  7. Level playing field - an oxymoron on NASA's Hansen Calls Out Obama On Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Alternative fuels are unfortunately a sham. No technology or mix of technologies provides even a tenth of the energy output of fossil fuels. Affordability of basic commodities ( plastics) and food production ( fertilisers, without which we could barely feed 4 billion) all depend on petroleum. It's not just energy. The amount of acreage needed to grow biofuels would need to be greater than the total used for food production, and this is WITH synthetic fertilisers made from oil. The whole industrial paradigm is going to rot, a lot of people will have to die before we're anything like 'sustainable' without fossil fuels. Yes, you can help shorten this painful interlude now. Kill yourself.

    Its fucking awsome. I don't care what it costs you. IMO you should stop bitching about the high cost of the program and get with the research. None of this is 'real' money anyway.

  14. Re:How much is your time worth on Handmade vs. Commercially Produced Ethernet Cables · · Score: 1

    The TCP/IP protocol stack has nothing whatever to do with cables.

      Yes, you can make cables with a hand held crimper that are just as good as store bought ones - a decent SLT tester set will tell you what the ACR and NEXT values are. You don't really need to make your cables as good as that for your application, a T1 is 1.5Mb/s, this is an order of magnitude ( or two) less than the switch, so regular cat5 wiring, jacks, patchcords, patchpanels, etc. You can't make your T1 any faster by having "good" cables.....

    Yes, there is ageism in IT. There's ageism in just about every part of today's society. That should not stop you from getting a degree. I went back to college at about your age. Just remember that there is plenty of IT geeks with a BS degree and not a whit of experience - it's what you do with your degree that counts. BTW, it is possible to have a career without one.

    yeah, right. Let's all pretend that you couldn't tunnel content in ssh or that ftp was never used for wares ( or hentai for that matter).

    The idea of traffic grooming is fine as long as the customer knows what he is buying into. Most customers wouldn't know bandwidth grooming from overbooking & this is why it happens.

    If they did know, if they were made aware of the fact that their spanking new DSL advertised at XKb/s is worth X/10 worth of their favourite content, they'd likely choose alternatives -- If any were to be had.

    Truth in advertising, content labeling shouldn't just apply to vodka, medicines or peanut butter.

    Oh, yeah, Bell Canada was selling "groomed" bandwidth to wholesalers who, being just as unscrupulous, passed the ersatz access on to unwitting customers. I guess they all subscribe to the W.C.Fields school of customer relations
