Re: OT: Speed Cams
This is part of an april fools joke that KTAR is doing this year. Last year the april fools was turning the 101 and the 51 into toll roads. each costing $1.01 and $0.51 respectivly. this is the link to their story http://ktar.com/?nid=6sid=1112673. Usually it's either the next day or at least near the end of the day when they do their announcment of April Fools!. So don't worry this is just an april fools joke.

Re: OT: Speed Cams
ktar announced about half an hour ago that the 350 speed cameras was an april fools joke. http://ktar.com/?nid=6sid=1113496 . It was a good one and at least I got a few laughs out of it.

Re: OT:Switch boosts ethernet?
a switch will boost the power and act as a repeater for you. So yes putting a switch in the middle of 2 - 200foot cables would work.

Re: Linux without swap
From what I have heard swap space isn't necessary like you were saying. In netbooks they aren't using swap space, because it reduces the strain put on the solid state harddrives that have a finite number of read/writes before they go bad. I'd say that as long as you have enough memory in your computer you would be perfectly fine with running without swap.

Re: dual monitor headscratcher
Usually Xinerama will make it work. So you want to change xinerama 0 in your xorg.conf to xinerama 1. That should get it to work. At least that's what has gotten it to work for me before.
