user_a  : user_x, what is your question?
user_x  : user_a,  I would like to know if anyone used MPLS on linux
user_a  : user_x, yes. anyone has. google for 'MPLS Linux'
user_a  : this is not google.
user_a  : this is SPARTA!
user_a  : well. maybe not sparta, but not google either.
user_x  : user_a, let me ask it better: did you ever used it ?
user_a  : not on Linux, no
user_x  : ok.
user_b  : user_a: A basar comes close tho..
user_a  : user_b, perhaps. could I interest you in a fine hand made carpet?
user_a  : special price only for you my friend
user_a  : woven out of silk made of kernel developers
user_b  : user_a: Does it fly and grand me a princess? You haven't found it in some cave alongside amounts of gold and a lamp have you?
user_a  : bah! this is open source carpet! if you don't like it, make your own!
user_a  : also, my friend specializes in such.. special carpets.
user_b  : silk "made of kernel developers" so their beards serve an economic purpose?
user_a  : please step into the back room, we may discuss there
user_a  : not just their beards! all parts are used!
user_a  : even people working on usb webcam drivers finally have proper use!
user_a  : touch the carpet my friend! feel the kernel!
user_b  : user_a: they served a purpose before ...
user_a  : well. I guess the jury is still out on that one :-)
user_b  : ah yes yes... it is so soft and smooth... is this a stable one?
user_a  : (seems like every webcam out there that isn't 5 years old still requires all kinds of thingsmagics to get things running)
user_a  : it is.. relatively stable!
user_a  : notice how the length of the threads is evenly divisible! certainly not the unstable series!
user_a  : divisible by two even
user_a  : I should warn you though, the carpet does not have "stable API".
user_b  : I see... so this was used in a House like sha al ack debian or the high court of gnu before?
user_a  : bah, in the house of GNU they use yacc carpets!
user_a  : yacc. bah!
user_b  : shaven yaccs are of a lower quality? I heard it to be thick and work worthy but never affronted with such distain..
user_a  : but.. they .. weave.. with microkernels!
user_a  : this is blasphemous!
user_a  : also, they have yet to produce a carpet that can be used for anything
user_a  : other than to teach how to weave carpets
user_b  : not blasphemous just easier knittable by their indian labor boys... you know the ones..
user_a  : yes
user_a  : I can almost completely guarantee that the fine kernel carpet you are holding has almost never seen any indian labor boys
user_a  : unless you're willing to.. negotiate price.
user_b  : so once they are tought in the arts one may let them hitch a ride on a puff to the weavers in linuxia let them labor on centossian kernels...
user_a  : oh, those centossians are such free loaders!
user_a  : they expect other people to weave their carpets for them
user_a  : no morale. no.. elegance.
user_a  : it is like the slave camps of The Oracle
user_b  : user_a: but imagine the pain they indure for the quality! reweaving if something was not of absolute purity.. crafty as it may be
user_a  : quality of the weave is in the eye of the beholder my friend!
user_a  : (also, a matter of price=
user_a  : )
user_b  : So what is the price of a centossian 3 patches? 2?
user_a  : 2?
user_a  : does this look like the squirrel liver stall? 2?!
user_a  : normally people sell their nieces for me for training and I can sell them 3 centossian patches for 15!
user_a  : for you my friend, best I can offer is 12!
user_b  : You said they were worthless so I give you a low price !
user_a  : even then my extended family will go hungry for 2 weeks!
user_a  : my family has to eat!
user_a  : also, as we say in .. whatever place we come from.. it isn't expensive, unless you're poor!
user_a  : you are not poor my friend, are you?
user_a  : hmm. coffee time.
user_b  : ney having spent a many patches in my days I should say that I am not so poor indeed
user_a  : and then back to designing the perfect.. carpets.
user_b  : But yes have your coffee
