Mapquest does. The directions to our new office yesterday, printed from Mapquest, got us fairly well lost. The last to turns were onto streets that apparently don't exist within a mile or two of our destination. I guess us getting lost in a rental van that was acting like it was going to crap out at any time in the middle of fairly busy streets populated by hideously incompentent drivers and 2-ton dump trucks is a small price to pay to keep people from printing out copyrighted maps from Mapquest.
Homer: "Watch me turn on the TV." BLAM, BLAMBLAM!
Hibbert: "You use your gun to turn on the TV?"
Johnny: "Gilligan, The Skipper and Chief Wiggum...Name 2 castamays!" BLAM, BLAM, BLAM!
Sarah: "Clancy, use the remote."
Clancy: "Oh, yeah."
Joan Rivers: "Can we talk about Chief Wiggum? Bleah, bleah."
*flying gun* CRASH!

Pricing that I've seen lately for patch cables, pre-cut & terminated (stranded PVC UTP) puts CAT-5e at just under twice the price of CAT-5, and CAT-6 at just over twice the price of CAT-5.
I've just been looking, and none of the lists I have sell plain ol' CAT-5, so I have to say that I was referring to CAT-5e in my post. The price difference there between CAT-5e and CAT-6 is more than 50%. CAT-5e is GB rated, as you say, over reasonable ranges. I would use shielded cable for it, if I was to do it, and keep it well under 50 meters.
Copper is a heck of a lot easier to work with than fibre, that's for sure, and even CAT-6 is cheaper.
Phone cable: The price between CAT-3 and CAT-V is very minor, and it does give you room to grow.
Gigabit "ready": Compare prices between CAT-V and CAT-6. Clean underpants, then run CAT-V. GB to the desks is probably overkill, but if you really need it, it's gonna cost you, whether using copper or fibre.
Raised floor: If there are other tenants below, running the entire network through the floor/drop ceiling below gets to be a pain. It is nice in the equipment room for in-room connects, for keeping the floors uncluttered.
Length: 10/100bTX is spec'd at 100 meters max.
Running with power can be done, but you need to use shielded cable (Price goes up).
Fire code: Here in INDY, you can run PVC or Plenum through the walls, but you can get written up for running PVC through the building plenums.
We are moving in December of this year. We get one floor in a multi-story salt-mine. We are running cable-trays through the drop ceiling, above all "aisles" in the cube farm, with wire-mold running down the structural supports to each cube "island". It is mostly an open-plan slave-pit, with filing, electronics, and kitchen in the center, and private offices at each end. We will not have to run thick bundles of cable over/through walls, or climb over cube walls, either.
Private offices will have 2 net drops (not necessarily 2 ports on a switch), the conference rooms will have multiple drops based on size, to accomodate furniture movement in the future.
Cable management and mapping is like commenting your code. Do it clean and keep it documented! I had to pull out a bunch of old 2-pair cable from our RS/6000 when it left. The bastards who ran it made it very pretty in the ceiling and floor by cable tying it every 3 feet in bundles, then to whatever was handy: ceiling supports, ceiling tile hangers, light fixture, power conduit, etc. Pain in the ass to pull out.
Maybe InfoWorld uses FrontPage 2002 to do their page creation. If so, they wouldn't be able to give proper credit to everyone involved, as it would violate the EULA.
That's probably from many, many PHBs reacting immediately to the Gartner Group's reccomendation to replace their IIS PCs with $SOMETHING_LESS_VULNERABLE. Once they had turned 'em off, hits would have to drop.

Emacs will do everything except pick your nose (ei: check e-mail, surf the net, even play games). You can also write Emacs extensions with emacs-lisp to get it to pick your nose if you really want it to.
Sounds like an, um, "interesting" port for LEGO Mindstorms.

Cites two senators who I'd thought to be more clueful (Orrin Hatch and Chuck Schumer)."
This is that thing called sarcasm, isn't it? Hatch and Schumer are both cut from the same cloth as Feinstein, and are both willing to trample any freedoms they run across to get what they want.

The cure is simple: DON'T SAY THE WORD "SHIT" SO MUCH.
It is a curse word, as overuse of it brings about the curse of the Black Death. Also avoid other curse words such as "fuck" and "mekrob".

Yes, but the one's you have are freely modifiable. All you need is a nail, knife or other hard, pointy object.

Why did I first parse that as "Amtrak", and why did it still sound reasonable?
