lol... yea.. I was working for a school one time, and they were always complaining about their network, so I got hired, to help repair it. Started tinkering around with the lan cables, and tracing them... the school has one long hallway, opened up the ceiling and wow... cables all over the florescent lights, and just everywhere. there was one cable that ran from the server room, to a hub, (not a switch, a hub), that was more then 150m away. I'm was surprized the network still worked... and the funny thing, the cable ran right next to a repeater after about 75m but no one bothered to cut the cable and run it through it.
I don't know who ran the cabling for the school but wow... had one switch that was said to be causing trouble, went to look for and, found it alright, with a paper clip jammed into it, hanging by the wires....
Only reason that its nice there are these stupid people around is job security.
