We use Gig-E for our 2-node Oracle 9i RAC cluster. We have each NIC plugged into a different switch in our 3-switch fabric (which we'd have anyway). This way, if a switch or one of the node's interfaces dies, the other node's link doesn't drop. On Linux, the ethX interface sometimes disappears when the network link goes down, which can confuse Oracle. To my knowledge, this is the Oracle-preferred method for RAC interconnect.
A fast ethernet switch, rather than a hub, will provide dedicated bandwidth to each connected node. You could use a gigabit switch and NIC's, but your computers probably couldn't keep up with that kind of throughput.
In my development group, we store all our quick-reference material, equipment operation notes, etc. in a KB called LORE, available for about $100 at http://www.pineappletechnologies.com/products/lore /. It's written in PHP, and you get the source code. Very powerful. Our vendor-supplied PDF's, etc., go in a well-defined directory structure.

I work with somebody who has a Tungsten and a Wi-Fi SD card -- works great.
Wow, I've never heard of using Photoshop for network documentation.:)
Excel would be an excellent tool for this. You could set up a worksheet (tab) for each switch. For a 48-port switch, use a 24x2 grid, so each cell is a physical port. You can even color-code the cells.
The real solution here is for trustable entities to cryptographically sign their e-mails. This includes banks, e-commerce companies, and in this case, a colonel.
This is by no means a new idea, but NO ONE does it. Like most people, I have e-commerce relationships with >10 companies, from banks to Amazon.com, and none of the e-mails I get from them are signed.
S/MIME is not as easy to set up nor as obvious as it should be. If used, though, it would squash the phishing problem AND the "virus from spoofed sender" problem altogether.
The trick is to keep your hits from getting to the DB as much as possible. The techniques for this are varied, but mostly this means caching your pages as static content. Depending on the dynamic nature of your site's content, you might be able to run a cron job daily that renders much of your site's content into static HTML files.
This isn't about making it easy to persecute sex offenders; it's about making it easy for the public to find out if they're in the vicinity one of them.
Look at it this way: if you were a parent of young girls, wouldn't you want to be able to easily find your house on a map, then see if there are any located near your house?
Also, exactly how do you differentiate between "minor" and "major" sex offenses? A crime is a crime.
That said, I'm not sure why sex offenders get a special database but other criminals who could affect the public don't.
...which is wrong. In the TCP/IP model, it's "Layer 5", not "Level 5". I was initially tricked into thinking of Level 3 when I saw their company name. I hope they have good trademark lawyers.
People in these threads always complain about wanting "just a phone that works, please". I challenge anyone to prove that phones' modern bells and whistles detract in any way from their ability to provide phone service.
Your phone's inclusion of Tetris, a camera, and polyphonic ringtones is NOT a trade-off against reception, battery life, or purchase price. I promise your $30 basic phone would not be any cheaper if it were "just a phone". Your reception and battery life, likewise, would not increase if it were "just a phone".
In short, if you don't want the features, IGNORE THEM. It's really easy.
Are you also going to complain about your Ford Escort's included radio?
There's always the one-button "911 only" phones, which operate without a service plan at all, if you really don't want *any* features.:)
Many people here are complaining about theater food prices. For many theaters, concessions are their only opportunity to earn real money. In my local area, out of an $8 ticket, the theater keeps about $1. ONE DOLLAR. Concessions *require* a huge markup to bring in enough revenue to make the theater profitable enough to exist.
So, the real culprit for high concession prices is Hollywood, for requiring theaters to pay them so much.
This is, however, an excellent reason to eat dinner *before* the movie.:)
Is Apple really calling this "OS Xi", or did we make that up? I realize the "i" stands for Intel, but I parse "Xi" as 11, in Roman numerals. I realize Roman numerals are uppercase, but it's still confusing. Not that I have a better idea.
There's already a technology for listening to random music that other people program without any regard to your own interests: FM radio.:)
Never once have I heard somebody's music in the car next to me and wished "gee, if I could only hear their thunderous bass in my own car, for my whole trip!". Also, how about we don't encourage drivers to try to play DJ while they're driving?

I use a Treo 650 with the free "pssh". Works great. Has a 320px wide screen and fits comfortably in a front pocket.

What IT security admin has time to sit and watch a video feed during the day? Well-presented text is much more information-dense than video.

If you don't want to be limited by SPF, you could always create an SPF rule that allows relaying from 0.0.0.0/0 (i.e., the whole Internet). :)

Judging by the pictures, I think these AP's might be from BelAir.

I've seen Windows 2000 Pro work great on machines as slow as PII-300's. Very stable, and no slower than 9x.
