My god I am gonna sound like a fan boy,
but my god you are one sharp cookie .
You helped Linus with alot of the Kernel
for over the past 10 years .
You prolly have his home phone number, LOL .
You know you netowrking too, among other
things, and I am glad to read your comments
on the cisco gear becasue I used to work there.
I was one of the lucky 8,500 that got cut,
so to speak .
I did it to myself, no degree, just getting
by on ability with SS7,Voip, Tcp/ip, DOS,
NT and Unix .
They had some DOS SS7 test boxes for msg
analysis, Inet specifically, I worked for
them too at one time .
When the rubber meets the road and crunch
time hits we are tossed out though .
I am now working in Guantanamo Bay Cuba
and saved all my money while I did network,
PC, and Voip camera support here on the base .
I am going back and getting more certifications
so I can get a decent job even with times as
bad as they are now .

Traffic is not allowed to freely flow on these networks, flitering is occuring.
Some networks are already blocking p2p appz, and DHCP can be handled in a similar manner as it IDs itself in the packet xmission.

The statement the United Corporations of America
is too true, it's all for sale, if Larry Ellison

that he can pay salary and scare them with
threats of deportation to work longer hours .
Sun, M$, Oracle, Cisco, and a host of others
pushed thru 22 million in "PAYOLA" to secure
that H1-B count was dbl'd "AFTER" the decline
begain in 2000 .
The Univ Cailf @ Davis Norman Mattloff went
screaming into congress calling them on their
corruption, C-Span did not cover all of that
for some reason, LOL .
They used false information to push it thru
and the good ol boy network, and cold hard
cash . Dem's and Repub's both stuck there
hands in the cookie jar .
hell the vote to dbl H1-B's was like 98-1 .
One of the most Unanimous votes in history .
Meanwhile unemployment was on the rise .
All of this was engineered to drive wages down,
and if you want to know who to thank, you
don't have to look very damn far .
I am not saying the DOT BUST was caused by this,
I am saying they ignored it and pushed ahead
further overseas scab labor .
Some of the ancillary and primary 9-11 ppl
were H1-B's that were not properly researched .
Some were granted their visas after they
rode the planes into the towers, the president
went into an apopoleptic fit over this .
The rubber stamp to oil the corporate gears
with cheap labor had hit a hiccup, one that
shall not be forgotten for a damn long time .
So as to the morality and ethics and legality
of Warez and what else, like OJ if you have
enough money you can write the book yourself,
and if you are replicating square wave
binary pulses for data , you can go to jail .
There is alot of hypocritical $hit out there,
and Warez is definitely not at the top of
the list of what this country really needs to
be addressing .
Our government is for sale, and the puppets
have strings being pulled by the puppet masters .
Warez, m3pz, moviez, etc etc, is a joke .
Lets consider the ppl bemoaning their horrific
fate, M$ who hired temps for up to 5 yrs and
later got sued because the jurys were so
villified that hard workers were left in temp
limbo becasue they knew they could screw them .
The other holy corporate cash cows that have
cashed out 100's of millions of dollars in
perfect timing and drawn down class action
lawsuits are the real conductors of choir
of cashouts .
Micheal Milken wannabe's like the king of
scum that walked out of Global Crossing with
$500 million . Wonder if that "bonus" was
due to his awesome corporate strategy, or
did he single handedly know how it would play
out and walked out with "maximum" theft but
did so under the guise of semi-legality
while thosuands of workers have their cars
and homes repo'd . All becasue this corporate
protectorate for the holy cash cow of pump and
dump can send millions into financial ruin so
the teflon suits can walk on , and a few that
are not popular are brought to trial to
play scapegoat for the hundreds that walk
away unscathed .
This is about big bucks, and BS, the statement
about it depending where you stand on a GPS
determines if anyone gives a damn is too true .
You are "never" going to get the whole world
on board unless the world is consumed by the
World Bank and IMF, and those that seek to
devalue the currency of every third world
country on earth , and short sell it on the
Foreign Exchange Currency markets, then buy
it back and make money twice on the fall and
rise as they ruin the lives of millions .
These are the puppetmasters that carry our
legal, ethical, moral, ideology .
They use it as they see fit and bend it to
meet their needs , and apply it to hold
down the masses .
Warez isn't going away, and this is just
another step towards Corporations ruling the
world in the background, and the puppets
dancing their marionette dances and partying
their a$$es of in Washington and laughing at
the "little" ppl .
195,000 for one year, other years were lower numbers, but it has been cumulative, and there has been abuses.
Ppl flying their relatives over on visitor Visas that stay indefinitely . I have met them driving taxi's, working Kwik Stop, or doing whatever .
The rich in this country look outside it for MORE cheap labor, the ppl at the top have the phrase "MORE 4 LESS" burned in their brain.
They are not going to hire us, and that is what the professor from UC Davis "proved" before congress.
Congress was bought off to the tune of 22 million dollars, split between Dem's and Repub's, by Ci$co, Micro$oft, Or-suckle, and several others .
The professor has "GOOD" former programming students working at the Mall . They were being profiled, just like alot of muslims are complaining about being profiled now after 9-11 .
Reverse Discrimination, it is not new, it has been around for awhile now . I have experienced it first hand, it is the minorities way to get back at those they feel wronged them .
A UC Davis professor went screaming into congress over his findings that approx. 22 million was paid by Sun, Micro$oft, Ci$co, Or-suckle and several other to "Fluff" the numbers of IT workers needed .
