    Or in a hotel room, maybe?

    Maybe... although I would prefer that most hotels get decent wireless then a switch.

    This wouldn't be that bad for travel either, although there are smaller more effective ways to do this.

    yeah as long as they enable WPA and just post the password everywhere, please!

    I consider Omaha Nebraska a major metro - but it's clearly not a HUGE metro like LA or Chicago or New York.

    I don't think office 365 was too late to the party. If they did it any earlier they would have had more problems than they did anyway (and they had quiet a bit of problems early on).

    Heck the place I'm going through the interview/background process with has had licenses for all employees for office 365 for about 1.5 years. But, It just takes so much time to move everyone they are only at about 20% of people on office 365 now. They have 3 exchange servers on site. and over 20TB of mailboxes. (Don't remember exactly how many thousands of users) But, yeah it take people plenty of time to migrate.

    And if you have a lot of employees that don't need full on exchange, I'm thinking places where only managers get exchange but normal employee don't last long. Then Rackspace has a better deal for hybrid system with their email and exchange.

    I wouldn't install Personal use software in a normal company, that's a bad idea and just asking for trouble.

    However in my case it's fine. None of the free or personal use software I have is licensed based on where it's installed but based on it's use. It's fairly common for company to even give out NFR/Non-Commercial use software when you do some pro-bono work that could use it.

    Still looks good though, if it's a toss-up between shoot it or not, then use 4:2:2. - Very few actually go to the time and painstaking effort of properly grading their work anyway.

    Any professional will use LUTs and do the edit then during the post process it gets send to a color house to do the final color work. Coloring is just like special effects they are done by facilities that specialize in that and only do that.

    I should also point out that I attempt to do the news posting when there are lulls in the conversation, otherwise, rather than when things are busy. That way if people are looking for something happening they are more likely to find it. I try to use it to even out the traffic flow a tiny bit. Once it a while it prompts conversations at an odd hour.

    Not sure how they handle the 1:1 Nat mapping of those IPs at the OS level.. Or I guess they might just add a new Nic for each IP.

    I contracted at Fuze for a few months -- The company uses the product for every meeting so it is effectively user-tested daily.

    The video definition is high and it handles conferencing with hundreds of individual dial-ins well. Chat is associated with a meeting so that concurrent side conversations can take place without interrupting the speaker. You can set up groups to assign different permission levels to so for example, for a more interactive session, you could create a group with the ability to request the screen and to show video or their desktop.

    I would suggest contacting sales and ask for a free trial period. It's been a couple of years since I've used it extensively so I'm sure there are a lot of new features I'm missing

    Thanks for that info. I will get in touch with sales.

    This isn't something we are going to use everyday so the price looks reasonable.

    With so many services starting up, there is a lot of chances for things to have not all fired up yet.

    Ok, I'd think it'd be a simple thing to add the CentOS 6 repos, run a yum update, and allow the packages to update. What makes it not that simple?

    That it does nothing. A CentOS 5 system, pointed to CentOS 6 repos will simply see the as not applying. You can't change your OS version using YUM.

    Oh, I was not aware of that.

    Maybe you are thinking of Minor release updates, not major release.

    Yeah, must be.
