    Because the jack connects the cable to the hardware. Is RJ-45 capable of achieving the same speeds as cat5e or cat6 with this new standard?

    Cables are made to one standard, jacks to another. The cable itself might be capable of multi-Gb data transmission, but is RJ-45 hardware up to the same task?

    What I was getting at is cat5, cat5e, cat 6 etc, might be capable of multi-Gb/s data transmission but those are cable standards. Is RJ-45 up to the task of multi-Gb data transmission?

  6. Peter Thiel is an outspoken critic of the administration, and a gay Republican. Stop feigning ignorance.

  7. They discriminate against American Asians.

  8. This government? Politically motivated? Not a chance!

  9. Universities in America discriminate against Asians in exactly the same way. Literally exactly the same way. Asians are admitted at a much lower rate than of which they apply.

    No. I'm talking in the physics sense. A generator with no load on it produces voltage but no current. It produces electricity, but it doesn't go anywhere. The only way you can physically dump excess electricity is by using it to do work. Which makes it not excess by definition.

    That's not really dumping it. That's converting it to potential energy. The OP was implying that it gets dumped, as in wasted. Which I don't understand. Because if you don't use electricity, it doesn't really get generated in the first place.

    I wonder how much they get in tax credits for this.

    America was built on legal and controlled immigration. There is a difference between immigrants and illegal aliens.

  16. The information was classified at the time it was sent. Hilalry signed an NDA when she started as SoS that acknowledged that not all classified information will be marked as such.

    That being said. An epi auto-injector costs about 10$ to make. In a logical world, a device manufacturer should be able to make an injector to already approved designs, and sell it as a generic without approval. It's no mistake that mylan's CEO is the daughter of a senator and a former lobbyist.

    Generic drugs and medical devices still have to be approved by the FDA. It's not that easy.

    Those countries that have universal health care, also have more than one type of epi-pen available. Their regulators haven't induced a monopoly like ours has.

    I disagree. If people can do it with visible spectrum vision, an accelerometer, and feedback through the steering system, then so can a computer. It's a software issue.

    I appreciate the humor. But it is simply false that automation is only used in niche markets. I say this as a manufacturer that actually has knowledge of how automation is used in industry.
