    Yes thats how structured cabling works and inter floor runs are often fibre anyway. Our instructor mentioned that the shielding in cat 6 was the major hassle.

    Your upsetting Mr Murdoch - whose papers continually lobby to cut down things that the beeb does well as does the Guardian who own some crappy local radio stations and always stick the boot into BBC radio when they can.

  4. Re:What I would like from the next series on Matt Smith Leaves "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    No the US would probably want full sized seasons for some reason the BBC doesn't seem able to do a 22/24 episode season - ok you would need a larger writing staff but that woudl be no bad thing and some on to reign in the show runner when he gets a bit OTT - as Peter Deloise says send him to the "how come room"

    You know its not un common to run non branded DC's I worked for a telco and our DC was not marked with any corporate logos for security purporses - our carpark passes until recently did not indicate which company they applied for.

    And I bet the Headmaster went on a few nice jollies before he or she signed the contract - that is the problem with decentralizing every thing much easier to bribe individual schools/towns as there is no effective oversight.

    I bet that Headmaster who over saw that spying on underage kids via laptop cameras is still working - In the UK he woudl have been sacked and banned from ever working with Children and Vunerable adults again (this is the opinion of two head governors that i know)

    Um so all that ecumenical negotiation between Catholics and protestants count for nothing?

    And if you belong to one of these exclusive brethren do you not see that exposure to your community for say drinking beer at uni is more of a threat than mainstream people - and you do know that within living memory Mormons where considered like Al-Qaeda? read some of the Sherlock homes stories where Mormons where considered just as strange and a threat as Muslims are today.

    And remember it was a really big deal that JFK (a Catholic) was president

  17. Re:A more likely outcome on Eric Schmidt: Teens' Mistakes Will Never Go Away · · Score: 0

    Not quite sure why hiring from a heterodox offshoot that both the catholic protestant church consider a heretical cult and in the recent past was involved in armed insurrection against the state is a good idea for sensitive posts.

    They might be easier to black mail as there community woudl ostracize/shun them for trivial things - whereas a more individual person woudl quite happily be able to tell them to FO or more seriously run the blackmailer as a double agent ala the XX committee. "Your uncle Sams/LIiz II's little puppy now" or really nasty the blackmailer might make an unfortunate cross body movement :-)
