  1. Re:Cat 5e vrs. Cat 6 on Building A (Serious) Home Network From Scratch · · Score: 1

    I lucked out when I bought my house. My brother owned the place before me and fully wired the place with CAT-5 to every room (4 drops) and (dark) fibre to the office, living room, and bedrooms. He installs cable for a small communications company, so he was able to get all of the supplies at cost or free. Everything is nicely terminated at a patch panel in the basement where I have my cable router and a 24-port 10-100 switch. I can basically plug in in any room in the house and have full connectivity. The best news of all is that my local utility has begun rolling out fibre to the curb service in my town! It really is a serious home network.

  2. Re:...And it doesn't display in Mozilla on National Do Not Call List Opens for Registrations · · Score: 1

    No, they don't. Poor developers write poor HTML code that does not display well in Mozilla. Thank you for playing, come again!

  3. Re:MS on Appeals Court Sides With Microsoft On Java · · Score: 1

    MS is no longer shipping ANY flavor of Java with their OSes. They just dropped the implementation altogether, proprietary version or not. Everyone here seems to be missing this point. This is probably what they should have done from the start, rather than shipping a crippled implementation.

  4. Who uses cursive nowadays? on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The only thing you need cursive for is to sign your paycheck.

  5. Re:nope, no feedback on SETI Goes to Arecibo To Stat *Candidates* · · Score: 1

    Ditto. One of my work units was on the list and I had no clue until I read this article and followed the link.

  6. Question for all on U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry is Law · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if this will also cover fax numbers? If so, where do I sign up? At the rate I get junk faxes, I'll be able to quit my day job and survive on the proceeds.

    1) Quit day job
    2) Collect junk faxes
    3) ????
    4) Profit!

  7. Re:I helped build a product that already does this on Interwoven Patents Code Versioning · · Score: 1

    I also worked for eBT as a Dynabase developer. Redbridge should be able to prove prior art (I believe Dynabase has been around since 1996 or so).