This came to a vote before congress, the Dem's and the Repub's all voted for the bill.
In fact the bill to double the H1-b's per year was voted 98-1, one of the most unanimous votes in the history of our county, only a handful of other issues like declaring WWII got so high a percentage .
As to the foreign workers who want to come here and work and send as much home as they can, I have but one questions for you ???
How are americans treated in your country that visit, that flirt with your women, that want to buy things, and setup businesses and take jobs and sales from companies there ???
In some it is not allowed at all, period.
Are they shown any animosity, any prejudice, are they EVER treated poorly ???
Nary an unkind word eh ???
The US economy is in decline, if the vast majority of technical labor drops to less than what Union fork lift drivers make, what's the point . Tech jobs will become crap jobs, no one will want them, and bankrupties will drive the country into a self fulfilling spiral all for a few Execs that like to do things like PUMP and DUMP on their stock options and lie on their SEC filings.
As to how we ended up this way, the corrupt blood sucking politician/lawyers that have not a care for their constituients.
In a democracy it is supposed to be by the ppl for the ppl, not what we have at present .
I really doubt the "US" programmers or their parents would be pleased to find out that their Congressman voted to put their children out of work .
When you have ppl in charge that are EASILY bought off, and are hand picked by party members for the fine thread count of their marionette strings for using them like cash dancing puppets, what do you expect ??
I would not miss p2p programs, if someone knew
how to write a program that essentially
functioned like a advanced mailing list .
With all the regular mailing list commands,
and used automatic segmentation at say 100KB
and CRC checking of binary attachments .
wrap it all with a PGP plug in or an open
source equivalent of your choice .
You have secure, encrypted, easily manageable
file trading .
The add-on would be a GUI to drive the test
commands, and search features, and an
indexing system of available files .
make the updates to the index less frequent to
reduce data on the network, and use a Tree
topology for the Index based on continous
time connected .
You rate users length of connectivity, and
the longest connected person has the most
expansive index file, and this propagates
down the tree to the recent sign ons .
new users sign on, are picked up by their
closest peers, and it propagates up the
tree, and once it is at top, it goes back
down the tree .
Only top tier servers will incur higher traffic .
For example, you could subscribe to "enigma"
and your software would check the index of
available vs. an index file of what you have
and "request" the ones you don't have .
The index file of what you have could be in
2 parts, what is available for download, and
what has been movd to cd-r, or other offline
storage .
essentially if subscribed to enigma and the
new album came out, you would not even have
to request it, it would just show up when
it was made available .
Each user would be their own mail server, and
could CC: send to many users at once, thus
utilizing less bandwidth .
If 12 ppl on the same branch request the same
file, it could trickle down from one mail
server filing the request, saving bandwidth .
The nature of mail would offer direct ties to
how the newsgroups work, and the similarly
related code .
The mail broadcast idea similar to spam, is
spam that is wanted , vs. spam that is adverts.
Just a thought...
Well I only had two systems with IDE raid so I just used two Gig-ethernet cards and a cross over cable between them for passing cd images or other large 500meg+ files .
I just set them up on a 2nd class C network in addition to the 100 mega-bit one I have been using for years .
Can really cram alot across it, in a short amount of time .
By the way, 100 Base-t does not hit line speed most of time either, test it with data chunks, its horrible un winblow$ , *nix is alot better.
I used to work for AOL, a few friends still do work for them . They are losing users at a unprecendented rate to DSL and cable.
Some ppl are disgusted with virii, script kiddies, spam, porn, pop-ups, java script, etc etc etc.
Broadband seems to be the big killer though, they are offering there own "branded" DSL.
(They love to talk brands, marketing thing)
All in all though, ppl are gonna realize that they can get their news at many other sites, and can get their stock info elsewhere all for free (or adware ).
Speaking of adware, AOL has so much now that some ppl are dumping it for that reason.
I think a mail server/client based app that runs a Dbase local on that box that works off a subscibe based architecture would work great.
The Dbase could propagate thru the network every 5 minutes to update other Dbases.
The 5 min refresh, in a differential manner would save HHUUGGEE bandwidth.
Ie. send a directory update based on the difference of last received , in other words you only receive new listings, and if old ones dropped off they get updated.
Users that have a high rate off connectivity are marked as such and have a higher Dbase accuracy rating, a virtual tree topology could be negotiated automatically thru statistics . Top level trickling down to newer logons , as a users time on climbs they ascend the tree towards the trunk. if they just signed on they are way out on the limb so to speak.
Make it VAGUELY similar to spanning tree prot.
It could plug in PGP if it was mail based, it could plug in other mail features too if done right.
Like adding band-x to ur band list, and it would auto propagate any band-x songs that show up out there that you do not have.
This could be down with virtually any file sharing, it would be great.
The big bandwidth sharing could be negotiated by appointing and selecting certian connections to send out 100 copies of a highly requested MP3/file of whatever type similar to a CC attachment on a e-mail.
In this manner it is sent once, but reaches many ppl.

