Actually, it would work for VOIP, if it's a compressed stream (thus, alright for voice traffic, not for faxes or credit card machines). Our VOIP phones here at work UNcompressed use just over 60Kbps.
And for the record, I work for Provide.Net, an ISP based in Washtenaw county that does lots of dial-up, VOIP, Web Hosting, and DSL.
It's essentially a DIY kit to build an OS. I just want an OS.
That's complete BS. Linux is a kernel, while your distros are OSes. FreeBSD is more an OS than Linux is. OpenBSD is more an OS than FreeBSD is, as you can't mix-n-match the different modules (Kernel, UserSpace, Ports system, etc) as you can in FreeBSD.
Bad documentation. The official freebsd manual often explains the most time consuming, error prone way of doing things. Later you'll find out there are many convienient ports to perform common tasks.
It's not the FreeBSD Team's job to document ports and packages and how they change the way the system works. I much prefer the *BSD documentation compared to much of the Linux.
Look at Yoda in Episode II. The actively use the force to control their bodies in motion. Yoda doesn't have the physical prowess to do much of the fighting he does, but by manipulation of the force, he can.
And if you weere designing pages on the Mac, and testing them in IE Mac and expecting them to look the same on a Windows box, I have some prime realestate under Manhattan for you.

I know I'm going wih an Associate in Applied Science at Washtenaw Community College in Michigan, and then going to Eastern Michigan.

The Homeland Security Dept has listed Hams as First Responders and as "essential" persons in the areas of security. HSD and FCC are both keeping this in mind.
I think one of the biggest reasons the FCC is allowing BPL is to introduce some competition to the cable and DSL companies. Right now it's pretty simple:
If you have cable TV, cable internet is probably cheaper than DSL.
If you don't have Cable, DSL is likely cheaper.
If BPL comes in under the cost of DSL for someone w/ Cable, and under the cost of a bare-copper/naked DSL line, you're seeing some major choices to be had.
Your forgot to mention one of the biggest problems om using floppies to take information between 2 computers:
The mechanics of each floppy drive drift differently, thus causeing instances over time where only the computer that WROTE the information can read it...
OR you have to take the same floppy to each computer in the lab to find one that has had a similar enough drift to the original system that it can read it..
BUT so many people last week complained about that computer not reading the floppies of the computer next to it, that the lab tech installed a new drive, which can now read the drisks created in about half the lab machines, but still leaves you in a lurch.
Floppies have NEVER been reliable for use amoung multiple computer.

I know I'm leaving Sprint, which sells and promotes tons of Nokia phones, because T-Mobile offers camera phones and (most importantly) BLUETOOTH.
Every other major cell phone service provider has had bluetooth compatible phones for a while, but not Sprint. If people are leaving the providers that Nokia sells the majority of their phones thought, they will definatly be losing marketshare.
Simple, and no, as others repond, it's not ben dumbed down:
In the comics, Peter Parker isn't a high school student, he's a University level graduate student.
It's beleiveable that someone that works in a research facility available in a university could build the devices, given time, and some of the insight they'd have learned from being in Parker's condition.
It's NOT beleiveable to have a high school student do all that.
I've been to China, South Africa, England and Scotland by plane, and several locations in the USA.
I've never seen any security in the US that came close to comparing to the rest of the world.
In China and hong Kong (1994) many of us hand checked all our rolls of film, one at a time, with an inspector.. why? because the Xray mahcienes were turned on so high, those lead film bags wouldn't protect the film.
All other countries I've been to... armed guards everywhere. Even better, if you go up and ask the armed guards for some assistance, they are pleasant and cordial.
Buisness Travelers? First Class customers? Same line as everyone else... Same searches, If your belt buckle or shoe buckles set off the alarms, belt and shoes go thru the xray.
So no, I don't feel safer at all... never felt remotely safe in a US airport. ~Marchie
And for those people who suffer from chronic migraine headaches, like myself, flourescent lights are a completely non-option. The flicker they produce is horrible, and I can only be around them for a couple hours without having a headache triggered.
I'd be very interested in outfitting my house in total LED, saving power form incandescent, and staying away from those horrible flourescent.
I work at an independant Piano store. I worked all 3 days of the weekend, and let me tell you, it was interesting. People playing pianos, having to sort thru music, convincing customers that we have JUST the right gift for their piano teacher, even tho I know that 3 of said teachers other students have all gotten her the same thing...
It was as bad as it has been in the past, nor as bad as I suspect Christmas Eve will be when I'm moving pianos.

Well.. the UK has a restriction of the press when dealing with crimes.
Let's take the DC Area sniper as an example. If this was the UK, the press would not be allowed to cover this, until someone was caught, and put to trial, and then, no names could be used.
If the person was found Not Guilty, the press wouldn;t be allowed to talk to the person, their family, friends, etc, unless that person came to THEM first.
If the person was found Guilty, then they can use names, and cover it in greatest detail.
Honestly, I wouldn;t mind something like that around here... too often I see the press trying to give every little detail of what's going on, and fouling up investigations by tippig off the perps.

No Battery Needed: Passive Hub

Portable Hubs?

· Score: 2, Interesting
It's harder to find theses days, but you could also make one if you wanted.
A Passive hub, which uses no power, as opposed to an Active hub, which you asked about.
You aren't reaching your 150meter limit on 10bT cables, so there should be no problem.

And why are we not using UTC for this situation?
I set my Servertime to UTC. My client time is Eastern standard/Daylight. Everything works.
When my client programmes (iCal, thunderbird, etc) save their times to the server, I do no math.
