Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Xavier Chin, 20, Seminole County, Floriduh Florida man crashes car then led police on bizarre nude foot chase Xavier Chin, 20, abandoned his vehicle after the crash in Seminole County, Florida on Sunday evening and began to run from responding deputies without any clothes on. Cellphone video showed the strange sight as Chin jogged through a field in an attempt to escape. Officers followed Chin as he ran in between homes trying to lose the police, according to ClickOrlando. About a mile away from the crash sight, Chin broke into the home of a man who was making dinner. Chin, who was covered in mud and blood, darted into the man's bedroom and jumped in his bed with hopes that police would never find him under the stranger's sheets. A short time later, deputies found Chin, who had thoroughly dirtied up the resident's bed. He was arrested and taken to a local emergency room where he was treated for injuries he sustained in the crash. Chin was charged with burglary, hit-and- run, criminal mischief and resisting arrest. He was booked at Seminole County Jail on Monday and his bail was set at $18,000. From: Eddie Re: Length of network cable Dear DearWebby Thanks for the info, but I have had some calls that stated that their modem/router was mor than 50 feet, and also I have this one guy there at the center that stated that after 25 ft. you will lose you connection speed. So I wonder if is in the wiring that they are making now and or what type of ethernet cord do you recommend? Eddie Dear Eddie The recommended maximum length for a cat5 or cat5e cable is 328 feet or 100 meters. CAT 6 is rated for 250Mhz up to a distance of 1000 meters. Those clowns should read what's written on the packages! Under 25 feet you don't really need cable, unless you have to go around a welder or a safe, because wireless is normally very fast for the first 25 feet anyway. With wireless it drops off with the cube of the distance, same as light. Twice the distance is 2 x 2 x 2 8 times less signal strength. 3 times further is 27 times less signal strength. 4 times further is 64 times less signal strength. With cable you don't have that problem. Cat 5 and Cat 6 are nicely shielded and since there is no real current flowing, there is no noticeable voltage drop. The network cards use CMOS transistors, that act like closed loop hydraulics. They transmit the push-pull impulses, but nothing flows out at either end. Keep in mind that on the other side of the modem is a crude and unshielded phone line that simultaneously also carries fax and voice and muzak and a pretty serious 60 cycle hum. The modem just peels off the high frequency, cleans it up a bit and forwards it down the ethernet cable. If the signal coming TO the modem is reasonably good, don't worry about the length of the ethernet cable. Have Fun! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs.
