@JoelESalas I like drop bars more. More hand positions, better for hunkering down against a headwind, and looks faster. Flat bars are fine, too, though.
But now it's time to visit the beer store and then go home.
@ewwhite I bought a bike on Craigslist for 50 bucks once. The motherfucker wobbled me right off the first time I tried to ride it. Thankfully the guy gave me my money back
so it's either $50 for wobbles or $600 for an all-new bike bonanza
@JoelESalas It is the single most satisfying thing I have ever done in my life. It's also the hardest, most annoying and expensive. And totally worth it.
@ewwhite: re the vCPUs per physical core stuff, I've heard you shouldn't use more than you have or you won't be able to get a lock on enough cores... or is that out of date / wrong?
i am using some private broadband which gives same external ip address to all it's users.
we want to use the configuration(internal ip,subnet,default gateway,DNS servers) given by ISP inorder to connect to internet. They give a cable for every user from their routers so , we dont need any router...
I have a ubuntu 13.04 server. On it I have a virtual machine (kvm), with Windows 2008 on it.
I have configured /etc/network/interfaces to have a bridged connection to the machine, so I am able to access my MS SQL databases on said virtual machine.
However, I am still not able to connect to it....
LSASS.exe is using 100% CPU usage on my SBS2003 DC.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what's causing it. I've checked the event logs and found a few things. I can't see if any of it is related. Nothing except ActiveSync errors (which started quite some time ago, before this issue has occur...
@Andrew Sometimes that's better than the alternative. I have two Fedora (18) boxes in production, for instance. As for Ubuntu, well, I expect breakage there whether it's an "LTS" or not.
true... more looking at what you wrote on the answer to whatever that question was.
2x HP proliant whatevers (pretty new), 24 cores each, bajillions of RAMs, terabytes of SAN, probably a dozen or so. It's over-engineered by quite a lot, which is nice because it will actually last beyond the 3-4 years that it's scoped for at this point.
@ewwhite I guess what I really want to know is: how can we either find info on this ourselves, or get training on it (that we can keep up to date) - so we don't need to rely on what our vendor drip-feeds us?
or is it the sort of stuff you only need to know if you're a vendor or have large deployments
Does anyone know if I can install normal 2.5" SATA drives inside an HP DL360 G5 server? Right now it has 6 72GB SAS drives. I am looking for raw storage for my files SAS performance in not required.
I have a Linux web server running Apache2 that hosts several websites. Each website has its own folder in /var/www/.

The base directory /var/www/ is owned by root:root. Apache is running as www-data:www-data. The Fabrikam websi...

@ewwhite I've wanted a Thumper for a long while - but wow that would be heavy to ship and also, 250GB drives. Hmm... I'd want to swap them. But stilllllll...
@Andrew Spiffy! Let's put it in production. #DevOps #nofilter #younglife
@ewwhite That's intense, but I do need a mass storage node that I'd like to use as a massive rsnapshot server for everything I touch, including space for customers.
@JoelESalas Secret: I've wanted to lock myself in for two weeks or so and bang out some kind of Glacier backed storage service. I think I've been beat to it though. Plus, I'm always locked in anyway and we all know how productive that's been.
With a name like "DevStack" it *has* to be production ready*
*(For extremely liberal interpretations of 'ready.' Your mileage may vary. Consult a physician before rollout. May cause sudden death by Catastrophic Facepalm Syndrome.)
I seriously don't know what DevStack is but I already want to install it and start selling it to people.
My Experiment
So I set up a simple network with Two computers. Both on the same Work group.
I created a LOCAL user 'A' with pasword 'A' in Computer 1.
And then I created an identical named LOCAL user 'A' with identical password 'A' on Computer 2.
My Observation
What I notice is that when ...
--- This is a really high level summary over-view, don't expect anything technical here ---
Let's get started:
What is this sharing of username and password called?
"By Design"... or more specifically, "pass-through authentication".
How come identical name and authentication bet...
