As for cat 5, you can run gigbit ethernet on it. Thats pretty much as fast as you need - even if you can afford the switches, etc...
Shit, good luck finding a 64 bit pci bus on a common motherboard these days (which is what you need to run gigabit ethernet at full capacity).
Have you even seen the prices of fiber optical switches? Most people can afford that stuff for home use.
I have a shotgun, a shovel and 30 acres behind the barn.
Don't just drag one string of cat5 to each room. It's cheap - 1000 ft for $50, drag several cables.
Actually, I just wired a house with 3x Cat 5, bnc (hey, he asked), TV cable, 2x phone, some rooms with heavy guage audio cable and get this - 3x FIBER.
Since you can run gigabit ethenet over cat 5, stick with that for basics, its also cheap. Fiber is a bit more expensive, but is fairly easy to work with.
Plan ahead, because after the gyproc is up and the walls are painted, it a pain in the ass to wire.
PS. To all broke college student - you can make really good money doing this - i.e. $1000 - $2500 for a weekend of work. Not bad for something that requires less than $400 in materials.

Is that why drug users were either executed or sent to the gulag for 10 years (in a gulag, you died in under one year, so a ten year sentence wasn't exactly 10 years)
I dunno, it seems that the USSR had a fairly hard ass policy on drugs.
And if you don't think that Stalin's russia wasn't a police state, please take a look at a history book - something about "purges".
East Germany (where people's SCENT was kept in glass jars so that dogs would have something to track) didn't exactly succeed in curbing drugs either.

but the whole thing behind the "space race" was not some noble shit like getting man into space and going where "no man has gone before". The true reason was " if we can launch a man into space, have him go around the world and land safely", than we have an awesome platform for launching nuclear weapons." If a man returned intact and living, most likely the same thing would happen to a nuclear weapon.
Not that aircraft with bombs weren't enough to fuck over the world . . . Its just that it wasn't safe for pilots to drop really large nuclear weapons (i.e. some would wimp out, cause outrunning a H bomb is not really easy in an aircraft.)
The point of this post is that a sub orbital parabola isn't enough to hit something on the other side of the world (in the us's case, russia)

You have to remember that Sputnik also went "beep...beep...beep...beep"
Oh, and as for "heartless commie stereotype", the USSR had
i.e. locking soldiers into trains so that they could not escape before they reached the battlefields. Or firing on surrendering russian troops was a higher priority than killing germans,
The fact that Stalin killed more russians/*stanese people than hitler, stuff like that. Lotsa fun stuff that supports the stereotype can be found.
Yeah, propaganda sucks, but in that dept, the US was trully justified in saying that. Actually, I wonder how much crap the americans/russians sent up in the early years. I'm sure a lot of things went "beep" in the sky back then.

Nobodies gonna read this, but hiding the fact that 3 astronauts died is not really an accomplishment for a government that killed about 50 million people in 20 years.

You state:
The only drug free state is a police state.
Bullshit. Drugs will always be around - even soviet russia under Stalin had a drug problem in its heartland - whether it was some kid boiling poppies and shooting up or doing an actual "street sold" narcotic.
The only reason we fight this is because the government doesn't have control over it, and as such, can't tax it. Alcohol has destroyed many more relationships than drugs, poisioned more livers and fucked up more babies than any street drug.
Smoking has kill millions - we know its bad, but do fuckal to stop it. Why? because the govt gets $$ from it and it keeps the rabble from rising up.
Blah, sounds like propaganda, so I'm going to stop. That shit is true though - quite a number of american spend their weekends hung over, and even more gladly give the govt money that the govt didn't even really ask for..
Last thing. Stalin made "Adolf the angry Jew from Austria" seem like a little boy, estimated 45-50 million dead - perhaps more... Only difference was that he didn't count the people he killed.

if you drop a external zip about 2 feet onto a hard surface, and it lands vertically, there is a 90% chance of it being dead.
I'm assuming that the same thing would happen with a internal, but I don't take my internal to other places with me. I wonder how much abuse external things take.

