"How about nuclear power?"

A guy was seated next to an attractive blonde lady on an airplane. Being bored, he turned to the blonde and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."


The blonde, who was reading a book, closed it slowly and said to the guy, "What would you like to talk about?"

Oh, I don't know," said the guy. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff... grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

The guy thought about it and said, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the blonde replied, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know sh*t?"

D-Link DES-1005D 5-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch - Free Shipping

D-Link DES-1005D 5-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch - Free Shipping
Easily create a high-speed Ethernet network.< /font>


Australia Wide Free Shipping

Overview

The DES-1005D is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch designed to enhance small workgroup performance while providing a high level of flexibility. Powerful yet easy to use, this device allows users to simply plug any port to either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidths, boost response time and satisfy heavy load demands.

5 Auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ports The switch comes with 5 10/100Mbps ports, allowing a small workgroup to flexibly connect to Ethernet ad Fast Ethernet and integrate. These intelligent ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T, as well as between full- and half-duplex.

Flow Control for Secure Transmission All ports support 802.3x flow control. This function minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full. Flow control is available in the full-duplex mode.

Auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX Cross Over All ports support auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX cross over. This eliminates the need for cross over cables or uplink ports. Any port can simply plug to a server, a hub or a switch, using the usual straight-through twisted-pair cable.

SOHO Plug-and-Play With 5 plug-and-play ports, the switch is a perfect choice for the small workgroup to upgrade performance in a client/server environment. The ports can be connected to servers in full-duplex, or hubs in half-duplex.

Desktop Power With low-cost connection per-port, the switch can also be set up for direct connection from the PCs. This relieves data bottleneck by giving each workstation a dedicated bandwidth on the network.

Features

 > 5 10/100Mbps ports  > Per-port auto MDI/MDIX  > All ports support full/half-duplex, network speed autonegotiation  > Per-port 802.3x flow control for protection against data loss  > Auto-learning of network configuration  > Secure store-and-forward switching scheme  > Auto-correction of reverse twisted-pair polarity  > Compact palm-sized

Technology

There is so much Technology around, growing daily, Thought I'd start a blog to list all the good stuff I find.

Heres a joke to start it off



How To Please Your I.T. Department




(A quick check list for those who need to make contact.]



1. When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children's art. We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.



2. Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here.



3. When an I.T. person says he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember 700 screen saver passwords.



4. When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what's keeping you from getting it. We don't need to know that you can't get into your mail because your computer won't power on at all.



5. When I.T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance, delete it at once. We're just testing.



6. When an I.T. person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your guts right out. We exist only to serve.



7. Send urgent email all in uppercase. The mail server picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery.



8. When the photocopier doesn't work, call computer support. There's electronics in it.



9. When you're getting a NO DIAL TONE message at home, call computer support. We can fix your telephone line from here.



10. When you have a dozen old computer screens to get rid of, call computer support. We're collectors.



11. When something's wrong with your home PC, dump it on an I.T. person's chair with no name, no phone number and no description of the problem. We love a puzzle.



12. When an I.T. person tells you that computer screens don't have cartridges in them, argue. We love a good argument.



13. When an I.T. person tells you that he'll be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: "And just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?" That motivates us.



14. When the printer won't print, re-send the job at least 20 times. Print jobs frequently get sucked into black holes.



15. When the printer still won't print after 20 tries, send the job to all 68 printers in the company. One of them is bound to work.
