    Also, for every offense from said lan port, there should be some kinda time penalty, like say (48 hours x offense_number) from the time they install/clean their computer (or pay the fine) till they actually do get reconnected.

    How so?
    The engine is obviously LESS efficient in the hybrid. Its being assisted by an electronic motor and still only producing the same results in terms of MPG as the escort.

    However Trusted machines are hitting the store shelves today, and the plan is that within a year or so every single machine sold will have a Trust chip installed by default. Over the following three years pretty much all systems will be replaced anyway through the normal upgrade process. As the penetration gets into the 70% to 90% range if becomes fairly easy to make it mandatory for customers to "upgrade" to a new "enhanced machine" and to simply blame any problems on their old "obsolete" machine.

    I dont think Apple has jumped aboard that bandwagon. Are they going to lock out every mac user too?

    EXACTLY!!

    You know what happens when you outsource to india?

    Subway.

    I dont know about your neck of the woods, but round here (southern ca) every Subway is owned by Indians, you know like 7-11s. And they just dont make good sammiches anymore. They used to cut the bread in a V shape up top. They used to put the mayo/mustard on the (gasp) bread instead of on the lettuce. Sure, they still make a sandwich and they do it cheaply, but do they make a good sandwich?

    Not really.

    Straight to pot they went, and not in a good way.

  25. Re:Equipment cheap. Labor NOT on A Wireless Network for a 4-Story Apt. Building? · · Score: 1

    You dont need super expensive cable running all over creation.
    The max speed of the WR54G is 54 Mbps which is a little over 1/2 the speed of 100 BaseT. Any Cat 5 will be more than enough as long as you're careful.

    Depending on the size of the building, this really shouldnt cost you much over 2K (including gear) if you are willing to learn how to do it yourself.

    Also, you shouldnt have to worry about bandwidth hogs at the AP level. You should probably do that at your NAT box. Check out something like nocat. All you really need to do is setup QoS for certain groups you already know of (like residents) and let other connect but put them in groups who get allocated much less bandwidth.

    Also, I think 7K can still be considered a gift and should be tax free...but you should double check that.

    Also, if you're really serious about gaming and you're already running cable to each floor, why not put a cheap 100BT switch on each floor?
