    Well making a generalization about the US in general from Florida's driving test is a mistake. Each state has there own driving test.

    They dont take it off at the register because they love to piss you off.

    They dont take if off at the register because it is just as risky for them to offer the rebate as your risk on getting it back. They are counting on a majority of people never even sending in the rebate. They also probably reject a certain percentage of rebates knowing darn well people dont keep copies. I have never ever had a company not send me a rebate i qualified for. You may have to play the game, and that's something you need to think about when you chose what to shop for.

    I am going to assume your implying that all of your jacks are hot. Besides being a security issue, this is a waste of money for switches. Secondly, we have very well designed patch panels with a specific running technique everyone MUST use, that, beleive it or not everyone uses. We dont have issues getting our equipment in where it needs to be :)

    the wall jack are all punched down.

  16. Re:Gigabit on Rewiring Your Home Phone System? · · Score: 1
    I used gigabit at home. Copy a big file and you will notice a huge difference. In fact the place i work for just built a brand new 20 story building wired completely with cat6e so when the time comes all the clients can run gigabit. They have gig nic's, the gig cabling is there, when the time comes we'll punch down another four wires.


    On another note have you noticed how the price of gigabit items have come down? That means that someone in marketing talked to an economic advisor and realised that they make more $net at a lower $cost because of higher demand.

    So your not as good with linux as others. That does not make tivo instantly better. How about when it comes time to upgrade your tv? you have to buy a whole new system to not violate the TOS/EULA. If i want to upgrade i slap another hard drive in. I dont get programs i dont want to watch pushed to my machine anyways.

    OK, you have a space heater that goes up in flames and causes just enough flame for the neighbor watching the house to call the fire department. You now have a broken down door, a basement turned into an ice rink from the water used to put it out. No electricity, and no heat.


    My ups ran my fridge for three days in the summer, there is no reason i can think of that it cant handle my computer for a week.

  23. Re:hack it together on Cheap On-Line CD/DVD Storage Library? · · Score: 1

    Very nice! i myself have looked into many options on doing the same thing as the submitter and had looked into the round version of this type of device. The issue with the round one being that it barely pushed cd's out at all... this one however that you can clearly see in their pictures pushes the cd out quite a ways, in fact, probly enough to be grabbed by a slot loading cd-rom drive. Slot Load My only issue with this method is it is extremely hard to find a newer slot load drive, thus your probly not going to get high speed DAE. Which basicaly means instead of taking 5 minutes ot rip a cd, you could spend as long as 30 minutes on a cd when the reader gets hot.. you might also need to create a mechanism to help it eject the cd because i am unfamiliar with slot load's or how far they kick cd's out.
