    hahah man no offense but do you honestly think microsoft cares about 300-400 million Euros? huh do ya? because they dont. They pay more than that to thier lawyers ahaha. If they could have got out of this will only a small fine like that they wouldnt still be in court. do you know how much they are worth? Bill gates alone was worth over 100 billion dollars. 300-400 million of anything is small potatoes for him. open up your eyes people, this man is so rich even the government can touch him and its more than obvious. his lawyers are making 10 times what the governments lawyers are making. in a world where money talks they have the mic. end of story.

    all i want to know is this, If microsoft fucked up, became illegal, and is in court, then why the fuck is there a "settlement"? If i went and did what they did, but lets say wasnt worth the billions they are worth. The court would not only royally fuck me, but they wouldnt give me the time of day to settle. Lets think about it people, Microsoft has been apealing and stalling in court for a few years now, its not going anywhere untill they get it thier way, and the got the money to pay off whoever will make what they want happen. They dont operate in the rules they make them. Just my 2 cents

    well besides being a narrow minded skeptic perhaps he didnt want to have a mere inter-housed network. Before insulting my intellegence, did he not ask for OPTIONS, that doesnt mean 1000 comments all saying cat5 and nothing else. how do you know what he wants? unless your the guy who posted the article quit flaming. how do you know he doesnt live in a busy city and wants a network of cameras or something outside, also firewire is fast and different than ethernet. I was simply offering the avilible options and a firewire or even usb part of the network would be a much easier way to get multiple cameras and other non computer items going. (two words, Home Automation) heh x10 and all that stuff, i know that appeals to me and if i had the cash to drop on cool shit like remotes for every (and anything) i would get them myself.. whats stopping him from wireing his automation into the network for live stats and control over a secure medium from afar? lets keep the options open before jumping to conclusions. For in wall wiring i recommend cat5 since its not only fast but cost effective as well.

    you do have a good point about niche communities, ive seen quite a few of them ever since about '96 when i first got on DALnet i think it was.. anyway some ive seen were PrankRadioIrc, UPINnet, UberNet, ive noticed alot of internet radio sites have thier own networks. I think the three most popular networks are DALnet (just hit 100,000 online mark awhile ago i guess) EFnet (which was also getting packeted with dalnet) Undernet (are they still up? i used to chat on there)
    niche networks are kind of like POP music, they fluxuate and fade but the original trendsetters usually seem to prevail.. if any of you guys has some serious bandwith laying around it looks like EFnet could use a hand, same with DALnet, besides i wonder if you could turn that into a tax write off = ) heh who knows, Charity bandwith == tax returns.

    a few years ago everyone would have said usb this and usb that, but usb has a very short range (as in how many feet it can go before being renewed i guess) cat5 is great for networks, ive got 3 seperate cat5 lines going into my room alone.., they also could be used for other devices as well (its really just a matter of mapping out the ports with the wires and there are plenty of wires in cat5 (8 i belive) also firewire might be another option although expensive and like usb iam not sure of the range but i do know its fast as hell. Wireless is a good choice especially with the broadcast points becoming cheap. I used to use packet radio on the amature networks but that was in the early 90s and obviously wireless is easier to setup and faster to use. just remember with cat 5 always run extra lines so if you think you will need 1 better make it 2 just in case.. hubs also come into play but i think seperate lines going through the wall to a 100/10 router is better than having to goto 10megabit hubs. just a few more angles

    Ive seen some computers with the ports in the front(eg that soundblaster case and i think tigerdirect.com has one too..) but another option would be mounting usb ports in a 5 1/4 drive bay so that usb could go in through the front.. other than that i dont plug much else in and out frequently. also there are various switch boxes if you would rather have all the ps2 and com ports controlled on top of your desk. (it is a box with a switch on the front and in the back everything from ps2 ports to com ports to monitor ports etc.. also useful for multiple boxes with one keyboard and mouse (thats why i use mine for) just a thought.

    Efnet as well as Dalnet and a few other major IRC networks are bombarded by script kiddies on a daily basis, dalnet almost shut down like last year because of it. a bunch of morons with stolen cisco routers were flooding them with dos attacks. which made chatting on the network about as fun as sending one line e-mails at a time. the problem isnt the servers its the morons who are against them. IRC is a free service and if people dont start to respect it, its eather going to slowly leave or start charging. I dont know about you all but i use it regularly and i would personally like to give these 12 year old h4X0rs a peice of my mind. or perhaps a visit from the fbi might help change thier ways eh? well iam not wasting my time tracing a bunch of wanna-bes but something certainly needs to be done.. perhaps a new irc protocall wouldnt be a bad idea.. following the example of ssh perhaps, making it secure and allowing the servers hosting irc to reject all the DoS crap they get daily.
