I would think that since the data is on multiple and diverse wires it would make it harder to tap. Still security through obscurity but every bit helps.
I remember back then I had a 386/40 board (CPU soldered on) that would run circles around the 486SX/25.
Almost miss those days, Herc video card, I/O card, HD/FDD card, modem card, and fighting jumper settings for I/O addresses and interrupts. You almost had to sit down with pen and paper to map out your settings before you added anything. Then spend half the day getting config.sys and autoexec.bat and QEMM working right. Bog help you if you wanted to add a network card!
Now excuse me as I go yell at the damn kids on my lawn.
I had a few users at work that were spending too much time on facebook, etc. and management asked me to block it except during breaks. So I fire up an old box and put squid on it and tell AD to force them to proxy through it.
I then did a tail -f on the/var/log/squid3/access.log file and howdy boy do some sites have a lot of crap called when you load a page. Even our small town local newspaper site would call up about 30 different domains on each page load. Some of them would put a java script in to refresh each minute to see how long one stayed on the page.
Now I see why I run no-script and ABP on my boxes.
I started blocking a lot of them but real work called and I'm guessing that I only got about a third of them.
The unfortunate thing is almost all the stuff on the web these days has a no-cache flag so running a proxy for web-cache/bandwidth reduction is almost useless. I only get about 2% cache hits.
Now you make me feel bad that us old-fucks invented the Internet and solid-state devices for you ungrateful punks.
MY 80 year-old mom has no problem with her devices. Maybe YOUR mom is just stupid.
Now excuse this 52 year-old sysadmin as I get a batch of new Windows 8 tablets joined to the domain and VPN so I can send them off to China with our aerospace engineers.
For those familiar with downtown Tampa, it's the building with the gecko on the side, 10th floor, second cage on the left as you come in. I spent 3 weeks working a few cages down and got to chat with the Wikipedia tech.
In our area the desire for narrow band repeater slots got our coordinators to clear out some paper repeaters and make 12.5kHz pairs. It's a start. We're also seeing more and more traffic on the D-Star repeaters. Sure it's just barely updated packet radio, but at least people are out there playing with it and getting on the radio. DRats is kinda fun too.
"... its not the "SSB-preservation amateur radio service" or the "AM amateur radio service" or for that matter the "CW amateur radio service".
And as a D-Star repeater owner I'd like to also say that 2m/73cm is not the FM-preservation ARS. Listening to people bitch sometimes you'd think that the end of experimentation was when they down tuned the HT220 and stuck new xtals in it. No PL board, of course.
Been there too. Faced 1024 years. Copped a plea for 4 and the judge made it 6. All fed camper time. I lived through it and might just be better for it. Served time with Boesky and Milken (not charges related to them, I was a phracker.)
I think you missed the point of my post. Instead of multiple monitors we would have long tables full of databooks open to various pages. But back in the day I was doing that I don't think anyone really figured a good way to do multiple Herc monitors on an XT. This was back when the closest think to Wikipedia or the Internet was an Encarta disk.
Anyway, what is this "purchase" you speak of? The salesperson always gave me any book that I showed the slightest interest in.
What happened to the day of nice big data sheet books from Intel, Motorola, RCA, National, et al? I remember how dog eared my copies of TTL and CMOS logic were.
About as close as you'll get is a dipole but then you still end up with more of a doughnut.
Just about any antenna can be modeled as a dipole. For example, an AM broadcast antenna (AKA a vertical) is just a dipole where the tower is one side and the earth is the other. Actually on an AM tower there is a lot of copper strap laid out radially underground from the base of the tower and the whole tower is electrically insulated from the ground. Same thing with a mobile antenna on a car, the stick is one side and the car body the other.
An FM broadcast antenna is indeed directional, in the vertical plane. It flattens out the signal from a sphere so that most of the power is on a level plane. That's how an antenna creates gain. On the other axis it is most often omnidirectional. That 50KW is ERP (Effective Radiated Power), the transmitter is likely only putting out about 10KW.
Desktop clients are just much more powerful, don't require an Internet connection.
No Internet connection for email? So you're still using UUCP?
If you're not using one, you just aren't a power user.
You do know that "power users" are the bane of a sysadmin's existence. I've built and run large mail systems (+10k users) and still edit sendmail.cf using vi. But now all my accounts forward to my Gmail account.
I've been using "stuffs" from time to time as long as I remember. Native American English speaker here, not a bit of Chinese in my family, other than in-laws.
I live on a Native American (Indian) reservation and I never hear "stuffs." I'm not even sure there is a Lushootseed word for it.

You're right, I forgot the sound card. Bog help if you had a MIDI card too. ISA was such a blast!

I missed that one. You sir, are correct!
Also the same authors.

RFC 6182 if anyone is interested.

And then Word Perfect "updated" their version to 6 at about the same time.
Could this become a cure for religion? I mean, if we know exactly how the brain works there is going to be a lot fewer gaps for God to hide in.

So yes, I have gone to Wikipedia.

But most dogs don't live long enough to need collage tuition. They may be on to something there.
I need the cluster for my 5" floppy RAID-5 array!
Sorry, that first link should have been: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna but you knew that.
Only in theory :)

I was trying to keep it simple. It's also been a few decades since I've exercised the rights and responsibilities of my old first class ticket.
Since you'll be checking back ;)

Take a look at some of the TrendNet. Their managed layer 2 gigE line is good and cheap.
