I fully expect Chop to have his diamond back, TomO's suspension wiped from the database logs, and everyone saying Shit and Fuck and posting boobs when I get back.
@pauska: Let me talk to the community team first. They know a lot more about this side of things for our engine in general. I will stay in the loop to keep an eye on any special SA aspects. In general they operate on Meta so it should all be transparent
@BartSilverstrim Someone started pushing @Chopper3, he didn't like it. (Can't blame him). The the m.SF post came and thing got worse and worse from there on.
i have remote access to my windows server 2008 r2(DNS-IIS-FTP-MAIL),
please see the link below for my web site :

how can i fix the error below in my server :

...wow. Don't know if my opinions worth anything or not...probably not without offending someone or other. (reading the inactive mode meta question...)
A comment about being in chat instead of modding? I would see something "off", come here and drop a comment, two minutes later Chopper would have closed it out or weighed in...
@BartSilverstrim As I've said before, I'm sure that everyone who has complained / flagged / whatever has done so with the best of intentions but we've ended up worse off because of the outcomes, imo.
I hear about CHAOS team/community leaders, but if it weren't for the primary site listing those positions and the podcast mentioning them, I'd not know about any community management people at SX, to be honest. But I also primarily hang in SF and the SF chat...
The last podcast was the first time I found an answer to some of what their jobs entail (although it sounds like it focuses on developing A51 sites a lot of the time.)
@BartSilverstrim I made a very flippant comment in the style of a spurned politician / kids tv presenter Which I now realise was wrong. Except it wasn't.
@TomOConnor Look on the bright side, at least you can say you've offended someone enough to be suspended from chat. You've joined me in the "I got suspended from SF.Chat" club.
Proposed Q&A site for a site for medical professionals, sex educators, counselors, and others to discuss both the physical and emotional aspects of sexual and/or romantic interactions.
As the proposed site is likely to be of more interest to adults, and there are even some adults who may not want to come across this site accidentally, the proposed site will have two unique features:
A "warning" page requiring you to confirm that you are over 18 before you enter the site (this...
@BartSilverstrim You missed all the flaming that guy did, I only caught some of it cause it got deleted fast. One including saying the US is full of pregnant 13 yr olds
The Adventures of Pete & Pete is an American children's television series produced by Wellsville Pictures and broadcast by Nickelodeon. The show featured humorous and surreal elements in its narrative, and many recurring themes centered on two brothers both named Pete Wrigley, and their various interactions with family, friends, and enemies.
The show was created by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi and began as minute-long shorts in 1989 that aired in between regular programs. Owing to the popularity of the shorts, five half-hour specials were made, followed by a regular half-hour series t...
I wish I could find something higher than 240p quality. I would really love to re-watch it now that I'm much older and understand more, the show was so awesome
@MikeyB Which is why it's not creepy for me, as she is 4 years older than me >=D
@KyleBrandt An argument broke out between someone and a mod, a post was posted on meta about modding the chat better. Another argument broke out between aforementioned user and another user. Things got flagged.

someone sticky it so that we don't have to keep explaining xD
Just in awe... If you're ever getting mad at someone you only know over the internet, you need to take 2 seconds, get some prospective and a deep breath; before starting a flame war that wont help anyone.
@voretaq7 I kept waiting for you to show up earlier during the shitstorm and somehow make a giant metaphor out other mods banning people in this room and compare it to Linux bastardizing Unix things.
IE9 was being a PITA as usual, so I disabled the snowmen there for now. I'll try to get it to work when I have the time; until then you'll have to live with a snowball.
This stuff is exactly why I don't do moderating stuff anymore. I got enough hassle raising my 2 kids and training a mid-20s Paduan up into a respectable sysadmin.
If I change my name on main and search for my chat posts in chat transcripts, I assume the old transcripts do not update with my new name. Can anyone confirm that. Maybe DJ Pon3?
@voretaq7 that might be your loophole to showing off your epeen without them finding you being a dildo in chat.
^in reference to the link Iain posted in his meta question
@MarkM honestly I don't view cursing in chat as a thing - and I'm adding my own answer to that meta as time permits today :-)
The only problem with OS X is the disk "scheduler". Worst. Secretary. Ever. She lets everyone come in to the office and wait for you, but doesn't tell you they're waiting.
I keep getting calls from vendors. I'm happily finally seated across the table from them, and will never go back unless they offer me so much money that they need to invent a new word for it.
Yeah, I heard that. We run PeopleTrak, Sage FundRaising and Sage Accounting here for about 20 admin staff. It's all accessed through LTSP, so that I don't have to hear whining about our web app not rendering properly on IE.

@MarkM that's the problem. I'm usually one of the first people to vote to close stuff. I wouldn't want to be mod-hammering posts, so by my own ethical guideline I'd have to wait until there was at least a 3/5 majority before I stepped in.

unfortunately I can't find the *Are You Being Served?* clip from the christmas party episode. Rumbold: "...and that Captain Peacock pursued her very vigorously with his blow-tickler." Peacock: "I object sir! I pursued *everyone* with my blow-tickler!"
I'm currently in the middle of a process to specify and design a new server environment for graphics and video rendering.
We know we want to use blades, and we're pretty sure of our vendor decisions.
We've got one massive problem, and that's power.
At the moment, we're looking at getting more ...
We built web applications which create a fair amount of transactional emails, such as tickets, reminders and logging messages. These emails are typically sent to end users, but most of them are also sent to users inside the client organisation, directly or via Bcc.

This is commonly referred to as "Unix sex": $ who | grep -i blonde | head | nice | talk | date cd ~ ; wine ; unzip ; touch ; strip ; finger ; mount ; gasp ; yes ; uptime ; umount ; make clean ; sleep
@MikeyB [man gasp](http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/Linux/gasp.1.html) @TomOConnor: I never built that before or have seen it running recently, but can't imagine it being more energy-efficient - you get losses for dual conversions (down to 48V from AC and a rather expensive DC/DC conversion) and losses in power rails - for mere 2,000 W of power you would need immense 71 Ampere in current. You would not have to deal with wattless current though and it might be okay from the losses perspective if you are using online USVs running at the same internal voltage.
@BeamingMelBin off-topic? :-) (actually I'm not sure - it's kind of a process/procedure/management question which are sometimes on-topic and sometimes not...)
but to kinda answer your question, I refuse to work in organizations like the first one you described where everyone has their own little fiefdom -- One guy quits and the whole world falls apart. A good systems team has lots of shared knowledge, great documentation, and (of course) KITTENS.
@voretaq7 yea, I suppose it might be. can you suggest anywhere else to put that up? I'd love to hear SF users' input
@voretaq7 yea, I'm kind of in between. I do not have the experience a lot of you gents and ladies have had. in one way, I liked "owning" a subject matter.... but yea, coverage is important.
I met Tom at LISA Boston last week, and thanked him for writing the Limoncelli Test. It helped me get the job I just started this week, by really condensing my questions and discussions during my interview
@ScottPack That's the crappy part about working in mental health with a chem. dependency unit. All the buildings are dry and no "weapons" either. Even pocket knives are kinda wink 'n' nod.
@TomOConnor it's not my area of expertise, so consider it not an answer but rather an educated guess. BTW: 48V DC PSUs are expensive. The HP 437573-B21 costs three times as much as its AC counterpart 578322-B21
@AdrianK I really enjoy the culture and freedom of working at a university. However, being a state agency does put a damper on our secular seasonal gathering potlucks.
@mfinni Love me some TPS&NA. You mentioned "bad practices", did you mean practices Tom recommended but aren't a good idea, or simply examples of what not to do?
