Most contracts have an arbitration clause and in my experience small
claims courts judges get confused by anything high-tech and will use the
arbitration clause to get out of thinking about it.




Re: Cable-Tying with Waxed Twine

Hey all,

This seems a wee bit off topic, but definitely relates to network 
operations (somewhere below layer 1) and I can't think of a better 
place to ask.


Upon leaving a router at telx and asking one of their techs to plug in 
the equipment for me, I came back to find all my cat5 cables neatly 
tied with some sort of waxed twine, using an interesting looping knot 
pattern that repeated every six inches or so using a single piece of 
string.  For some reason, I found this trick really cool.


I have tried googling for the method, (it's apparently standard, I've 
seen it in play elsewhere), and for the type of twine, but had little 
luck.  I was wondering if any of the gurus out there would care to 
share what this knot-pattern is actually called, and/or if there's a 
(illustrated) howto somewhere?

There was no documentation anywhere specifying the turnaround time for 
maintainer object creation.  Had there been a message returned with the 
object saying hold your horses for 3 days, I would have.
Maybe there is no auto responder because of the huge amount of spam 
auto-dbm receives?

FWIW:  The last 2 two requests I put into Bill were done in  24 hours.  The most
recent was about a week ago.
