Cable Wars: Cat 6 vs Cat 7 vs. Cat 5e?

stone22 asks: "My company has decided to install a gigabit link. This will be initially used only for testing purposes, and on the longterm as a backbone for our corperate network.

Only if the product was a complete 3D modeling program that he was writing himself, and had no clue as to how to write a program, and if he wanted to put together a Beowulf cluster of Playstation 2's to do it, and if he wanted to steganographically encode pirated MP3's into the 3d models produced by the program, and if he wanted to run Linux on a hacked X-Box to control the cluster, and if he wanted to port some utilities for the application from the obviously dying FreeBSD, and if he then wanted to organize the tasks for the project on some super-cool PDA that those fuckers in Japan will just sit on and never release in the U.S.

Then it'd be the perfect Slashdot troll.
