1) A trademark for a LAN protocol.
2) A local area network first described by Metcalfe & Boggs of Xerox PARC in 1976. Specified by DEC, Intel and XEROX (DIX) as IEEE 802.3 and now recognised as the industry standard.
Data is broken into packets and each one is transmitted using the CSMA/CD algorithm until it arrives at the destination without colliding with any other packet. The first contention slot after a transmission is reserved for an acknowledge packet. A node is either transmitting or receiving at any instant. The bandwidth is about 10 Mbit/s. Disk-Ethernet-Disk transfer rate with TCP/IP is typically 30 kilobyte per second.
Version 2 specifies that collision detect of the transceiver must be activated during the inter-packet gap and that when transmission finishes, the differential transmit lines are driven to 0V (half step). It also specifies some network management functions such as reporting collisions, retries and deferrals.
Ethernet cables are classified as "XbaseY", e.g. 10base5, where X is the data rate in Mbps, "base" means "baseband" (as opposed to radio frequency) and Y is the category of cabling. The original cable was 10base5 ("full spec"), others are 10base2 ("thinnet") and 10baseT ("twisted pair") which is now (1998) very common. 100baseT ("Fast Ethernet") is also increasingly common.

Get the ethan kim mug.
A bendy fellow who likes to molest and engage in copulation with his fellow dogs. He sometimes turns into a god at C.S but that requires him to earrape his teammates. He is kind of sociable and extremely violent as he throws bean bags at everyone. He likes to wank 10 times to keep his family doctor away. He shouts at everyone because he is insecure about his smoll dik.

Get the Ethan Nestor mug.Self-delusional banter from uneducated, obese white males; which describes all of the "things" that one is going to do, should do, and has to do. In reality, these "tasks" are either delegated to a spouse, significant other, friends or children - or not done at all. A typical venue in which this To-Do list is discussed is while sitting down, drinking beer and/or chewing tobacco.
White trash work ethic example:
Person 1: "Next week, I'ma gonna hafta moov all deze boxes out of the living room, den I gotsta haul all dat trash outa da garage, put in dat new batroom, and maw da lawn."
Person 2: "Really? You're going to do all that by yourself? Your such a go-getter! Is your wife going to wipe your ass for you again and do it? Or are you going to pawn it off on one of your friends? You're such a fat, lazy leach of a shit."
