JokeTribe - THE Best Humor Archive of Funny Jokes

San Jose, California, September 8, 1995 -- Cisco Systems, Inc., (NASDAQ: CSCO), the leading global supplier of internetworking solutions, today announced their agreement with San Francisco, CA to rename the city. Coming on the heals of the 3COM/Candlestick agreement, the city has agreed to roll over again and accept $5,000,000.00 over a period of 5 years to have the name shortened to cisco, CA.

According to a company spokesman, "When we saw how easily the city of San Francisco had rolled over for the 3COM deal, we knew we had an excellent opportunity. The chance to reinforce cisco's presence in the networking community and the world at large is something that we just couldn't pass up. For the price, it's quite a steal."

3COM officials declined to comment on a report that they had tried to

block the deal due to their concern that 3COM Park (formerly Candlestick Park) would now be located in cisco, CA.

"With the number of national and international visitors, TV coverage, and the 1999 Superbowl to be held in the newly renamed city, cisco will continue to extend its reach into every facet of the networking world" said the spokesman. "We are proud of the outstanding accomplishments of our employees and partners in fiscal 1995 and we see this as an excellent opportunity to reward them for their dedication."

Cisco Systems, Inc. is the leading global supplier of enterprise networks, including routers, LAN and ATM switches, dial-up access servers and network management software.

The difference between web surfing with IE and Firefox is the difference between body armor and a trendy cotton vest

 

We've all heard the stories. Stories about innocently searching the internet with Internet Explorer when, all of a sudden, all the alarms are going off with your virus scanner. Programs are installing themselves. Warnings about Smitfraud-C, SpyAxe, and Vcodec are popping up on your screen.

And some of us have had firsthand experience. Firsthand experience that has led us away from IE and to other browsers like Firefox.

And why is that? Well, virus writers are generally going to be trying to get the most bang for their buck, ,just like everyone else. That's why. And IE currently provides them with that. It still has the largest market share, likely due in large part that it comes preinstalled on most computers.

But just because it's preinstalled doesn't mean you have to use it and expose yourself to all the spyware and virii targetted to it. You can do what an ever growing portion of users out there are doing. You can switch to
