    Make them eco friendly by forcing them to use planes even more? Clue: I live in the UK, I don't make four flights a year.

    If that was the intention then a "not more than" would have been a better idea.

    It looks like it's referring to the number of ports on the switch - 5, 8, 16, or 24 ports. No idea what specific terminology they used to get that phrase though.

    Yeah. Somewhat similar stuff exists in the Hacktivismo license. It claims that no Hactivismo licensed program can be used to violate human rights. Though the intent is noble, I doubt it does any good. Anyone ready to violate human rights isn't actually a prime candidate to respect software licensing terms.

    When you fly, you contribute to the demand that, in turn, causes planes to fly.

    Apparently it involves the Chinese character 干 (gan), which can mean 'to dry' or 'to do', with the latter interpretation having the same slang meaning of sexual intercourse in Chinese as it does in English.

    No, seriously, not joking! Here's Language Log's post on the matter.

    Still not entirely sure how that applies to fast Ethernet sentence, though. Maybe there was 'doing' somewhere else in the sentence and it somehow got transplanted in the midst of translation?

    Does flying 120 to 300 people at a time emit more CO2 than those 120 to 300 people driving to their destination?

    For trans-oceanic flights, does flying across the Atlantic or Pacific ocean emit more CO2 per person than taking a ship? (And not everyone has the time luxury of being able to cruise across an ocean.)

    Or are we supposed to stay on the continent that we were born on, and never travel across an ocean?

    Speaking of which, many researchers claim that a "well-to-wheels" (or "field-to-wheels") analysis shows that hydrogen and ethanol take more energy in their entire production, transportation, and storage lifetimes than they provide in available energy, while hydrocarbons provide more than they take.

    Strange.

    1. Produce summary It introduced four kinds of model numbers in this manual of 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch. Concrete model number is as follows:
    • 5 the fast ether in 10/100M in hull in plastic nets of ports switch the machine
    • 8 the fast ether in 10/100M in hull in iron nets of ports switch the machine
    • 16 the fast ether in 10/100M nets of ports switch the machine
    • 24 the fast ether in 10/100M nets of ports switch the machine

    The main characteristic in machine in four commutations distinguishes to near to, installing method similar

    I'm guessing;

    "Give cones change the machine"

    Has something to do with screws or another fastener, because they're given as common measurements of inches (which, btw, is evil compared to metric).

    Maybe something like torsion screws (is that a real thing, I'm not sure?), where 'give' means how much stress they can handle, and I guess they're cone-shaped (really long pointy cones with almost no curvature lengthwise). And when do you use them? - when you need to 'change the machine' (take it apart, swear at it, try to put the give cones back, then realize its a piece of junk, smash it with a hammer, and buy a real product).
