Best Buy offends me, again

[vanaabegra]

Best Buy has a long and sordid history of offense. News of false imprisonment, failed customer service, failed "Optimization" service for PCs and TVs. The offense today was another joint effort between Best Buy and Geek Squad

If all you're doing is downloading from the great web, then it doesn't much matter. However, I have a few servers on the internal network, and being able to stream media to them at high speed is a Good Thing. Bear in mind I also would really like to be able to stream multiple full-HD streams from a server simultaneously so I can manage only one copy of my source material, otherwise I end up having to host multiple copies of reallyfreakinbig files on individual editing and effect machines.

You are an exception to needing more bandwidth, but the sign did not say you want N+ for parallel HD manipulation...

I dunno. Download enough porn and you can saturate anything. Plus there's the botnet you're hosting that I uploaded a few gaming sessions ago. :)

What? The Albanian mob pays well. Sorry man.

The only time I have saturated my wireless network is transferring lots of crap between internal nodes. It'll crap out faster if I'm doing that kind of data transfer on wireless->wireless.

Carl has the ability to saturate our wireless network by doing large downloads simultaneously from multiple machines. This why we also have a 1 Gbps *wired* network. (We also have two high speed connections, one fiber and one cable, but that's another story).
