12:13 AM
Wow, I pour myself a glass of wine, turn on the tele, log into chat, and what do I see? A page full of baby punching, cross-dressing, and tits.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
 
@Pac... @ScottPack You forgot Zordy and his fishnets.
 
That would be the cross-dressing, dear.
 
@ScottPack So wait... wearing lady's under garments is considered cross dressing? I thought it was restricted to outerwear.
Well that makes me feel awkward.
Hope that classification doesn't complicate insurance matters.
 
12:28 AM
Probably not, unless you're in a traditionally conservative state.
 
12:47 AM
Blargh. I hate dealing with corporate antivirus
 
1:07 AM
@WesleyDavid just uninstall it, like I spent the last few hours trying to figure out
 
Guys
I'm buying Meta.so
I better give Jeff my address so he can send me the legal crap
 
1:32 AM
Sorry, I was distracted by hot Russian techno singers.
And now I'm off to play some Mass Effect 2
 
1:45 AM
@Holocryptic Tatu?
 
Hmm
I just made myself look rather stupid
 
1:57 AM
@WesleyDavid Too Old!
@Jacob Drinking will do that to you
 
-3
Q: Hey SO, Won't you take Meta.SO domain?

YOUHey SO, Won't you take Meta.SO domain? It is available now.

UGH
 
@Holocryptic Too old?! The hell?
 
@Jacob meh. It happens.
@WesleyDavid pedobear meme
 
@Holocryptic -.- You make me suspicious sometimes.
 
@WesleyDavid look at the video posted earlier in chat. One of the related videos goes to this luscious red headed Russian chic
@WesleyDavid hence my moniker
or so I tell myself
 
2:02 AM
Oh man, don't make me search. Give me some keywords to go off of...
 
anyhoo, I'm really off to play ME2 now
blast hang on
Redhead
 
Okay, so the video I'm watching about Vladimir Putin isn't the one then.
 
no
The Putin one started me, then one of the related videos was the above
@Jacob don't take it so hard. Web humor has a way of falling flat a lot of times. Take it in stride, and be more careful about it next time. It's a learning experience.
 
@Holocryptic yeah
 
BRB. Checking RussianBrides.com

2:09 AM
@WesleyDavid fail
 
@Jacob No, dear jacob, Russian Brides are выигрыш.
 
@WesleyDavid I don't read Cyrillic sorry
 
The internet is a wonderful place, full of buxom beauties and Google
 
выигрыш roughly means "WIN!"
 
hmm
I can't cname meta.so
weird
Failed to save record : You cannot create a name alias record with the same name as an existing record.
 
2:42 AM
ugh I forgot about cnaming a root name
 
hey nerds
 
@hobodave Hey, want to see me make an idiot of my self? Look here
 
any suggestions for improvement? gist.github.com/15f000c992cc5ba73dd3

Q: Hey SO, Won't you take Meta.SO domain?

YOUHey SO, Won't you take Meta.SO domain? It is available now.

@hobodave Need a sys admin? :) I digress, looks good to my inexperienced eyes
 
no we don't
 
2:47 AM
Don't interrupt me, I'm negotiating for a Russian bride.
 
@WesleyDavid No comment
 
Make sure to check out the teeth. If there's a lot of tooth showing, they're probably past their prime.
 
@ScottPack I was going to ask for a sample to be sawed off so I can count the rings.
 
@WesleyDavid I think you're thinking of the wrong object there....
 
@Jacob Oh right! Sorry. I should ask for a core sample to be drilled instead.
 
2:55 AM
@WesleyDavid There we go....
 
@WesleyDavid YES! Much less invasive.

Today I did something I never did at WWU, interviewed a potential intern. Yes, Logik is looking for a pair of interns this summer. If you're in the DC area, or know a CompSci student who is, we're looking. Click the link for details.This particular intern was focused more on the "IT" side of the operation, rather than the dev side. His resume and associated materials were pretty clear in that h

 
"Dear Comrade, I would like enough Vitae Elementum from the specimen known as 'Candy Loveruski' to perform a proper Carbon 14 dating. Please enclose at least 4 grams of hair, skin and / or fingernails."
 
@Sysadmin1138Expounds :( Currently in a 4-year College majoring in CS or CE
shoot.
 
