It is definatly a major pain when your a web developer, because you refresh the page, adding enough to trip it! It also doesn't elo that I have to go to my friends house just a street down who has super-high-speed with no FAP to download large files... I always feel creepy with a laptop sitting on the side of their house, just where I'll get their wifi. But the fiber-optics just have to stop at their road.

I had stepped away from using lookup fields after I read that article too. Thanks for providing some additional insight. Excellent counterpoints!!

I've been waiting for an update to the API to allow that, but might have to resort to a more hack-y approach in the meantime.

Any possibility to scratch out the text for attachments to a note (either by itself or everything together)? Many times our note is still valid, but I want to make sure folks don't test the wrong file, etc. Thanks! I like the scratchout plugin; while simple it’s rather useful.

]]> Comment on The End of HughesNet as we know it, and I feel fine. by Sebastian http://improvingsoftware.com/2009/05/09/the-end-of-hughesnet-as-we-know-it-and-i-feel-fine/#comment-556 Sebastian Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:50:28 +0000 http://improvingsoftware.com/?p=525#comment-556 I am in complete agreement with the article. Their claims on SPEED are absolutely FALSE. The technical support offered is useless, subversive, and insulting. After purchasing all their equipment upfront I pay $70/mo and my average speeds are 50 kbps download and 120 kbps upload. When I call to complain they require me to test this every morning, noon and night for 3 days, and call them back with the data... BEFORE offering any fix. HughesNet is an abusive and elusive bunch of thieves who are cheating a hostage clientele and are completely unregulated! They must be sued and vanquished!!

I copied and pasted it right off my account. I imagine it's because I have the hn9000 which is the cheapest but they won't let me upgrade online. Anyone feel totally hamstrung by this company?
