1:00 PM

haha, why?

Dan

@JennyD I think they're doing it wrong

tombull89

@Cole thanks, I was taking a swig of water when I read that.

Cole

@TomO'Connor is the only man I'd go gay for.

Jenny D

@Dan Exactly

Dan

@Cole I'd go gay for anyone with the right cash

Tom O'Connor

1:00 PM

@Cole I think penises are, on the whole, far better.

s/whole/hole/ ?

Cole

@TomO'Connor yeah vajay-jay's are a black hole. You're not too sure what's going to happen if you go in or what's going to come out.

Jenny D

@Cole I was just reading that convo about genitals and I had to fetch a stepladder to get one of my eyebrows back down

Cole

Anything that can push a human out of it, is disturbing.

Tom O'Connor

@Cole I don't trust anything that bleeds every month.

Michael Hampton

How do you think you got here?

Cole

1:02 PM

@JennyD LOL

@MichaelHampton I was a c-section.

Jenny D

@TomO'Connor So women are trustworthy only if they use hormonal birth control? Interesting...

Tom O'Connor

@Cole Snap.

Michael Hampton

@Cole That explains everything.

Tom O'Connor

@JennyD It's the vagina I don't trust, not the owner.

Cole

@TomO'Connor and grape drank on my keyboard.

Jenny D

1:03 PM

@TomO'Connor Strictly speaking it'd be the womb you don't trust. It's not actually the vagina that's doing the bleeding, not usually in any case.

Tom O'Connor

I've no objection to anyone's vagina, I'd just rather not stick my knob in it.

Cole

XD

Tom O'Connor

@JennyD A general mistrust of wombs.

But...buttholes have poop. I think that's what freaks me out.

Jenny D

1:04 PM

@TomO'Connor I can get behind that. Mine's been ill-behaved for much of my adult life.

tombull89

MARK DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Tom O'Connor

@Cole Never underestimate the protective properties of the male sheath, prophylactic, or good ol' fashioned rubber johnny.

tombull89

aww fuck now that's taking the piss

Cole

@TomO'Connor I mean, I've done it for other people - I'm just not a fan of things in my anus.

Tom O'Connor

@Cole Nor me, particularly.

Jenny D

@Cole lots of people aren't.

Cole

Ugh I have a 3hr meeting about a add-on to Lotus Connections.

Tom O'Connor

@JennyD OTOH, I know some guys (and girls) who love it.

Cole

Someone, please just take me out back and put me out of my misery. It's not worth living in a world with Lotus anything.

@TomO'Connor so do I, my ex gf did.

Jenny D

A friend of mine told me a couple of days ago about an ex-boyfriend who'd pressure her for anal. "But all my previous girlfriends liked it!"
"Darling. Did you ever consider that they might have been *faking*?"
Apparently he didn't like that at all.

Cole

1:07 PM

She tried to persuade me to let her do it to me. NOPE

Jenny D

@TomO'Connor So do I know some. Like with all things, it's a matter of treating people how they like to be treated, not how you yourself would personally like to be treated, if you see what I mean.

Cole

I think I draw the line at scat, water sports and (extreme) pain/humiliation.

Tom O'Connor

@Cole Of all the drawn lines I've seen, that's the most common.

I have a friend who's heavily into urethral play. That's weird, yo. (and a bit scary).

Jenny D

@Cole I don't think I know anybody into the first two. The last one, though - I've got a couple of friends who get off on that. That's something that's kind of hard for me to understand, but as long as everybody is adult and consenting it's their business.

Cole

@TomO'Connor aye. My girlfriend is super vanilla, like does't even like giving oral - I'll generally try anything once though.

@TomO'Connor I just cringed.

@JennyD oh I agree, I have friends who are really into it.

Tom O'Connor

1:09 PM

@JennyD I had an ex who's into the first two.

and another ex who was into puke.

Cole

PUKE!?

Tom O'Connor

yeah.

he was odd.

Cole

gag

Jenny D

@TomO'Connor eugh. Gross. I can not understand that.

Tom O'Connor

@Cole I think that's the point.

Cole

1:10 PM

XD

Tom O'Connor

I just assumed it was a Minnesota thing.

His bff was into it too.

tombull89

Puke/Poop/Piss and I'd be NOPE'ing right out of there.

Tom O'Connor

@tombull89 But not piss? Interesting.