3:00 AM
I like you're thinking, @WesleyDavid. Carbon dating doesn't quite have the resolution you're looking for.
 
thanks @Jacob
 
Maybe potassium decay?
 
@hobodave me no comprehendo?
 
for taking a look
 
@hobodave ah, not that I could really help, but I'm glade to try
 
3:02 AM
@hobodave Looks nice. I like "Have an online "presence": e.g. StackOverflow, development blog, GitHub"
 
so I worked on the clean & jerk for the first time ever tonight. I maxed out at 135 lbs. quite proud
I probably could have done 155 but my clean form needs work
 
How do you walk around like that?!?
 
dirty joke? :P
 
Who me?
 
I'm out. Laters.
 
3:05 AM
ta
 
@Chopper3 you said the lyrics to that russian song were somewhat sad but you didn't say what she was saying?
I have no freakin' clue what she's saying...but I like listening to it.
 
@BartSilverstrim link
 
I did earlier :-p
Hang on I'll grab the youtubes fer' ya, Jacob.
We may not be hearing from @Jacob for awhile...
 
@BartSilverstrim why?
 
that is so weird
 
3:11 AM
I understand what that outfit was trying to do, but it still somehow manages to be hideous.
 
That's true, I was assuming you're a post-pubescent heterosexual male when actually I don't know if you are. I know I'm transfixed by her performance.
I'm wondering what other russian TV shows are like.
They have that, while we had @#% Barney.
 
@hobodave I must agree, a kids song?
 
I don't think it is.
She's some kind of pop star.
 
she looks so sloppy
 
Her name is Angina igoshina.
 
3:12 AM
I'd hit it, but damn put a bra on
 
@hobodave lol
 
The worst part is that she so desperately tries to jiggle, but even in something so easily jiggleable she still somehow manages not to.
 
funny how so average she looks and she's a pop star
 
anyone notice the little girl beside her, it looks like she is only wear 1/5th of a shirt
 
I don't think she's trying to jiggle, since she's tugging at the edges to keep from a slip.
How old are you that you noticed there's other people?
 
3:15 AM
There were people beside her?
 
There's footage from a backstage thing where she's getting dressed in the background and she's covering up her bare top too.
The cameraman keeps trying to slip a view of her.
 
@BartSilverstrim I multitasked
 
Multitasking is watching that video while Googling for the backstage footage. Analyzing anything beyond the immediate vicinity of her jigglies isn't multitasking.
On the contrary it's...just wrong.
 
I think that's her only song
every other video of her on YouTube is the same damn song
shame she can't even sing
 
It very well might be. You know how hard it was to even get a last name for her!?
 
3:21 AM
autotuned to shit
 
Don't knock it. Rebecca Black has a lot of lucre flowing from her lack of singing.
 
I don't know who that is
 
And if no one else noticed, the other near no-talents from ark factory are hitting the million mark because of it.
 
besides it's some tramp you guys talk about every 5 mins
 
@hobodave Hey the Russians and Americans do have something in common!
 
3:21 AM
FRIDAY FRIDAY...
She's not a tramp. She's an idiot.
 
I'd hit it and not call her the next day, and she'd let me. That makes her a tramp.
 
@BartSilverstrim true dat
 
@Jacob: Hey, everybody poops.
 
@BartSilverstrim ?
 
? @Hobo: um...are you talking about rebecca black (the tramp you guys talk about every 5 mins) or angina that I just brought up today...?
Because...um...
@Jacob: It's a book, Jacob. And a deep truth rooted in fact.
 
3:23 AM
both
why is Rebecca super young?
 
fuck
all I did was google her and click her image
 
HAHA @HoboDave pwned himself!
 
scratch that
 
3:25 AM
 
Fuck. Massive pwnage and most of the guys who would rag on you like Pauska's sock aren't around.
 
I don't consider that owned
 
Nice how they cleaned the shot to make her look older.
 
if I met that in a bar I'd approach
 
Can't say I blame you for thinking she's older from that shot.
Watch the video and you'd see the diff.
 
3:26 AM
but I'm sure as soon as she opened her mouth I'd be like WTF?!
 
