at least know boolean algebra and perhaps linear algebra along with some programming.
Since I'm pretty sure no one could possibly appreciate the numerous bugs and issues caused by Microsoft... I've decided billy must be hittin' it in order to get knighted... will he stop at nothing!?
Perhaps it was the news crews who violated it, since they are the ones who record and air the news. Don't blame the US for actions of a small group. moron.
If i tell you im coming to your house to kill you tomorrow, would you call the cops? well, sadam said he had wmd and would use them, so we responded. Try to avoid anonymously being ignorant, and do some research before you open your mouth.
As a soldier, i completely agree. Evaluate your family decisions before choosing to agree to defend something. And for those of you who joined the army just to get the college money, i hope you lose 1 limb for every life that is lost by true patriots.
Keep in mind, it is widely known that he merely CLAIMED to have WMD to keep neighbouring countries in check. By stating he had them, no countries surrounding him would attack, and based on promises from other countries, the US was never going to/really/ attack. Basically, we're looking for something he was lying about. If they do exist, we've done something very good by preventing his use of them, if they don't, then it's his own dumbass fault for lying and getting the beat down.
he never said they worked with back problems, he merely said that they get worse back problems. The point is, back problems are serious and can escalate in to far worse debilitating back problems if not taken care of. The particular job doesn't change that fact.
This is outrageous, how far will the DMCA go before those in charge realize what it's doing to us. How much will it take before soemone decides to put an end to it.
WELLLLL actually, after microsoft took over hotmail.com they DID forget to renew. A guy in the Nashville Linux User's Group is actually responsible for purchasing the domain and contacting microsoft to transfer it to them. He was compensated and got a little extra, although not much.. He also got quite a bit of fame, a hardcore linux user saves microsoft's hotmail? heh

i always just call it linux no matter what kind I'm using.. do people actually call it gnu/linux rather than linux? or even KDE/Gnu/Linux ??
do you just type it, or actually say "I use gnu linux"