Cole

@tombull89 the three P's.

Also, how did this conversation escalate to this?

Tom O'Connor

@Cole innocent face

Cole

1:12 PM

@TomO'Connor <3

Jenny D

@Cole :-D

Tom O'Connor

@Cole You mentioned enjoying having a flaming butthole.

and it all went downhill from there.

Hennes

1:14 PM

True dat

Cole

For real.

I've experienced the shift to male privilege first hand.

Hennes

I just play the game on its lowest difficulty setting: White, straight cis-male.

2

Cole

@Hennes LOL

Tom O'Connor

@Hennes That made me giggle more than it should've done.

Jenny D

@Hennes I always figured by your username you were female.

@Hennes Also, gotta love Scalzi.

Cole

1:16 PM

I'm a white, straight, trans-male. But since I pass 110% I basically have it really easy.

Hennes

Nope. Male.

Jenny D

@Hennes "Hennes" means "hers" in Swedish.

2

Hennes

Ah.

Cole

Well, that's awkward.

Hennes

That explains why some other poeple on LJ assumed I was female.

Dan

1:17 PM

In better, less sexual (kind of) news, I've just booked my tickets to the Royal International Airshow 2013. Whoops

Jenny D

@Hennes It's really hard to break the habit of trying to gender usernames...

Hennes

My families has a lot of people 'Jan' (UK translation: John).
So my parents decided to break with that and use a completely new name

Needless to say they do not speak Swedish

Jenny D

@Hennes 'Jan' is also quite common in Sweden. Pretty much only for men, though.

Cole

My girlfriend is super Swedish. Well, she's born here but her grandparents were from Sweden I think?

Hennes

I have been to family reunions. 8/10 males present were "Jan Passmann"

Same first and same last name

Confusing as heck

Jenny D

1:19 PM

@Hennes Dutch?

Hennes

Jan, son of Jan, from that Jan.

Yes

Cole

@Hennes wow.

Jenny D

@Cole Lots of people emigrated from here to the US in the late 1800s-early 1900s

Chris S

Cole

@JennyD She's very proud of being Swedish. She really wants to go visit.

Jenny D

1:21 PM

@Cole if the two of you come here I can guide you around Stockholm :-)

Cole

@JennyD sweet! We may be, I'm working on getting my passport.

Chris S

@JennyD Lots of people immigrated to the US in in that time-frame, not just Sweden

Cole

I'm super Irish but everyone thinks I'm Italian :(

Jenny D

@ChrisS I know - it's just that it was a huge depopulation in some parts of the country here

Q: Installing NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Driver on Windows 7

I have a Windows 7 Dell with a Broadcom 57810 10G Ethernet card. I have installed the Windows Server 2008 R2 associated drivers, but in the device manager the "Ethernet Controller" on the relevant PCIe slot has not installed driver. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this Ethernet card driver...

Windows 7 and 10 gbit?

Chris S

1:24 PM

Why is Scandinavia well represented on the site/chat; but nowhere else in the non-English Europe?

Cole

Hennes

Chris S

Hrm.. must be different circles.

I don't know hardly anyone who knows of WinRAR.

Cole

@ChrisS I work with dumb people.

Chris S

Used to, back in the day, when rar was notably better compression than zip, and all the BBSs used it for "file sharing"

Cole

I'm disappointed 7Zip doesn't have PAQ8/9 or similar compression yet.

We still do only 1-2U rack severs here.

theregister.co.uk/2013/06/10/openvms_death_notice

Not that I've done anything serious on VMS for a long time but ...

Travis

@Cole Us too. I like the idea of blades...just not comfortable with single point of failure

Ward

@Iain Still, a sad day...

Cole

@Travis I think they're great if you have a multiple chassis.

and good support.

Dan

@Travis The only SPOF is the midplane in a HP chassis, and that's unlikely

Cole

tbh, I've only once see the backplane go on a IBM BladeCenter

Iain

1:53 PM

@Ward indeed.

Travis

I guess in a SMB would a blade be cost effective though

Cole

this was a very old chassis though, after a power outage.

@Travis probably cheaper to by rack servers in your case.

Ward

Someone should take Robert Palmer (the executive, not the dead rock star) out and shoot him, too.

Cole

@Travis How many servers do you have?

@Iain Isn't VMS still in production for large corps?