Yeah, especially if it's autotuned.
Although I have to say I've really liked the "from hell" version.
 
omg I'm watching the video
"have my cereal"
wtf
 
@hobodave At first hobo was like "I'd hit that" Then he heard her voice which changed it to "Hell NO!
 
Real one with 80+ million views or the hell version?
 
@BartSilverstrim from hell?
 
3:27 AM
I can't even hear her voice
 
If you're doing it right you don't worry about the voice.
 
lol
 
@Jacob: youtube "friday from hell" should get the remix video from cynical mass.
 
@BartSilverstrim link
 
It's reminiscent of Black Hole Sun.
 
3:28 AM
is she American?
 
@hobodave they photoshoped bigger boobs.... Rebecca you don't fool anyone
 
@#$ that's the wrong video.
 
she just said "sunday comes after saturday"
...
this is one of my fav YT videos of all time
 
Well, it does.
 
3:31 AM
I love that one too.
 
I remember the first time I watched it. I thought it was just supposed to be funny because of the ridiculousness of the girl and the video
which I thought was funny on its own
then lil jon came in and I shit myself
 
It was a real kids show...
 
ya I don't have those
 
dammit...I think they may have removed the hell video I was watching earlier.
 
um no
 
3:37 AM
Damn. Missed what he posted.
 
All I caught were the words "RSS" and "pedo". I imagine it would have been worth seeing.
 
And on that note. G'night gents. And Jacob.
 
@ScottPack :(
@BartSilverstrim that is scary as hell
 
Hee hee...demonic rebecca black...
turns out the original on youtubes was yanked.
@#%!!
Don't stop movin'...
Can you feel the music,
DJ's got us goin' around, round,
Don't stop movin'
Find your own way to it,
Listen to music,
Takin' you to places that you've never been before baby now.
/bops to the tune...
Wonder if S Club 7 was more popular in England than here?
 
3:53 AM
kids song? really?
 
Teen pop. It's from my teen years, thank you very much.
Oh, wait. Thought you were talking about S club.
Komu kakoe...I have no clue.
but...it sounds so happy!
and..dancy.
Russians be crazy.
 
@BartSilverstrim eh, they think of themselves as the 3rd rome
what'dda expect?
 
Well, they have better kids shows than we had.
 
@BartSilverstrim lol
 
I'd take her any day over effin' Barney.
 
4:00 AM
hey @bart, mind giving me your opinion on this? gist.github.com/15f000c992cc5ba73dd3
it's a listing I wrote
 
@HoboDave: Looks pretty good.
Does this mean you're moving on? (referring to previous conversation today, unless I'm misremembering...)
 
no
it's the job for the position we're filling
that we've been trying to fill for ages
I tweaked it some from what my boss has been posting. I'm wondering if our listing sucks or something. Maybe that would explain the abysmal applicants
 
I might change the "Sentact is a healthcare technology solution utilized for streamlining compliance and workflow management." description slightly to something like "Sentact specializes in..." or wording to that effect, but it's a very minor detail that I don't think is a killer. The description looks pretty solid.
Looking at the description I don't know why it would. Anything posted on careers here for recruitment?
Shouldn't be having trouble getting PHP programmers...thought there were a lot of PHP'ers around.
 
my boss posted on careers.SO a couple months ago, she was very disappointed with the results
I don't think there was a single response. She got a refund
 
That's strange.
 
4:12 AM
I guess
 
Maybe it's the bachelor's degree paired with database and PHP?
 
it was my first experience with it, I thought it was rather abysmal
I felt bad for even recommending it to her
 
It seems strange to me that you'd get zero response.
 
it was before Careers 2.0
well when we posted initially we were not open to telecommuting
 
Maybe try striking the degree part and see who applies without that as a requirement, or put in that it's preferred but not required.
 
4:14 AM
hell my boss says she still technically isn't, I added the telecommuting myself
nah the degree is a requirement, it says "or equivalent experience
 
Well you should get more response using telecommuting, I'd think.
Hopefully you'll find someone in the same time zone. :-)
 
heh
for some stupid reason she posted an ancient copy of the listing on Craigslist and Monster this time
 
Craigslist? That could prove interesting.
 
I don't know if that was a mistake, or intentional since she didn't like my edits
that's where all these applicants are coming from
 
mmm...katie wilson.
 
