Shocked. Shocked I say. :-)
Can't stand the guy. He says "I" or "me" even more than our fearless leader. I watch his interviews and wonder if he's interviewing himself, or someone else.
I agree fully.
It's already there. Down by almost 1/2 in the past year or so. They made some pretty bad decisions (what the hell does a "Flip" camera have to do with network gear?) but they're divesting themselves of the issues.
Cisco is probably a pretty good investment right now. Social Commentary aside, the conventional wisdom in IT is that "No one ever got fired for buying Cisco, EMC, or IBM".
And, again - this story aside - I can vouch for the fact that Cisco employs an awful lot of solid conservatives. Smart network engineers don't grow on trees, and in general, don't graduate from "Liberal Studies" programs, either. :-)
“Tolerance: The inability to say Yes or No. The inability to take a stand.”- A Great Historian 1888. It is a constant demand that only the Christian white heterosexual male be “tolerant.” The dirty little secret is the fact that the coalition of blacks, homosexuals, alien invaders and non-christians, currently trying to gain control, are scared to death that white straight male will wake up and fight back. That fear is why one gets all these goofy acts and rules they are trying petty little terrors to aquire and maintain control. Time will tell whether or not they will succeed.
Confirmiong once again that ‘Cisco’ is Spanish for ‘bend over’.
I work in a hospital and believe me with all them hot nurses running around I would love to have sex at work. DUCKING MY WIFES SHOE! Missed me Bi-—!
The day is coming...and it won't be pretty. There is a limit to patience and the buffeting of constant abuse. You don't want to be on the wrong end of that disagreement.
Well...that's true of pretty much any technical support. :-)
I've generally had good dealings with them, but I've worked within enterprise-level agreements. I'm getting the top engineers, not just phone-answerers and script-readers.
Dell is much the same way. If you call in on your home PC, you'll get India or China and their solutions are always half baked (You already reboot? Oh. Well please to wait while I ask supervisor....). They put all of their top American techs on the Server-level (corporate-type) teams, and for the most part, these guys are pretty decent.
Ain't saying that it's right, I'm just saying what they do. Makes sense to put their top staff where the money is, figure that I just placed a business order for $75K worth of Dell equipment, and that's not an infrequent occurrence. I doubt that I'll buy $75K worth of home PC equipment in my entire lifetime.
I am offended by the constant promotion of homosexuality by my employer. It creates an atmosphere of intimidation and intolerance for my religious beliefs. I don’t believe it is the role of a business to extol ANY particular sexual activity. It is a BUSINESS after all!
Where do I go to file my complaint?
I’m with you. I hope He comes down and ends it tonight.
You know what though? It could get so much worse than what it is now. Travel in a third world country or get a load of what The Final Solution looked like in Germany in the 30’s and 40’s.
It’s going to get a whole lot worse.
So much of it, truly, is just becoming disposable. I saw mini-laptops at Target just the other day, on sale for $149. At that price, it's cheaper to throw away than have fixed, or even waste your own time on fixing.
Amazing, to me at least. First "portable" that I worked on weighed 50-75 lbs and sold for upwards of 5 grand. It was portable, only in the broadest sense of the word, lol. Needed two men and a small gorilla to move the thing around.
Hehehe..you said blow-back...hehehe...
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Ah, the Compaq “luggable” with the keyboard that fastened over the screen. I used one in law school (mid-80s) and was one of very few people who had access to a computer. My dad, who graduated a few years before I did, bought an IBM PC for ten grand when they first came out because he was a one-man office. A great head start in those days.
Colonel, USAFR
What happened to the Zampolit on the Red October?
I say make Cisco pay for their left wing “political correctness” Nazism. Try to spread the word and hurt their business model. Their “diversity” policy is aimed only at the sodomites and those who defy the very God of nature. It’s gone too far, folks. Ann Coulter says that liberalism is a mental illness and we are the only ones with a cure.
