The 3 days it's awesome out and I got stuck in Arizona and unable to rent even the skinniest of Fat Boy's to ride around in. I come back and it's shit. To quote a noted philosopher: "The whole fuckin' world's against us, I swear to God." -Jay (and Silent Bob)

Spent 3 hours in the garage last night while it was decent out to change the oil (waited WAY too long for that, may need to do it again), check tires, clean wheels, clean/lube chain, run engine a little. Now it's 41 and raining. Not happy. Discuss.

my ass is already sore.

Nope. Look up Faraday cages, that's what you need to create.

I was fortunate to get my passport right before they standardized on RFID. Even so, some quick smacks with a hammer takes care of the induction antenna pretty easily. $500 bucks for hotel+entry not counting airfare isn't too bad. If you guys go this year seriously let me know.

I think this belongs here...

If you're taking a poll, throw me in there as well. I've never been but really fascinated by it.

The majority of people who steal petty shit like this are pretty stupid to begin with, as evidenced by the fact that they are stealing petty shit. Do you really think they possess the cerebral fortitude to wipe hard drives?

"sh cdp neigh det" King me.

Any IT guy worth anything knows where the CLI is, and knows exactly what to say to it to make it do what he wants. Honestly for a casual user who happens to be smarter than the average bear, knowing Cisco CLI commands isn't going to do a whole lot for you. What will is knowing the underlying fundamentals, like the OSI model, IP routing and CIDR, stuff like that.

you think you're pretty shmart, don't you Trebek...

If you're going to get a new batt anyway, I'd go the lithium ion route. MUCH smaller footprint, saves a ton of weight, and not nearly as much dicking around with a battery tender.

It always makes me laugh when I see people like you parroting the commercials on the radio for certs and the salary ranges that come with them. Disclaimer: I have no certs in anything at all. You can call it laziness, apathy, but I prefer to get experience above all else. CCNA's are given out like candy it seems. When they're churning them out at the high school level, I'm already thinking the credential is watered down. In their defense however, there are some hiring managers who want to see that piece of paper, and in my experience those managers (with exceptions) usually aren't the best to work with. CCNP's are better, but at this point you'd better be picking a speciality. CCIE's are pretty much baller. When I looked last (a few months ago), there wasn't a single person on the PLANET who was CCIE-W(ireless) certified. I think the heady days of getting your CCIE and having a job offer from Cisco before you leave the building are done, but 100K is about right for a salary range when you are done. If you're financing it yourself though, you can expect to drop about 15K when it's all done for just the CCIE. You will not pass the lab on the first try, and most likely not the second either. Either way, the common thread to all these responses is EXPERIENCE. Go on ebay and buy some old Cisco gear like a old PIX firewall, a 2600 router, 3500 switch, and build your own network with VPN. Play around, try some stuff, break some stuff, then you'll be in a LOT better position to start taking exams.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Family budgets aren't the same as governmental budgets. Go find a macroeconomics professor and tell them that, he/she will punch you in the face.

And for putting together a rational, concise argument you (and your cause) can be taken a lot more seriously than OMGIMSOANGRY!!!!!!!. Thank you. I agree with a lot of your points, but as a little point of advice I'd stay away from the "well he makes a lot more money than me! he must be overpaid!" argument as it usually comes across as jealousy, especially when you are making a false comparison (comparing the Congressional House Speaker when you should have been comparing the Ohio/Wisconsin House Speaker).

What was the reason the union gave for their actions? It's a lot easier to understand your argument if you give the whole story.

Coming from someone who openly propagates fearmongering messages, I find this to be quite ironical. Hearing "isnt this the time for spreading the wealth" from someone who constantly railed on raising taxes for the wealthy is like playing in playpen balls of hypocrisy.

There's a worthy cause. I'll match that, as well as administer the kick in the ass.

That engraving looks retarded. Why not have an "America, FUCK YEAH!" engraved on there?

It would appear it's swinging the other direction: instead of recalling the Democratic Senators, the people are just starting the recall process against 8 Republicans that are eligible to be recalled. They only need 3 to regain Dem control in the Senate. That's the beauty about recalls, the representatives were elected by the people and can be removed by the people. It's not a employer-employee thing where the employer can chop you at will. This is what the people want.

so...much...impotent...rage... Why don't you spend a little less time angry and a little more time articulating why you're angry.