4:16 AM
@hobodave Is your boss the owner/or head of your company?
 
yes
 
@hobodave imho you speak of her as I would be more fit to run the company
 
I do not understand that sentence
 
@hobodave fixed sorry
 
ah
p.s. if it's blatantly obvious who you are talking to, don't highlight me :)
 
4:18 AM
Don't forget this is probably googlable... :-)
 
@BartSilverstrim Yeah, the only key word I see is sen***
Hobo feel free to delete my comment then
 
ah thanks I forget that sometimes
I don't care :)
 
ok
 
Good rules of thumb. Don't say anything anywhere online or in any record that you don't mind coming back to your door.
And don't say anything anywhere online or in any record that you don't mind coming back to your door. Those are really the only two rules I know of online.
 
time for me to watch some True Blood before bed
later guys
 
4:24 AM
night
 
Oh, and don't take any pictures on your phone that you don't mind your momma seeing.
That's a pretty good rule too.
Later @hobo.
 
@BartSilverstrim my sister ran into that issue >.>
 
@Jacob wait
how old? do you have copies?
 
@hobodave just turned 14,
 
gross
 
4:26 AM
She was sexting?
 
Yeah, I formatted the card to DoD standards
 
the world is going to hell
 
And got caught? Ha ha!
T33nz R dum...
 
@BartSilverstrim she was going too, but my mom checks her phone
 
Going where?
14 and sending pictures of her hoo-ha around school. Consequences are not in her vocabulary apparently.
 
4:28 AM
@BartSilverstrim was going to send messages to her "boy friend", who does drugs >.<"
 
What drugs we talking?
 
@BartSilverstrim apparently I got all of the IQ points....
@BartSilverstrim the only thing I know of is cannabis
 
Bleh. Cannabis may very well be overly-demonized compared to what cigarettes do to you.
 
@BartSilverstrim those too.
 
Strange thing is I've never used marijuana.
I know people who have, but really, I've never had a pothead flip out on me.
 
4:30 AM
@BartSilverstrim aren't you a K-12 admin?
 
yes. I'm referring to my college time.
I've never used it but knew people who did.
 
@BartSilverstrim are you a CRS at a school?
 
@BartSilverstrim where do you work, at a actual school or the district office?
 
Whole district. Could be at any building, depends on who needs what.
Something in particular you're hinting at?
 
4:34 AM
@BartSilverstrim Well at my HS I can smell it in the hall way >.<
 
I'm not sure how it ties into what I do at work...they'd probably frown on us using or dealing illegal substances. :-p
But while there are drugs dealt at our high school, we don't smell mary jane in the halls.
That doesn't mean that I don't hold personal opinions on the topic though.
 
@BartSilverstrim I swear the PD needs to lock down the school and search everyone... its way out of hand
 
There's also a line to be drawn between people who have or use certain things and people who live a particular lifestyle focusing on it.
That's up to your officials and policies.
We've had police searches conducted before.
 
@BartSilverstrim we do too, not often enough.
 
I'll need to get to bed. You should too, no doubt.
Night, @Jacob.
Gotta get up, gotta be fresh, gotta get my bowl gotta get cereal...
You know the drill.
 
4:40 AM
@BartSilverstrim yeah , night everyone
 
Talk to you tomorrow :-)
 
 
2 hours later…
6:40 AM
G'day
 
7:10 AM
hi
 
 
2 hours later…
9:03 AM
New router, new phone sockets, 200m from the exchange, fast speed, low ping. Every 10 minutes the broadband drops for 30 seconds. Could anyone throw any ideas to what could be causing this?
 
Hello
 
hi
 
Hi Greg, is this a good place to ask questions about domain issues?
 
I think this is more to do with hardware, but ask away its all related
 
Here is the question I asked, let me know if it's related: serverfault.com/questions/256263/…
 
9:16 AM
@oshirowanen you need a split DNS
 
@Holocryptic Please explain.
 
