[asterisk-users] How big is *your* ego?

Seems like we got another person that misses words written in plain English.

Why are you repeating my point?

Wow, you got some talent, last time I checked this thread wasn't about
security, BTW I can kill it with a sledgehammer.

Plenty implies at least 2 burnouts, was that at the same location or
at 2 different ones? and did it only burn out the channel banks or
also some coffee machine? Did you also have a tire blowout at one
point in your life? what about slipping on a banana peel? Keep to the
point, we are *not* talking about cards, we are talking about the
whole system failing because of a lighting. Although I'm sure it has
happened even behind a good surge and/or UPS system. If the whole
building gets hit you are again out of luck.

You are telling me that it was: A. Well regulated B. Well maintained
C. good ventilation, and it died suddenly, without giving you any
hints before hand?
I just don't believe you, I might have on one machine, but I'm not
going to believe you since you said you seen it on every machine. BTW,
have you ever seen a machine that survived everything and was just
taken to the dump because it was outdated and wasn't needed anymore?

No they don't, they give some warnings like too hot.

The above confirms again that you have some dyslexia problems. Read
again: *if the right motherboard is uses*. You obviously aren't using
the right motherboard.

Do you want the answer?

Can you answer the question? Again you seem to miss the point.

That does show for someone that PROFESSIONALLY administrates computers.
