If you use any of those and you work in IT you deserve whatever happens to you. Hate to be mean, but good grief.

Create him two accounts, one for normal use, then a second with administrative rights. You should do the same thing for you and not use the built in account.

I really need to start doing this!!!

It pissed me off for a while but once you start using it you realize (or at least I did) how many potentially sketchy as frig things you do on a computer every day

Currently drooling and dozing off, had a miserable sleep and today I may exist purely to crack jokes on the interwebs.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP!! That is 20million hits a month! THANK YOU MANGOS!!

20kk hits ain't from us posters I'll tell you that much for sure. Vibrant lurker population ahoy.

Ever touched a cable and got that... tingly feeling? This cable connects up to our switches indoors that run PoE, full blast, through the building for our phone system.

There's a user who has been warned to hide from me for the next few months.

Without IT, I'd just be a good looking, smooth talking, talented musician who can cook like a maf. Oh, I forgot modest.

I'll bill you for the keyboard that just got covered in my coffee

@MattSpeller We appreciate you considering us and giving us an opportunity for your business! If we can't match on servers, don't leave us out of parts deals. I know we own some things so well that even Dell would have to take a loss to be competitive.

1. my pleasure, thank you for supporting this forum which I value

2. absolutely, we're a non-profit shop and you best believe we are bargain hunters

"Art's Encyclopaedia to Putting Up with Morons"

I'd watch that purely to throw beers at my TV when you show the example cases.

Here,... hold my beer

No problem hurls it at TV

IIRC scripts that send 14, 7, and 3 day notices by email

Out of no where I just got a date with a smoking hot well educated lady. Today is a good day.

I figured out what was wrong.

Troubleshooting is how I figured out what was wrong.

Whole IT team is unwell, I put a sign on my door that reads:

Beware all who enter this plague ridden den: today would be a good day to submit your tickets from a distance.

Has there been any proof that radiation effects your sleep? I haven't seen any evidence for it (and lots against it). I have heard about EM radiation at very high levels that would mess with sleep... but that doesn't normally happen.

At very high levels it literally cooks you so....

Indeed, there are even appliances these days using cavity magnetron's to produce 1000's of watts of RF! Unbelievably these appliances work to harvest the natural organic frequency of dihydrogen monoxide molecules which are induced to vibrate!

Can you believe people would use these things? To heat up FOOD? Some are even going on to feed this food to children!!!

"The catch is that, when you pass a GPU through to VM, the environment for the GPU changes a little bit. For one thing, the driver can’t see the rest of the machine, to respond to its configuration or to tune things up. Second, access to memory works a little differently when you turn on an I/O MMU, changing timings and such. So the GPU will tend to work if the machine’s BIOS has already set up the GPU optimally, and this limits the machines that are likely to work well with GPUs. Basically, these are servers which were built for hosting GPUs. They’ll be the sorts of things that the salesman wants to push on you when you use words like “desktop virtualization” and “rendering.” When I look at a server, I can tell whether it was designed for GPU work instantly, because it has lots of long (x16) PCI Express slots, really big power supplies and fans that make a spooky howling sound."

Best technical description ever.

Came in for christmas maintenance only to find the place is jumping and full of staff... I'm not sure if they're all hiding from their families or what, but I'm going to start powering shit off like I just don't care

I just received this email.

Not sure what their point is in rebranding.

I could... but I'm not.

Confusion?

Strange new branding... At least they didn't name it "G Spot".

That would have been amazing! With the "cloud" to "butt" chrome plugin think of the possibilities....

That thread is getting a lot of love, was not expecting that!

I don't think @MattSpeller was expecting that either... lol

Pleasantly surprised.

I think SW could use a forum expectations / community guidelines kinda thing.

Expect to have your ideas challenged in a professional manner and strive to learn with the community the best way of doing something. Use the search function or be fed to spice-rex.

Edit: when you hit "send" to post a question it should display a search result of your topic / post and ask if you're REALLLY sure you want to ask again about RAID5.
