I had some official PDF file with a stamp and autograph a while ago.
I tried to view it in IE, Edge, Firefox and Chrome and all browsers showed a different result.
Chrome did everything as it should I think, Edge displayed something completely different (like it wasn't the same file even though it was), IE didn't display the stamp and autograph and Firefox displayed the stamp and autograph but had some different contents.
We found out because these browser differences almost cost me my visa to go on a vacation 
Really crazy stuff...

It's all because adobe took the perfectly workable postscript, and turned it into a bloated, overcomplicated monster.

PDF should never have been born; it's well past time it died.

Hello all,
Today a colleague has told me that a guy from the phone company billed him some money to change a 5E category cable for a 5e category one as the 5E is not as good as the 5e.
I've been really surprised to hear that as I did not know that 5e was different from 5E.
Do you know if there is any difference or it was simply a guy trying to get some extra money?
PS: I've searched the Internet and I have not found any mention that it would be different...
As always thank you very much!

Not heard of 5e and 5E, but there is a difference between Cat 5 and cat 5e. Ones 100Mb and the other is 1Gb respectively

I've never heard of a different between 5E and 5e - I'm pretty sure they are the same as I'm only aware of Cat 5, Cat 5E, and Cat 6. There are differences between 5 and 5E, and between 5E and 6, but for "normal" broadband speeds they are pretty irrelevant. I've often seen cable marked with both "5E" and "5e" depending on who programmed the cable printer at the manufacturers.
I suspect the phone company was guessing, or replacing a Cat 5 with 5E, or swapping out a duff cable.

It gets interesting when you try to get TV over Ethernet.. depending on the frequencies of some TV channels, even cat6 might not be working, but very few people are aware of this.
I have cat7 in my new house, to anticipate such kind of oncoming problems (4K TV => higher frequencies and I would hate to recable my house just because standards changed.).

You seem to confuse the uncompressed video bit rate with the compressed stream data rate.

If you are using HDMI -> Ethernet -> HDMI to put HDMI over a greater distance or through somewhere you can't run an HDMI cable, you need to use Cat 6A, standard Cat 6 may work but is not the supported standard.
Was working with some Audio Visual guys down the city in the last 2 months.

Yes, exactly, due to frequency and speed requirements.

We have a fiber optic feed from the street into our Verizon box, and a co-ax from that box to the router. We very successfully live-stream Amazon movies from the router via Wi-Fi and I believe Wi-Fi speeds are about a tenth of basic Cat 5? I don't understand why you cannot stream TV over Cat 5?

Because frequencies of signals are limited to about 860MHz. On satellite signals (after transmission by the decoder), you can have channels lying on a range that goes from 1000 to 2150MHz, which are filtered out by Cat5 cables because they cannot cope with such a high frequency.

It is the very same. No difference.

There is no difference.
The term "Cat 5e" has been removed from ISO 11801 in 2003. With cables manufactured before that date the 'e' indicates 1 GHz capability while Cat 5 only ensures 100 MHz. Cables manufactured after 2003 must be according to the above ISO 1 GHz capable.

My previous washing machine had a severe problem with sensors and the main computer. The tech told me it was due to my not using "sears brand" detergent.