Under win98 the drive performs quite nicely. Writing to a disk takes only a bit of system resources, and it is, and i shit you not, 10-12x faster.
Wonderful thing is that this is, as iomega claims, not an problem, but is a known issue. Thats what I'm pissed about. Windows 2k has been out for how long now? plus beta time? and iomega still hasn't got their shit together.

The battery in my laptop weighs 3.6lb. I aint bitching.
Hell, my school bag weighs like 35 lb, and I carry it without complaint, I don't think GI Joe (or jane) is going to mind another 3 lb. Now, the "laptop" is probably going to be big, rugged as hell and probably have some serious horsepower.
And wow. a week. Thats damn cool.
I want one of these damn things. Another reason to join the military? (you know, like on the commercials, "I learned alot . . . And got a free laptop", hey I didn't find it funny either.)

And if the machine is running a lot of processes or thrashing, the poweroff signal might not get sent it time.
The 'graveh' shutdown - Powerbutton. Or make a script that kill -9's a whole bunch of processes.
Sure, it makes a mess, but hey.
Under linux, if you're not doing anything, it uses very little cpu power and generates very little heat (unlike windows/dos). I've run a 333 celeron, at idle, without the heatsink, and left it, at idle for a few minutes. The processor was cool to the touch when I got back.
Wonder if the same thing would happen if you went and minigunned all the processes down? any thoughts?
I'm just starting linux, so I might be full of shit, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Oh.. A heatsink should help a lot. Your heatsinks and fans should be able to stop smoke from coming out of the box if you know what I mean. And epoxy the damn things on so you know that they wont come off.
And yes, it should not over heat under normal operation.
Shouts!

dude, the automatic shutdown thing - I've been looking for one, but haven't found it for under $30. I'm assuming its hardware, I got one in the bios which I kinda trust, but not really.
lemme know if you know of soemthing cheap.

Question is...
why did you use a motherboard connector? Its cheaper to use the ones that plug into the regular computer power connectors.
Oh.. slight brag here, I got 80cu ft of air going through my box. If the main fan fails, no biggie. I got a bit heat sink, hell, I built my box around the premise that the cpu fan would fail.
Damn thing is just about silent - 45db. Just have to get good fans and drill a few more holes.
Yours failing sucks though - you get $ from the board manufacturer?
Dude, also, doesn't the board have something that shuts down when the processer hits 65 Celcius? Mine does, and its a POS soyo....
I have a shotgun, a shovel and 30 acres behind the barn.
This isn't the first time this shit has happened, iomega settled with the "Ditto" drive thing too.
I don't know, under 2k, my parallel zip is slow as shit and reading from the drive consumes nearly 95% of cpu resources.
According to iomega, this is not a problem. Moreover, they do not support the parallel port speed accelerator.
Great, I got slow as shit transfers - one hundred meg disk takes about 15 minutes to read data off of, about the same time to transfer data to.
This also is, according to iomega, not a problem.
The fuckers never respond to tech support email, you have to call them or send them actual letters - you know - like on paper. WTF is with that??
I never got their fucking rebate for my zip too, I'm still out $50, so even with these "rebates", which will probably be in the form of coupons, i.e. $40 off $100 purchase, maybe not, but it would fit their pattern of customer support, I'll still be out money.
That said, some of their other stuff is cool - i.e. the pocket zip - really cool. Those disks take a shitload of abuse, and I've never had one break on me or lose data - unlike the zip. I've lost one drive to the click of death, and about 4 disks to various reasons.
I'm not suprised that someone had to take this company to court because iomega could not resolve a technical problem in house.
One thing - why is the suit only for people who bought from 98-01, I bought one before that, it died to click of death. I hope to get my $40 though, cause I bought another one during 99.
Oh well. We will see how this works out. Hopefully people wont have to take them to court to actually get the refunds.
Last thing, really, why don't people use ls-120's? the disks are cheaper, the drives are cheaper and I think they work fairly well? Any ideas?
