Zero and you are a hero

"In other words : zero stock is now coming back to bite with a vengeance."

Sure, it's a shit sandwich, but it's a very LEAN shit sandwich.

Would you like some of our 6SigmaSauce with that?

Re: Since When . . .

"Since When . . .have U.S. judges worn wigs?"

Well the judges name is "Beth" so..... you'll have to ask the judge.

Now I'm feeling old

Forte Agent?

Almost forgot about that one. The flashback was sudden and the sense of loss deep on that mention.

Damn I'm old.

Re: Testing? We've heard of it.

Testing is for whimps. Cisco sez it's good to go, it's good to go.

Just look at the original release software. Good to go.

Wait. Hang on.

Re: So how many get freed?

The rather large company I used to work for until very recently has at least 3 or 4 class B ranges they aren't using that would keep ARIN going for another day or so. Plus a couple RIPE could get back.

We won't discuss the multitude of </16 ranges they have scattered about the globe.

I think they could keep a few of the /24 for NAT/other purposes and get along on the 1918 ranges until they convert to IPV6.

If only they were actually converting to IPV6 instead of yet another committee to study the idea. Maybe next decade.

Re: 1st Picture?

No. He's busy smearing the fancy, trendy, oh so cool glass walled offices with his greasy hand prints.

Something the "open space concept" pushers didn't think about. Our glass walls look horrible after about 6 months. And the so called cleaning people just smear it all around with a cloth until it's an impenetrable haze.

I predict lots of these will be 'demo'ed'. None will really be sold.

True, but you'll just need an OSHA approved "EPA Opinion" Flamesuit

Up voted for truth but you'll just be hammered for daring to suggest that a regulatory agency has overstepped it's bounds by a large margin.

Re: It's probably 1Gig which is the odd one out

Spot on. Outside of the data center or core to distribution runs, the cost of upgrading the cabling to support 10G just isn't going to happen anytime soon. Last I recall you still couldn't go very far on copper, TX6A is only 70 meters which isn't a drop in replacement for 5E (100 meters) so it won't fit in existing runs.

Plus it's damned expensive to boot and requires even more expensive and carefully certified terminations.

It's all in the Grade

I'm not so certain the tree species influences the taste that much. I do know the grades can vary in sweetness and taste.

Grade A Light Amber ("Fancy"), Grade A Medium Amber, Grade A Dark Amber, Grade B.

The A light fancy is very sweet and very light on the taste. The Grade B is very dark, almost 'industrial' syrup, very thick and a heavy taste. I guess it depends on how you are using it (cooking, pancakes, ice cream) as to which works best. I've used it in coffee before as a substitute for sugar. :-)

I find the A dark over plain vanilla ice cream to be better than sex. Wait. No. Yes. Much better now than I'm getting old.

ITIL? It'il end in tears

Tons of paperwork, committees, and change boards. It'll all go swimmingly(!) I'm certain of it.

The CIO invited his managers to a safari by the desert. He lent his four-wheel-drive car and recommended a route through the desert.

After 20 miles of travelling, they got a flat tire and the car got stuck in the middle of a dune.

Just a second after the puncture, the incident manager left the car saying “go, go, go!!! We’re in time!” put a chewing gum on the tyre, got into the car again and said “Solved, let’s go!“. The Change Manager responded “But, it will only last for a few meters.“, But the Incident Manager said “It doesn’t matter! I can put another gum if it fails again.“

Half an hour after running out of chewing gum, the problem manager said. “EUREKA! I know!. There is no more problem! The tire wasn’t designed for the heat, and it melted“. The Incident Manager said “OK. But… how can we get out of this situation?“. “Hey! Don’t put pressure on me! I know the root cause. Now it isn’t a problem, it’s a known error“, the Problem Manager retorted.

The Change Manager said. “I know how to change the wheel. But I can’t“. “Why?” Asked the rest. “Because I can’t contact the owner and I don’t have an approval“, the Change Manager responded.

The Incident Manager ran out of patience, and began to shout at the Release Manager. “Hey, we are all trying to get out of here, and you are not doing anything!“. He answered “I’m doing more than everyone of you. I just finished a RFE so the next version of the tire won’t fail in the future.“

Finally, everyone looked at the Service Level Manager, who said. “OK, OK. Maybe it’s my fault. Well, I’ll pay you a coffee when we return and we’ll be even“

Re: wait a minute

WV is run by the blue team. Remember all the .Gov largesse projects named for Sen. Byrd? He who had to be carried out of the U.S. Senate feet first?

He wasn't just blue because he stopped breathing.

Re: C4's "Home of the future"

Of course you could just activate the 'electric grid' floor while being burgled.

Not a clue officer, looks like he had a heart attack and just died on the spot. Pity.

Re: what is it a copy of

Depends on who they stole the plans from.
