They are the ones who don't understand us. Do they think they can build a country on the back of a population that is depressed, insecure and psychotic?

There are a lot of things that needs changing and work in Lebanon, and at the end of the list, last but not least, all the faces that remind the people of civil war have to go, this means most of the politicians and the political families.

This is why so many persons consider this list of things then consider that it is easier to just emigrate. Not that emigration is easy, it just appears easier than bringing the standards of living in Lebanon up to expectations.

But now that I think of it, I think this country needs just two things and all the rest will follow. These are:

1. Hope
2. Time

But, eh, personally I have barely enough hope or time for myself, so...

nuclearcat wroteIs ISP+DSP both cedarcom?
I heard many negative rumours about cedarcom from ISPs, interested to know feedback from users.

Hybrid wroteNo one ever give a specific deadline, they just say "short period of time", "in a matter of weeks", which pretty much shows incompetence

nuclearcat wroteThere is some rumours, that big isps want to kick out by law small cable isps from market.
Here is what it will lead: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/17/02/25/0446242/how-cable-monopolies-hurt-isp-customers

anayman_k7 wroteI built 3 to 4 systems with it, I did choose it because of the 40$ for all the features it has, here are the pros and negatives.

Pros:
- Black chassis with orange interior
- Bottom mounted PSU with removal dust filter
- Side plastic window
- Tool-less 3.5" and 2.5" drive cages
- Acceptable space for cable management
- Comes with 1 preinstalled 120mm rear fan and has 2x120mm empty slots in the front and 2x120mm on the top (you can mount a 240mm radiator)
- Useful 2xfan controls and usb power only at the top for device charging but be aware that the fan controls requires Molex from PSU to power up and 3pins plug that will be connected to the fan (Good in case you got a low budget board which comes only with 1xcase fan header)

Cons:
- Very thin medal
- Charging usb port on top was dead in couple of days in my last build (not a big problem, you still have usb2 and usb3 in the front)
- PCIE medal covers are hard to remove and they cant be installed back (you could bend the whole metallic back, I advise you check which are the one you need to populate and pop them out before you install your board)
- (Not 100% sure) DVD plastic covers can not be reinstalled once removed


At the end and by looking to Price/Specs and other offers in the market this case really shine, it is my top one choice for budget builds with the good look requirement (Don't forget to order an extra 120mm fan(s), with Red Led in the front it will make the case look very nice)

MrClass wrote Again nuclearcat, that's my experience. Don't roast me for that

Im just saying, that in Lebanon, especially with crappy ISPs everywhere and very low quality standards experience usually vary from 0 to 100%.
I guess if topic starter will do wrong decision, and wont understand what are exactly possible weak points, it might cost him his business and investments.
Btw about link being faded by building and construction, definitely you need to make sure there is clear LOS to base, and not only LOS, but also fresnel zone clear. Many DSPs is deadly illiterate in wireless and ignore fresnel zone totally, then link becoming a lottery, sometimes works, sometimes not.

MrClass wrote If you're going with a dedicated line, I highly advise to negotiate who the DSP will be. Cable1 and Pesco are great if you have coverage there. NEVER GO WITH GDS. EVER.

Brownies wroteTitle says it all; Share your scariest real life experience. No troll posts like "I woke up one day and my Laptop wouldn't start #SoScary".
I'll go first:

So my girlfriend and I like to have our private time, just like any other couples, to sit down and talk and maybe even share a few kisses.
Since we're both university students, we live with our parents and so going home isn't always an option. We often take the car out and I park somewhere secluded with a view where we can be alone.

One night, while in the car in our secluded area, we were just doing the usual flirting and whatever and she starts telling me she's hearing noises. Thinking that this could be turning into a cheesy horror movie, I told her to relax and it was probably nothing. Suddenly I began to hear some noises in the tress/bushes near the car; like something was moving around but I ignored it. She became increasingly worried and so did I as the noises became more frequent. We've been in this spot many times before and nothing like this has ever occurred.
I decided we should probably leave so I turned on the car, backed out and left.
While I was backing out, my girlfriend was on the phone so she didn't see what I saw as we were leaving; The car light were on so as I was driving back, the lights revealed a man, crouched in the bushes (very visible) holding something that shined. We made eye contact and I didn't react other than backing up a little quicker and driving off.

I'm still not sure what the hell that guy was holding, who he was, or what he was doing in the forest next to our car.
We never went back and I never told her.

Can't wait to hear your stories!
tl;dr : Some weirdo was stalking our parked car with something shiney in his hand. Spoiler: Wasn't Sméagol.
