That's a switched network, not a 'dedicated' one. Yes, the RF channel is a 'dumb hub' but many 100baseTX implementations are also 'dumb hubs'. 100baseTX Switches are ubitquous now, but that's only happened in the last couple of years, and many large networks are still hub based due to cost reasons.
Incorrect. 802.11g's practical max throughput is around 25Mbps (Half of theoretical max) and even if all of your clients are running.11g cards, you have a shared bandwidth topology. Given the same restraints, the almost 100% bandwidth advantage of 100baseTX will show.
In fact a switched 10baseT network will perform about as well as an 802.11g network, and possibly better if you can run all of your systems in Full-Duplex mode (Not a given for 10baseT hardware)
Incorrect. This is only true for Switched Networks, you have bandwidth sharing on a 10baseT/100baseTX network if hubs are used network or a 10base2 network.
However you are correct that 100baseTX will blow away 802.11g anyday even in a hub-based topology(In fact, with a properly designed network, switched full-duplex 10baseT will outperform 802.11g)
MS got smart and licensed Citrix's technology, which massively ouperforms X over remote links (And VNC too).
X and VNC over the network would be nice, if they weren't so shit slow over anything less than 100baseTX.
Funny that RDP'ing into a windows box then VNC'ing to the *nix box locally is faster than VNC'ing directly to the *nix box. And X is the same (But sucks less than VNC)
However, the Suffrage movement predates Prohibition, and the two were intrinsically tied (Most of the movers and shakers in the Prohibition Movement got their start as suffragettes)
And did you get a warantee that's actually good with that?
You can't compare name-brand boxes with clones. Clones are good value, if you don't care about support/warrantee. Name-brand boxes offer support you aren't ever going to get from joe's house of boxen.
Oh, and Apple isn't single-sourced. They've been multi-sourcing everything for years now except the CPU, and they have multiple vendors for the G4 (IBM fabs them for Moto)
Except for the fact that the eMac has a real GPU in it instead of the Equivalent PC's Intel Extreme Graphics with Shared Memory. Even the eMac's lowly Radeon 7500 is 2-3x faster than Intel's crap graphics. And it has 32MB of dedicated VRAM, instead of stealing from system memory.
Just that will do wonders to equalize the eMac's slower CPU. And if you're comparing the eMac to a Celeron, the CPU ain't even slower.
Another thing to consider is the fact that Apple uses high-quality tubes in their CRT's. This isn't the $75 special you get at the low end. Price out an equivalent box from a major maker (include a decent GPU and a Good monitor) and you'll see Apple fairs decently against them price-wise.
It's not for the faint of heart, but it will get you up and online in 20 minutes or so. Then apt-get your way to what you want.
Of course, you do need to write your own fstab,mtab and lilo.conf. As well as manually untarring a couple of tarballs onto your HDD. But it beats using dselect anyday.
Nader should have gone to jail for 'Unsafe at any Speed', the conclusions of which where demonstratably false except for 1 particular configuration of the Corvair which was only sold for the first year (the base model with no anti-roll bars)
Which is exactly what Nikon does as well(And Fuji, Kodak, Pentax, Minolta, Sigma and Olympus too) and considering that Nikon currently has the most noise-free output in the D2H (Which uses an inherently noisy LBCAST sensor), I'd say that Nikon's got a pretty good handle on the issue.
Canon's technology results in an image whic is less noisy than a prosumer digital, not less noisy than the other DSLR's (except maybe Sigma's POS Foveon job)
It's about the same price as an F100, has a better meter, less-sensitive AF and the same shutter. Of course they did cheap out and use a Pentamirror viewfinder insted of a pentaprism.
What's wrong with the price? It's quite reasonable considering the specs.
Fortunately, that's not true. The Canon CMOS sensor is noisier than a CCD sensor like the Nikon's use (The D70 shares a sensor with the D100). Of course, if you want the best results in a 6MP camera, you should be buying a Fuji S2 Pro.
Now the 1Ds Mk.II does produce better images, but it's way more money.
Nikon D70. $999US, ships tomorrow. 6.3MP sensor, 3fps, the N80's AF module, the F5's meter and Nikon's crappy digital flash tech (Why couldn't Nikon buy Fuji's Flash system, which allows normal Nikon flash capabilities on a Digital body).
Slashdot Mirror
I think you mean a switch, not a router. A router can do this, but at a major performance cost. A switch does this by design.
Oh, and 1000baseTX is a switched-only Ethernet(Of course, it's only really ethernet due to marketing decisions).

IOS is an OS. It's quite router-specific, but it is an OS nonetheless. As is JunOS on Junipers (Which is FreeBSD based).
Even many dinky little routers actually run Linux as their OS.
They exist. Check out the Mamiya 645AF-D. Available 6, 11 and 22MP backs, plus 220 and 120 Film backs.
Of course, these are Medium Format SLR's, not 35mm. Hasselblad offers something similar in their 645 line.

Yep, using Mplayer OS X, not Media Player 9 (which won't play WM9 Video)

Do what I do. Use Bluewall as a Live CD.

I went to school with the Cummings sisters and the Comyn sisters. The jokes were fun ;-)

Actually, airline costs for similar distances would be around $100/lb for payload.
$10,000/lb or more for the shuttle, Soyuz is about half that, that's launch costs, not retail.
The pity is that DC-X was looking to be sub-$1000/lb, possibly as low as $100/lb, which is around airline pricing.
Then NASA cancelled it.
Precious few Bedu in Israel. Being that Bedouins are nomadic arabs who live primarily on the Arabian Peninsula.
Considering you can walk across Israel in a day, there ain't much room for nomads there, even if they were within 1000 miles of the Arabian Peninsula.
8GB is the current limit. And you can buy a 17" powerbook loaded, with the 40GB iPod for less money (The 8GB CF card is about $8,000)

Oh, I do agree on that. I'm a big fan of my $200 20 year old FA.
It's about the same price as an F100, has a better meter, less-sensitive AF and the same shutter. Of course they did cheap out and use a Pentamirror viewfinder insted of a pentaprism.

Actually, it tends to look as pixellated as shit.
As does 2MP images seen full-screen on my 21" monitor (At 1600x1200).
Now my 2800dpi slide scans look damned nice, but they're 31MB per uncompressed image. Would kill to have Minlta's 5400dpi slide scanner though.

That started happening 5 years ago.
It's called Windows Terminal Services.
Works pretty well for many things.
