Certainly makes a phone with a proper keyboard even more rewarding.

7.1 Comparing 568A and 568B
By looking at the first two specifications we see that the only difference is that the green and orange pairs are terminated to different pins, there is no difference as to what signal is used on what pin, only what colour wire is terminated onto it. So technically the standards are the same, they operate in the same manner and neither one is technically superior to another when used in Ethernet applications.
It is when an Ethernet system and a phone system are combined that the difference really becomes apparent.
So, 568A/B is just a wiring standard, and if you have one end A and one end B, you have a cross-over cable, which I’m pretty sure was obviated by 100baseT. I learned to crimp CAT5 cables that were TIA-568A on one end and terminated to operate through buildings wired CAT3 USOC. We had special “splitter” dongles for offices with two workstations, since at least in the 10mbit days you only needed 2 pairs per Ethernet connection, and then we terminated the patch cables in the data closet to have two heads.
But reading your post I’m going to figure CAT5 is rated to 100M and CAT5e is rated to 350M, but figure that if you’re wiring a building try to have closets to terminate at 100M anyway.
Sincerly,

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetAlong these lines, as a personal project, I made my own map of San Francisco’s transit system. It is not the greatest map in the world, but I made it Open Source so if someone did want to riff on it, they could:

My approach was “what could I design for a 15×15 inch paper” . . . there are other web sites that are into mashups and all, the trick with a map, ESPECIALLY the NY subway map, is to selectively compress the useful information into something legible.
I was hoping in the above link to read more about the rationale for the colors.
Sometimes I think a NY subway map would be a fun project but I think I would go insane.
Sincerely,

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI think it is more that we are pack animals looking for leaders. A charismatic leader who is supremely self confident and has an answer for everything can be appealing in a politician, a boss, or a lover, whatever your gender. Our culture perceives the role of charismatic leader asshole as a male role, but "nice girls" suffer the same frustrations as the "nice boys" because men find bitches to be hot, despite themselves.-danny
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetThis guys explanation is rambling, confusing, and ten times longer than it needs to be. MX is a record type of the Domain Name System (DNS) which indicates what servers will receive and process incoming e-mail messages for a given domain name. This can easily be stated in 8 seconds.

This is not unlike throwing a party in Maine and advertising it as Boston.

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetAndrew, I totally keep a URL bar and a bookmark bar open! (Most of the time my screen is way bigger.)
Also, I didn’t want to restart the Firefox window because I’d lose my place in Reader. :/
What I was too lazy to do was go into a graphics program to measure the difference in size. If you focus on the Google Reader viewport, even correcting for the “Restart Firefox” bar, I get a quick and dirty 75mm in Firefox and 100cm in Reader’s app mode. That’s an additional 33%. Admittedly, half the problem is that Google Reader’s interface sucks for a short screen, and I would prefer a lot of that cruft to get out of the way.
I forgot the other Google Chrome feature I enjoy is that it scales images more aesthetically than Firefox.
Anyway, good points, man!
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetIn my book, Atheism is reverence toward God.
If God is almighty and all powerful, and leads an existence in the Universe beyond my ability to perceive it, then the most responsible approach I can take towards this thing beyond my perception is to shut the heck up about it, and focus on our collective worldly life.
So, maybe “God does not exist within my perception of reality.”
Or perhaps, “The question of God’s existence is irrelevant, but if for some reason it needs to reveal itself unto me, I bet it could hook that up.”
Or more modesty? “I have been unable to perceive the existence or intentions of God. I do think that Faith is important, and I put my faith in humanity, which tests my faith as surely as God tests the faith of its believers.”

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetBarry,I understand the desire for consistency, but a Debian shop shouldn't have much trouble supporting a few Red Hat servers. The question then would be whether Red Hat is worth the pain. (I once switched our production network from FreeBSD to Red Hat due to multipath.)I am curious if this setup will have enough bandwidth to the 7200RPM/1TB backend devices once you get to scale. Hopefully will duplicate hot content to multiple nodes. I interviewed at a few shops selling access to streaming video content, and the common story was than network bandwidth wasn't the problem: balancing streaming video requests through disk access bottlenecks was the issue.Anyway, I look forward to reading more about this. I hope that supporting and managing this backend doesn't suck up too much staff time. Good luck!Sincerely,-daniel
