    Why buy CRTs when you can steal LCDs?

    I mean, they're willing to steal the gold using exploits, right?

  2. Re:SV overpopulated? on In SIlicon Valley: Profits up. Employment Down. · · Score: 1

    I bought an Aeron for my home back in 2000.

    I think it cost ~$800.

    It was probably the best purchase I've ever made.

  3. Re:Oh its on now! on Federal Agencies Must Use IPv6 by 2008 · · Score: 1
    Cisco 2950 switches we bought two years ago didn't have IPv6 support.

    Cisco 2950 switches are a layer 2 device. IP is a layer 3 protocol.. they weren't supposed to support IPv6.

  4. Benefits of IPv6 on Federal Agencies Must Use IPv6 by 2008 · · Score: 5, Informative
    IPv6 is a powerful enhancement to IPv4. Its primary features are as follows:
    • The larger address space provides new global reachability, flexibility, aggregation, multihoming, autoconfiguration, plug and play, and renumbering. IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits, allowing more support for addressing hierarchical levels, a much greater number of addressable nodes, and simpler autoconfiguration of addresses.
    • The simpler, fixed-size header enables better routing efficiency, performance, and forwarding rate scalability.
    • The numerous possibilities to transition from IPv4 to IPv6 allow existing capabilities to exist with the added features of IPv6. Various mechanisms are defined for transitioning to IPv6, including dual stack, tunneling, and translation.
    • Mobility and security ensures compliance with Mobile IP and IP Security (IPSec) standards.

  5. Re:Not ready for Prime Time on Federal Agencies Must Use IPv6 by 2008 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, I'll bite.

    IPv6 has such a large address pool to allow autoconfiguration of addresses for now and in the future. It basically redifines the whole issue of keeping up with who has which IPs. Just keep up with their network number and autoconfig the rest.

    While the addresses may be 4 times the size and the header is twice the size, the header itself can be processed and delivered faster.

    Yes, it's about the perks. Things they can throw in to sweeten the deal. Better office, better parking, better access. Some things are fixed, for everything else, there is negotiation.

    Be sure and get something special with parking. Parking was always the worst nightmare for us and arrangements had to be made.

  13. Re:Start your own business on Internships for Talented High School Students? · · Score: 1
    I know a girl at 14 that started a website that within two years was bringing her in between $7000 and $11,000 a month. She had NO experience with programming or HTML, she used a program like Frontpage to do the design. By the time she finished high school she had college paid for, a nice new car, a nice expensive laptop, and money in the bank. Man I was jealous of her.

    This just screams early web porn shop.. lol

    As for advice, volunteer at some local small ISP doing tech support. After a while, they'll open a position for a new hire and you'll wind up with a paying job learning skills. Most of us here have done tech support at one point in time and whether we liked it or not, it's a stepping stone that can be leveraged into a better position. Just take some initiative and start solving the company's tech problems while you're on the phone solving the customers problem. There's plenty of free time there for your knowledge to mature.
