@MichaelFrank in my country we have such a thing called Parody, A literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule. They are only seeing paradox.
a lawyer in fact would thrust such claims at a person in this country too, but a judge would laugh them out of the courtroom. The lawyers basically know that would occur too, but it would not stop them from making thier own false claims of libility and criminality. Scaring the crap out of little kid messing around might just tick the whole country off at the company too, hurting them more than the original prank did.
So the corporation here would tread lightly and have 3 lawyers talk about it first :-)
Yes, but as you said that requires the presence of comic effect or ridicule. Releasing a 'false statement' that could have an impact on an entire region, not to mention the stock value of a company is not satyrical. :)
theonion.com this place writes most rediculous false statements as news regularly. If it was my onion i would be twisting the names around a bit , just to be sure. Like NutFlix and UnTied Airlines, but they dont. they probably have a lawyer on call.
Then of course the follow up comedy . It has been 10 years in prison now for Kudra Falla-Ricketts , has she learned not to duplicate company stationary?
After her releace she will be working for MEGAgas company for 18 years to pay off her debt. Some people view it as a return to slavery, but Kundra said "I am just doing the right thing for the big ass corporation, the investors who didnt even know its original value and my family, I dont really feel like a slave."
Stocks of the MegaGas company rose to unprecedented highs as they added Solar on top of all drilling , and refineries. Kundra 26 year old CEO of MegaGas said "it is a step in the right direction"
How did Kundra become CEO of Mega gas you ask? It all started 10 years ago, when in an undisclosed settlement over criminal herassment of a minor . . . .
@HackToHell I do not understand why the phone designs have not progressed toward cooling the chips physically. Why all these raw chips? Even the controller chip in a ssd could be synced to its frame. I agree with keeping them cool, but no you slow them down to do so :-(
Oh and slower also means less power. Give us some of the Pitri dish miracle battery tech they been talking about for 10+ years now. " I can play games for 10 hours a day now . . . Limping along at a unwatchable frame rate"
I have my new line of touch capable oven mits ready. Plus not only are they only $29.95 but you get 2 pairs, and as a special offer only if you call in the next 10 minutes, we will throw in the mobile gamers breakfast cooker Free.
True, but speedstep works pretty well, and a more modern machine can't be had for a mere $100
Electricity's cheap and mostly from renewable sources around here, so it makes more sense economically and environmentally to get the older, cheaper computer, than to buy a new computer or spend more money on a more recent used computer.
It was a university machine, so not exactly specced for gaming or anything
Although the new machines we're getting these days are pretty sweet. Core i7 quad-cores, 16 GB RAM, discrete workstation graphics, the faculty machines are even getting SSDs in the next refresh.
We have so many bad tags, we need a whole new platform to handle them. A platform where people can vote on which tags to be cleaned up first and where we can tag the tags with cleanup-plz and such
A fried of mine has a notebook without a DVD writer and wants to borrow my external DVD/CD writer. Is it possible that the DVD writer gets a virus or malware etc. if my fried is using it and his notebook has a virus? The DVD writer is connected to the USB. I mean not the burned media but really t...
I don't know if it's just my own misinformation, but I've always believed that if you kill an enemy wearing a hat, you have a higher chance of receiving his hat in the next drop. Does this have a ring of truth to it, or am I just full of baloney?
2014's question was about eliminating or mitigating that most dangerous element of the computer system

I'm running Windows 7 French and I'm trying to compile this really basic program, but Visual Studio is being stubborn and refuses to comply. I also tried compiling it with both GCC 4.7 and Clang trunk on Coliru and I get more or less the same errors (output is below the code), though I think Coli...
@Bob Good question. We often delete stuff that SO would treat as "historically significant"
By which I mean software rec questions with over 9000 upvotes
I don't care either way. I just don't want people to think that we're having fun on this site :\

Just worth mentioning, SU is directly behind (actually not far behind) from SO as being the most spammed site on the network. The system rejects about 60,000 posts per 7 day period, most in the form of suggested edits. — Tim Post ♦4 mins ago
I been using +7 taskbar tweaker for options such as ability to customize group groups or unpin certain tabs from groups and option to display seconds In the time clock. 7+ Taskbar is lacking one feature. I have look extensively and I cannot find anything on nirsof that will work. Thought this utility might work on nirsoft but I was mistaken.
Currently the Windows 8 setting is to show taskbar on only one monitor or to show taskbar on all displays.
Ahhh yes, the daily meat-and-potatoes of a SysAdmin’s life, managing the users! This post is being recommended by Michael Frank on Super User, who claims to know about AD user administration, but not so much Linux. Linux uses 2 (or 4) files for managing their groups and users: /etc/passwd and /etc/group (as well as Shadow […]
@CanadianLuke Have you seen IT Crowd? :) It was a short one, only 4 seasons, 6 episodes each. But it was quite good. I LOL'd my pants down watching that.
@allquixotic Please don't ask to ask; if you simply ask your actual question, we will help you if we know the answer or can help you find it. This is much faster and simpler than asking if it's OK to ask. As a rule, it is always OK to ask in this channel. Please go ahead.
@barlop @MichaelFrank So a short version of "How do I tactfully recommend hosting when a client's IT department is causing problems?" would suffice, sans-background? I'm struggling because it's open-ended no matter how I put it.
@Matt i'm not sure because i'm not that familiar with the aspects of the question.. (shared hosting, managed hosting, and the rest) that's not a fault with your question but with my knowledge. It may be possible to ask a much better question or two or even to answer it as it is, but I am not sure how due to my lack of knowledge.
@barlop Mr. @MichaelHampton nailed it, I think: I'm asking how to improve plumbing on the Titanic, while really there's a bigger problem to solve first.
@Matt I think you would probably need to build a case, with a list of things that are happening, and how they can be solved by moving to a hosted system.
if your question boils down to what is a good managed hosting solution, they might consider it a shopping question (if they're anything like superuser) but that may be the question to ask..
@MichaelFrank Perhaps an audit with the client and the IT folks and the rest of the team, which will expose either a competency problem or my lack of awareness for other IT priorities.
