An uplink port serves the same purpose as a crossover cable (which is to connect one end's TX pair to the other end's RX pair). If you want to connect two hubs or switches, use either a normal cable between a normal port of one and an uplink port of the other or a crossover cable between two normal ports.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
