    Indeed...I still have version 2.95. Was the last best version they had, IMO.

    The CCNA exam was like this when they first changed it back in October of 2013. It USED to be heavy on, CLI commands, network knowledge, etc. Now it's heavy on troubleshooting and essential to have a lab at home for break/fix.

    My son is such a nerd he went as an improper fraction for Halloween. He's 10.

    I am talking about the system functionality. What the hell requires sound or serious graphics on a daily basis in Linux? nothing that I have used yet. Of course, an admin only needs command line ;)

  5. how pretty on More Eye Candy Coming To Windows 10 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I couldn't care less about how pretty it looks...I want it to WORK PROPERLY.
    Linux back in the day looked like hell, but it worked.

  6. Re:Key question on Oracle Database Certifications Are No Longer Permanent · · Score: 1

    Maybe.
    I work in a Cisco environment, but have no CCNA. They don't give a damn if I have a CCNA. They asked if I can troubleshoot and come to a resolution in reasonable time.
    Been doing it 7yrs now.

    I believe the 16 stood for the MHz, not the RAM size. 16 and 33 were common MHz speeds for the 386.

    Nice to know you are dating all the 'bitches' because that leaves all the nice ones for me. Go dutch dumbass. Ask up front and they are usually shill about it. Even at the end of a lunch/dinner I've had most women ask the waiter/waitress for separate checks as if they thought I was going to pay in the first place. As the other responder said, you'd probably find nicer girls if you acted like a better person.

    Apparently you don't know what happened in the Arabic world back in the 1100s. They were amazing with math and science. Leaders of the world in that matter. Then came a long Al Ghazali and turned all of that on its head. Now look at the Arabic world. Still looks like they live in the 12th century.

  11. Re:How fitting on Study: People Would Rather Be Shocked Than Be Alone With Their Thoughts · · Score: 1

    I'll add to this since I am an introvert, but I also have Claustrophobia and Anthropophobia on a more mild level. It doesn't keep me locked up in a house like Agoraphobia.
    A) I do need money so I have a job where I go into an office and play around on networks all day and have very little interaction with my coworkers face to face. We use MS Lync, mostly, to communicate. Its use makes it VERY easy for me to talk to people.
    B) Who needs a mate? opposite sex is nothing, but a problem. However, I've realized that I am more of the problem in a relationship so I stay away rather than get my heart ripped out every couple years.
    C) If I need to go to the store to shop for food then I usually work up the courage and go late at night when the crowds are minimal OR I go with one of my roommates and they pretty much act as a 'handler' or distraction to everything else that is going on. That way the crowds of people at the store aren't so bad. For clothing and most everything else I need I can buy online and have delivered right to my door.

    Also I'd like to know what survey you did that paid you 50$. The last time I took a survey was about a decade ago and they were only going to pay me 3$. I asked for 5$ so I could actually buy lunch and they walked away. Cheap bastards! Last time I remember getting 50$ for other than an hour worth of work was when I donated plasma. Twice a week and get 30$ for the first visit and 20$ for the second visit.

  12. Limited protection. But the 2 things you should ALWAYS carry on you are a hatchet(or knife) and a lighter. If you get lost out in the wilderness those two things can be rather helpful.

    Anytime I have issues streaming with Netflix I just throw on my VPN(from private internet access) and problem solved. IF Verizon wants proof, I have it right here.

    I should have stated video gaming with consoles. I thought it was quite obvious by typing with both thumbs, but I guess there's always one clueless chap in the crowd.

    "people type fast-and-furiously on smartphones and tablets, so you know it can be done, but how exactly do these one- and two-fingered wonders (YouTube video) manage to do so?"

    Exactly. So smashing them down to anything smaller than 10GB will lose SOME quality.

    No cap at all. You're aware that you can compress them down to less than 5GB without losing much quality? If not, I see large pointless purchasing of 4TB HDDs in your future.

  20. Re:About friggin time. on Netflix Ditches Silverlight For HTML5 On Macs · · Score: 1

    Then you have a shitty computer, slow connection or user error. I've been using it on 10.6 for over 2 yrs on my MBP. I usually watch a movie before bed while in bed, so maybe a good 2-3 movies a week on it and I've never experienced what you speak of.

    Why the hell would anyone want to copy a stream from them anyway? Even on HD it still looks DVD quality at best. IF I am going to copy or download a movie I am going for highest quality possible.

    There is a manager at work that I interact with on a semi regular basis and he can slightly pronounce the "L" it sounds like a "Y" almost. So, Lee would sound something like Yee. Maybe a different dialect or something.
