Two hours vs. instant streaming isn't a localization issue, you can easily stream 1-2mbps (or much more) from half way around the world. ~100ms in latency is nothing with a fat, non time sensitive stream like recorded video.\

It sounds like the specific POP the google DNS server is being fed is overloaded with traffic. It should be fairly easy for Apple to resolve the problem on their end, by simply not resolving to overloaded pops (they shouldn't ever anyway).

Other video cdn backed services (like netflix) don't suffer POP overloading on public DNS servers like GTE or open.

you are fucking awesome

Windows server 2008 and 2008R2 both support no GUI installations called "server core" and can be managed with CLI tools (minus a few exceptions).

Thanks for the secunia pointer, seems like just the type of thing I've been wanting.

Community Edition is free comes as a binary or full git tree, lags a revision behind. You can't buy support or prof services for it, but I'm assuming you aren't in the market for those if you can't/won't spend $800

Ahh, I was trying to figure out how I missed that - turns out the link to the article starts you on the second page where the disclaimer is nowhere to be found. Not that it's a dig on gamasutra as it's clearly stated in the title. Just wish /. had mentioned it before I read most of the way through and was wondering why I felt like I was reading and intel ad.

Otherwise how could you think that v.32bis (14.4k) was introduced in 1980? I had to look it up to see what the hell they were on about, apparently the 1980 figure comes from a break through channel coding paper written in 1980 at IBM that didn't even get passed around for a few years. The reality is that the public had to wait nearly a decade before those techniques were out of the lab, and a few more years before a standard was ratified. Trying to figure out what niche this article fills - the wiki article on modems does a far better job at going over the same info. Hell, the author of TFA even put an old-time(tm) bw filter on a photo from the late 80s trying to make it seem like a shot with a laptop came from the 60s.

I think you need more than one person to apply the tag before it hits the article summary. Tagging appropriate articles with slashvertisement will often (but not always) show up on the article for a short period of time until an editor blocks it. I assume someone else has added it too when it does show up, but I guess I don't really know.

Probably helpful to the thief if your car is stolen, they can head right to your house while you're still trying to find out if it's been towed even if you don't actively tell the car where your home is.

It sounds like your small S corp consultancy that helps people run their businesses could use a small consultancy to help you run yours. At the very least you probably should learn a bit more about contracts and meeting requirements somewhere, having a piece of software that writes you a contract by popping up a dialog box "Enter Consultants Name:" isn't going to work out very well. At the risk of committing slashdot heresy, I'd suggest books. There is a large and well established free repository of them near you, it's called your local library.

So you're saying people swallow guns, knives and cell phones?

Is this a trick question? Whoever offered the best kick-backs of course.

You have to give them props for the time travel invention though - it's pretty impressive to rip off a movie five years before it came out.