Has anyone entertained the idea of a file sharing app that works based off of a mail server/mail list/subscribe type architecture ???
There are automated mailing lists out there that will distribute files even, has anyone thought about taking it a step further and make it to where everyone is running a mail server, and it each ones keeps a client list similar to a Dbase.
A gui to allow searches of a locally stored Dbase index that receives updates via e-mail about once every 5 min . It could give approximation percentages for % of Dbase coverage, so you know when it is nearly full populated . It could store profiles of users that are on for long periods of time, similar to uptime.
You serch the local Dbase(on ur drive)that gets
a once every 5 min (random number, keep traffic low) refresh . The Id#'s are PGP keys ?!?!?
using encrypted mail keeps everyone somewhat anonymous....
And then when you find what you want you select it and the software selects the source to send it based on traffic patterns.
Ie. the guy that is already slammed does not get long listed on sedning out the same mp3 1,000 times a day.
It won't be a walk in the park, but if 100 users request the same file and a mail type architecture is used then it could be CC'd and the upstream bandwidth would be cut way back ???
Any comments appreciated.
I do not know enough to know if it is really possible, but e-mail is a huge load on the net now, and would offer lower network overhead thru a subscribe type design in my opinion.
Just think you could subscribe to band-x, and it would chk the band-x Dbase of desired songs on your drive and get them all while you sleep, lol.
Well perhaps you don't see it, becasue you choose to not see it, or you are blind.
or have family members with large stock options in certain companies.
Reality is this, act like bill gates, and your a monoply, AT&T pulled this crap years ago and go and the Bells adn them did the big split.
It was aranged so it was in truth a joke.
Bell managed these regionally, and it was split up regionally, duh......
They are lobbying, grafting, panhadling this all thru congress to the tune of payola.
If you don't see it, you just do not want to, or your blind.
18 months ago a oc-3 between chicago and DC was 1.3 million per month, that is ludicrous.
A single strand of fiber can carry a DWDM signal, one hundred multiplexed Sonet T-carrier lines of speeds much higher than oc-3.
They are milking this for all it is worth.
It is like the cow that never goes dry for them, and they are going to assure it stays that way.
Consider:
*** floating taxes and fees in accounts and skimming the interest....
1) Local Loop
a) install charges
b) recurring monthly fee that is written off
as a loss
2) Local Long distance
a) charging for Inter-LATA calls
b) IXC charges , dinging ur long distance
carrier for routing a call to them for
long haul long distance service.
3) Services
a) Call waiting
b) Caller Id
c) Call return
d) Call Block
e) repairs to ur line
*** did you know that it costs them next to nothing to provide these, but they end up costing more than just the local service.
I have been a Cellular TCAP processing room
in Arizona and the boxes routing those hand
offs from tower to tower and doing the
database dips were Sun, and if you talk to
most Telecom companies they are gonna say Sun.
Alot of DOT BOMBS bought sun boxes and then
ended up selling them on Ebay for a dime on
the dollar, because THEY "The DOT BOMB" sucked,
not Sun .
Sun took the hit in Sales, and then fear came
along and they got hit, again, and again....
At Cisco Systems, before me and 8,499 other
ppl got canned, all of the medium to large
sales went down with a Sales-Engineer
attached to it . Several ONLY went thru
becasue of their pressence, not the marketing
puke, who did even understand what a VLAN is .
The medium to large companies shelling out
for $100,000+ infrastructure changes often
send their engineers because they have been
burned by marketing pukes in the past .
I have been working in Tech since the VAX days,
so don't think I am green and naive .
I am nearly 40 years old .
When Genuity went with Cisco for their Voip
solution, Engineers helped make it happen .
I am so TIRED of marketing ppl that think
they sell the product, if the product does
not sell itself then it is not worthy of
purchase . The product is a reflection of
the designers, and the engineers that work
out the interoperation .
Marketing, Sales, MBA's, you are little more
than glorified car salesmen that have moved
into Tech becasue there is alot of money in it.
Idiotic MBA types are the ppl that ran alot of
the DOT BOMBS, they ran them into the ground .
Good example, the Engineers at 3dfx were
originally primary control, once the suits
and marketing ppl took over went on a all
out marketing blitz instead of re-investing
in the hardware, the company bombed .