@Greg your question is more appropriate for superuser.com
 
You're having the problem with not being able to resolve your website internally on your domain. A hacky way to fix it would be to put an A record in your DNS that points to the IP of the website. The best way to fix it would be a split DNS. And that about sums up my knowledge of it. You might get lucky and have someone else expound further on it
 
alright I'll ask there
 
anybody around here
 
9:24 AM
@oshirowanen I put a little more explanation in my answer. You can put an A record that resolves www.yourcompanyname.com in DNS and then your people inside will be able to resolve it. But if you want to really fix it, you want split DNS. Or so I've been told.
 
10:02 AM
@mives not many no, what's up
 
10:39 AM
yay halfway through the week.
stroll on the weekend
 
I'm just trying to make plans for avoiding the royal bloody wedding, maybe an all day film marathon?
 
that works
if the weather is nice I may just spend most of the morning in bed to catch up on all the sleep i somehow appear to have misplaced, and the afternoon out walking
 
tree of life is out just before
what I won't be doing is going anywhere near a TV all day
 
that would probably be a bad idea
with all due respect to the happy couple, I'd rather play video games all day than watch them, I really would
 
11:06 AM
me too - and not a bad idea actually, portal 2 out a couple of weeks before
 
good point, currently playing new vegas
 
11:18 AM
Afternoon.
 
how are you doing
 
If you want to lose a day to a new game, by the way, I can recommend SpaceChem.
 
cool, what's it about?
its a pity that LA Noire isn't out this week
 
It's a weird atomic manipulation puzzle game. This sounds crap, but there's a demo on steam which is big enough to get its hooks in.
 
it sounds weird but you look at games like tiny wings or Angry birds or Peggle. You wouldn't have thought any of them were gonna be hits based on a description
 
11:35 AM
Morning all
 
hi
 
sup
 
11:50 AM
Whats the best way to get started in pen-testing (on my own machines obviously)? Start poking around in BackTrack?
 
@phsr Tell your sysadmin you're going to do it first. :)
 
No, don't tell them.
 
I am my sysadmin ;)
 
Get it in writing.
Also from your boss.
 
@ScottPack oooh even better.
 
11:51 AM
And check out security.se
We've got several questions about that already.
 
i didnt realize there was a security SE!
 
@jscott Yeah, not having things like, you know, approval to break their system documented is a great way to lose a job.
 
I'll probably make a new VM before I start breaking things
 
i think having written permission to pen test is important. I'm in charge of my employer's security and I still have (blanket) written permission to do it on file
 
that way, i stay away from the important stuff
 
11:55 AM
@BenPilbrow George Edison has updated the SE editor toolkit - still doesn't work for me - can you try it out ?
 
@Iain I can do in a little while. I've been creating my own, so I will probably end up ditching the SE Editor toolkit anyway in the not too distant future

Q: Block Windows domain remote software install

AdalThe IT in my company remotely installed McAfee VirusScan Enterprise on my machine. How can I block such remote installs? I have full Administrator rights on my machine. I removed the domain administrators (COMPANYDOMAIN\IT_Security_Admin, COMPANYDOMAIN\Domain Admins, COMPANYDOMAIN\SMSAgent) fro...

close / too localised?
in the spirit of the last time we took over all the IT chat with food talk, I really like this foodie blog: stickyrice.typepad.com
 
@RobertMoir OT, at least. Too localised is subjective and argumentative.
 
@RobertMoir I say just off topic - should really talk to the local admins
 
well either way
 
12:00 PM
:)
 
i said too localised because its localised to that specific business but either way it needs to be closed imho
 
It's on the ropes... Taking downvotes now. 4 V2C....
Oops! Whoever downvoted, retracted...
[Closed]
Whew. That was pretty action-packed for this slow morning.
 
it was, proper photo finish to see who would get the final vote there
 
The "kill shot" as it were.
 
@RobertMoir Same here, that permission is part of the policy/procedure around how my office is chartered and scoped.
 
12:09 PM
yep
that makes sense. But its still "given" at some stage, it always has to be....
 
@RobertMoir Uncontested, and as with anything in the pen-testing space the tester just needs to make sure that permission is documented and granted by whomever is appropriate to grant the permission.
 
yup yup
 
damn woot-off....no BoC yet
 
12:43 PM
Hey folks
 
hi
 
I got asked a lovely question today, can I budget for the next 5 years of web client spend on servers and support. Given that we have no idea if we even have any clients right now =)
