More than a year ago, we know PoE vendors, mainly Microsemi, were working on getting their PoE into different network nodes including the laptops so that they get the power directly from the ethernet port making the AC/DC supply redundant. This could mean a lot of saving on energy and could probably reduce the cost of devices as no more power supply was required. With 802.3at, the aim was to have devices powered through ethernet that consume around 40 watts of power.

One of the reasons I look forward to Fridays in general is that they herald the upcoming weekend, and also because Bill Maher is on HBO at 10 PM. I recorded his last show and finally got time to sit down to watch it a few days ago. His second guest of the night was Chef & Restaurateur Alice Waters .

Everyday stresses can build up and hang around in the back of our minds so that even when we have free time to relax and unwind, we find ourselves stressed out about all the little things that are bugging us. So today I would like to invite everyone to let go of all their frustrations and, as part of the cleansing process, tell us about the stuff that’s been driving you crazy

For some unexplainable reason, surfing keeps finding its way into my life lately. I dreamt of surfing the other night. The following day, I sat down on the couch after straightening up our kitchen and the show Parenthood was ending by showing one of the show’s fathers sitting on a surfboard and smiling contently as he looked out to sea.

What is the meaning of life ? Why are we here? What is the answer to life, the universe , everything? Have you ever asked yourself these questions? Quite probably you have. Whether you were having some kind of crises in your life, or you just like exploring your own inner existentialism, the need to know, or at least feel better, about our existence is one that has plagued mankind since the beginning of time. At least, I assume it has. It sure as hell messes with my mind. You might be thinking that I am going through a crises, since I am obviously thinking about my existence. Well, I actually do enjoy thinking about my existence, and how it fits in with the big scheme of things. Do I have any answers? Of course not. I don’t believe in definite answers, at least where existence and the meaning of life are concerned. First off I would like to say that, in the big scheme of things, we are nothing. We are next to nothing. We aren’t even dust in the wind. Think about it. Think about the immensity of the universe, of everything. Supposedly, in our galaxy, there are two hundred billion stars. Just in our galaxy. And speaking of our galaxy, scientists estimate it is about thirty kiloparsecs in diameter and about one kiloparsec thick. Now one parsec is about 3.262 light years , or 19 trillion miles. So that would make our galaxy approximately ninety-seven thousand, eight hundred and sixty light years across. Ok, now, supposedly there are one hundred and twenty-five billion galaxies in the universe. These numbers are, to me, almost completely unimaginable. These are expanses that I can scarcely even conceive. And here we are. On one little planet in one little, microscopic solar system . To believe that we are all along in the universe, as far as sentient life goes, seems kind of ridiculous when imagining the awesome size of existence. But unlike other believers in aliens and what not, I don’t really think it has any bearing on us whether there is life out there or not. If there were aliens and they had the ability to cross vast reaches of space, then they would most likely have technology far in advance of ours that it might as well be magic. So why would they be interested in the strange, primitive, and mostly harmless creatures that rule over one little tiny speck in a vast vast ocean? The answer is: they wouldn’t. They wouldn’t care. They wouldn’t even slow down to dump their alien trash, assuming they were traveling in a manner where speed is actually relative. So for all intents and purposes, we are alone. Left to our own devices. When we reach a technological level where we have achieved faster-than-light travel , well, then maybe the aliens will stop by, but only to vaporize humanity and leave the earth a lifeless rock

It’s Tax Day! Accountants everywhere are rejoicing that they can see the light at the end of the tunnel of their busy season. But if you’re one of the people who still hasn’t finished their taxes, you’re probably scrambling to make sure everything is done and filed by today’s deadline. If you don’t get your taxes paid on time, you could be fined or get hit with failure-to-pay penalties.

Illustration: Examples of Makah basketry The Makah, or Qwiqwidicciat (people of the cape), appear to have lived and prospered on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state for the last four thousand years. While they still live in the vicinity, their tribal lands today are only a small proportion of their original homeland.

If you ask people some words to identify Italy, they will probably tell you food, fashion, art, beauty and, mafia. These stereotypes are actually true, unfortunately for the last one. Coppola’s movies and TV series like “The Sopranos’” helped the world in falling in love with the Mafia myth.

I go with Recon. M-95, extra ammo, binoculars, and that cool revolver I unlocked yesterday. Let’s do this. I drop down through the air, my parachute billowing and slowing my descent. I look down and notice a vacant tank, something Russian , like a T-90 or something, just waiting for someone to drive it. Unfortunately, another soldier, SuperPhat420 by his blue name hanging over his head, also notices it and starts steering his parachute towards it. Since he was quite a bit lower than me he gets there first. As he enters the tank its engine rumbles to life and he guns it. The big machine lurches forward, but I had timed it correctly and make it in just in time. I don’t mind not driving though. Gunning is preferable since, when the tank is inevitably destroyed, you can always blame it on the driver