So as to the morality and ethics and legality of Warez and what else, like OJ if you have enough money you can write the book yourself, and if you are replicating square wave binary pulses for data , you can go to jail .
There is alot of hypocritical $hit out there, and Warez is definitely not at the top of the list of what this country really needs to be addressing .
Our government is for sale, and the puppets have strings being pulled by the puppet masters .
Warez, m3pz, moviez, etc etc, is a joke .
Lets consider the ppl bemoaning their horrific fate, M$ who hired temps for up to 5 yrs and later got sued because the jurys were so villified that hard workers were left in temp limbo becasue they knew they could screw them .
The other holy corporate cash cows that have cashed out 100's of millions of dollars in perfect timing and drawn down class action lawsuits are the real conductors of choir of cashouts .
Micheal Milken wannabe's like the king of scum that walked out of Global Crossing with $500 million . Wonder if that "bonus" was due to his awesome corporate strategy, or did he single handedly know how it would play out and walked out with "maximum" theft but did so under the guise of semi-legality while thosuands of workers have their cars and homes repo'd . All becasue this corporate protectorate for the holy cash cow of pump and dump can send millions into financial ruin so the teflon suits can walk on , and a few that are not popular are brought to trial to play scapegoat for the hundreds that walk away unscathed .
This is about big bucks, and BS, the statement about it depending where you stand on a GPS determines if anyone gives a damn is too true .
You are "never" going to get the whole world on board unless the world is consumed by the World Bank and IMF, and those that seek to devalue the currency of every third world country on earth , and short sell it on the Foreign Exchange Currency markets, then buy it back and make money twice on the fall and rise as they ruin the lives of millions .
These are the puppetmasters that carry our legal, ethical, moral, ideology .
They use it as they see fit and bend it to meet their needs , and apply it to hold down the masses .
Warez isn't going away, and this is just another step towards Corporations ruling the world in the background, and the puppets dancing their marionette dances and partying their a$$es of in Washington and laughing at the "little" ppl .
Enjoy the ride !

The rich in this country look outside it for
MORE cheap labor, the ppl at the top have
the phrase "MORE 4 LESS" burned in their brain.
They are not going to hire us, and that is
what the professor from UC Davis "proved"
before congress
Congress was bought off to the tune of
22 million dollars, split between Dem's
and Repub's, by Ci$co, Micro$oft, Or-suckle,
and several others .
The professor has "GOOD" former programming
students working at the Mall . They were
being profiled, just like alot of muslims
are complaining about being profiled now after
9-11 .

