    My other half doesn't like to watch movies with me because of this. It's not that I pause the movie, but I scream at the plasma. She tells me to leave my geek at work. icon_sad.gif

    That company, dealing with secure transactions, has one of their edge routers named "Router"?

    Besides, since when do you have to type "Router(config)#" before a command? And if this place is so secure, why did they not have to use a telnet/ssh password? Or an enable password? Wonder if he purposely didn't want to save his config? lol

    Ok, I'm done complaining.

    LOL, this drive me crazy as well. Lets see what shows I can think of off the top of my head:

    1. 24 (ridiculous)
    2. NCIS (Beyond ridiculous)
    3. NCIS Los Angeles (This season the resident Geek says he turned off the Internet for five minutes)

    Anyone else got some to add to this list? icon_wink.gif

    I used to watch CSI, but after learning more I couldn't take it anymore. All the flamboyant, hollywood BS got to me.

    I paid to see it in theaters for the same reason. I was highly disappointed and pissed that I wasted my money.

    You look up the IP and ASN for every site you visit. Then you find their transit and check latency.

    Love this thread. I'm guilty of several of these.

    and thats exactly what I thought when watching Firewall - queue a lot of pausing, rewinding, complaining and laughing at the TV. It is also exactly the reason why the missus made me turn it off and go and watch it by myself on the PC upstairs :)

    You might be a network person if you cannot explain what you do at work on a daily basis to anyone besides the great folks at TE.

    It took my wife over a year to understand what I did at my NOC job. I asked her what do you tell people I do if you don't understand it? She said it didn't matter cause those people wouldn't understand it either.

    Lol...pretty funny. I gave up trying to explain what I do, or what a switch or router is. I have the same answer nowadays..."I work in IT". One time my GF uncle asked me what I did and I said "work in IT" and he replied "what is IT" icon_surprised.gif

    I recently watched Jurassic Park again for the first time in a long time. I actually admire the attempt at actually making the technology sound proper. I had no idea they tried.

    Most movies there is a magical interface that you can do everything in the click of 1 button. Or a hacker gets to a login prompt and elbows the keyboard and it's hacked somehow.

    However, the worst part of it was when the girl gets to the computer when the raptors are attacking and says "Gasp! It's UNIX! I know this!" Then starts clicking her way around a GUI....

    I say I make the internet work for my company. People usually shut up then, and I don't get clumped into the help-desk arena.

    I'm a little more flippant. I usually say I keep the internet running so people can get their ****, twitter, and facebook.

    That's gotten some... interesting reactions.

    Nobody wants to hear about my daily struggles integrating our network with that of a Fortune 500 company, or the pain in the rear that FFEIC compliance is. But everyone understands facebook and ****.
