    at hmc, last I heard, our situation was this:

    The older dorms are wired with 10mbit copper

    The newer dorms and academics buildings are wired with 100mbit copper.

    we've got some number of T1 lines connected to our primary ISP, qwest.

    just recently, we acquired a second ISP (verizon), and a t3 from them.

    We also went live with a gigabit connection to internet2.

    while this is technically split between 6 small schools, our one school uses the majority of it....

    its nice. very very nice.

  10. (ot)No mystery. SPAM� luncheon meat is ham. by yerricde · · Score: 1 · on Are SPAM Blacklists Unreasonable?

    Meat product? I thought we were talking about SPAM?

    SPAM® luncheon meat is a meat product. From SPAM Facts:
    • Chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added
    • Salt (for binding, flavour, and firmness)
    • Water (to help in mixing)
    • Sugar (for flavour)
    • Sodium Nitrite (for colour and as a preservative)

    "Pork shoulder meat" has the same characteristics as ham meat.

    energy content of alcohol 23.4 x 106 J/Liter

    from the same paper, for gasoline:

    energy produced by combustion of 1.0 L gasoline 32 x 106 J

    From the tech newsgroups, Tom Box states:

    The composition of gasoline can vary significantly. Assuming for simplicity that it's pure normal octane, then 1,000,000 joules = 20.88 g. At room temperature and pressure, that's 29.7 cm^3. For the metrically challenged, that's about one fluid ounce.

    75 kWh corresponds to 8.03 litres of octane, or just over 2 U.S. gallons.

    And a word from the top fueler's on how tricky it is to get alcohol to burn like gasoline:

    And here's a good discussion how alcohol performs in race cars and why it is used in them rather than by consumers.
