It does It's kinda nice to go back to some of the smaller milestones and go through that process again.

You could always do barter - like your price for an hour of tech support is gonna be a case of beer. That straddles the line between friendly favor and business transaction.

So SAM - what's the generic title for a jack-of-all-trades IT person then?

Who does Systems and Network Administration for a majority of their time.

Yeah, or who just does everything IT - the lone IT person at an SMB.

The old title that seemed to be standard around 2000 when the market was booming was "LAN Admin" - the person who managed all the devices on the LAN but generally ran only a single office. It's a generalist title. I never liked it, but it was standard and never overlapped with any enterprise titles.

I prefer something like IT Admin, IT Generalist, SMB IT Generalist. Admin and Generalist are really the core "type" components that seem to need to be in the name. Nothing that singles out servers, networks or other non-majority job component should exist unless doing that job as the majority.

I could go for IT Admin for @hobbit666. It recognizes that his tasks have administration elements to them, but are general to IT.

And then, of course, levels like "Senior" and "Lead" can preface that still.

A lot of the research on this has found that it is psychological. When they test these people in a double-blind situation, they allergy goes away. It looks like this century's version of Morgellons.

Maybe Webroot should have a tweet for everytime that it is blocked!

Now that is a great idea!

Refresh? Why? So I have to re-learn a UI again, just so the site can appear "trendy"? F[moderated] that shit.

Kind of funny, but at least it lets you know that the decryption works

Also, TL;DR - HGST is still da man when it comes to failure rates.

Might be a shorter list if you went with things that don't get deep-fried in Texas
