I simplified the explanation in my post, but not overly so.
the first hit on a simple google search reveals the following paragraph.
--- To a nerve cell, caffeine looks like adenosine. Caffeine, therefore, binds to the adenosine receptors. However, it doesn't slow down the cell's activity as adenosine would. The cells cannot sense adenosine anymore because caffeine is taking up all the receptors adenosine binds to. So instead of slowing down because of the adenosine level, the cells speed up. You can see that caffeine also causes the brain's blood vessels to constrict, because it blocks adenosine's ability to open them up. This effect is why some headache medicines, like Anacin, contain caffeine - if you have a vascular headache, the caffeine will close down the blood vessels and relieve it.
With caffeine blocking the adenosine, you have increased neuron firing in the brain. The pituitary gland sees all of the activity and thinks some sort of emergency must be occurring, so it releases hormones that tell the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline (epinephrine). Adrenaline is, of course, the "fight or flight" hormone and it has a number of effects on your body:
I find that a diet mt dew has as much an effect as a regular one, even more than a cup of coffie. A large part of why caffeine works is that it actually speeds up your nerve signals.
Cisco is trying to do too much crap. All sorts of acquisitions over they years that are all over the product map. They're trying to be everything to everybody and the house is going to fall down. There's already backlash from people (customers and potential customers) that think they're too arrogant and disorganized.
You never hear of a prodigy like this later on. One would think that they would be changing the world with ideas and inventions. The 13 year old medical students, the 12(?) year old MCSE (heh) never come up in later years. With a 5 or more year jump on their peers they should be shining stars in their 30's but they never appear on the radar.
I know, the government sequesters them in their secret.. oh nevermind.
Spectralink has been doing this for a while now. In fact it was the only VOIP wireless phone that Cisco had for a while. With the right firmware it's seamless with the Call Manager. In addition, they have several gateways that will allow their phones to work with virtually any PBX out there, analog or digital. I can testify that their phones are very tough. I've seen them thrown across the room. The battery pops off - put it back and fire up the phone, no problems.
This occured at a customer of mine. I had told people to make sure they saved their data to the network drive instead of the default "My Documents" Well one girl didn't and a few months later her HD crashed. She went home crying that day and almost quit. Nowadays, I simply redirect the "My Documents" folder to a user folder to eliminate user forgetfulness. The fact remains though that all the rest of the staff managed to save files to the P drive instead...
What you say makes no sense. How is your network Win2k? Your network is composed of switches and routers that transport IP among other things. What I'm saying is that it matters not if you run Linux, Win2k or Novell on your LAN for servers. VOIP is another application that runs on that LAN, not your existing servers.
Yes, but you have to manage it manually with access-lists. Granted it works well but requires a lot of labor. The before mentioned products can do it dynamically.
These two products do wonders for bandwidth hogs, QOS Works by Sitara also has a built in HTTP cache. Packeteer's Packetshaper does the same thing (without the cache). Initially you simpy plug them into your LAN and they monitor the types of traffic for a while then provide you with charts and graphs. You choose what types of traffic to give how much bandwidth. If some new hog show up you find out pretty quickly and can limit it easily. Really slick products. Can be costly though.
I started my Linux endeavors with Slackware. I was a windows MCSE guru and it took me a while to learn the different ways of thinking. However I immediately realized that some of those ways of thinking were much better.
I tried playing with RedHat when all their hype started but I couldn't get into it. In fact, I hated it compared to Slackware. If I wanted dumbed down I could go back to Windows.
"Lots and lots of people are making lots and lots of money off this plan"
Is that so bad? What about the thousands that are employed by the companies building these things? Many companies and people depend on projects like this to keep them in business and alive. It's just tax dollars coming back into peoples paychecks.
I cen see not wanting to live forever, but what about an extra hundred years or so? Many people are just getting really good at their jobs in their 40's. They only have 20 more years left to work then retire and die. Could you imagine a network engineer or a programmer with 100 years of work experience?

Not a lot of help there. What software/hardware package is being used to do this? How is it configured/placed on the LAN?
Where I live they are great! 4mbs download rates, great signal too.
Ithought that at first, but the way the guns wobbled around, as well as the way it kind of sways side to side makes me think it's real.
Microsoft came out with those action figures a while back... I don't think you can get them anymore though. There were three I think.
They've had Wifi H.323 phones out for a while. Whith the correct firware they directly support Cisco and Avaya PBX's without a gateway in between.

I've long know about absolute 0. But I just wondered - is there an absolute HIGHEST temperature possible?
Absolute 0 theoretically is the complete cessation of all molecular movement. So is there an upper limit to that molecular movement in terms of heat?
Actually, it's Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.
Also, the Intuity Audix LX runs Linux as well - for less money than the traditional Intuity Audix.
Yes, and that particular IP Phone costs how much? Around $800? Why should I buy that when I already have a PC on my desk that can do XML too?

Interesting. You would say "doors open" and the windows would roll down? Huh. I wouldn't be impressed by that at all.

Umm, smoking is quite unpleasant. Blows your theory.

Not to mention that rolling friction is reduced by a factor of 10. Steel wheels on steel rails instead of rubber on... whatever happens to be around.
