When I advised him for the 5th time that while he had a router, he would ALSO need some form of computer to get internet pages, he demanded to speak to my supervisor.
Oh, so you were that person I spoke to!
I tell you, my trusty LA30 is able to handle anything I throw at it. Why would I need a computer for?? Clearly you don't know what you're talking. I demand to speak to your supervisor!
On first reading, I'd read your opening sentence as:
... living in a country of a voluptuous FOUR million...
In Singapore, some retail stores are selling apparently-genuine iPads at a substantial markup. They come in a white box not much bigger than the device. I guess somebody flew to US and bought some back.
Whenever I see someone playing with his iPad, I will tell myself, "iPad, so what? Show off!", while suppressing my real feelings: extreme envy and jealousy.
That sounds exceptionally optimistic. Are you working in an R&D organization with exceptionally tolerant bosses? Does your boss sees only the "end result" that your entire team produces? Do you produce exceptionally good work? Have you been working there for many years?
I can see that your method will work, but I think it takes a hell lot of bravado, and it will work only in certain organizations with certain types of people. I can visualize practically everybody wanting to transfer to your team and work under you.
Bah, you and your fancy "landing at your intended destination".
In *my* day, we would board a half-built, rickety, wooden plane which engines conk up every 20 minutes, and someone would climb up to fix it. Landing is usually crashing in some farm in the middle of nowhere (sometimes right into the animal fertilizer area). And we were grateful for the opportunity!
That's what I thought too. Until I bought an Asus RT-N10 and till today, no wireless. It's basically a cheapskate home router, with the words "Open Source" on the packaging.
The Asus RT-N10 is listed in 3 different places as dd-wrt compatible.
Perhaps even so portable, it can fit in your pocket! They could call it the iPad Nano! REVOLUTIONARY!
You've just gave me an idea.
I suspect they not only already thought of it, but actually are timing the release such that the demand will be high when they release it.
(Releasing today's big form factor, will create desire in people who will wants an iPad but finds it too big. Thus creating a new market of people who wants and are willing to pay for a medium form factor.)
When operating an automobile, you should be paying attention to:
The girls walking beside the road.
Especially the 22 year olds wearing sexy form-fitting blouses and hot curvy pants. Or preferably lacy négligée-like blouses with spaghetti straps, and non-denim shorts that really emphasize their curves and bring attention to their perfectly-shaped legs...

I always though geeks were into cooking?
Obviously, sir, you watch too much television, of the variety "geek becomes highly desirable - once the girl gets to know the guy".
which is stricken not only by poverty but also AIDS ... a good 20% of their population is AIDs positive.
Well said. Considering the widespread belief that raping a virgin girl will cure a man of AIDS, I believe we have more basic issues to resolve.
... I have never had a problem sleeping anywhere or any time.
Lazy pig!
... it's essentially just a 256MB DDR SDRAM.
Please tell me you're joking ... US$1330 for this? Will Cisco routers take standard ECC SDRAMs instead?

This is particularly evident with respect to encryption and searching.
Woot! Now everybody can run a micro-Google on their desktops!
Complete with 4,294,967,296-bit SSL encryption!
Of course, the amount of useful data in the desktop still limits the search results ...

I can't wait to see this shit posted again (and modded up) in a few months!
Now, now, let's not get jealous over the mod points. Especially the Funny mods.
Dup post! You've already posted this a mere 428 days ago!

IME a floppy is much likely to be readable in any floppy drive than a CD/DVD in a random CD/DVD drive, too.
Interestingly, I found that my Sony-branded CD-ROM drive (CDU 522x series) is especially good for data recovery from unreadable CD-R discs.
I've verified the data integrity by copying a ZIP file. It works.
For me, I also usually have trouble with bad sectors on 5.25" and 3.5" floppies.
Sector 001 is especially important. Make sure it's clear of debris.
Darn, egg on my face! Thanks for your reply. :)

-enough ram for pretty much anything
Can I run BGP routing on it?

That's what I thought too. Until I bought an Asus RT-N10 and till today, no wireless. It's basically a cheapskate home router, with the words "Open Source" on the packaging.
The Asus RT-N10 is listed in 3 different places as dd-wrt compatible.
Ergo, this router is fully compatible, until you buy one. Then you find out:
Therefore, do not just rely on the dd-wrt list. Cross-check with the OpenWRT list too.
... preserving a domestic supply to reduce our vulnerability to ... foreign porn suppliers.
But what if the consumers prefer Japanese exports?
I have no trust at all after things like WaterGate...
That's nothing. *I* have no trust at all after things like the Conway Cabal (happened in the year 1777).

... for hooking up to the borrowed LaserJet 4L.
First introduced in May 1993. Still in use today.
I think it's great engineering - and a clever decision to design wear-and-tear components as replaceable parts.
Be careful when transporting it, okay!
I think some geeks still use parallel ports nowadays - to access their home routers via the JTAG interface.
I bow down in respect of these knowledgeable geeks.
Perhaps even so portable, it can fit in your pocket! They could call it the iPad Nano! REVOLUTIONARY!

By "TV" he must have meant monitor, and "DVD player" must be referring to a CD-ROM drive.
Nobody has two TVs and two DVD players!
