@RoryAlsop I was past the point of sun in my eyes during commuting, now I'm back to that nonsense. Although wednesday I start a new job and I'm going to be working from home mostly, so no more sun in eyes commuting.
@AviD Copy and paste any text or data from any MS product to any other, or between pages or sections, and it buggers up formatting (sometimes permanently)
when trying to get my cash card replaced after a hungry ATM incident on Saturday, it took ages to find the right contact number. Once I finally spoke to the guy, he told me it is written on my card!
@RoryAlsop no that's true . My experience is that it's documents that have been around for a long time that are the worst. they seem to accumulate bits of formatting that are hard to get rid of...
An example I had on Friday - a paragraph copied over had the wrong indentation. Format painter used from prefvious paragraph didn't sort indentation. And ruler didn't have any indication. Also no further left move allowed for the indent tool
IN the end I had to send it to our 'team that does this thing'
@RoryAlsop this sounds like you were formatpasting just the word, and the paragraph. next time move the mouse all the way to the border on the left, and point to the whole paragraph.
actually they're probably all drunk and trying to emulate the irish riverdancing, but didnt have any music available so they took turns banging metal pipes on the chainlink fences.
@raz Well, technically, any PCI slot can support any other PCI device. Ex: a x8 can do a x4 or a x2 or even a x1 slot. I think the only exception to this rule is x16 GPU slots
@RоryMcCune So Syscan was always around the late March, early April period.
Last year, Blackhat Asia was announced (after being away from the region for a couple of years) about a week before Syscan. The Syscan timings were known long ago.
This year they organized it on the exact same days as Syscan.
I'm still hoping they will change their minds though. It's really the best con in the region. And the way they treat volunteers really is unmatched imo.
@RоryMcCune Yeah, plus the volunteers eat the exact same food (pretty expensive hotel buffet lunch), can attend all the talks, have access to all the alcohol same as the actual paying attendees.
I mean, it's literally a 2k conference pass for just a few hours of work the day before the conference, a few hours before it starts and an hour or so after it ends.
@RоryMcCune You saw Alex Ionescue's slides on Hyper-V yet?
@TerryChia aww. I'm actually planning to make more use of Hyper-V going forward, I don't get the sense that VMWare are really very interested in workstation as a product any more
they've had a breaking bug for Shared folders with linux 3.13 as a guest for a month and a half now which is lame
@TerryChia You can do something crazy things to get Wireshark. We've got VMs going, and with some crafty scripting we can get Wireshark to sniff any link on the virtual network.
@raz I'd agree certainly on the UI side, but it seems that much of the core functionality is comparable - certainly the vmx format is fairly common and the underlying options it exposes seem to be fairly common
In any case, I love workstation
I also have a lot of time for Xen, although I've only really looked at the kernel codebase (which is really clean).
