I don't know what brainchild designed the layout of those switches, but the fact that they went for the RJ-48 blades versus the Telco (RJ21X) blades in those switches shows sloppy planning. What if one of the blades in the middle goes out? They have to unplug 48 Cat-5 cables versus unscrewing 4 telco harmonicas and leaving the 48 ports untouched on a patch panel
If you're going to put forth that kind of effort and money, why not do it right the first time?
While the article is certainly an excellent comparison and makes some excellent points, I highly disagree with the statement:
Anti-Virus | Norton Anti-virus |Not required with Linux, according to the experts.
While it's not really "required" right now, it's certainly a good idea - and as Linux continues to penetrate the corporate and home desktop, virus writers will shift their attention to Linux as well I'd be pretty sure.... It's not all that hard to infect a precompiled executable of gAIM or something similar when the final product is always the same...

FYI, SOES and SuperSOES are both based on their older Solaris platforms. It's very FIX (Financial IntereXchange protocol) related.
In the US, all of the grounding points in a home generally go to the same place (a single ground spike outside, etc.) - meaning that the ground from your air conditioner goes to the same place that the ground for your computer goes.
That means that the signal noise generated from your AC is also on the ground line for your computer. While that doesn't affect it currently, wouldn't it have a pretty nasty effect on something like this? AC kicks on and you loose your internet access for 15 minutes.
In the UK/Germany/etc., they work with isolated ground lines for each circuit in a house, as well as a power-company terminated ground. I don't see how this could work in the US at all with how dirty our power system is...
C'mon AMD, GPL your chipset! That'll guarantee at least some of us will convert:-)
Saying that Via needs to have a license to hook into a chip that's released into the public domain is like saying that I need a license from Volkswagen to drive their car, or moreso to change the oil in their car. Rediculous.

Uh. Right. Do any search for anything sucks and you're going to get the same amount of matches:

Just because some packet kiddie couldn't get hooked up because he's 25,000ft from the CO doesn't mean the whole company sucks.
