I got dibs at valet for the company parking lot.

Oh, absolutely. You have one of the cleanest, nicest rigs here, so I know that any of us would trust you to park any of our rigs on a rock pile.

Yep, totally got that covered :cheers:

Looks like IT is on the ball. Here's a standard helpdesk script for you: :rtm:

Greeting: "Hello, helpdesk, how may I frag your machine today?"
All problems are then resolved with: "Have you tried rebooting?"

Hey! You told me to do that to my inoperative XBox 360!

No, thats your crappy cell reception. What I said was "have you tried booting it across the room"

You know I did that with my PS2.

I still cringe when I think about that.

The therapeutic destruction of a piece of broken electronics makes you cringe?

Call me geek, but yeah.

That's OK.....I hear you can fix anything.

as a former direcway installer I can tell you this.
The transmit side is weak due to FCC regs on power levels. a heavy cloud cover is usually enough to disturb it, unless you're installer was real good and cross pol'd it well.
Rain kills the upload.
latency is between 5-800 ms.
hardware is good with the new 7000 series and up, but it's ust the nature of the beast to have high latency. Transfer speeds are usually in the 2mb range.
There are many satellites, but most have a low angle, so if you have any trees to the south you'll likely have a problem.

I help out where I can...and some places I can't.

Well, I live in a small gully, I have very large tree's surrounding me, It is cloudy here about 400 days out of the year and rains about 365 of them.
The installed couldn't get as many sat as he wanted, and he was concerned about several tree's and thought we should pull them down.
Mine is a Direcway (I guess they got bought out now) 7000 series. I have almost long enough to pay off the equipment charges but "most" of the time it is not significantly worse than dsl or cable for normal webwheeling. The only time I have significant issues is when it is really windy (a handfull of days a year).

In my opinion it is ONLY a solution for those that have NO other option and have someone else to pay for it It is FAR better than dialup!!

We could make it mandatory. Plus, you forgot straightest!

AND

As a electronics tech in the Corps we could fix 10% of problems with "gravitational impedence testing." Your basic drop it off the workbench and hope it stays in one piece troubleshooting. I could do that too.

Don't forget "percussive maintenance" with blunt objects (BFH often works). I think we've got some ideas good going here. I can't wait for our IPO! We'll all be rich!

My rear wiper motor requires intensive percussive maintenance. I had considered replacing it with a new updated fully operational model, but I simply enjoy smacking the shat out of things with a large hammer too much.

In my experiance there are very few things on a jeep that cannot be fixed with a large hammer.

I said HAMMER not Hammering against trees. Repairing tree hammering is what the hot glue gun is for.
