[OT] Optic Fibre Concepts
by Rony Bill 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

Hello All, In the concrete jungles that we live in, the amount of natural daylight that is available to every room in our buildings is negligible. This results in full usage of electric lighting even during the daytime. Due to this, our electricity bills shoot up and the commercial establishments pay the maximum price for this. We all know that optic fibres can transport light over long distances and are flexible enough. A single optic fibre is too thin to transport a huge amount of light but suppose a whole bunch of optic fibres were used to form a... say one inch (or more) thick cable, then would it be possible to transport a high intensity of light through this cable? This needs to be experimented. If successful, then we can have a thick cable that runs from the terrace of the building to the room where the lighting is needed. The bright sunlight can be focused on the cable using parabolic reflectors or optical lenses. A transparent heat shield can be placed just before the cable starts, to absorb excess heat. At the receiving end, a special spherical glass unit with multiple miniature prisms can be used to evenly disperse the light like a bulb. For every 'bulb' there will be one cable. The cable will be flexible enough to be routed in a neat way. If this system works for even 50% to 60% of total office lighting, then this will mean a huge saving on electricity bills for commercial establishments as well as residences and will be a clean, maintainence-free source of day-light energy.

Useful when all the NICs use the same driver. Take a look at the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* scripts.

If they are > shot circuited in the mouse, the serial driver on mobo are bound to > get damaged. BTW all the rats (aka mouse) are not made equal -:)) Newer serial mice use only the rxd pin (data into the pc) for communication and the handshake outputs from the pc as their power source. If the serial driver on the mobo is unable to source sufficient current - they are not supposed to supply more than a few milliamps - it will burn out. Very old serial mice used power from the keybd din connector which is designed to supply about 100ma. rgds jtd

What ports need to be masqueraded for VPN connections?
by Rishi 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

Hi We have a LAN with windows workstations connecting to the internet using a Linux router. Because of the viruses penetrating through internet explorer we've disabled Masquerading/NAT of the entire network and installed a proxy which does content filtering and virus scanning. However, a few windows workstations connect to a VPN. Does anyone know what ports need to be masqueraded for VPN connections? Thanks Regards Rishi
