C'mon. Democracy is dying without the chinese needing to help it.
Capitalism does not equal democracy. Democracy is when everybody has a voice... and I don't mean on slashdot.
Look at who makes the rules in the world today, and tell me that Democracy is winning. The corperations rule the planet. We are heading to Robocop world.
Bush is president. Even if you aren't a Michael Moore hugging conspiracy theorist, you must be able to see something wrong with how this man got into power.
True (Why did you get modded down.. that was a good point?)

I'm going to add a word to that statement.
"Yet".
Sure, people have been predicting that the most populous nations on earth would be the "next superpower" for years... brazil, india and now china.
I think it will happen, not only for their size, but because they seem to have retained an understanding of the importance of education while the rest of the world... especially the US and Australia... are opting for modeles where the Rich get educated and the "poor" (those not in the top 10%) are receiving less education in order to become serfs for the elite.
I don't think the model is sustainable. But then, Bush is the most powerful man in the world and he's a dipshit intellectually, so maybe I'm wrong.

Cisco will keep _a_ common interface to its products. Think the CatOS -> IOS transition on the switches.
I still don't see your point tho.
There is no one "IOS". Every Cisco router and switch needs it own image to support relavent hardware... CPU, mainboard etc.
The only thing they have in common is the user interface. (okay.. and some of the MIBs).
But compare a 2500 images to a 3660 image to an 12000 image and you are dealing with different beasts.
Its only logical that the software you need to run a 92Tb core is different to that needed on a 2600 edge router.
And your CCIE comment: Most CCIEs don't work on this stuff. Its carrier grade core. The CCIE exam uses 2600 and 3600 series routers: Edge and distribution layer stuff.
I'd be very very suprised if they "got rid" of IOS. Cisco are already (and have for a long time) provided web-front ends for routers and switches (even thought the router one is primitive to say the least). There is also the configmaker tool to help..um.. make configs:)
The deal is: routing is complicated. Even your basic IP router IOS image has thousands of configuration posibilities. How simple can you make restributing routes between two routing protocols between half a dozen subnets while controlling the load to your specifications over your leased lines?
And then there's BGP. Fun.
IOS isn't that hard. There's a learning curve, sure. But hell... if you've ever looked at the instructions to change an IP on an interface in IOS compared to, for example, windows, its a nightmare.
Prettier does not necesarily mean "user-friendly"... especially when a "user" shouldn't be let within a hundred miles of a config-if prompt.
IOS might not be simple, but its an efficient way to control the power of the router.

Easy.
- Healthy people who are stupid enough to cake themselves with make-up in the name of beauty deserve it.
- People who are using it to cover some horrible birth-defect or accident scar are already maimed, so if it burns off their flesh, it doesn't matter.
Seriously. We now know enought about biology and pharmacology that a lot of animal testing really isn't necessary.
For the rest, there are always uni students who will let you do all sorts of shit for enough money to pay next months rent and food bills.
> he's going to be running a site selling Brazilian sex tours. > he was an aggressively normal guy
Sorry, but "normal guys", aggressive or otherwize, don't sell sex tours to brazil.
And, as somebody who knows brazil quite well, I advise you about taking a sex tour there. The rate of HIV is rediculous, and if you are going there to play among prostitutes you have almost a perfect chance of coming into contact with it.
However, Brazillians are very very friendly people, and a lot of them see sex as something to be shared freely (in comparison to Europe and all of the US except for Daytona beach). Unless you are really ugly, you could go out to any night club and meet a nice girl who will want to play with you*. Or a nice boy if you are so inclined. Why pay a spamming yuppy to be the middle man?
But if you are going there to party, take a balloon.

No, but he's given me hours of entertainment. For that I give him money.
Sounds fair to me.

True.
And the distribution of wealth in the US is fair, how?
Visit an Arkansas trailer park, or visit East LA, and you can see that despite the huge wealth of the US, a lot of people aren't seeing the benefits.

Nitpick: GSM is european.
More precisely: Its French.
(And TDMA isn't GSM, its just one signalling implementation that can use the GSM standards.)

Most CCIE stuff doesn't touch the core.
Give me a link.
I can't find anything that states that IOS XP _isn't_ IOS. Maybe there's a command reference somewhere?

What do you mean "Not IOS"?

Sure... as long as they don't work for WalMart

Look at the monkey they've currently got running it, and then tell me that there is no reason to be paranoid.
No. Jar-Jar needs to be hated much more than the ewoks.
That's because the model for Jar-Jar was Ally McBeal, why the model for the ewoks was Ron Jeremy.

With the release of the new Pixar smash "The decay of the snot monster".
CWA is the "Country Women's Association".
Which means basically no crochet tea-cosies, fresh scones or home made waffles for a couple of days.
Even if it wasn't mine, I'd save the dog.
Because the dog's family are less likely to sue if I hurt the person in the process of saving their life.

Just a note: Shrek wasn't pixar. It was Dreamworks (I think).
