6/26    6-12 month internships available at Cisco. See
        /csua/pub/jobs/Cisco.METBU.Intern. Also see /csua/pub/jobs/Cisco.METBU
        for available full-time positions. - asaddi
        \_ Obwaitwhileithinkofhowicanbelittleyouandyourjobadvertisement
           \_ Please be gentle. It's my first time.
        \_ If you hope to be in the ESPP program or get Options
           that day and age is over @ cisco. I got ESPP but I was
           an intern over 3 yrs ago. Also the intern to full time
           conversion has fallen off over the years. The interns
           also get pretty shitty work conditions.
           \_ I heard some weird shit about Cisco being
              first-come-first-serve for cubicles each day. Is it true?
              \_ Probably true for sales people.
              \_ Not for engineers. Some of the one who have been
                 there for several years do have enough clout (and
                 stock) to randomly ask for a new office or a extra
                 cube. The best I saw is when a VP got kicked out of
                 his office cause he pissed off one of the guys whose
                 badge # is less than 200. Very Cool that engineers
                 have that kind of power. (The VP sucked too).
              \_ Cisco, what a silly company.
                 \_ With incredibly self-defeating HR hiring and retention
                    policies... - BTDT
                 \_ With a (formerly) great ESPP and Options program. The
                    problem is that most old timers view the new comers as
                    leaches only interested in the $'s, so there is a lot of
                    bad blood between new hires and the project leads.
                    \_ well, if cisco created something rather than buying
                       90% of their new technology...
        \_ can I order any Cisco Press book for free?

        Google Wave No More. The people who worked on it were pretty smart.
        They wrote up a super awesome OKR with extremely low bar as a measure
        of success, exceeded everyone's expectations by going above those
        bars, and got big fat bonuses and promotions as a result of their
        planning. Brilliant.

9/20    I am running NAT on an Extreme Networks switch connected to a
        Cisco switch at GigE speeds. Copying a file across the same link
        w/o using NAT gets about 25 MB/sec, but with NAT turned on I get
        2.5 MB/sec. The CPU is 98% idle and there is plenty of RAM. I know
        that NAT in s/w has an overhead but could it realistically be a
        factor of 10 slower?

3/13    I have an actual technical question for the motd. Where can I find
        the generic Cisco-style symbols for Visio 2003? For some reason,
        M$ pulled them from the recent edition and replaced them with
        their own crappy non-standard ones. I don't mean the icons at:
        http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/prod_visio_icon_list.html
        I mean the generic circle with four arrows for a router, etc. -ausman

12/20   Why the hell does Cisco "The Human Network" advertise on the
        History Channel, and why the hell are they so annoying?
        "... not just network, HUMAN NETWORK!" Dumb shit.

11/13   If I have a application on machine foo sending data really fast to
        an application on machine bar via TCP, and the bar applications job
        is write that to disk as fast as possible, what happens if the
        network stream is faster than the disk writes?
        \_ Look up the differences between TCP/IP flow control and
           congestion control. The answer is in front of you.

10/1    Where's the short Google at 100 guy?
        \_ Me thinks it's a great time to short now.
           \_ Yeah, definitely short it now!  Funny thing about stock
              valuation:  it can sometimes be rational and sometimes
              be irrational.  If everyone hates a stock, and everyone
              shorts it except for a few, and no one who actually owns

10/3    Alright you idiots. I challenge you to list other Google products
        that actually make money besides search and ads. Gmail? No. Maps?
        No. Earth? No. WHAT ELSE?
        \_ Something near 99% of google's revenue comes from search+ads.  There
           is nothing else.  They've been throwing money at random stuff since
           they IPO'd but still have nothing.  Maybe they can buy Skype....

2/5     Any recommendations on local (bay area) used cisco vendors? I'm looking
        for a top of rack gigabit switch...
        \_ 1 switch?  Ebay.
        \_ Northbay Networks in Emeryville