Travis

@Cole 3 physical, 5 VM

@Cole 2 of the physical are ESXi

Cole

1:56 PM

@Travis yeah blades would be, IMO, overkill.

Chris S

@TomO'Connor Very interesting

Travis

yep

Cole

Only thing that sucks about the integrated Hyper-V on Windows 8 is there's not coherence mode.

Travis

great...our financial software just crapped out on us

Hennes

@Travis It might. It might not work. I would have checked before spending lots of money on a 10gbit card. (and if not windows, I would have asked on some mailinglists)

Cole

1:57 PM

@Travis What is it?

Travis

@Hennes Right. Plus...why would you want a 10g card any way?

@Cole Some hole in the wall software written by a single guy using FoxPro

Cole

cringe FoxPro

Travis

I asked the programmer when he was going to update the language (since MS extended support has run out) and he said he won't until a better one comes along

Hennes

I can only think of 3 reasons:
1) Someone had a great sales droid.
2) Testing a few things before installing a proper OS
3) Someone has way too much money and wanted the fastest available hardware. Without doing any sanity check before buying.

Travis

@Cole He also told me that they have a SQL version that would be better than the version we're on (using dbase or something).... Still doesn't fix the antiquated code issue

Cole

1:59 PM

and creating a Virtual Switch disruptes my laptop

@Travis wow, gotta love SMB.

Travis

yep

They won't let me upgrade yet...to the tune of $400k for an ERP

Chris S

@Cole You'd have to publish the program as a RemoteApp on the VM, then you can.

Cole

@ChrisS ah didn't even think of that, thanks.

Jenny D

@Cole the bank where I work still has VMS. They've been saying for years that it should be phased out "within the next couple of years". Still hasn't happened.

@Cole My last manager was pretty good. He was absentee much of the time, which worked out well for the most part. But when I needed him for meetings, budgeting, and other planning, he tended to be "out".

@NathanC That happened to someone here, MikeyB maybe...

Cole

Hm we're getting a VNXe, for what - I do not know.

They're having a consultant install it with 2 dell servers.

ewwhite

@NathanC yeah, FIRE!

MikeyB

@ewwhite Oh, they do. They certainly do. But across tens of thousands of IBM blades, never ever had a whole chassis failure. Also, the midplanes aren't an SPOF, there's two sides to it.

Nathan C

Ooh.

@MikeyB The servers may, but the chassis doesn't

Halt and Catch Fire

Halt and Catch Fire, known by the mnemonic HCF, refers to several computer machine code instructions that cause the CPU to cease meaningful operation. The expression "catch fire" is intended as a joke; the CPU does not catch fire. It is also occasionally referred to as "SDI" for "Self Destruct Immediate". In early CPUs The HCF instruction was originally a fictitious instruction, said to be under development at IBM for use in their System/360 computers, along with many other amusing instructions like "Electrocute Computer Operator". One apocryphal story about the HCF instruction goes bac...

Lp0 on fire

lp0 on fire (aka Printer on Fire) is a semi-obsolete error message generated on some Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems in response to certain types of printer errors. lp0 is the Unix device handle for the first line printer, but the error can be displayed for any printer attached to a Unix/Linux system. The message is intended to be humorous and does not reliably indicate whether the printer in question is actually aflame. History The "on fire" message probably originated in the late 1950s, when high speed computerized printing was still a somewhat experimental field. The ...

Asked him if he liked cows. If he had ever been to Bangkok. Kept him on the phone for 30 minutes then asked him if it sounded like a phone hanging up. He only made $25k USD a year doing that job

@MichaelHampton it's a plastic cup that is used instead of a tampon.

A small rubber cup to catch blood.

@JennyD I thought so

Nathan C

@Travis And you were probably like "and so the fun begins!"

US Citizens take an *average* of 10 vacation days (2012)
Europe varies a fair amount by country, but I'll put an off-hand range at 35-49 from the numbers I'm looking at. That's 10-15% less days worked, so it'd make sense that income would be that much lower.

Michael Hampton

@JennyD Oh. And I thought it was going to be something ... @travis

Cole

@ChrisS trying to figure out how to do that now :P

Hennes

Sometimes it is quite educative to be mistaken for a female. Otherwise many people assume "oh, males probably run away when we bring such a topic up."