been around for awhile now . I have experienced

A UC Davis professor went screaming into congress
.
.
, .
.
over his findings that approx. 22 million was
paid by Sun, Micro$oft, Ci$co, Or-suckle and
several other to "Fluff" the numbers of IT
workers needed .
This came to a vote before congress, the Dem's
and the Repub's all voted for the bill
In fact the bill to double the H1-b's per year
was voted 98-1, one of the most unanimous votes
in the history of our county, only a handful
of other issues like declaring WWII got so
high a percentage .
As to the foreign workers who want to come here
and work and send as much home as they can, I
have but one questions for you ???
How are americans treated in your country that
visit, that flirt with your women, that want
to buy things, and setup businesses and take
jobs and sales from companies there ???
In some it is not allowed at all, period
Are they shown any animosity, any prejudice,
are they EVER treated poorly ???
Nary an unkind word eh ???
The US economy is in decline, if the vast
majority of technical labor drops to less
than what Union fork lift drivers make
what's the point . Tech jobs will become
crap jobs, no one will want them, and
bankrupties will drive the country into a
self fulfilling spiral all for a few Execs
that like to do things like PUMP and DUMP
on their stock options and lie on their SEC
filings
As to how we ended up this way, the corrupt
blood sucking politician/lawyers that have
not a care for their constituients
In a democracy it is supposed to be by the ppl
for the ppl, not what we have at present .
I really doubt the "US" programmers or their
parents would be pleased to find out that
their Congressman voted to put their children
out of work .
When you have ppl in charge that are EASILY
bought off, and are hand picked by party
members for the fine thread count of their
marionette strings for using them like cash
dancing puppets, what do you expect ??

I would not miss p2p programs, if someone knew how to write a program that essentially functioned like a advanced mailing list . With all the regular mailing list commands, and used automatic segmentation at say 100KB and CRC checking of binary attachments . wrap it all with a PGP plug in or an open source equivalent of your choice . You have secure, encrypted, easily manageable file trading . The add-on would be a GUI to drive the test commands, and search features, and an indexing system of available files . make the updates to the index less frequent to reduce data on the network, and use a Tree topology for the Index based on continous time connected . You rate users length of connectivity, and the longest connected person has the most expansive index file, and this propagates down the tree to the recent sign ons . new users sign on, are picked up by their closest peers, and it propagates up the tree, and once it is at top, it goes back down the tree . Only top tier servers will incur higher traffic . For example, you could subscribe to "enigma" and your software would check the index of available vs. an index file of what you have and "request" the ones you don't have . The index file of what you have could be in 2 parts, what is available for download, and what has been movd to cd-r, or other offline storage . essentially if subscribed to enigma and the new album came out, you would not even have to request it, it would just show up when it was made available . Each user would be their own mail server, and could CC: send to many users at once, thus utilizing less bandwidth . If 12 ppl on the same branch request the same file, it could trickle down from one mail server filing the request, saving bandwidth . The nature of mail would offer direct ties to how the newsgroups work, and the similarly related code . The mail broadcast idea similar to spam, is spam that is wanted , vs. spam that is adverts. Just a thought ...
Well I only had two systems with IDE raid so
I just used two Gig-ethernet cards and a
cross over cable between them for passing
cd images or other large 500meg+ files .
I just set them up on a 2nd class C network
in addition to the 100 mega-bit one I have been
using for years .
Can really cram alot across it, in a short
amount of time .
By the way, 100 Base-t does not hit line speed
most of time either, test it with data chunks,
its horrible un winblow$ , *nix is alot better.

do work for them . They are losing users
at a unprecendented rate to DSL and cable
Some ppl are disgusted with virii, script

Broadband seems to be the big killer though,
they are offering there own "branded" DSL
(They love to talk brands, marketing thing)
All in all though, ppl are gonna realize
that they can get their news at many other
sites, and can get their stock info elsewhere
all for free (or adware ).
Speaking of adware, AOL has so much now that
some ppl are dumping it for that reason
Anyone chk the size of AOL 7.0 ???
just shy of 300 meg, what the hell ???

I think a mail server/client based app .

that runs a Dbase local on that box that
works off a subscibe based architecture
would work great
The Dbase could propagate thru the network
every 5 minutes to update other Dbases
The 5 min refresh, in a differential manner
would save HHUUGGEE bandwidth
Ie. send a directory update based on the
difference of last received , in other words
you only receive new listings, and if old
ones dropped off they get updated
Users that have a high rate off connectivity
are marked as such and have a higher Dbase
accuracy rating, a virtual tree topology
could be negotiated automatically thru
statistics . Top level trickling down
to newer logons , as a users time on climbs
they ascend the tree towards the trunk
if they just signed on they are way out on
the limb so to speak
Make it VAGUELY similar to spanning tree prot.
It could plug in PGP if it was mail based,
it could plug in other mail features too
if done right
Like adding band-x to ur band list, and it
would auto propagate any band-x songs that
show up out there that you do not have
This could be down with virtually any file
sharing, it would be great
The big bandwidth sharing could be negotiated
by appointing and selecting certian connections
to send out 100 copies of a highly requested
MP3/file of whatever type similar to a CC
attachment on a e-mail
In this manner it is sent once, but reaches
many ppl
lemme know what you think

Has anyone entertained the idea of a file
.

