How many people know how to type www.google.com into their browser, but then have to search to find amazon.com and never even think to type www.amazon.com?
I agree, I have BEV (Bell
Express Vu) here in Minnesota. Once you watch it, you will
prefer non-US-biased news, sports, etc. I guess the grass is always
greener on the other side?

OK, it's not legal, but it's non-subscription, like you asked for.
Canadian
Card Cleaners in Canada mods the Directivo so you don't need a Tivo sub, and
if you know how to hack Directv, well it's all free.
It's a shame we are all here on Slashdot and not alt.slashdot - think how this will be lost someday when Va Linux or whatever they are called today shuts it's doors...
I forgot to mention, had I pointed the browser at the Bangkok cybercafe at my Squid proxy server at home via the cable modem, I would have been ok, and they never would have known.
I mentioned this to them via email and they said their terms of service say you can't use a proxy server when accessing them. Huh, don't some ISP's require proxy servers? What about accessing from work and you have to use a proxy server? Strange, huh?
I got an email from Paypal.com saying I had $200 that someone sent me. I logged in via the link they provided and tried to xfer to my checking.
Frozen.
It took along time to find out that it's because I was in Thailand. I got the money after a 60 day freeze and closed the account since they were terrible to deal with.
I could go on and on about emails and phone calls, but suffice it to say they suck
Funny, but my CNE is now worth a lot more than it used to be, since they are so rare. I was a 4.x CNE that upgraded to 5.x in time to never touch it again until recently.
While I need other experience, the CNE has made people notice me in my interviewing lately. Kind of proves you've been in the field awhile.
I plan to go CCNP but CCIE is a waste to me unless you have a job already lined up that requires it.
MCSE, well nice to have, nothing I mention typically.
I guess it all depends on your goals. If you want to be a CCIE and travel a lot, etc, sure. NOT ME!
First off, I was a ISDN user my company paid for, then when they fired me / layed me off (thanks Lucent...) I was able to get cable modem via Mediacom (a tiny cable co in Minnesota I guess) that uses @home for the ISP.
I would have preferred DSL but it's not available. One thing I prefer about DSL is the ability to choose my ISP.
I still haven't used @home as an ISP other than the pipe and IP address. I don't use their DHCP/DNS, nor email or usenet server. Visi.com a local ISP costs me an extra $11 a month but it's well worth it to me.
So the way I see it, this whole mess is the fault of the cable industry as a whole to lock us into specific ISP's. Let me choose, then when @home goes away, it wouldn't even be the cable companies problem.
Kind of like when my car runs out of gas. Do I blame Honda??? duh.
I used to work for Lucent and Worldcom actually had a department that tested products before buying them. This was a network router that could do up to OC192. Not sure what has become of it, or in other words, to hell with Lucent.
But back to the main point, it seemed cool to me if you worked in the area of new equipment and software evals. I'm glad to see they have that kind of stuff and don't just rely on Lightreading.com
I just want to brag here... during my recent job search I sent my resume ONLY in pdf formats. I feel that the people who responded to me asking for it in Word didn't deserve my attention. BUT the ones who called and scheduled something got EXTRA attention.
Sure I sound a little arrogant considering the job market, but any employer who can't handle my pdf can go to hell.

my TRS 80 Model I had blackjack on cassette. something like load "21.bas", push play, and go get something to eat. Come back and play!

FINE! I'll set up port mapping and nat and just run everything on port 80. Screw them, and BRING IT ON!
I'll just run separate boxes. VPN? port 80; proxy server? port 80; ftp? port 80.

Qwest allows you to pick an ISP other than MSN. Gee, would I really pick VISI.com over MSN?
F-ing A RIGHT, I WOULD!
If Qwest would offer me DSL at my house, that is.
Go verify that the billions and billions served were really served... those signs may have to change!
it wasn't THAT easy, I bet that it took you at least a minute to think of, then another minute to do.
How's this?

I would email it to you, but I don't have your email address. Should I print it and snail mail it to you?
