Actually, to be really precise it's not even officially RJ45 but why go into that...
Actually, if you're going to be a pedant, you do have to go all the way. For the intents and purposes of the headline, however, the vernacular 'ethernet cable' is sufficient.
It doesn't matter what the cable is for. It is what it is. And that is an ethernet cable with fancy proprietary strain-reliefs on the ends. Look at the picture. Look at a piece of Cat-5/6. They're electrically identical.

GPS is a completely different signal from GSM and uses satellites rather than phone base stations.
Welcome to the wonderful world of A-GPS. Cool when you have unlimited data, a sneaky way for the cell company to pad your bill when you forget to turn it off if you don't.
There is of course the separate question of seeing private emails from that time published. That is something I wouldn't appreciate, and unfortunately something that seems to have happened here.
The truly interesting part of that is that Bywater is the only one who complained yet his email was not published. He gets petulant about the notion that his story wasn't told, but then uses that as the basis for an excuse to withhold his story. A serious WTF moment.
Then please explain the silent 'c' in Connecticut; and the vast difference in pronounciation between Kansas / Arkansas
In the native population, it's not silent, it's just over with in a damned hurry. As for Kansas that's always Kan-zsuhs, but whether you say Ar-kun-saw or Ar-Kan-zsuhs depends upon which part of the state you are from. Same goes for whether you are an Ar-kun-sah-un or an Ar-Kan-zhuh'n. A similar thing happens in Miz-soury/Miss-Ur-uh. But they're from the South, they kept a lot of the regional accents that they inherited from the Brits.
What's the deal with centre? Is the rhotic pronounced before or after the ultimate vowel? I know that the French, who spell it the same way, pronounce it Sohn-truh.
The parent is a shining example of what would be called -1 Overrated. Not only did he miss the apt definition, the usage in the summary is superior to his suggested alternative, as pointed out by the others above.

Slashdot changed their HTML which broke slashdotter. Slahdotter was updated without changing the version number. If you reinstall it, it will all work again.
A 34-year-old patient who had been treated with radioactive iodine for Graves disease, a thyroid disorder, returned to their clinic three weeks later complaining he had been strip-searched twice in Manhattan subway stations.
Actually, dirty bombs inspire *huge* amounts of terror. A very effective terrorist weapon in fact. Anything with 'nuclear' and 'radiation' in close proximity the fear level goes off the scale.
Fixed that for you.
Dirty bombs have been used to cow hundreds of millions of people in spite of the fact that one has never been shown to exist, let alone be practicable or even practical. An imaginary weapon has succeeded where direct warfare and the loss of tens of millions has failed.
Yes, and we're also talking about the same agency that forgot that there is a difference between metres and feet.
Umm, no. That was the private sector. Lockheed-Martin to be precise.
The Mars Climate Orbiter was intended to enter orbit at an altitude of 140-150 km above Mars. However, a navigation error caused the spacecraft to reach as low as 57 km. The spacecraft was destroyed by atmospheric stresses and friction at this low altitude. The navigation error arose because a NASA subcontractor (Lockheed Martin) used Imperial units (pound-seconds) instead of the metric units (newton-seconds) as specified by NASA.
Sadly, this is one of those fictions like "Al Gore claimed he invented the internet" that will never die because certain prejudices are stronger than reality in a significant portion of the populace.
For tenure and evaluation purposes, a lot of universities are, uh, somewhat hostile to anything resembling self-publication. Hell, they're hostile to non-academic publishing at all sometimes; there was a prospective hire eval at the university I'm at where the guy got shredded for publishing a children's book on the side.
Add to that a lot of the faculty who are going to be in a decision to Decide Your Career are still going to be the type that assume "online source = intrinsically bad" for the forseeable future, and the idea of starting one's own journal is a no-starter unless they pull off something legendary to pre-fill it with prestige first.

It seems to me that you could stand to read your sig. Perhaps take it to heart. Not just you, of course.
I'm curious about something too. Why was the parent modded down twice (troll and overrated)? I don't think those were particularly insightful, but even if you worked for GE and this was your baby, you'd have a hard time getting angry at those questions. I suspect that the metamods are not going to be kind.
I prefer Greek or Roman mythology over placenames Redstone , conceptual names Endeavour, Opportunity, Discovery , or quasi-patriotic names like Colombia .
Venus rotates once every 243 days--by far the slowest rotation period of any of the major planets.
Which, while interesting
...more interesting is...
And retrograde.
If viewed from above the Sun's north pole, all of the planets are orbiting in a counter-clockwise direction; but while most planets also rotate counter-clockwise, Venus rotates clockwise in "retrograde" rotation.
I don't know what it's like where you are from, but where I grew up umpteen is a really large number. On the order of a million or more. Seems perfectly in line with modern scientific thought myself.
This is all terribly unfair to the instrument makers. They've only been paid once for their work, their artistry. These musicians expect to buy once and use them continually without ever again compensating the poor instrument maker for their effort again. The damned leaches!

He wasn't. For some strange reason ACs start out at -1 now