Travis

@NathanC I had more fun with the crank caller that kept calling her phone and asking for someone. They did it like 3 times so she gave me the phone and said you answer it. So I did. Told them to stop calling. They called back 5 minutes later

Nathan C

My task is to figure out why our camera system's machine keeps locking up. Oh, because it's running Windows.

Jenny D

@Hennes A lot of males seem to think it's an important part of manhood to be (or pretend to be) freaked out by things like that

@NathanC I pretended to be gay and asked if they were responding to my craigslist add for sexy rednecks in the XYZ area (I knew the phone number prefix). They haven't called back

@tombull89 hahaha

2:49 PM

@NathanC I talked to about 3 different people on that phone. Each hillbilly kept passing it off to the next to get "hit on" by the gay guy. Keep in mind the entire time I'm talking to them I was feeling the throbbing jolts from the impact gun as I put my wheels on my race car

Nathan C

haha

@JennyD I've gotten used to "discussions" because a majority of my friends are female. Well not discussions per-say, just random comments.

Travis

I had some indian guy call me at work about something. Can't remember if it was a virus thing or what. I was yelling random things while he was on speakphone. He was like "Sir?" I would yell, "hide the damn body before someone finds it! "Sir?" "Hold on a minute I'm hiding a dead body!" "Uhh...thank you Sir but..." You hold on a damn minute, you're a witness to this! You don't hang up on me!"

@NathanC So you're gay then? Most men that have the majority of friends as females are gay...cause they aren't threatened you know :)

@Travis 98% of my friends are female.

I'm very not gay.

@Travis All my friends are women... Why would I want to hang out with a bunch of sausages?

Cole

^ werd

Nathan C

^ exactly :p

Travis

Have ya'll tried the sausage? Then you don't know if it's good or not ;)

Cole

That's how I tend to meet other women. Because they're like "Oh my friend Cole is super nice - you should talk to him!"

Travis

2:54 PM

lol

Cole

I've slept with most of my friends that are girls.

So, there's that.

Travis

I'm out of the dating scene. I'm in the "you're gonna do what I tell before I shoot daggers out of my eyes and kill you" scene

Cole

O_O

Chris S

@Travis Oh, "married"

Travis

Almost

Cole

2:55 PM

I'm still "dating". Girlfriend and I have been together for ~3 months, talking for 6 months or so. Yeah, don't see this being "the one" for me though.

Chris S

@Travis Technicalities aside, "married"

Travis

Pretty much

12 years and counting

Cole

Hennes

Travis

lol

Cole

2:56 PM

hahaha

I knew Jesus was a woman!

Chris S

@Cole "The One" only happens in movies and kid's books. The rest of us have settled on "good enough" (which isn't nearly as bad as that wording makes it sound).

Nathan C

@Hennes Lurker level: Jesus

Cole

@ChrisS this is "ok for now"

Q: Ok, How do I recreate my free/busy information store in Exchange 2003?

Ok, I finally managed to stabilize my Server 2003R2 machine and Exchange 2003. I at one point tried to migrate exchange off of the domain controller, but I had some issues, so I migrated everything back. The only thing that didn't apparantly migrate back was my free/busy, and its too late to pull...

windows exchange

Travis

@ChrisS I've settled for tolerance. She tolerates me and I do what she says

Chris S

2:57 PM

Also, I know a ton of people who have settled for "has a pulse"....

Travis

lol

Journeyman Geek

XD

Cole

@ChrisS I just don't see it going past dating really.

Just not on the same page on too many things.

Travis

@Cole No 3rd base huh?

Cole

@Travis as in, sexual relations?

Journeyman Geek

2:58 PM

I'll settle for "geek has hobbies. I'll tolerate em"

Travis

Yeah

Cole

Oh that already happened 2.5 months ago

Travis

Oh. Well save the pics so you can post them to postyourex.com and we can all enjoy

Cole

No nudies here. She's very classy, which I do like.

But she's 23.

Chris S

@Cole I would never encourage someone to settle for less than they really want: But is there any rationale to your thinking that "ok for now" wont last indefinitely??

Cole

2:59 PM

@ChrisS no, because lately being with for for more than 5-8 hours makes me want to strangle her.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Travis

@Cole That's the one!

Cole

The constant "tell me I'm pretty" thing is annoying.

Nathan C

@Cole I'd imagine her comments (like what you mentioned last week) are probably getting to you as well
