My opinion, space drops every 6 feet and higher than the equipment. We have 800lbs containers that are about five feet high each. We spaced all of the electrical and IT above that so we can place them anywhere in the room and it won't impact us. It makes sense for our workstation type furniture for it to be above. It has made reaching the drop much easier. When we end up connecting in the middle of dead space on a wall, we just use some basic panduit to make it look pretty.

I'm a Linux/Windows user so take it as you will, but FFS, lets not get into religion here. I don't have an iPod. I've never owned one and have no requirement for one. However, my friends swear by them. One person in particular has gone through at least 5 of them in two years. Each one had a manufacturing defect. Now if Microsoft had released something like that (360 red ring of death) everyone would be pissed, as they were. But we haven't heard the same backlash against Apple. I for one would be relieved to have Apple taken down a legal peg or two. I don't think they have the same "do no evil" mantra as our new Big Brother, Google. Rant over.

Man Uses Remote Logon To Help Find Laptop Thief 251

Posted by samzenpus from the cyber-bloodhound dept.
After his computer was stolen, Jose Caceres used a remote access program to log on every day and watch it being used. The laptop was stolen on Sept. 4, when he left it on top of his car while carrying other things into his home. "It was kind of frustrating because he was mostly using it to watch porn," Caceres said. "I couldn't get any information about him." Last week the thief messed up and registered on a web site with his name and address. Jose alerted the police, who arrested a suspect a few hours later. The moral of the story: never go to a porn site where you have to register.

Journal Journal: Is Gary Coleman Evil?

Journal by gbulmash
Gary Coleman has been shilling for Cash Call lately, trying to sell people on loans with outrageous interest rates (99.25% APR for example). These are the kinds of loans that help keep poor people poor. And that brings up this question: by virtue of making a buck off of this kind of exploitation of the poor, is Gary Coleman evil?
