4/18 Hey does anyone have any experience with a Force10 router? I am thinking about doing some work with one rather than a cisco 6500 ... anyone have any thoughts there? On paper it looks pretty impressive. --psb \_ what is so impressive about it? 10gigE? Cisco 6500, Extreme, and Foundry all have 10gigE linecards. I know a few people working there. They thought cisco couldn't deliver a 10gigE solution and would acquire them. Too bad they were wrong. Nobody will acquire them and they will go out of business. The market for high end ethernet switching is not big enough to sustain 4-5 players. -cisco kid \- cisco is dropping packets causing some tcp session windows to resize down which is causing big hedaches on some bulk data xfers. seems to happen durning ACL churning. have you tested your routers with say 100,000 ACLs rules? we are thinking about extreme for soemthing else ... any thoughts there? and this si coming from a place that used to be close to 100% cisco. --psb \_ ACL churning? The 6500 uses TCAMs for ACLs. So do every high end switch out there. It is impossible for ACL to "churn". Either it's programmed in the HW TCAM entries or it isn't. And there's no way we can fit 100K ACEs in the TCAMs. Are you sure the packet drops aren't legitimate? Something like WRED drops or you're oversuscribing? -cisco kid \_ Try River Stone (http://www.riverstonenetworks.com They should be able to handle your needs and are about 90% cli compatible with IOS (several of the core coders are cisco alumni). -cisco alum |

4/18 Any Belkin OmniView switchbox user have this problem? Once a while the keyboard mapping screws up. The right Ctrl key acts like the Caps Lock key, the Caps Lock key becomes a Ctrl key, and the left Ctrl key and the Esc key don't work. The only way to get out of that is to power-cycle everything. Thanks. -- yuen |

4/18 Any suggestions on a utility that allows you to grab all files that are presented on a webpage file index? (as opposed to right-clicking on every single entry and choosing 'Save Target As') p.s. FTP doesn't work since the site does not accept anonymous login) \_ uh... wget? \_ or webcopy, or pavuk, or any number of such programs \_ damn, beat me to it. I'm saying it anyway! wget. \_ Thanks. - original poster |

4/18 How's the culture different at work between an american and european company in high tech industry? \_ European workers work hard AND play hard. American workers do only either one. Based on my obsrvation. YMMV. \_ what are your referring to with playing hard? Computer games? something else? \_ Drinking, dancing, (=) clubbing til 4am. \_ Europeans work hard? At what? I wouldn't call standing in line at the gov. office for your check from the state hard work. Perhaps you are referring to the grueling 35 hrs/wk plus 2 mos vacation/yr along hard work. \- in my experience a lot of europeans i have met [german and french] are a lot like stanfraud people: they are bright but are interested in working in "glamorous" roles like "making deals" and "architecture" rather than working in the trenches. Curiously the hardcore hackers from France I have met are not "ethnic french". but maybe some of this is a function of their having a telecom and finance orientation. --psb \_ I've worked for French, Swiss, German, and American companies in Switzerland and around Europe, as well as with loads of Brits. The work ethics and styles vary widely--i.e. I've seen the Germans as generally technically bright but aloof from menial shit, the Swiss tend to be great workhorses, but get up to leave at 5 pm sharp (unless in an American company culture), and the English are very punctilious and reliant on rules. It varies widely, what cultural environment someone is in (i.e. a Brit working in a Swiss company, where the hierarchy is pretty low-key, is far more useful than one in the UK, where there's a lot of backstabbing.) In general though I've found Europeans to be a lot less whiny than Americans in their work environments, but once again, this exludes American expats. Also, among all the managers I've worked for, the French have been by far the most agreeable, as they leave you alone if you make them look good. American and English managers in their native environments and corporate cultures are permanently in my shit list. However, with the employees t really depends on the situation. -John |

4/19 I got my USC acceptance letter yesterday. Did anyone else get their letter? - ucla ee guy \_ I didn't get anything... but not too depressed -ucla cs guy \_ USC sucks \_ I'll apply for ucla ee next year and my gpa is low 3, how's my chance? potential ucla ee guy \_ the average GPA for UCLA applicants is 3.5. \_ GPA is just one of many factors. If you have a low GPA you can still get into MIT if you have an awsome GRE, great recs from famous professors, and if you have done good \_ or famous coders (say Dennis Ritche, Ken Thompson, David Korn, Steve Bourne, etc.) \_ Why do people insist on interrupting? publications. \_ ..._And_ wrote a good statement of purpose. \_ Sorry pal, MIT doesn't consider GRE. \_ Is this really true? \_ Yes, it is true. -- rejected from MIT \_ Yes. It was written somewhere in the application material when I tried to apply 9 years ago. \_ I got low 2 GPA, which school i can apply? \_ I didn't know you can stay in the major with low 2? \_ I did it somehow. -geordan \_ On man, this is berkeley, low 2 gpa is like high 3 at other school. \_ Of course you can. Just keep paying tuition and fees. No one gets kicked out if they don't want to be. \_ Really? In my days, you need to pass the majority of classes with a B- or better in order to stay in the L&S CS major. \_ no that was the official policy, it was never strictly enforced. keep paying your bills. \_ Cornell (no min gpa), Chico, Western Nebraska \_ I got 2.9. Is SJSU it worth going? Teachers College, etc. \_ I got high 2 GPA, which school can I apply? \_ SJSU min gpa is 2.75, if you are higher than that you'll get in. \_ I got 2.9. Is SJSU worth going? |

4/18 So I go to the 1940 pop music section and the Andrew Sisters CDs are everywhere. Why are they so particularly famous in the 40s? \_ I don't like that lounge-y stuff --pld \_ They're probably most accessible from the time. They weren't necessarily "so famous" in the 40s. But because of some films and TV connections, that's what we hear when someone brings up the 40s. Give me Lena Horne or Ella any day over the Andrews. --scotsman \_ Photogenic, sang pop music, and conveyed images of "the girl back home" to lots of GIs. Lots of movie/newsreel/magazine exposure. |
