[quote="Shadowcat"Yeah but they're space faring owls. I don't think they need 500 feet of Ethernet cable to like, take over the universe or something.[/quote]
Well, what if the universe is one big network, but to gain access to the router you need to plug into an ethernet port from 500 feet away? I, for one, have complete trust in our Owl overlords.

"Sir, uhm, we are unable to activate the universe takeover machine for it requires internet access. As the nearest connection point is 500 feet away"

You guys forgot a "]" there...

Ethernet can only be run for a distance of 50 meters before the signal degrades enough to become unusable. You'd need several powered ethernet switches to run a 500 foot cable, and that shit gets expensive. Especially when you run the power cables. And then you realize that the shitty AC extension cables you used put out a metric shitton of RF interference, so you have to buy medal conduit to run your ethernet through to block the interference. Then after 3 months of constant debugging, you realize that one of the ethernet cables was terminated improperly and the twisted pairs are in the wrong order. Eventually, you wise up and try to use an RF link, only to realize that you only get half the bandwidth and 3 times more latency. But hey, it works.

And then a space taxi comes careening into the ethereal ethernet jack and knocks it through the nonexistent wall, causing the jack (and the Wi-Fi router attached to it) to disappear behind the universe. You'd crack it open to retrieve the jack, but the fabric of space-time is a helluva lot more resilient than drywall.

P.S. CMA, go find your radio. Also, fix your yagi. We have things to do.

What if we invest in fiber optics instead of copper cables?

Just what kind of empire do you think we're running here? Do you think we're made of made of money?

Working on it, right now I breathed in a shit ton of dust and mildew, so my lungs are fucked up. Should find the radio sometime the week(hopefully) and I'll maybe fix the Yagi sometime this summer, I still need to apply to a college, do a class on Einstein, finish 2 years of Calculus, finish a year of physics, and finish Chemistry. Gonna be a fun summer.

Mainly looking at the title. But it's a nice song, isn't it?

And it has arrived.

If I read fire regulations again I could probably mark like twenty off of those four photos.

It's a thinly veiled disguise of my telling you your room has crap all over it.

Vinyl's room might be messy, but at least he has floor space.
