Come on, it's 0/-1.

To a question that isn't on topic I might add, the fact its only -1, is a good thing.

I issue votes. The opinion of (some) SE employees is pretty much, you should use your votes, to indicate if something is helpful or not helpful. So I do exactly that. Of course I have to learn to stop putting my 13 EEEE shoe in my mouth by providing my unfiltered feedback when I do that

Football (soccer) at the Olympics: I'm hoping Brazil's not going to repeat that epic fail two years ago at the World Cup.

Hmm. Different teams. So Brazil brings their U23 to the Olympics...

oldmud0

Why does it look like they have dozens of porta potties

The orange stuff in the top right of the image

bwDraco

Ah. So the men's teams at the Olympics are U23, separate from the World Cup teams...

oldmud0

And all the seat colors are patternless

bwDraco

(This doesn't apply to the women's teams, though.)

Journeyman Geek

@bwDraco this has always been the case for some reason

Then again, I would not be surprised that the impact of that disaster extends to the U23 team hurting their morale a bit...

I involuntarily slept for 11 hours today woke up... well let's just say really late.

bwDraco

Note that three players on men's Olympic football teams can be 23+.

Brazil has been playing a solid game on their home turf so far.

The women's teams are a completely different story. Team USA has been #1 in women's soccer and I wouldn't be surprised if the USWNT takes home the gold.

I expect Brazil to put up a good fight in any case.

@djsmiley2k in most windows systems an unformtted drive will not show, the disk manager would be used for that

although there are exceptions, like a werid formatted, or failed drive that cant be acessed may still show, and the system may ask to format it. in this cases the system has discovered some sort of partition table or first block info.

And i should have said "unallocated" spaces, because those for sure do not show.

djsmiley2k

Ah ok

spend 10 minutes removing it from the domain and readding or 2 hours and not finding the information you need

AT&T is pricing as high as the market will bear.

@bwDraco I have a smaller and lighter version :)

bwDraco

I honestly can't imagine being without my Swiss Army Knife.

It's seen quite a bit of use. Blades are still in great shape but the other tools have seen varying amounts of wear and the scales are chipped.

oldmud0

@bwDraco Do you use a blade server?

bwDraco

@oldmud0 No.

I have servers in the cloud, but no physical servers here :)

oldmud0

joke failed :<

I heard they put SoCs in swiss army knifes, with netcat and a spool of ethernet

bwDraco

Got stuff to do.

See ya in a bit.

oldmud0

Have fun swissing army nifes

They tell me swiss army cheese can be eaten in over 500 different ways

I am reading this and I find part of it quite strange:

A: ASUS K55A - Black Screen, Boot issue after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Clearing the CMOS on your motherboard will reset your BIOS settings to their factory defaults. There are a few ways to clear the CMOS on your motherboard, but the most common is to remove the CMOS battery and install it in the opposite way "upside down", "reversed". After clearing the CMOS, you'...

reverse the battery? Why In order to try to fry the electronics? Why not just hit it hard with a hammer?

oldmud0

Yeah, obviously.

Hennes

In all seriousness:
remove the battery: Yes.
remove the battery and wait: yup.
But reverse the polarity? To this non lectronics guy that seems a very stupid move

"To reset your router you need to plug in the DC cord backwards..."

DavidPostill

@oldmud0 Hack a USB Flash Drive into a Swiss Army Knife - then you can add netcat :)

Hennes

I might just use that one. :)

oldmud0

"Also, to restore all your settings after doing 30/30/30 on the reset button, you need to pull BACK on the button for about 30 seconds to reverse the polarity and bring all the settings data back to the flash storage."

And still no flash drive...

@oldmud0 I would definitely end up injuring myself if I ever got anywhere near that object

Hennes

With that many option in that army knive you might best carry it with all options exposed.
At least then you can find the right tool. :)

oldmud0

> I forgot the knife in the front pocket of my Swiss Army shorts and when my wife washed them it completely disassembled our washing machine.

So, it seems that my school has now implemented proper 802.1x PEAP!

Thus the end of my woes...

Unfortunately, their entire Active Directory hierarchy is still completely in the open

I'm pretty sure they know they've made a huge mistake thinking that an ID could be used as a username and a password.

Ben N

Yeah, it's not really possible to revoke read access for normal objects without breaking AD

oldmud0

Can one enable audit for reading though?

A: How can I learn that a "net user /domain" command was used.

From the domain controller's perspective, there's no difference between someone looking at AD objects using Active Directory Users and Computers, net user /domain, or any other tool that looks through the directory. If you really want to audit process creation and termination, see Task Manager sh...
