"Like" but isn't really. Most of the commands my fingers remember from not only using IOS, but from having added new features and fixed bugs in it, don't work. First stumbling blocks: conf t and wr t. They're definitely trying, and if you fiddle with it long enough, you can actually get a pair of tunnels to an AWS VPC with "redundant" BGP up.

Comment Re:It's not the packaging, it's the seal (Score 1) 398

Of course, I have, MrEricSir, on multiple occasions. I started shopping at Fry's when they still sold proper components as well as groceries, before the move across Lawrence Expy and the subsequent explosion of stores. The "checking" has always involved taking an inventory of what's in the box and comparing it to the given inventory on the side of the box, then slapping a sticker on it. There are, of course, two stickers, one that's RTV and the other that's meant to be put on items that are to be re-shelved. I've seen a non-zero number of re-packaged items (now they have their own shrink-wrap machine!) with RTV stickers put back on the shelves.

Or, you could live in a more-free country that allows you to buy drugs like Tylenol #1, which will generally knock the edge off of a migraine in no time flat. Instead, you have doctors afraid of writing 'scrips for any sort of painkiller (because the twin fears of lawsuits by patients and los federales, not to mention arrest and incarceration) and you end up taking something from the *triptan class of medicines which have side-effects that are nearly as bad as the migraine itself (in the near term).

Good idea, and I used to get that when I hit the back button after inadvertently going to some sort of site like ExpertSexChange (ooh, they hyphenated), but I haven't seen the "Never see these bastards again" link/button in a very long time. (And yes, I'm logged in) I'm not an iGoogle user and I usually go in via the search bar on Firefox.

If only I had mod points! YES. We are well past needing to chill out and stop responding to every sneeze with a paramilitary assault unit.

What, you want the paramilitary assault units that you can find in every police department of size to just sit around and twiddle their thumbs, waiting for the real emergency?
