that's right, the electrons go down one wire and come back on the other.
i assume "TPI" is twists per inch or something. if so, you're wrong. maybe cheap cable has the same rate of twist on each wire, but strip some insulation off of some good cable and see for yourself.
i don't understand this. don't parallel connections have inherently greater bandwidth capacity than the equivalent serial connections? are there fewer problems with driving a serial line at high speeds than parallel? is there a reason why you couldn't just use 2 serial lines (in parallel) to ~double performance? is there really a technological advantage to using serial, or is it primarily cost & ease of use?
the wiring specs i've seen for ethernet require 2 connections per station, one for network & one for phone. they're exactly the same.
standard phone lines have 4 wires, but they only use 2. the center two in fact, which are not used by ethernet.
also, twisted pair cable is already designed to cancel interference. signals are sent down one wire of the pair and return on the other to cancel the rf spike generated. the seperate pairs of wire are also twisted at different rates to cut down on inductance.
actually, one thing i've been wondering for a while is whether or not standard hubs would propagate a voice signal on the center pair. that would be cool...
i think the states should be further subdivided into their counties in a similar manner as the country is divided. right now (afaik) states are won by direct votes, why not split them up as well? improve granularity & allow greater accuracy.
"...progress from M13, I STILL haven't had any better performance... stability..."
wow, you're system must be really badly configured... somewhere around m16 it became MUCH more stable ('course i run win95, without the major ie leeches in place)
as for all these features (two levels up), i agree. almost *every* program nowadays seeems to be trying to be a swiss army knife. word will paint your house, outlook will serve you coffee, and mozilla will slice through that tomato.
lets all go back to when everything had to fit into 64k. well, ok, lotsa memory & processor power is cool, but just think how well everything would work if it was all done in assembly, by hand. sure, there'd be lots fewer programmers, but the few you'd have would at least be good programmers.
if you don't like it, open your browser with a hex editor and change "onload" to something else. i do that for "onunload" myself, just to screw jerks who wanna pop stuff up when i leave.
programmers are lazy. they should realize that they're just gonna have to deal with it.
if you don't want programmers writing like they're used to, either make it easy to program it properly, or make it obvious that the other way doesn't work.
you can't go blaming "those stupid lazy programmers" if your success depends on them.
the pit (programmable interrupt timer) on the original pcs had 3 channels. channel 0 was used for updating the system clock (not the cmos clock), channel 1 was used for dram refresh, and channel 2 was used to generate tones for the pc speaker.

angle the plasma generator. this would cause a bulge in one side of the field & create an angled surface facing the sun. as the solar with hits the angled surface, you're propelled in a different direction.
(not that i've studied any of this...)
Technically speaking, I believe that would be discriminatory, not anti-competitive. And unless it's based on some unchangeable factor about you, it's legal.
How are they gonna sell us this encrypted connection thing? Why the heck do *we* want an encrypted line?? Are they just gonna get together and put us consumers in a little cage and only throw out technology that's locked into their specs?

if pr0n sites can say "go away if you're not 18" then that should be enough.

obviously, this source can't be correct then.

That's assuming Google's people wouldn't just ignore them. Sometimes you need a megaphone to be heard.
Hate to tell ya this, but it's not a proxy, it's a redirect. Your browser still requests the same URL, but you're telling microsoft about it as well.
So if you can't go there without this, you can't go there with it.

Isn't that why they always alternate data & ground lines? Is that no longer effective with today's high clock speeds & tranfer rates?
