Geez. Ego the size of a building, but skin as thin as paper. We get it: you guys are awesome and know how to read maps and can hike in the backcountry with only the sun as reference.
Local knowledge does not win every time. Because local knowledge doesn't know about CURRENT traffic conditions or road closures or accidents or...People always think "they know better" when they are local to a place, but in reality they don't. It is an ego thing.
I'm not apologizing. I'm explaining why people can't read maps. Most people are intellectually lazy. You guys go out of your way to show how awesome you are don't you?
Yeah yeah yeah...90% of the time it is right and you are wrong. Route 1 probably would have been faster, but you "knew better". I know it hurts peoples ego, but it is the truth.
You also need to look at it in the right orientation. You also need to know which roads connect and which roads are overpasses, etc. You also need to know which roads have a higher speed limit, more lanes, etc. You also need to know how to estimate non-linear distances, or be able to use the distance markers on the map. There is more to it then just "looking at it".
Hate to break it to you guys, but the GPS will more reliably find you an optimum route than you can find yourself. That is because the GPS "knows" more than you do: current traffic conditions, road closures, etc. I know people pooh pooh GPS directions and say "I know a faster way" but they really don't 90% of the time.
Not sure why this is marked as a troll. It is 100% true: use pfSense, not Cisco. Use an Open Source solution that doesn't require a "support contract" to get fixes to THEIR software they sold you. The only reason to use Cisco Firewalls is to make Cisco rich.
It isn't like the job of a firewall is to keep unauthenticated remote attackers out. The purpose of a Cisco firewall is so Chambers can buy another island. It is your fault for not choosing an Open Source solution.
Slashdot Mirror
Damn. Another Slashdot special snowflake. How original.
You also need to be able to find the best route out of many. Using a paper map that can be a challenge. Computers are good at it though.
Yes dummy. That is why I repeated it. I'm not apologizing for them. Sounds like you have a comprehension problem.

You need to buy a better GPS. The point is that 90% of the time it is better than you.
I always spell everything correctly. I am not a looser!

Yes I know how to read a map. So do you. But not everyone knows. See the point?

Most GPS units also know about road closures. Even road closures that last hours instead of months.

I didn't think they existed. After all I can't see them. Unless I can put it in my pocket I don't believe it exists.
Boy, do I feel like an idiot for paying my $699 License Fee to SCO.
The millimeter radiation will kill everyone in poor and rural communities. What a plan!
Now, THAT is some Hot Hardware!
Zing!
I am a cisgender hermaphrodite who identifies as male. Nobody pulls me!
Is my PIN in there? It is "1234"
Hell, from ANYONES perspective banning Windows is a really good idea!
Minor correction. North Korea's Linux distro is called "Pulgunbyol"
Yes, but *this* guy probably owns a Mac. These elitist types always do.
