elmer Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Wee! Drawing! Here we go! Meanwhile, Steve Jobs was a much beloved tyrant. Fans: All hail Steve Jobs Steve Jobs: Hail Citizens He was warned by a soothsayer Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March! Jobs, however, ignored this warning Jobs: What the hell are the ides of March? Soothsayer: Well, that's the fifteenth of March! Jobs: Why, that's today! Fans: [stab Jobs] Jobs: Et tu, Wozniak? Balmer: Friends, Apple users, countrymen, lend me your rears! I come to bury Jobs, so let's bury him and get onto my life, "Balmer and Gates" Gates [holding plastic snake]: Oh what is this, an ASP? An ASP I see before me! [snake bites] Gates: OH I AM SLAIN!

metatron Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I have both but I use WPA2 and a Radius servers to name a couple of things. I have a distrust for everyone, so if I can implement a security mechanism I will. I even switched to fiber over CAT5/6 as I’m aware of how easy it is to set surveillance up if someone’s just using straight copper. You may as well make it as hard as you can for people to spy on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I thought about setting up fiber in the home, but the cables (specifically, the pre-attached connectors) are too large to pull through the pipes in this house, plus the switches are (well, were at least) so much more expensive. Might be worth another look, though an easier, surefire way to make your own fiber cables would b useful aswell. Up until now I feel copper's good enough for my needs.

elmer Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 The crazy thing about fiber optics is that the price hasn't gone down that much for a long time. At least, that's true of the actual T1 service. I am not sure about the hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subflames Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 I wonder when the price of fiber optics will go down im considering just going to cat 6 size of cable has never been a problem just its cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deveant Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 the price of fiber is rather cheap, its actualy cheaper than Copper media atm, though the issue is the termination, it cost about 20x more just to have the end terminated, its due to the fussion, and the certs needed to be able to do it profecionaly. The other issue with Fiber is, its really only used for backbone connections, and will not in the soon future ever be used for terminal connections. The speed btwn the cable and the rate of which the NIC can handle are just to stupid copper is still to slow, so the conversions wont handle, though new Copper has been made :) and handles 10Gb easly, now all i need is a HDD able to run at that speed haha.

elmer Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I didn't know that! But I think that the T1 service itself is about four hundred dollars. IS that wrong, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
