Re: CCIE lab does and don't

That would be ripe for abuse, though! There would be no way for
proctors to know whether or not it was white noise you were listening
to or a nice overview of mcast configuration and troubleshooting.

I travel for a living and so I carry around noise-canceling headphones
everywhere I go. I don't think they would have done a lot of good in
the lab environment. I guess they would have knocked down some of the
fan noise (I don't think that's an issue anymore is it? And even if
it were to be, most of us are totally impervious after years of
working in rooms full of noisy gear.) But it wouldn't have done
anything about all the ringing from the voice candidate pods (I had
one right next to me but I was so intently focused I barely noticed).
I wish consumer noise-canceling technology was that far along because
then it could drown out screeching babies and blabbering morons on
airplanes too but we don't seem to be even >close< to that milestone...
