3Com's 10/100 Switching... Wallplate
An anonymous reader wrote in to say "Tom's hardware has an exclusive review of the new 3Com Network Jack. This is a 4-port 10/100 switch that fits in a standard-sized wallplate." Alright, thats a good idea (he says while accidentally kicking the switch hidden under his desk). Having run more then my share of ethernet drops in the past, I gotta say I dig this idea.
This first post shit is getting way too easy. I rule.
And avoid the cable all together.
Southern Partisan: Another issue to do with the President is this idea of an International Criminal Court. You've again been one of the few that has been willing to stand up against that.
Senator Ashcroft: It's an outrage! It has the potential of subjecting American citizens, (at least for their actions abroad and maybe for their actions at home) to vague criminal charges that would spring from so-called "crimes against humanity." Some of the things they're listing as crimes against humanity are "enforced pregnancies." There are lots of people who wonder if the culture would decide not to make abortion available, would that mean that they were "enforcing a pregnancy"? For heaven's sake, that would make withholding of an abortion a crime against humanity when many Americans believe that providing an abortion is a crime against humanity. This is a part of this administration's effort at international government, and in order to govern internationally, they have to sacrifice sovereignty at every turn.
You mentioned Ronald Reagan. Let me just run something by you. Ronald Reagan had a profound impact in terms of the way the world operates. But it wasn't because he would sacrifice sovereignty. Ronald Reagan did not see himself as a governor of the world, he saw himself as a leader of the world. Instead of sacrificing to some coalition or committee bits of U.S. sovereignty as a way of influencing the course of world events, he would strengthen the position of the United States and lead the world to his point of view. That's a profound difference.
Please use the following examples to improve your usage of then and than:
"I ate more jello than you."
"If you give me a dollar, then I'll wash your feet."
"Some people are uglier than you."
"Back then, a car cost a dollar."
Thanks.

Not to mention it is ONE cable going back to your main router/switches/servers. So you only have 100Mbps instead of 400Mbps, because four computers are sharing one connection. Not one of Tom's Hardware's best efforts -- the cost analysis is a joke. How about comparing it with just buying a regular switch?
If you're going to correct other people's grammer then please get it right. Although I'm sure you will find that it's not worth the effort.
'Then' is used to indicative whereas 'than' is comparative. Therefore, in your first three examples it would be more appropriate to use 'than' than 'then'. However, in your fourth example it would be more appropriate to use 'then' than 'than'.
Cheers,

---
Than \Than\ ([th][a^]n), conj.
A particle expressing comparison, used after certain adjectives and adverbs which express comparison or diversity, as more, better, other, otherwise, and the like. It is usually followed by the object compared in the nominative case. Sometimes, however, the object compared is placed in the objective case, and than is then considered by some grammarians as a preposition. Sometimes the object is expressed in a sentence, usually introduced by that; as, I would rather suffer than that you should want.
Then \Then\, conj.
In that case; in consequence; as a consequence; therefore; for this reason.
Syn: Therefore.
