That kid is nuts, but to be fair his options are either "Die or live in Eastern Europe" so there's not much to lose there, haha.

This kid has suicidal tendencies at best and is a total fucking loon at worst.

There's a name for this kind of stuff, but I forget what it's called. There's now people all around the world who do this. The producers of the latest? 007 movie hired one guy to perform the stunts in the opening chase scene. But yeah, it's insane.

The awesome spinning progress icon almost makes up for the fact that the movie stopped and buffered every 4 seconds. Almost.

Probably almost as annoying as that dial-up sound you get everytime you try to connect to the internet, eh? :twisted:

Guess that Mp3 didn't work.

Seriously though - that kid is nuts. Of course Blue is probably dead on balls accurate.

I know... just breaking balls.

it's actually a very big file. It took a little while for it to load for me too. One of those vids you have to pause and let load for a couple minutes before you play it.

This is what I was thinking of...... it's called Parkour

"This is a short part of Casino Royale, well one of my Favourites parts, the stunt man (Sebastien Foucan) performs some awesome Parkour. If u like the following 007 vid, u must see these:" http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=parkour&search=Search

I know. I just don't understand how someone who is capable of creating such a pretty progress bar has absolutely no concept of time....if the connection is this, and the file is that then buffer this long.

Don't you be sizing up my pipes!

I did that test at work. They throttle weird things, so if I connect to St. Louis (for instance) I get 1 Mbps up and down.

On the topic of inept IT Departments, I also found out that my work does not want me to have a wifi hotspot in my office. Apparently they can fire me over this. If I want wifi (which by the way, they are supposed to provide for me) I have to spend $1200 out of my boss's budget. As a preventative measure, I hid my SSID. :sly:

I can understand IT wanting to protect network access to the company LAN, but what kind of wifi access point costs 1200 bucks?

Its not really a matter of network security. The campus Wifi password is publicly available. Additionally each user has to register the mac address of each network interface they want to use on the network, wired or wireless to access the network in any capacity. I've set my router to forward DHCP authentication toward their DHCP server....basically they control who connects to the network through my router. It is just an access point really no different than the one that they offer...mine is actually probably more secure.

I don't really know why it costs 1200 bucks. Enterprise routers arn't cheap, but they shouldn't be 1200 bucks. A side story: about a year ago, my boss got his computer upgraded. (btw, they ran off with the old Computer, which was supposed to be my upgrade from Pentium 4 land :evil: ) He had a backup of his old computer safely on his new computer...a month passes. Apparently IT has a policy that they delete your backups that reside on your computer after a month. They made him pay 50 dollars to recover the data that they deleted.

They seem to have the mentality that the employees are there to serve them. </random rant>

Ever see the movie 'Brazil'? You'd enjoy it... takes what your talking about to the extreme and turns it into a ridiculous comedy.
