ummm finger in the air, B

 

8-ball out the window this time !

B

 

B sounds good, but C is niggling at me.

But B got the vote... :roll:

 

I might not get around to answering this one for a bit. Between the lab at HP and a contract job I picked up, I'll be working about 14 hours today and 12 hours tomorrow. Little time to get at the computer. Enjoy the Friday tidbit.

 

I feel for ya Trip, dont work yourself to hard tho.

Have a good one! I'll wait until tuesday to see the answer to this one....

!!

 

I'll probably be able to put it up by Sunday.

 

No probs, Trip - don't knock yourself out just for the answer

 

Correct answer (finally) is C: Data rate boundries. The other terms are made up. Basically, WLAN signals do not gradually decrease their data rate along with signal strength. It's more like a stair step effect as you are walking down the stairs. You start out at 11 mbps (802.11b), then step down to 5.5, then 2, then 1 (and then none).

Thought I'd better get this one in now. The contract job ran over and I've got to go in again today at 6. On Friday, between HP and the contract job, I worked 15 hours. Worked 12 1/2 yesterday. Hoping for a "short" day today. Should be wrapping up by decomissioning the old servers but things have gone wrong before. Have a good one, folks.