@Andrew New form factors are always a problem for case and accessory designers. They really should have seen that happen
No iPhone case ever fits a new model - only ever revisions within a model
@MarkHenderson a good reason to ignore Apple in general, because they produce a "universal, unchanging product" that always changes and isn't allowed to do what people want
But seriously, every time you give your money to a kickstarter product, you basically should expect not to get it back, and jus tbe happy if you do get something
Yes, it was the first widely accepted smartphone. Yes, it's relatively intuitive and easy to use. But the negative impact it has on people's perceptions of what a smartphone is, and what consumer electronics is in general, is quite damaging.
@MarkHenderson Huh, the museum I worked at was almost purely Xerox except for workhorse HPs that churned out about ten thousand pages a week for innane POs, check printing, etc.
I'm not denying that Apple aren't a very nice company. But their products, however simple and locked in and inflexible they may be - the one undeniable truth is that they fucking work
@Andrew I think it was the CIA? Not sure who the treasury uses. Nevertheless, apparently modern Xerox machines will notify certain interested parties if currency is scanned on some models.
@Andrew fwiw I just want a phone that I can use to make calls, check my email, watch porn and do video calls with my parents (latter two are mutually exclusive). I can do all that, so I'm happy
Someone was doing a newsletter and wanted to have a nice scan of a dollar bill but didn't want to, or have the budget for a simple stock photo. Solution? Scan their own dollar bill!
It's like a restaurant that makes excellent lamb masala, but damnit there's no such thing as rice, no other meats than lamb, and no other way than masala, ok?!
@WesleyDavid Thuis xerox printer was literally printing money is what I'm getting at. It was at a place I was doing my work experience and the Xerox was printing stencils for polymer notes and had a special print head that printed invisible encrypted information
if you work for the US Govt and do stuff during the course of your work, it's Public Domain. That's how Wikipedia gets most of its cool stuff (esp. Air Force and NASA).
"U.S. federal government works are not eligible for copyright protection (17 USC 105). It is not clear whether this applies world-wide -- see the CENDI Copyright FAQ list, 3.1.7 and a discussion on that at the LibraryLaw Blog. The U.S. government themselves state that they "may assert copyright outside of the United States for U.S. government works."[2]"
For fucks sake! I get an email from a client asking for details I don't have "Sorry, I can't answer that for you, i don't know" I replied. So they went and asked my collegue, who also didn't know and asked me. They then escalated it through their ranks. Their departmental manager calls me. "Sorry, I don't know". They call my boss. My boss checks with me. "I DONT KNOW!!!" Client escalates it further. General manager of a multinational public company calls me directly. "I DONT FUCKING KNOW!"
@Andrew Our main Xerox tech for that site was an old war horse and had been with Xerox for I think 20+ years. A few days later he showed up for routine maintenance, unrelated to the scanning incident, and I mentioned it to him. He chuckled and asked if we had been visited. Apparently he had seen some stuff about that.
The banknotes of the Australian dollar were first issued on 14 February 1966, when Australia adopted decimal currency.
Former series (paper)
The $5 note was not issued until 1967. The $1 (10/-), $2 (£1), $10 (£5), and $20 (£10) had exact exchange rates with pounds and were a similar colour to the notes they replaced, but the $5 (£2/10) did not, and so was introduced after the public had become familiar with decimal currency. Notes issued between 1966 and 1973 bore the title "Commonwealth of Australia". Starting from 1974, the title on the new notes only read "Australia" and the legal tend...
@MarkHenderson lol "i think this movie was shot in 3 days, and was made for about eight dollars and fifteen cents. it's loaded with plot holes, anachronisms and 10-14 year old kids delivering cliché, over the top lines that even most adults wouldn't attempt. "
@MarkHenderson People think they want Plaz-Tech when they really just need a petrochemical polymer that does X! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT THIS HAS DONE TO US, MARK!!
@WesleyDavid actually that'd be like "you want styrofoam" when you really just want a spongy non-reactive packaging, even better if it's recyclable. Like polythene foam.
@MarkHenderson You're right, it's exactly the Mac vs. PC thing all over again. Once again, Apple and their fanboys do the whole Jedi mindtrick thing and pretend that no possibilities could be comprehended outside of the One True Apple Way.
I'm not a Google fanboy but the approach they take is (mostly) better than Apple's.
So this is supposed to be really simple, and it's taken from the following picture:
