    The black side and the shiny silver side may be at the same temperature but their emissivity (tendency to radiate) is different. That's why dark colored radiators work better than light ones. Look at the radiator inside you car.

  6. Re:Cat5 Cabling Woes (2 pair vs 4 pair) 100T on Building A (Serious) Home Network From Scratch · · Score: 1

    I do use twisted pairs. Most cat5 cable comes with 4 pairs. You only _need_ 2 pairs (definitely twisted though) for a 100T connection. Some 100T network cards don't even have connections to the other two pairs of pins. OK, so 100T may not be considered a "serious network" but you can run 2 connections on 1 cat5 cable.

    Cat5 wire usually has four pairs. Only two pairs are needed (the pins 1,2 pair and the pins 3,6 pair). I have run two circuits on one cat5 cable. It seems to work fine.

    7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

    Couldn't you use the "1 only" write technology

    It would then only take 5 bits.

    You could then just memorize the number and you wouldn't need a CD at all.

    Instead of whining
    here are some things that you can do.

    Ask computer manufacturers if their machines are linux compatible

    (especially laptops)video cards, sound cards, etc.

    Most have a toll free numbers.

    If the don't support linux ask "them when will they?".

    Ask software suppliers it they have ported their products to linux.
    Call their main office. Once one company listens others will follow.

    We need a "Linux Call the Manufacturer Day".

    They will get the message.
