    Yes, the CCIE, or what ever the old one was called that had a 3 day lab test. Very few people were able to pass it. They broke up that one to create CCIEs that are focused on certain areas.

    Are CCNPs worth much?

    The higher end Cisco stuff is quite hard and worth quite a bit to the owner.

    No you fuckin stupid asshole. Blocking anything for yourself is something nobody can prohibit, as mcuh as your shepherd will lead you fucking moronic American sheep to believe. Such simple weak minds are those that bash 250 million as one. Come back when you grow up

    'd say it's a bad idea because most people are uneducated on most issues (myself included). No, it is a bad idea because the right of the many do not outweigh the rights of the few. For example, pure democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting whats for lunch.

    uhh, While here in Los Angeles we actually use a paper ballot that is then read into a machine that checks for errors and tallies the vote.

    What is so hard about that?

  9. Hardware not software on Linux To Power Super Router · · Score: 1


    Repeat after me, it is the hardware that makes CISCO untouchable by software on a PC. The ASICs, the switch fabric on the interfaces, etc etc.

    It seems every few months another group gets together and say the same thing... "Surely us uber linux doods can make a better product than CISCO."

    Not to say it can't happen, it just will take a bit more capitalization than these guys have.

    And since this talk of "SUPER ROUTER", why not compare to Cisco's IOX?

  10. Re:Cisco's stuff isn't that great... on Linux To Power Super Router · · Score: 1

    We tend to have very very few problems with CISCO. The stuff just works. And as for different command sets, load a new IOS, or even if you can't, the syntax is not that hard.

    I will agree that the one major problem we had with setting QoS it took way too long before a new engineer came along and new the answer right away. It was something that all of their engineers should have known.

    Is that the best we can do? Sounds like you're arguing to lower the charges from murder to negligent homocide.(sic) That could be true IF I had any control. Within the law I can vote, protest, and a few other things. All these take time. Am I willing to uproot my family and move to some other country that has its own problems, no. That would be selfish. Am I going to attempt a more radical response to my government. Again no, that would be irresponsible to my family and morally wrong.

    It is not fair to the people involved. It is not fair to the future people who will have to pay for this. It is not fair that most likely the real "bad guys" will never pay.

    And that is Life!

    But seriously, there are an awful lot of people in the world that would honestly like the U.S. to stop "protecting their interests". Few Americans would tolerate foreign military personnel setting up bases in the United States. Why do you think other countries should? I agree, but you need to tell these other countries to stop taking the money USA throws at them to have these bases.

    You know grinds my gears, is seeing people apologize for being a Citizen of USA. If any of these USA haters cared to look, most of us folk are not for killing. Too many uninformed voters voted for the wrong guy. Too many lazy people don't bother to vote. If people want to criticize us, then go there. As for SUVs, yep, there are WAY too many, but many places in our Country does have legitimate needs for these. Many people, like myself, have these as vacation/weekend type cars. With the mountains/snow/desert just a few hours away,SUV are very practical.

    And as for 'mercan football, they are just showing the same ignorance as people here do when talking smack about what the rest of the world calls football.

    And a nice burger done right is a thing of beauty, but not to taken daily.
