Last name is Doyle, Heather, 2nd lt. flys black hawks. She moved there I would say two-three weeks ago.

Michael, how bad is the latency on the sat connection? Quick math says the ping times should be around 1 sec (round trip to L1 orbit times 2), is that about right?

Check your math.

Geosync is 22,500 miles.

if i see her i'll introduce myself. only 3 places she could go, so i'll keep an eye out for her.

Just because I am a rocket scientist doesn't mean I understand anything about computers and connections. I do know that they have advertised speeds both up and down (1 is significantly faster than the other). To be honest, It has worked pretty well since I have figured out it's glitches (it's kind of like driving a british car

I would say that 95% of the time it is very close to as good as Cable or DSL. Obviously VERY expensive to pay off the equipment. If I had the choise of either Cable or DSL, I would have gone that way, but when you live in the boonies you don't always get the choice.

I believe that Al Gore invented the Internet while he was in Alaska!!

Yes it is, and I used the value in km for the cocktail napkin calculation. :doh:

A little under 500ms latency if you don't mix up the units. This is the sort of mistake that crashes mars probes into planets ...

Your internet connection leaks oil? :scared:

So Chuck Norris, Al Gore and The Internet walk into a bar in Alaska ..

Yeah, like Ian said, the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the beat. :lecture:

For what its worth, I'm a Click Network / Netventure guy myself......but that's only in Tacoma. I think I get 6 gazillapixels per second coming through the intertube; its remarkable......

Yes it does, it is also expensive to maintain.

Yes it is.

Maybe we could move this thread to the Advanced Tech area?
better yet we could start an "advanced tech for web wheelers forum"?

I've got a great idea for a startup:

I'll run the math dept (we can contract to NASA for their Mars lander re-entry calculations).

Michael and Jay will run the IT/Network operations.

Matt can be VP of Jeep Wrenching.

Chuck Norris will be CEO of course, after roundhouse kicking Al Gore into geosych orbit.

Headquarters in Alaska.

..

I don't see how we could fail. :smoker:

FYI

Cable is substandard for anything other than data.

Who needs a spotter when it's not my rig? Hope the company has good insurance

By the way I told you he was a crappy spotter when I was stuck on a rock before you guys were nailing rocks too!

Yep, totally got that covered:cheers:


I was supposed to post the following:
"I think this is how our Federal government was formed"

Sorry for the inability of our new IT department.
