100 amps? WOW! A lot of houses don't even have 100 amp feeds. I think you mean watts. P = EI (Watts = Volts * Amps). And even if we talked about amps, it wouldn't be consistent between the US and Europe. In the US, a 300W power supply will draw roughly 2.5 amps (300 Watts / 120 Volts) but in Europe, 1.25 amps (300 Watts / 240 Volts).
Uhm. Don't ever buy cable from Home Depot. You might get a batch that's good, but you also might get taken. Just remember, places like Home Depot go with the lowest bidder no matter what the quality. Go with Belden MediaTwist and Panduit jacks and patch panels if you want to be consistently good. MediaTwist is a crescent shaped cable that improves cross talk. It's rated to 350 MHz.
I'd still consider this a plenum. The National Electrical Code refers to a plenum as, "a compartment or chamber to which one or more air ducts are connected and that forms part of the air distribution system." I would call a ventilation shaft something that distributes air and therefore a plenum. Even if its not technically a plenum its still advisable to use plenum rated cable or metallic conduit because in the event the fire spread out of the shaft, you wouldn't be happy.
Actually the TNN version would be best. You have to remember this: TNN is The Nashville Network. Whenever they're not broadcasting square dancing competitons (which is actually often), it's something mechanical. NASCAR is on quite a lot and I wouldn't doubt that TNN has the record for most hours of Dukes of Hazard played. Ever.
Um, I didnt say that at all, and I'm sorry you thought I did. I've used jabber on windows (its the only platform ive tried it on). I'm positive that the majority of my friends would have difficulty setting it up. And it's not the be all end all to the point that it makes AOL look like a joke. I'd be perfectly content with having gaim display ads and still be allowed to use AIM, that, to me, seems perfectly fair to both parties.
Of course you could. There's a finite number of md5sums: 32^36 (32 characters, 0 - 9, a - z) which is 2^180. Have fun finding that "quantum entangled" string of bits, though. But seriously, unless there's some sort of algorithmic shortcut which I'm not aware of, this would be much too different. Especially considerring they're asking for sums of random series of bytes. The probability of creating a file like this is probably close to mathematical impossiblility. Improbability drive anyone? =P
There have been many comments advising people just to dump AOL and switch to like, jabber. That's a really good idea (seriously) and all, but just not practical for some of us. Out of all the people on my buddy list(40 - 50 people), I'm the only one who uses an OS other than windows. Switching to jabber would require 40 other people to switch just to talk to me. But then they have to run AIM as well to talk to the other people they know. In cases like this, its much easier to be a conformist (read: nice guy) and do what's easier for your friends. Jabber can be a bit of a headache to setup especially with transports and this isn't the thing I want my computer novice friends trying to do.
Definitely don't register at Home Depot. The vast majority of tools and hardware made at Home Depot are made deliberately inferior by the manufacturer specially for Home Depot. Quick test: Buy wood screws from Home Depot and wood screws from a good hardware store. Compare screws. Home Depot screws tend to have metal shavings all over the threads whereas the others do not. Just, don't buy stuff at Home Depot, and that is to everyone.

Yea, any freak with a pair of kleins can get into your wire line. Security is relative. Crime rates are higher in cities. Vandalism is higher in cities. The air is something your run-of-the mill vandal can't touch. In that facet, it's somewhat better.
It's also how Theo gets money for OpenBSD. With a community like OpenBSD and the enterprise quality prouct you get from OpenBSD, very few people can't justify the $30 to buy OpenBSD. Most people realize the harsh realities of money and buy things like OpenBSD even though they know they can get it for free. Interestingly enough this is the exact opposite of non-free software. People install Windows off of a CD-R like there is no other way. They don't even think twice about not paying. OpenBSD (et al) made me feel guilty about not buying it and thats why their format works.

Who says if you have a natural gas car that you're allowed to tap into your house's natural gas line. Take diesel fuel and heating oil. They are very much the same except that diesel is a little more purified (although not much) and it is colored. Yet, you aren't allowed (under threat of heavy fines) to use some of your home heating oil in your diesel engine, even though you pay for the oil. Go figure, eh? So, if natural gas cars become as common as everyone would like them to, you can bet there will be measures taken to ensure you don't use your home natural gas to drive around. They'll start selling natural gas at the gas stations which is marketed as being a different kind of gas.
Liberal arts degree? Heh. I think learning things more universal like math is much more important then learning a language that isn't spoken everywhere. Math is the universal language and don't forget it. On a side note, even though music theory is considerred a liberal arts type class, if you think about it, music is all math and thus fringes on the border.
When I was 13 (turning 14) I got a job at a computer firm that did all Microsoft stuff. I had been using Linux then and years before then but I'd settle for a computer job even if it didn't involve Linux. All our software that we write is very (very) heavy database oriented. Despite it revolving all around Microsoft product, I still was able to learn a lot since relationship databases, no matter who they're implemented by, always have the same concept. This allowed me to start playing with SQL on my own after gaining a large amount of experience with MS Access / SQL at work. While I did no programming while there, I was still able to gain enormous knowledge from in particular two guys who worked there. Whenever I had a question about C or math (of effectively any level), the one was always able to help me. The other was also very smart and taught me about state machines, discrete math, etc. All of those things I consider completely indespensible to know. I still work at the same company. It's been almost two years. While it is possible, I find it nearly _impossible_ to learn computer science of any sort (on a smaller scale, math) to any sort of deep understanding in a class setting. Luckily, I'm quite an independant learner and would rather be left to my own devices in order to learn. A camp setting would most likely drive me mad. By your relative (can't remember the relation, been typing too long) some good books and maybe even try to help him find a job.
Heh, I'm lucky enough to work in an office DIRECTLY across the street from Dunkin' Donuts. Anyone who's had Dunkin' Donuts knows that its some of the best coffee around. So when they closed for remodeling for SIX WEEKS, it wasn't fun. In the mean time, we tried to make our own coffee and found out that just because they grow coffee in Columbia does not mean that Columbians can make coffee. And I quote my coworker. "Columbian coffee isn't meant to taste good, its just very strong." Hrrmph. We're still working on a zip line from the Dunkin' Donuts to our office window.
Now, don't get me wrong, the Leatherman Wave is a nice tool. My friend has one, along with the tool adapter. However, I have a Gerber. The 600 if I recall. The way the plier drops is what sold me. I keep it on my belt at all times except at school where I would get expelled and probably arrested for having a weapon. Before I digress... you really have to weigh your options. If you need the knive and other tools a lot, then the Leatherman might be better because you dont have to open the plier to access the knife and other tools. If you use the plier most, the Gerber is better. Just today I was fiddling with the VCR and had to tighten some coax connectors. With a flashlight in one hand, I was able to deploy the plier with only my other hand. Gerber now has a new feature to allow you to custom build a tool on their website a la (insert favorite your way right away computer site). Both tools are built very tough and durability is not an issue. Either way, to break it in, get dry graphite and 3 in one oil or some valve grinding compound and work it in until the plier drops open when you let go of the handle. Oh, and if you don't want either of those, don't buy some chinese knockoff.

Uhm. Obviously you've never seen a Cisco router.
2 + 2 = 5 for exceptionally large values of 2.

Uhm. Some of us don't want users on our network sniffing other users. With switches, it's easy to control who can sniff and who can't

Actually, hydrogen would never just be an H+ ion, it would be a diatomic (H2), when stored as fuel so the reaction is 2H2 + 02 = 2H20.

I saw one run on TV about a year ago. It did work. It was a University project somewhere and it putted around like a golf cart.
