Layer 2 - LAN layer - switch based on MAC address Layer 3 - Network layer - switch based on IP address Layer 4 - Transport layer - switch based on contents (like TCP port number)
Although technically they aren't switches, they're called switches because they do layer 4 switching, see?
"I'm not sure how the use of an intelligent router would eliminate the need for the expensive systems to stream the audio."
Currently 1000 users == 1000 streams. An intelligent switch looks at the content, says broadcast one stream to the 1000 users. Sounds simple. Not, though. Check articles on "Layer 4" switches.
On really old oscilloscopes, Tektronix used to gold plate not just the connectors but all of the PCB traces. Those would have looked great with a clear case. Especially with all of the vacuum tubes glowing.
You're missing the point. The Customs service doesn't decide that the cable is infringing. Almost certainly, Sega told them to intercept shipments from the cable manufacturer. The DMCA is being used as a business tool by large companies to protect them from being nibbled by small companies who don't have clout.
Pittsburgh already has a good go-anywhere rapid transit system. The People's Cab company (phone://681-3131) was started IIRC as a CMU student project. Pittsburgh transportation info may be found at:
Not sure where Tom's gets their facts, but in the LCD vs CRT comparison, there are a couple howlers. Maybe that's why Samsung wont give them a display.
CRT output is usually speced up to around 250 cd/m2 (candela per meter^2), enough to give a reasonable tan, not the 120 they give.
No defective pixels on CRT? Put up a white screen and look for phospher defects. Those are caused by impurities inside the bottle. Sometimes you can take a 2-by-4 and knock a few of em loose, but don't hit too hard.
Not only is this not the world's highest res. computer display (as IBM claims on their site) but its late by about 15 years. For a good discussion of why high-res displays fail to sell, see:
