Cisco Exits the Consumer Market, Sells Linksys To Belkin
Krystalo writes "Belkin on Thursday announced plans to acquire Cisco's Home Networking Business Unit, including its products, technology, employees, and even the well-known Linksys brand. Belkin says it plans to maintain the Linksys brand and will offer support for Linksys products as part of the transaction, financial details for which were not disclosed. This should be a relatively smooth transition that won't affect current customers: Belkin says it will honor all valid warranties for current and future Linksys products. After the transaction closes, Belkin will account for approximately 30 percent of the U.S. retail home and small business networking market."
Wonderful, now there's no good router on the market.
The Linksys stuff took a nose dive in both reliability and software quality under Cisco's steerage. Belkin does better for some things though they are spotty on others. They are a very large player and I hope they unfuck what cisco's been fucking up.
I'd go on a Vegan diet but the delivery time from Vega is too long. --brownkitty
What does this mean for the non-IOS/NXOS devices with roots at Linksys, did Chambers and company finally realize that they were diluting and tarnishing their name by slapping the Cisco logo on such utter crap?

Cisco is to the consumer market what Oracle is to Java.
I was always confused with where Linksys belonged under Cisco. The not quite SOHO, not quite SME limbo was reflected on some of their decisions. Well, this just proves Cisco has no idea what to do with the general consumer market (E.G. The Flip).
If computers were people, I'd be a misanthrope.
Since the linksys branding to Cisco, is there a cheat sheet explaining which VoIP products are linksys and which are Cisco?
I think I speak for many who have worked with 'Belkin' equipment when I say...
"Fuck."
#fuckbeta #iamslashdot #dicemustdie
This is definitley a net improvement in quality for both Cisco and Belkin.
Everybody wins!
Linksys has always been, and will always be, a POS. Moving to Cisco made it even worse. Belkin wasn't any better, but at least they were cheaper. For my money, I prefer the Netgear home switch products. As my Linksys garbage fails, I replace with Netgear, and my problems disappear.
So far i haven't seen 'consumer class' networking hardware that was worth a damn.
Indeed. Belkin has been on my "do not buy" list ever since the spam router fiasco. Then again, I guess it's fitting, after Linksys' Cloud Connect WTF.
On the other hand, anything that won't run DD-WRT, Tomato, or OpenWRT is on my "do not buy" list anyway...
Oh, no! You have walked into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue!
I could not be happier that Cisco dumped linksys. It ruined the professional work place. Every want to be engineer now puts Cisco on their resume and states that they are network engineers. Ask them how to access a switch our router and they will tell you through the web gui. Good Bye Linksys.. Soon Belkin will drive the name and the company so far into the ground no one will remember them.
what about the CiscoPad iPad-killer tablet that they were gonna sell? Was it not a success?
Cisco sells Linksys
Yay!
...to Belkin

I've had 1 of their wired units since the day they came out, BEFSX41 & it absolutely rocks! It's a true stateful packet inspecting router & NAT firewalling device that actually works (& has a lot of nifty features I've seen that higher-end routers, yes, including CISCO IOS based ones, have too!) - especially once setup in "bridged" mode.
* Still, I'd like to hear your reasoning, if not actual documented PROOFS (vs. the model I have & noted above especially of course, since I own & utilize it), that back your statement...

P.S.=> I am truly just curious on WHY you'd call their routers crap is all - perhaps you know something I don't? It's possible, & I'm willing to listen + perhaps MAYBE even learn a thing or two... thanks for your time & reply!

>'This should be a relatively smooth transition that won't affect current customers"
Every time some corporate droid has told me this regarding a {buyout, merger, acquisition, sale, re-org} a major cockup has followed. The only thing worse is when they use the phrase, "transparent to the end user," and you know the apocalypse is coming next week.
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
I've never had anything from them that worked as it should. Ever. I keep occasionally buying the odd thing - and I think, 'this has to work, they can't all be bad' - and its the same.
The worst gear and brand in my list of bad gear. I may be unlucky, but the stuff is junk, utter junk in my use thus far.
Ever wonder why some companies seem to constantly be involved in acquisitions and dispositions, esp. companies whose organic growth has slowed to zero? It's because acquisitions/dispositions are a great way to create cookie jar charge-offs to hide underperformance of a company's core business. Now you see it, now you don't.
Wasn't it inksys that bought cisco awhile ago? and now the hybrid is selling linksys?
either I was confused, or I am confused. Or maybe a bit of both.
I work for the Department of Redundancy Department.
What about Cisco and Juniper. Cisco just dumped Linksys, but they still make routers. Juniper makes routers, too!
Also, don't forget about so many routers that can be "upgraded" by installing dd-WRT.
Amen! Good riddance, indeed!
No good consumer router on the market? Are you MAD?

Oh, and you're welcome.
Well there goes quality. Anything left?
Don't be apathetic. Procrastinate!
I exited the cisco market about a year ago. I use mikrotik almost exclusively now. Sure they aren't high end enterprise for the most part, but for what I do they offer a hundred times the functionality for 10% of the cost.
I have this rock here that keeps lions away....
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
I have been using Mikrotik routers for the last few years.
MikroTik has very reasonable offerings and very good, highly customizable software with amazing support.
I have nothing to do with them, I just love my routerboards!

> "Belkin says it plans to maintain the Linksys brand and will offer support for Linksys products as part of the transaction,"
Belkin says it really sucks to have to maintain the Linksys brand and offer support for Linksys products, but the law requires this at least for the guarantee period, so they will have to comply. What happens afterward is, as always, not a topic for a spokeperson. That would be something worth saying, and it's against the rules of a spokeperson, who never say anything useful or that we don't know already."
I guess this is finally the end of the Cisco "pac-man" strategy of buying up small innovative competitors and slapping a blue logo on instead of inventing and integrating new products themselves.
Netgear++
In an attempt to save some money for my business I bought several WAP4410N's in my office to provide wireless networking. They worked great, the setup was easy, they had good range and nice functionality, they were even quite cheap.
So, based on my good experiences with the AP's, I decided to use them in one of our other offices. I bought three of them and configured them like the first ones I bought. None of them worked..... They crashed at random (but at least a couple of times each day), multiple SSID's did work, RADIUS failed. After some research I realized that the sticker underneath the AP's said "V2", the first ones I bought said "V1". It turns out that Cisco had done "something" to the hardware and called it version 2.
Contacting Cisco was meaningless, the only answer I got was "Yes, we know it does not work, you should have bought something more expensive from us". Hopefully Belkin has a bit more respect for its customers.
...they get other companies to make it and slap the Belkin name on it.
Therefore anything you buy from them has the potential to be anywhere from crap to first-rate, with a price tag of from anywhere to kind of expensive to really expensive.
So I only buy their stuff used or off of closeout tables.
I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.

P.S.=> For a "consumer-grade" router? It's got an excellent feature-set...

Their "small business" product lines can be very poor, too.
We kitted out a small office with Cisco equipment not long ago. Our expectation was that with Cisco behind it and paying professional-level prices we'd get something with professional-level reliability and support, a cut above the consumer-level junk where just about everyone's devices seem to have poor reliability and/or limited functionality.
The reality is that some of the Cisco equipment just didn't work properly. Firmware updates for some of the devices took a long time to arrive, or in some cases never appeared at all. Some of the products got EOL'd or sold off within a year or two, and it seems like a significant number of "Cisco" products are actually just rebadged products from another vendor with nerfed firmware anyway, even at this level.
Also, as a small business guy doing all the IT, I wouldn't even know who at Cisco to contact for support or how to reach them. We theoretically have an N year warranty, but there's basically no information included with the products about how to take advantage of it, and the Cisco web site is hopeless. All I need is a phone number I can call with the type of product and serial number to get some advice or report a problem, preferably within one click of the home page, but that appears to be beyond their ability. Of course, you can open a support case on-line if you have an expensive service contract, but we don't, and since numerous people have reported similar problems to ours and they never seem to get fixed, it's not clear that such a contract is worth anything anyway.
We now buy mostly consumer kit again, because it seems that even if you pay a premium for Cisco small business kit, what you get is actually as bad or worse as consumer tat. We've found isolated really good products from other suppliers, but they tend to be in niche markets rather than across-the-board kind of product ranges. For example, DrayTek seem to make very good ADSL routers and related devices at this kind of level. If they offered a wider product range of the same quality with basic small office level switches, wireless receivers/range extenders, and so on, we'd switch over in a heartbeat, but sadly they don't.
I am very keen to hear of positive experiences with other pro-grade equipment on a small business or serious SOHO kind of level from different vendors. When we were looking before, there didn't appear to be too many suppliers competing in that market, which was surprising and might have changed more recently.
If you disagree, post your argument. (-1, Overrated) isn't your personal censorship tool for views you don't like.
I bought my mother-in-law a $80 Belkin for Christmas and it needs resets every couple of weeks.
This has been my roughly my experience with Belkin equipment. It always seems to be a little bit unreliable. I realize my experience is entirely anecdotal but I've bought probably a dozen various bits of Belkin gear (usb hubs, switches, charging gear, etc) over the years and I've had small but irritating problems with most of them. A few simply didn't work at all. It's one of those things where I just don't trust their brand anymore even if they actually might have a good product.
belkin routers won't SUCK anymore....
would love to see a wrt54gl updated to current standards. if belkin execs had any brains, that's exactly what they'd do. i don't think cisco realized what they had with this.
Sigh....WTF
It was a matter of time I guess. Slapping a badge "by Cisco" implied Linksys was quality (when not) and no doubt was cutting into Cisco SME sales.
I wonder what will happen with the VoIP (Ex-Sipura) SPA series devices. Will Cisco keep these or will they go with Linksys.
You are obviously too small of a business for Cisco. I find their 10 port managed switches to be excellent for small network segments. They have auto PoE detection on each port as well as full VLAN support. Sure, they're about $400 each, but they work flawlessly. We also use their 24 port GigE managed switches (about $800) and their ASA's for VPN (about $5000). If you can't afford a proper managed switch, it's going to suck no matter who you get it from.
I think I know why they're selling. It's the cost of maintaining that huge worldwide network of free, open wireless access points under the "Linksys" SSID...

Want to speed things up a bunch?
1. Run a speed test.
2. Turn off all QoS.
3. Run another speed test.
4. Enjoy the massive performance boost I just gave you.
You are obviously too small of a business for Cisco.
Don't be absurd. You can't possibly determine that from just the information I posted, and somehow I doubt you speak for Cisco or know anything the rest of us don't about their intended market segmentation anyway.
Regardless, we're a small business, using functionality that is beyond most consumer-level equipment, but we're not running offices spanning entire large buildings or multiple sites. Cisco has an entire product range branded "small business", and a bunch of devices with specs on a similar level even if they're not explicitly branded that way. If their products worked, they would meet our needs just fine.
We do have a "proper managed switch". In fact, it's the one Cisco "small business" level device we've bought that actually works properly. Shame about the wireless, NAS, etc.
If you disagree, post your argument. (-1, Overrated) isn't your personal censorship tool for views you don't like.

Don't forget D-Link. They have some products that are brutal but they also have many that are great. Like most products, when they first come out with firmware version 1.0, they aren't any good until a version or 2.
My opinion may be bias on this one since I worked for the company for a little while. On the other hand, I own D-Link, Linksys and Buffalo hardware and find them all to be the same level of quality (end user quality)
It's funny.... I was sitting here thinking about the Cisco Small Business switches (SG-300 series) I have running flawlessly in my slightly bigger than small business (~300 ports). I was even able to get them to VLAN and Port Channel with a Nexus switch.
However, I've never tried to use any of their other equipment (My phone system is an actual phone system, my wifi is from Aruba and my NAS is from NetApp).
Life has many choices. Eternity has two. What's yours?
Who did you buy your gear from? I dunno if Cisco sells direct but we always get our stuff through CDW and they're more than happy to get us pointed to the right people for support on the products we buy through them.
You must mean the Belkin who in 2003 sold a router that hijacked every 50,000th HTTP outbound request and replaced it with a request to a a advertizing server that served up an advertizement for some other Belkin product. That Belkin?
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/03/11/07/1740205/belkin-routers-route-users-to-censorware-ad
Then there is the Belkin who in 2009 got caught forging positive reviews of Belkin products on Amazon. When caught they pleaded guilty and promised to never do it again. According to my notes in the **Eternal Boycott File**, Belkin did the same thing within a few weeks. That Belkin?
http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/belkin-pleas-for-mercy-over-paid-amazon-reviews-deception/
You can bet that I'll never buy a Belkin router or any other Belkin product.
Yes, I have a an **Eternal Boycott File**. There are many well known companies named in that file along with their bad business practices, ethical lapses, and downright sociopathic behavior with whom I well never, ever knowingly buy anything (ANYTHING) from. Did I mention that Eternal means For flipping-ever? -- Sony, you asshats are at the very top of the list. I have a long memory about your rootkits on audio cds.

I have no modpoints so I thought I'd write you a genuine response to your question. For the record, I seldom moderate your posts.
You have had it repeatedly explained to you that your posts are long-winded, unpleasant to read due to your absurd formatting style and full of technical inaccuracies borne of your single minded i-have-a-hammer-so-every-problem-is-a-nail attitude.
Despite this advice you are convinced that your comments are valuable contributions, ignoring the obvious evidence to the contrary (namely the -1 scores your posts earn on a regular basis).
I posit that /. readers do not actively dislike you so much as find what you post tiresome and not worth the effort to read or respond to. Posting as anonymous so I can't see your response without monitoring the thread doesn't help your case either.

Now, what was that YOU SAID about "hypocrisy", idiot?
You're the insane one, clearly!
You are an idiot & a dolt as I called you - and now?
YOU'RE ALSO A HYPOCRITE: I only call you what YOU MERIT (see p.s. below & the link in it showing your 'opinion' easily blown away by your /. peers), & since you like calling others names??
When in Rome, I do as the romans do, and speak to them in a language they only seem to understand... lol!

Addtionally & lastly, again:
You can *try* to play "SiDeWaLk-ShRiNk of /." all you like - you don't have what it takes to call others all the mental conditions you did, legally! Especially since you don't have what it takes to do so, in these enumerated items:
---
1.) a PhD in the psychiatric sciences
2.) A formal psychiatric examination of myself given in a professional psychiatric environs
3.) A license to practice

Thus, in doing so?

You keep ignoring the substance of my posts and respond with the same faulty logic. Do you really need to further prove that you are incapable of coherent argument? I think you've made that point by now.
In failing to respond and continuing to claim your irrelevant rantings as 'blowing me away' whilst ignoring my points and shying away from my questions, you confirm your lack of ability to meaningfully engage in discussion.
In particular, you have no response to my arguments regarding your repeated use of the 244:1 list you have so painstakingly constructed. Furthermore, you then hold this silliness up as some sort of victory, further evidence of your mental incompetence.
Oh, and by the way, what's the deal with your account/AC status?

How can you claim to have won the argument if you can't provide an intelligent answer to even the simplest of questions posed? If you're so assured of yourself and your towering victory over me, why are you unable to address my question regarding your little list and your inability to understand the concept of confirmation bias? All you've done is evade the question, spitting out screeds of unrelated rubbish as incontrovertible evidence of your success. WTF?
When you can come up with a coherent rebuttal to my arguments I will take your posts seriously. Until then, you are only trumpeting your ignorance.

Thank you, I applaud you for stepping up.
I agree that were someone arguing "245 people are wrong despite your evidence and I'm right," would probably piss me off too. However, in honesty, I'm not arguing that at all. I completely agree that (at least) 245 times in the past, one or more people have found your post to be worth moderating up. I'd wager there are actually even more than that. You'll note that nowhere have I called you stupid throughout our little discussion.
My point is that when the argument between us boils down to my assertion that (I summarise) your posts are long-winded and unpleasant to read, you cannot hold up the 245-people list on its own as evidence to the contrary. It's valid, but it tells only half the story and by failing to back it up it effectively becomes a lie by omission. I purport that to accept such a list at face value as fact - as you ask me to do - would be to legitimise a faulty confirmation bias
For your argument to hold water, you would need to show:
Such a thing would be nicely handled by /.'s karma system, were you to create an account and log in. This would automatically provide instant recognition of the contribution your posts make to /. and I believe you know it only too well. I suspect you post AC because any account you create would be driven into negative karma fairly quickly. As you know, the /. moderation mechanism helps the keep noise out of the system. Slashdot posters have consistently moderated your posts as noise, so I make the argument that on-balance, your contributions to /. are of no value.
Don't take my word for it, go follow each of your links and have a look at some of the comments following your post. They speak far louder about the way you are perceived by Slashdot than a shortlist of occasional up-moderations of posts spanning a period of eight years for goodness sake! Here's an example:

If apk's posts = bad then why are 245 or so up modded? For your so called argument to hold up you need > 245 downmods of apk's posts. You don't have that. You lose, you fail. Accept it. You've made this mistake 3 times before and couldn't disprove apk's points on hosts files benefits to users either http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42721345 and resorted to name calling (which you called apk a hypocrite for which makes you the hypocrite projecting your own faults onto others) and then you libeled him calling him insane and the like. Clearly "making the same mistakes over and over and expecting different results" as 1 definition of insanity fits you, making you a hypocrite again. You are not a psychiatric professional, you have no license to practice it and you have no formal examination of apk's mental state to libel him that way. There's laws against libel and yet you clearly dismiss them cavalierly, again showing you are not considering the possible consequences of your actions, again making you clearly insane.

It irritates me that the TrueCrypt Forums don't allow free email addresses. It ends up being a method to lock out average users from asking for help, as several of my friends have told me. From my perspective, it makes the project look like it's run by a bunch of assholes.
I once took an excursion to Reddit, and later HN. Unlimited up/down voting sucks when dealing with a hive-mind.
This all stems from your inability to DISPROVE my points on custom hosts files, listed in summation in the link below to my program for them!
(Custom hosts files benefit users on many levels in added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity to an extent),
So, that all said & aside - Disprove the list of points of benefits that custom hosts files can give end users of them, shown here::

APK Hosts File Engine 5.0++ 32/64-bit:

* Yes - It is going to be a PLEASURE watching you "dance" & fail yet again on this note!
(By you having to "eat your words" flavored with the "bitter taste of SELF-DEFEAT" spiced with your foot in your mouth yet again, by making a fool of your trolling self, yet again by failing to disprove those points listed in the link just above!)

That, along with the FACT your "opinion" of my posts being lousy is outmatched by nearly 250 of your /. peers' counter opinions -> http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42701491
Which you can't produce more than those of downmods of my posts?

YOU FAIL!
(You know it, I know it, & anyone with 1/2 a brain knows it... lol!)
Ah.... lmao, I might as well laugh & watch you repeat your mistakes again & you called ME 'insane'? 1 definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes over & over expecting different results... your results are shown below!

P.S.=> After all - you've FAILED in it 5x before as shown next:

AND, what did you do?
You had a profanity spewing 'fit' rather than disprove my technical points on hosts files' benefits to end users of them:

Others are impressed Sardaukar86. It's slashdotters opinions there http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42701491 not his. You're clearly dumb or illiterate as well as outnumbered by huge margins by your peers on this website.
Really? Prove it. You are the one who cannot understand a simple argument. You have failed again to even attempt to address my comments or rebut my points. You have predictably responded with more ad hominen and absolutely nothing new. Obviously your sickness is completely in charge of you.
Furthermore, amusingly, you've also made a bunch of very clumsy anonymous coward posts to support your own opinion, childishly trying to make it look like you have some support and exactly that which you accuse me of doing. You really take the cake for hypocrisy my very young friend. Face it, APK, you can't take the heat, so you need to get out of the kitchen. You just don't measure up, not even to the very low standards of Slashdot, O duke of the frequent downmod. You are indeed very ill. Your screeds of rant are are worthless use of electrons and as devoid of rational thought as everything else you post.
You just aren't up to the task of intelligent debate, I pity you. No amount of ranting by way of response will change anything, you have lost this battle. You lose, APK, and the best bit is that you seem genuinely unaware of your own handicaps. The only achievement you have managed is to be even more vilified than our old companion twitter. Congratulations! You lose!

Proof enough, slashdot posters put you away easily http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42701491 and I'm not apk, but he surely knocked you for a loop. Get over your obsession with him. You've messed up on that very thing in that link from what I've seen here 3 or more times in more than a year and still you failed, lmao.
..you away easily http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42701491 and I'm not apk,
Yes, you are.

Gosh, you're so clever and devious, posting without signing off, APK. We'll never figure out who said these things!
..Mullah or Pope, Preacher or Poet, who was it wrote: "Give any one species too much rope and they'll fuck it up"?
You need to take your meds for your paranoia. He left long ago after burning you so many times (242++:1 in fact here http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42701491 and from what I've seen so far many times on that before in the past year in addition to hosts files too ) that it's not even funny anymore to see you flail against your fail. I am just laughing at you like anyone else reading would be. You're ridiculously easy to get the better of.
You're not clever, that's certain. Not after a 242++:1 ratio vs. your trolling http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42701491 I definitely saw who posted what and you said what you said and apk ate you alive (or rather your peers opinions of his posts by upwards modding apk did). You fail. From what I've seen, not a first from you either. You repeated your mistake on that 3 or 4 times and more on hosts files against apk. Are you addicted to failing against apk in your obsessive stalking of him?
Hmm, I wonder who this could be, an AC supporting APK's argument by 1] repeating the APK-fail-list again and 2] flinging poo?
What a challenge for my poor old brain to work out!
(actually it feels a bit like I'm having a kicking contest with a wheelchair cripple.. not very sporting, which isn't really my nature, but oh well)
..Mullah or Pope, Preacher or Poet, who was it wrote: "Give any one species too much rope and they'll fuck it up"?
Ooh look, a pattern! Allow me to enumerate:
First: an AC supporting APK in the same writing style, check
You're not clever, that's certain.
Ad hominem. Roughly translates as "I'm out of my depth, my argument is little more than toilet paper", check. Hmm, I bet we've got the list coming soon, right?
Not after a 242++:1 ratio vs. your trolling http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42701491
Ah yes, there we go. Now, for extra lulz, try explaining how this list on its own proves you to be a worthwhile contribution to Slashdot, Mr. can-only-post-AC APK troll. Are you ever going to get it that a paltry list of barely-worthwhile contributions does not automatically make you a worthwhile contributor? Over two-thirds of your list are also-rans and of little value - face it, most of what you say doesn't even make it over the background noise!
I definitely saw who posted what and you said what you said and apk ate you alive (or rather your peers opinions of his posts by upwards modding apk did).
Yup, there's the hyperbolic claim of victory, or at least the first one. We must, surely by now, be in for a little more..
You fail. From what I've seen, not a first from you either. You repeated your mistake on that 3 or 4 times and more on hosts files against apk. Are you addicted to failing against apk in your obsessive stalking of him?
...delusional and paranoid thinking, yep, there we go. Allow me to respond.
Did I take issue with APK's laughable hosts file cure-all blatherings? Why yes, I probably did. I honestly can't remember, however I rather imagine it is much more likely to be your puerile whining about your (completely justified) modding down that really caught my attention. Why is that a hard concept for you to grasp?
How can you claim that I am stalking you? I simply replied to your pathetic, snivelling little post demanding an explanation for your well-earned downmoderation. More clear evidence for your mental instability: seeing patterns that aren't really there, such as your host file claim about me. More still: childish egocentricity coupled with paranoia, seeing someone answering their own question as an exercise in stalking.
I wonder where obvious and goofy attempts to come off as other people in support of your argument fits in here as a valid arguing technique. Hmm, let me think, yeah, that's a sane and reasonable thing to do... right?
As an aside, I am horrified to have just learned that you are nearly fifty years of age, according to one of your posts. I'm sorry to break into ad hominem here (I was doing so well after all, I'm sure you'll agree) but I find it absolutely stunning that a person of your age is still reasoning and speaking as would a thirteen or fourteen year old child. You sir are a very small and very feeble Mind. I am flabbergasted at the juxtaposition of your utter incompetence alongside your pompous self-importance and boastful, grandiose self-admiration. If I were cursed with your level of reasoning skills I wouldn't be so damn impressed with myself and I sure as hell wouldn't be airing my handicap in public as you do.

I see a pattern of your fails against apk http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42721345 now there's a pattern along the lines of the Dunning Krueger effect which you exemplify. Seek professional psychiatric help which you seem to rely on based on your constantly projecting you do by your trollish use of it. You have nothing to admire since apk confronted you on that also. You're a forums troll ne'er do well as he called you rightfully. If anybody is paranoid here it's you since you think everyone is apk. He is long gone after letting you burn yourself with your own words hilariously here http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3406867&cid=42701491
