JOEL OSTEEN’s sermon on embracing change:
We have to stay open for change. Don’t approach change from a negative point of view to where you automatically assume its gonna be bad. It may be negative on the surface but remember, God wont allow that to happen if it didn’t have a purpose for you. He’s gonna use it to stretch you. Don’t be discouraged over the people that leave you life. you need to realize it is only the beginning. You may think that they are doing you wrong but they are actually doing you a favor. God would not have stirred it up if he doesn’t have something better in store. When things start stirring, thats a sign transition is coming!

Peter Morrissey is one of the Go-To persons in charge of the AirOrange network at Syracuse University, basically the campus ISP. I recently got to sit down and chat with him to talk about AirOrangeX, the new 802.1X secure WLAN on campus. Here’s some interesting facts I found out:
The university has 2x 200Mbit connections to the internet (both upstream and downstream) and also a 200MBit connection to Internet2 (the lame education network nobody really uses). The university also throttles its traffic, so when you think your bittorent is getting its full university bandwidth, its really not. Its nothing new for a place that needs to protect its users from RIAA legal notices.
This just got me thinking how fast my internet is at my apartment. University has a 400MBit downstream and my Verizon FiOS Business class gives me 50Mbit dedicated downstream. I get a full 6MB/s when I download my torrents. I cant even imagine how fun it would be to use 400MB for myself! Thats 8 times faster that what I have, and prolly like 48MB/second! Wow, thats like downloading Ubuntu’s ISO in under 20 seconds! Gotta love university networks~
