Spanning Tree is not the answer. Especially when you have multiple platforms speaking multiple protocols. You need to segment the network, each department should be on it's own segment, it's own network address. As for other protocols... yes they should be segmented as well. Each department should have it's own ethernet router. In a hospital.. preferably a fiber router. Shut Spanning tree off! Damn! Ok.. I'd go with a higher end central router. A Cisco 7000 series if you are going fiber. A 3600 series if you are just running 100 BaseT cat 5. And here's where my expertise comes in. Program the routers properly. Do not use any autodiscovering protocols. That goes for all your protocols! And if they have Novell... don't SAP every minute, SAP maybe every 10 minutes or so. Static routes should be used for IP, don't use RIP. And a poorly managed network can come crashing down if Spanning Tree is used. IN college I called this failure "Packet Avalanche". I bet if I put my Linux based laptop on the network and analyzed the traffic there would be collisions up the wazoo.
Gee.. talk about science copying science fiction. Remember the sci-fi show DarkAngel? She was a Human/Cat Hybrid.
I'm strongly against this. We shouldn't play God here. We would probably create monsters. We are allready spicing human genes into pigs so they can grow human organs. And these pigs show higher intellegence. It's not right.
Hah.. remeber Laserdisks? they were supposed to last over 50 years too.. I've got an Indiana Jones LaserDisk that also has THE FUNGUS!
You should search th internet, this fungus is real. A DVD will not last for 50 years.. If there's scratches on the top of the DVD, it will not read. I've repaired DVDs and CDROMS with scratches on the top by applying white tape to the top of the disk.
I live in New England. And in New England it does get humid and damp. I don't have any fungus or anything like that growing in my house, but I can tell you CDs and DVDs do not last for ever, every now and then you get a disk that's prone to rot.
All you need is a GPS reciever installed in a car with rs232 output, the output is tied to a small computer/laptop or whatever, the laptop has a phone/modem. When you want to get a fix on the car you call the gps phone number, after you connect you will get latitude and longitude of the car.. and save big bucks these guys are charging way too much.
DVDs do not last for ever, and not original idea!

Backup Your Life on a DVD
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Hmm... I guess someone smoked a bit too much cannabis thinking about this one. They need to invent a DVD medium that won't rot. Sometimes CDROMS and DVDs get a fungus that renderes them unreadable. I've got a DVD with my family photo albums, even mpeg2 movies, and a backup of my resume and my wife's. But.. you need a backup of that because I had a cdrw disk rot on me.
$5k.. no way man. I designed and built my own robot! It detects fires and puts them out. I bought a SP0256 chip so pretty soon it will be talking too! Check out my eobot at: www.nfnnet.org/spazbot Pick up a Handyboard, PIC, or OOPIC and save your money!
If Lee doens't get paid, we should do everything we can to let the pulbic know what's going on! That way the Incredible Hulk doesn't do so well and Marvel will loose.
perhaps ther could one day be an OS independant layer.. similar to web browser. Heck we are doing it now. But each platform has it's own OS, and performacce depends on how well the hardware is designed and the OS is written.

Ahh... What a nice case for workmans comp! My eyes are burning, I can't sleep, and my joints are hurting... Actually my joints are huting after playing a rough game of football, I can't sleep because I don't know if my job is going to be cut for political reasons (I am a state contractor) and my eyes are burning from %&@m flourescent lights, not the CRT. I have a heavily leaded monitor. And I measured the radiation myself, as long as I don't stay up against the sides or rear of the monitor, I'm ok.
If you have a cheap monitor, you better look at the monitor from at least 4 feet away.

back in 1994 I found an OS that ran Vis5D extremely well, and it also became an excellent programming and application platform for me. That OS is Linux of course, and I will NEVER go back to any Microsoft OS! Even if it's FREE!
I knew this was going to happen! A digital signal not only needs to be stronger, it also is transmitted at cutoff and saturation. The Analog equivelant of a super modulated signal. Also the power that the FCC is allowing is insane? Don't they know about tropsopheric ducting?

It would be cool to see a low cost PVR board that

Right now I use Nuvrec (on a 1.5Ghz AMD) and
when the recording is done I make a second pass and encode an MPEGII file.
Nuvrec works great with a Wintv card at 720x480x30fps!
But I'd like to do hardware mpegII encoding.
Hi,
