Yep, I was thinking the same thing. The 6513 is a nice box. The SUP 720 is a pretty ridiculous board and expensive of course. Also, at present time I believe you can only run IOS on the SUP, which may be a consideration. I hate IOS for switching but using it is worth it if you have a SUP 720.
Latest Issue of the Linux Journal Has Something Si

Google's Math Puzzle

The latest issue I got of Linux Journal has in the middle of it a "Google Labs Aptitude Test" (I think that's what it was called). Has a bunch of IQ type problems and even just some random questions such as "What is your favorite equation?" It's pretty cool, and it comes with an envelope. If they like your answers they say they'll contact you. I'm not sure if this is in the news stand edition of LJ, I'm a subscriber.
Yea, there are plenty of places around me that have it on tap, unfortunately my body has not completed enough rotations around the Sun to be allowed to visit such places. Silly if you think about it, I (being under 21) can legally purchase all the things to make beer, yet at some instant in time, what's in the fermenter becomes illegal for me to possess. Yet plenty of people I know over 21 still like to drink obscene amounts of piss beer. It really bothers me when I see that.
Yea, I've had the sampler before, without the wheat in it, which is why I bought a whole six of the wheat. If I had to choose between the Saranac and the Harpoon for a wheat, I would definitely go for the Saranac.
Can't wait til I get around to building my kegerator, though. Homebrew on tap is going to be the end of my college career. However, I think a few pints will allow me to approach engineering problems from a new "angle."
I've recently been on a wheat beer kick. I can vouch for Franziskaner, it's quite good. Tonight I had a bottle of Saranac's Belgian White, which while drinkable, was not very pronounced in flavor. One of my American brewed favorites is Harpoon's Unfiltered Offering. Also, I had Brooklyner Weisse on tap in Brooklyn this past weekend and it was very flavorful.
On another note, spending a week in Mexico, I became addicted to Negra Modelo--WITHOUT a lime. I find it quite refreshing and enjoyable as a "have a couple" beer.
I definitely agree water has a bearing on the quality of the beer, but there's no reason you can't brew 100 different kinds of beer from the same water.
Man, let me know who your TAC engineers are. Generally I get ones who don't know any other words than "upgrade IOS." That said, the higher level ones that work with you on a more personal basis are pretty good, even if they rejected my claim that a certain incident was a new bug and then came out with an advisory on August 27, 2004, three weeks after telling us it wasn't a serious problem. Disgruntled? No, not me.
The Club is a joke. Steering wheels are made soft on purpose. You can cut the steering wheel and slide The Club off very easily. When it's dark out and no one's around, it's going to draw no more attention than breaking into the car in the first place.
If you think product x did suck, it's because YOU don't know how to use it. Cause product x does NOT suck. YOU suck. Got it?
I think a lot of products suck, and I have no problem criticizing them when they do. For example, dselect sucks and everyone who uses Debian knows it. That doesn't mean Debian sucks. Few people I know who have taken the time to properly learn how to administer Debian find it difficult to maintain or have other large gripes about it.
As for the personal attacks, I do just fine interacting with management, thank you. Oh, and every MCSE I've met has furthered my opinion that it's no more a job qualification than "played with legos as a kid" is for an architect. That is, it's nice to have, but doesn't stand for anything on its own.
Having extremely high uptimes is not always something to be proud of.
Um, tell that to those who run mainframes running on code written decades ago. In the cases where I have high uptime, it's meant to be that way. And thanks for the FUD too: I rather use FreeBSD which has that stability, without walking onto the path of becoming a dinosaur.
Upgrades are unpredictable because the lines between stable, testing, and bleeding edge versions are constantly blurred.
Erm... no? Don't have the wrong sources in/etc/apt/sources.list and nothing will get broken. Run stable on servers and you won't have issues. Don't run dselect, it's unnecessary. Don't criticize Debian for your failure to administer it properly.
Pop quiz: What do the numbers 480, 311, 179 have in common? The uptime of some of my *remotely administered* Debian installs that run critical services. Oh, and the only reason those numbers aren't higher is because of either scheduled downtimes for hardware installation (the first two) or because that's how long ago since I first pressed "power" on the box (the third). Managing servers isn't even my full time job and I somehow manage to use Debian without a hitch.
I just purchased $4000 worth of personal property insurance from these guys. They're endorsed by a fair amount of large universities. My policy is one year long and was a $75 premium and has a $50 deductible.
Sounds like a sore bottomed, out of work VB programmer!
Wow, you couldn't be any further from the truth. I make good money doing enterprise networking, with Cisco equipment, specifically. When I code, I code as a means to an end, to fix a problem. Computers are merely a tool for me. As such, I'll use whatever language I deem fit.
Right now, Java is everywhere in critical LoB applications [...]
Yes, but do you realize how long it took to get decent acceptance? Java has been a joke for most of its existance and frankly I still consider it to be laughable. How long has it been around and how much does JVM performance still suck? Try running a complex Struts application on anything less than 512MB of RAM. I believe the introduction of Java unto the computing world to be the single worst event in language history. I'd rather Java up and disappear than Microsoft. At least some good ideas come out of Redmond.
I don't know, maybe for the same reason I don't use a speaker as a microphone. Sure, it can be done, but why would I want to do it when there are more specialized tools?
Got home from work today and found a letter from "Northface" in the mailbox. It says on the front "You're serious about software. So are we." That's funny, I thought I was a network guy and Mechanical Engineering student... hmmm.
Seriously, that is a stupid mistake on Gentoo's part. The least they could have done is #!/bin/bash instead of calling a might be, might not be, symlink.
they are creating proprietary devices which will only work with their licensed media. [...] sony is doing this, apple has done this, and there is one other who's name escapes me."
But here's where it becomes not so cut and dry. The iPod will play MP3s VERY VERY HAPPILY. In fact, I haven't a single AAC on mine. If Real just sold MP3s, this wouldn't be a problem.
Once again, you're stating things that JUST AREN'T TRUE.
I mean, sure, you can get your packages through apt just fine but you have to make sure you find and add the right apt sources for your particular version of your particular libraries and other support software.
No you don't. It just works. Fortunately, some of the people I know who use Gentoo are sick of compile times (on fast boxes) and of stuff constantly breaking and are switching to Debian.
Internet2 don't fail me now! That's ok, as soon as it's un-Slashdotted I'll happily download all of the high resolution images at multi-megabyte per second speeds...
Meaning, I can't always be re-installing them or upgrading them to the latest version of Fedora, or Mandrake, or Debian
Are you trolling? Gentoo takes forever to update. I can't speak for Fedora or Mandrake, but updating Debian is the easiest thing in the world. sudo apt-get -u update; sudo apt-get -u upgrade. What's so tough about that?

Yea, I just checked our stockroom. We're using Corebuilders as doorstops... literally. Then again, we use Cisco 5000s as doorstops too.

iTunes doesn't make a profit. They don't intend it to make a profit. This has been made clear by Apple themselves.

Nowhere does it say that greed cannot have beneficial side effects.
Chances are that six feet is not going to help you against a backhoe. A 3 cubic yard bucket is pretty big and six feet is just too close for comfort.
