I may be a bit off base here, but at 8 drops per room, you will need one hub per room (maybe per 2 rooms).
I don't mean that this would be a bad thing, but it is something to consider. Besides, interlinking hubs can be a good way to do it. Cut down on numebr of cables in the walls, fewer conduits, etc.
In the state of Michigan there is a law that says even if you're 18, you are considered a minor if you're still in HS (not sure how this applies to the occasional 20 something [not to sound racist, but you used to be able to find laotians and such who were in their 20's at public HS] Maybe this doesn't happen anymore due to community ed).
So 18 or not, I still had no rights at school. THAT SUCKS!!!! I could be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but still treated like a child. Nothing like having all the responsibilities and none of the privileges.
I'm not in HS anymore, and am a freshman in college, but I still sympathise with HS students in such predicaments. I could tell of all my experiences in MS/HS, including the false accusations, the invalid/probable illegal suspensions, the tramplings of my rights, and the whole bit, but it would take way too long.
I UNDERSTAND YOU, I SYMPATHISE WITH YOU, I _REALLY DO_ FEEL YOUR PAIN. But I still know that when it comes to a student vs administration, admin almost always wins, b/c they're the adults, and you the ignorant kid.
I didn't tell my parents until it had been happening for 2 years. I regret this greatly, it cost me a lot.
I really need to shut up now. It hurts too much, and I am getting angry over things that are in my past and I can't do anything about. But never think that you're the only one. YOU'RE NOT!!! But maybe you can do something about it, unlike I who did not, b/c I didn't believe I could. I was wrong, but by the time I knew that, it was too late, the damage was done.
What's funnier is that if you shape your query right(or wrong depending on the intent) you actually can find sites that you can't go to. Bess can't go to some places that Searchopolis finds.

In my junior year, they used some IBM shit, netvista I think it was. getting to March or so, they started the Bess, but didn't phase netvista out until late May. Blocked a lot of good stuff, very restrictive, though not much smut could get through (don't remember it being possible to get any, YMMV)
What some of us found out (in my senior year) was that we could bypass the filter altogether by telling Netscape to use the SOCKS proxy (port 1080) from the old netvista proxy. That worked for a while, until we were made, and that port was closed.
I didn't ever go looking for porn at school(instead I used it to do legitimate things that BESS didn't allow), though I know that some students did, using this "backdoor." They were part of what ruined it. Still, I have to believe that even if nobody had abused it (like that'll ever happen. Too many high schoolers are too immature) it still would have been closed b/c the school wanted complete control over what we could and couldn't do.
What really frustrated us was that I and a few of my friends were in a web design class, and often due to the crappy quality of the proxy, often we couldn't even upload our own webpages. not to mention all the wrangling over which services were allowed. I could keep going, b/c this really steamed me, but I probably shouldn't.
One last note on the restrictiveness of WOHS. In my senior year (officially in order to improve our safety, xref Columbine and related [including incidences of adults] as well as to enforce the closed campus policy [except for seniors @ lunch and coop programs]) cattle gates were put up at the parking lot entrances, most doors were locked, and all teachers were required to use security passes like many corporations and hospitals. The running joke was that we were all at West Ottawa Penitentiary. And I can't forget the "We are not cows" gag. Even worse was the fact that our security officer completed his police training, and now carried a gun. If we hadn't been afraid of him before, now we had more reason (he was a good guy, but I still don't like cops, or anyone who I must deal with who carries a gun).
Some of my friends are still students, and I don't envy them at all. Security is tougher this year than last year. I couldn't even get in to talk to a student that I was trying to interview for a paper for my ENG 150 class at GVSU.edu
I intend to code all my dates in 16-bits (two characters, no larger than current date format), which will not become a problem until 65535 A.D., which beats out any 5-bit year. Or, If I'm feeling crazy, I'll use a 32-bit date(4 chars, std size for Y2K compliant dates), and allow up to the year 4,294,967,295 AD, beating out even a 6-digit year, outright. Maybe I'll try a 64-bit date, If I'm feeling insance.
This is a fragment from a poem by J.R.R Tolkien, taken from The Fellowship of the Ring.
To quote the entire poem:
Seek for the Sword that was Broken In Imladris it dwells There shall be counsels taken Stronger than Morgul-spells There shall be shown a token That Doom is near at hand, For Isildur's Bane shall waken and the Halfling forth shall stand.
As to Wesley Crusher, I doubt it greatly. He's not into medicine, that's his mother.
In my understanding, the importance of the number 666 is that 6 is incomplete. 7 is complete, as is 3, so maybe 777 would be complete, but 666, which is 3 6's, is not complete. Satan is not complete, he is imperfect, unlike Yah Weh. Anyway, I could be talking out of my ass here, as I do not study numerology, theology, etc. My $.02/US
Several months ago I came across a site that used JPEGs, and animated them using JavaScript (I think that's how they did it).
This would be a halfway decent way to replace most of our animated GIFs. Only problem is that at least 2 are transparent GIFs, which means that I still can't replace them.
Incidentally, the reason that I can't just fudge the background is that my BG is not solid, and if I tried to put the background in, it wouldn't always be aligned.
Anyway, if anybody out there is great at JavaScript, maybe they can write such a script for animating using multiple JPEGs.
I'm subscribed to the kernel digest, but unfortunately don't get to read all of it. I have two questions about the current state of the 2.3.x kernel (I stopped compiling successively newer kernels after 2.3.5[merely recompiling for difference options]. This was b/c 2.3.6 was broken pretty badly (IIRC) and 2.3.7 (And also 2.3.6) was when the vfat was broken w/ the page cache rewrites)
So, does VFAT work yet??? I've seen something about VFAT being Read/only, but I may have read that wrong, having never read the original post.
Second, I had heard that ALSA was going to be put into the kernel, to replace/supplement OSS/Free. Is this not going to happen in 2.3.x, or maybe it'll be a minor change doable in 2.4? Is ALSA not considered complete/stable enough. Comments welcome on both q's.

gRip does this for Linux.
I agree that you are mostly right, but I must also ref a post I made above.
In Michigan there is a law that basically says that even if you're 18, you can be treated as a minor if You're a student in/at school.

Yes, "Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely", but you're missing the first part of the quote, "Power tend to corrupt, and absolute ..."

Why are limitations 1 & 3 limitations????
If you want lossy compression, go for JPEG.
Uncompressed, go for BMP, or similar.
I can't remove PNG from the Applications section of preferences (Netscape 4.08 @ school, and 4.5+ @ home).
.dll, then netscape crashes when you try to load a png
Real pain, especially if you remove the plugin
My guess is /. effect. Be patient, "service will be restored temporarily"
