    I'm running on the GPRS package from rogers with a Lite Data plan.

    This allows me to get around 56k connection, of course this is the optimum connection speed.

    Since I only use this for checking my email, surfing the web, and sshing into my home system, this works pretty good. Just a warning though, it can get a bit expensive if your going to do alot of downloading.

  20. Don't use a smartphone... on Smartphone Suggestions for Text SSH Use? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    IMHO a smartphone is a bad choice. At my work IT complains about the smartphones they have tried. I've had a smart phone, got rid of it, and went with this combo.

    Try this instead,

    - Sony Ericsson T637 - (bluetooth enabled cell)
    - Palm (some sort with bluetooth) - Example - Tungsten Tseries
    - PSSH - http://www.sealiesoftware.com/pssh/ (free open source ssh client)

    Reason behind this:
    1) You get the clarity of a real cell phone. Some smart phones have really bad static on the 'cell phone' side of them.
    2) Easy to access when your on the phone with tech support for your servers (IBM, Sun, etc). You don't need to 'hold on.. i'll try that and call you back'.
    3) Palm has software for your addresses / phone / internet / email.

    Anyways... that's just a thought.

  24. Re:A word of warning to those thinking of buying on Star Wars Galaxies Jump to Lightspeed Reviewed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've got a good suggestion based on the information based above.

    Try out World Of Warcraft, I myself just uninstalled and removed my account from SWG because of JTL. Why? The same reasons above, and more.

    - Promises not being kept (Smuggler Revamp)
    - Crazy amount of XP needed to proceed
    - Messed up economy where ships / houses / anything important will cost you your life savings.
    - The horrible grind.

    Anyways, World Of Warcraft has solved a lot of these issues. The gameplay is 100X what I've seen in SWG. The graphics are phenomenal, and your not stuck in 1 or 2 professions.

    Here's the choices.

    1) 9 Character Races (Tauren, Human, Dark Elf, Etc)
    2) 9 Main Base Classes (Hunter, Rogue, Warrior, Etc)
    3) 8 Primary Professions (Mining, Engineering, Tailor, Etc )
    - You can choose two of these.
    4) 3 Secondary Professions (Fishing, Cooking, First Aid)
    - These are optional, but you can take them all.

    The possibilities are endless.

    For Example:
    I have a Tauren Hunter that has Engineering and Mining as his professions. I also took Fishing, First Aid and Cooking for my Secondary Professions. These Secondary profession are free and don't hurt you at all ;)

    Anyways, There is currently a open beta trial that blizzard and fileplanet have released.
