What if you owned it only so you could flash the firmware to put whatever you wanted to on it :p

There are always exceptions! Did you drop some Cisco IOS on it? ;)

I don't remember what flavor of something I threw on an old box. I've since gone to a tight little Untangle box that sits in front of my Firebox :P

Which is also a project id like to throw a gallon of gas on and throw the match at it..

Quote you out of context? You stated that Cisco produces Linksys, in effect making the implication they were of the same caliber. At least that is what I took from it. Cisco produces Linksys about as much as HP produces Compaq.

Anyway, no - it isn't that ironic, since most people who are involved with Cisco enterprise products on a professional basis know that Cisco is still Cisco and Linksys is still Linksys. Big difference. Just because it may say "Linksys by Cisco" on the box and have the Golden Gate Bridge logo on it, doesn't really matter.

enterprise grade hardware is always going to be better than consumer grade not just with routers, it's not really fair to compare the 2. Most people aren't dropping $500+ for a router in there house lol.

Keep reading Gwence, I pointed that out in a later post. ;)

Then again, my home network is better than most small businesses, heh.

I know exactly what you mean. I got away from that after I had a little IPCop box go up in flames.

Admittedly, most of my stuff I "acquired" here and there from cohorts in the business, from infrastructure upgrades. I mean, what are you going to say when a buddy calls you up and says "Hey, remember that money I owe you? Well, we had a 6108 with a bad port and HP sent us replacement with a couple of SX GBICs, but we're going with a E4200 Series Modular instead. Its new in the box. You want it?"

Student Loans are defaultable.

Lets just take a look at your original quote which suggests that people can somehow discharge or be able to escape their student loans, a claim that is 100% false.

Miss a few student loans:

-Wage garnishment by a court order
-Suspension of state professional licenses
-Garnishment of social security/disability income
-Withholding IRS tax refunds

There is no statute of limitations, you WILL pay your student loans, even if it has to be deducted from your social security checks or those of your cosigner

You will never escape your student loans or be able to discharge them.
