Details, details, details #- Trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle. -- Michelangelo
- If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great Streetsweeper who did his job well. -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. -- Angelique Arnauld

List of device bandwidths / data transfer speeds #Wikipedia has an excellent list of device bandwidths. It would be nice to pair with a list of maximum distance / cable lengths, maybe something along the lines of:
| Type | Max Speed | Unit | Max distance / cable length | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bluetooth wireless PAN (2.4 GHz band) | 720 | Kbps | 10-100 meters | Distance depends on device class: Class 1 - 10m, Class 2 - 50m, Class 3 - 100m |
| Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) | 100 | Mbps | 100 meters | |
| FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394A) | 400 | Mbps | 4.5 meters | Up to 16 cables can be daisy chained using active repeaters |
| USB 3.0 | 5 | Gbps | 5 meters |

Opening and creating password-protected zip files in OS X #As of 10.5, the Finder cannot open password-protected zip files. It simply returns the helpful message "Unable to unarchive 'filename' into 'Location'. (Error 1 - Operation not permitted)" as seen here:
You can, however, use the Terminal to both open and create encrypted zip files:
Unencrypt and extract: unzip secret.zip
Compress and encrypt: zip -re new.zip folder_of_secrets/

"A duplicate name exists on the network" error when attempting to change Computer Name #After an HP NAS died, we repurposed a workstation as the new file server. Attempting to change the computer name to match the dead NAS, the following error kept appearing: "A duplicate name exists on the network", even though the NAS was not connected. We deleted all references to the NAS in Network Places and unmapped all drives to no avail. nbtstat -c returned no entries lurking in the NetBIOS cache. Finally, we disabled the workstation's NIC and were able to change the name without errors. Rebooted the workstation, enabled the NIC, and all was well.
