-Obtain the APs MAC address. -Find the interface which has learned this MAC address. -Identify the cabling port that connect to that interface. -Consult your cabling schedule to determine the location of that port.
Or next time save yourself the headache of unathortized devices plugging into your network and implement some type of network authentication scheme. That, or, shut down all unused ports and set your switches to only learn one mac address per port.
Had you bothered to read the article you would know the disc was not made out of Kevlar, but was instead wound with Kevlar wire 5 times around the same place. Later on, the article suggests that discs laminated with Kevlar would be a possible solution, but would produce double sided discs which can double the capacity, and can be read both sides at a time, enabling the marketroids to advertise an even higher speed than what you can at 20,000rpm. It also mentions something about the 300watt motor the drive would require, and the strain it would put on an average power supply. But that is a different problem.
The Universal Service Fee provides telecommunications and information services to schools, libraries and rural health care facilities; it also serves to subsidize local service to high cost areas and low-income households. This fee still has a purpose to provide schools with the appropriate amount of students from low income families grants to allow the purchase of technology and communication equipment and services. I know in the state of Georgia, we refer to the money we get from the USFs as "e-rate" money.
I work for a school system in Ga that will be running
several pilot programs in this upcoming year. Both Dell and Apple laptops with
wireless capabilities will be bought. Both companies will be providing complete
solutions for these "portable labs" that we plan on implementing. We
already have 3 Dell portable labs that are in place, and their success is
mixed.
Our school system is very experienced in terms of
technology, with every classroom consisting of at least 4 desktops and several
computer labs placed throught the schools. There are approximately 50 schools
in our school system with this setup. Every computer is on the network, every
computer is used for educational purposes. Educational software is not
compromised of Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego, and Word 97, as most readers tend
to think.
We use over a dozen software suites (most which run on both
Windows and Macintosh operating systems) that allow for students to enhance and
evaluate their reading, analytical, and mathematical skills. This software allows
a child to be interested in reading, and be motivated to learn new mathematical
concepts. The software is varied as the grade levels progress, and new skills
are picked up by the student.
With over 10,000 workstations in our network to support,
adding many more laptops into the mix will allow students to be able to learn
new skills while being able to work in a more comfortable environment. The
initial testing will be with portable wireless labs that will several teachers
to use the laptops. Pending the results of our pilot program, potentially every
student will have their own laptop to use. No, the students will not get to
keep the laptop, but they will be turned in at the end of the school year.
I do not think that what Maine is doing is a bad idea, but
if they cannot control the situation on how laptops are distributed, how the
laptops are used, and how they are implemented to enhance the learning process,
their program will be deemed a failure.
Dying Battery Warning?

Talking Palm

· Score: 1
I can just imagine my Palm talking to me now:
"Warning, battery life is a 1 perceeeent"
Thus, I now know for sure that my Palm has died by its own use and was kind enough to let me know about it.
Although this idea seems very hard to implement with all the cell providers out there, it would be nice if Motorola could implement a similar feature on their Nextel phones. Something along the lines of the phones being able to use their radio features with nearby nextel phones in environments where a base station is not present sounds like an idea worth implementing.
Perhaps I could be off, but I somehow see the Ford Motor Company going after them for this one.

It's all how you look at it. Where I work there are tons of 11Mbps wires Access Points which connects to a 10Mbps (or 100Mbps, depending on what kind of switch we are using) copper port on a switch, which is connected to a core over a 100Mbps connection through fiber, which then connects over a 100Mbps copper port to a router and CSU/DSU to a T1 line or two. Now, if you were marketing guru, which speed do you advertise?
Now the show Big Brother can go from being in a house to being in a hotel...in outer space. They could also put a Survivor spin on the show to attract more ratings.
To counter your argument, what if every dumb dick in the free world was able to use his 52mbps cable connection or his 8mbps dsl connection just so they can look at Star Wars trailers all day (or any bandwidth intensive application)?
While this could happen, chances are when Joe Blow is able to get a 52mpbs cable connection, the internet backbones will have already been upgraded to something with higher capacity.

Particularly Panduit Level 7 patch cables. These have a tendency to set off the anti-theft devices at several locations I've been too.
Reminds me of the Quikwriting project. I tried Dasher out, but found that it needs some work on predicting certain words.