....

sharing app that works based off of a
mail server/mail list/subscribe type
architecture ???
There are automated mailing lists out there
that will distribute files even, has anyone
thought about taking it a step further and
make it to where everyone is running a mail
server, and it each ones keeps a client list
similar to a Dbase
A gui to allow searches of a locally stored
Dbase index that receives updates via e-mail
about once every 5 min . It could give
approximation percentages for % of Dbase
coverage, so you know when it is nearly
full populated . It could store profiles
of users that are on for long periods of
time, similar to uptime
You serch the local Dbase(on ur drive)that gets
a once every 5 min (random number, keep traffic low) refresh . The Id#'s are PGP keys ?!?!?
using encrypted mail keeps everyone somewhat
anonymous
And then when you find what you want you select
it and the software selects the source to
send it based on traffic patterns
Ie. the guy that is already slammed does not
get long listed on sedning out the same
mp3 1,000 times a day
It won't be a walk in the park, but if 100
users request the same file and a mail
type architecture is used then it could
be CC'd and the upstream bandwidth would
be cut way back ???
Any comments appreciated
I do not know enough to know if it is really
possible, but e-mail is a huge load on the
net now, and would offer lower network
overhead thru a subscribe type design in
my opinion
Just think you could subscribe to band-x, and
it would chk the band-x Dbase of desired songs
on your drive and get them all while you sleep,
lol

18 months ago a oc-3 between chicago and DC
was 1.3 million per month, that is ludicrous
A single strand of fiber can carry a DWDM
signal, one hundred multiplexed Sonet T-carrier
lines of speeds much higher than oc-3
They are milking this for all it is worth
It is like the cow that never goes dry for
them, and they are going to assure it stays
that way
Consider
*** floating taxes and fees in accounts and
skimming the interest
1) Local Loop
a) install charges
b) recurring monthly fee that is written off
as a loss
2) Local Long distance
a) charging for Inter-LATA calls
b) IXC charges , dinging ur long distance
carrier for routing a call to them for
long haul long distance service
3) Services
a) Call waiting
b) Caller Id
c) Call return
d) Call Block
e) repairs to ur line
*** did you know that it costs them next to
nothing to provide these, but they end up
costing more than just the local service
You are stupid.

Here is why
Bandwidth drops in price, in bulk, by half
for every 4 fold increment in speed
AKA an oc-12 per mega-bit costs half as
much as an oc-3, this was the pricing
plan when I got out about 18 months ago,
and prices are lower now
Who sets the prices ???
The long haul guys, who are the long haul
guys ???
AT&T , WorldComm, SBC, US West(quest)
and a cpl others
Just how much do they charge ?
a oc-3 chicago to DC about 18 months ago
was 1.3 million per month
do you really think that a tiny slice of a
DWDM line , less than 1% of a OC-768
should cost a million per month ???
Its a damn ripoff game, they are inflating
costs, and lying about expenditures and
playing a damn shell game
Its just a damn scam

At Cisco Systems, before me and 8,499 other
ppl got canned, all of the medium to large
sales went down with a Sales-Engineer
attached to it . Several ONLY went thru
becasue of their pressence, not the marketing
puke, who did even understand what a VLAN is .
The medium to large companies shelling out
for $100,000+ infrastructure changes often
send their engineers because they have been
burned by marketing pukes in the past .
I have been working in Tech since the VAX days,
so don't think I am green and naive .
I am nearly 40 years old .
When Genuity went with Cisco for their Voip
solution, Engineers helped make it happen .
I am so TIRED of marketing ppl that think
they sell the product, if the product does
not sell itself then it is not worthy of
purchase . The product is a reflection of
the designers, and the engineers that work
out the interoperation .
Marketing, Sales, MBA's, you are little more
than glorified car salesmen that have moved
into Tech becasue there is alot of money in it.
Idiotic MBA types are the ppl that ran alot of
the DOT BOMBS, they ran them into the ground .
Good example, the Engineers at 3dfx were
originally primary control, once the suits
and marketing ppl took over went on a all
out marketing blitz instead of re-investing
in the hardware, the company bombed .
