I think if you were to have a beer with Cisco it would end up costing you about $850 and if you ever wanted to change the mug or switch from a lager to an ale you would need to cough up another few hundred and call someone in India first.

Maybe because the F stands for food and the D stands for drug?

Crap, I wish I knew this before I started giving them $75 a year for free roadside assistance! Bastards!!

We aren't done completely hosing Iran's nuke program just yet. Once that is completely kaput then have at it!

And everything to do with VMWare. No one is buying servers because they have no need to. When I can replace 400 physical boxes with a couple dozen ESX hosts why wouldn't I?

I guess another way you can look at it is Intel has innovated themselves out of a market. Multi-core procs have enabled the virtualization boom, but they didn't charge enough for them. At least the auto industry was smart about it - new cars last twice as long as cars from 15-20 years ago, and prices have gone up accordingly.

Nice to see someone has a pair of balls. Not very common on an adult named 'Jimmy'.

Completely agree with this. Problem is, management typically looks at Fuckwit no differently then they look at a printer. Oh, burnt out the fuser? No problem, just go get a new one. Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.

BYOD should be amended to mean 'Bend Y'ass Over, Dude'.

Firebombing does not equal genocide.

Fixed the headline. Carry on.

Well, I guess it kinda makes sense that an ancient Hindu document describes nuclear war and aliens building the moon, since you know the aliens would have outsourced the IT parts of the project to India.

Back in the early Netware days I had to assing IPX addys to all my servers.

were just a few that I used, can't remember the rest.

We had Motorola FRADs for network connectivity (don't ask) and needed help from Motorola on filtering, so it was pretty funny when their engineer first got a look at the traffic. He didn't seem to mind.

Only if facebook is considered a 'telecommunications system', and I don't think it is.
If 'insert-isp-here' had been capturing packets between the pedo's pc and facebook, reading them, and then acted up on it you would have a better argument.

That's not a shock, she fits the republican 'we only like women who look like trannies' mold, a la Ann Coulter and Ann Romney.

I guess as long as there are no pics of the prophet then no one will mind.
Oh, who am I kidding? No one will care much outside Syria anyway, at least not for more than 5 minutes and a tweet or 2.

By 'Call your parents' I am assuming you mean 'yell up the stairs'?
