I'm posting this from my wireless laptop (at home, I have a router + switch + 802.11b AP in my appartment - but also campus is covered in them!)

I will be able to work on some of the less intensive things from class such as FS Dev Studio and fs2netd - i will also be more available to ask questions

I don't think FS2 will run on this though, I'll just have to set how it works out when all the updates and stuff are applied. It does have a rage mobility 2x agp w/ 8mb of it's own memory...

[fyi: it's a thinkpad a20m with the 700mhz, w/o DVD - current ram 128mb - i have a 256mb SODIMM on the way]

Good. Maybe you can finish that while you're bored in class.

Kazan · **Reply #4 on:** January 13, 2004, 09:00:03 pm

Taristin · **Reply #5 on:** January 13, 2004, 09:03:14 pm

That's what I meant.

yes, but the chairs in that specific lecture hall are padded, and therefore comfy.

at least you can understand what he says. The Data Structures Prof is an unintelligible Apu.

Sweet. I can never recommend those IBM Thinkpads enough. Best laptops ever, in my opinion. I used a T20 (think corporate version of the A20) and a T30 (think of your A20 with 512mb RAM, 1.3gig RAM, 1840x1440 display and a DVD+CDRW combo and builtin aironet). I miss working at Cisco more because I had to give up my T30 than for the pay (actually I do miss the pay). Oh, and FreeBSD ran like a DREAM.

Damn you Kazan, for making me bitter over my lost laptop.

yes but becase they fired you they got to save the pay they would have given you, wich caused ther profits to go up wich raised ther stock wich I am heavily invested in, investing primaraly in Cisco has given me 5 times what the broker recomended, in one year I've doubled my capital

phreak · **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2004, 10:34:37 pm

note to self. gamble college money using the stock market.

Kazan · **Reply #14 on:** January 13, 2004, 10:50:45 pm

lol @ phreak

Bobboau · **Reply #15 on:** January 13, 2004, 10:53:08 pm

wait untill it's REAL low, like after a major military/terrorist strike and/or at the peak of a huge financhal resesion that cuts the value of the market in half (or near it). then just invest $200 a month for a year or two, voiala instant retierment

honestly I nearly creamed my pants when I saw dow 7,500

Bastard. Actually, Cisco isn't saving any money in this case. I was on contract. Mine ended and they brought in another contracter in a different position, for the same pay. Cisco is paying the contracting company exactly as much now as they did before my contract ended ($500k/yr for 6 warm bodies. They would actually pay LESS if they HIRED the six warm bodies directly.)

Liberator · **Reply #17 on:** January 14, 2004, 12:57:33 am

Yes but think of all the money their saving by not having to administrate 6 extra bodies.

mikhael · **Reply #18 on:** January 14, 2004, 02:41:06 am

Um. Actually, they do. They have a manager who IS on the Cisco staff who has to manage them. If you're talking about the HR end of things, well, six more bodies isn't that much of a load on the ladies and gents that run the place.

I'm actually surprised that Bob's making a profit on Cisco stock. Most of the permanent employees can't cash in their stock options because the stock is currently worth less than their options are. They'd be paying $50 for $15 stock.

Ah well, I hated the place anyway. It was the least interesting job I've ever had, and that includes working in Taco Bell.
