@JourneymanGeek Of all the companies we deal with, we only have one who gives a shit about IE; something like 40% of their business was done with users on IE6 18 months ago. I don't know what it looks like now though
We don't support IE, but because we have an (expensive) subscription model, so we make sure people know about it beforehand
If we were more of a normal cloud service we would need to work with it
@jscott No, I understand the performance benefits to be gained from disabling last access but last file access is too useful to me, for auditing, reporting, scripting, etc.
"Green Check It" is a term used extensively where I work. I didn't tell you this but certain job/scripts exit 0 as the last line to soothe the technicians which are unable to handle Red Xs.
@RyanRies Sing it brother. Also, dir /x doesn't do what I expect any more. :)
we have this thing here particularly where you can answer 10 questions and only get rep for maybe 4 of the answers, and if you're lucky 1 will be accepted.
@JourneymanGeek part of the reason I hang out here is to broaden it a little, but I'm especially disinterested in stuff like hadoop and nginx (and cpanel, god forbid)

@NathanC: two issues really, you're giving a web front end more power than it needs, and if something REALLY breaks, you lack the skills and knowledge to fix it outside the web based paradigm
stuff like iptables isn't something that in an ideal world, you'd mess with often on the same system.
I'm having an hard time figuring out why can't I capture the packets flowing between two devices, in both drections, using a self made ethernet tap, with cooper cable, which looks just like this one: http://fernandomagro.com/wp-content/...2010/05/rx.jpg
Both end devices (say, A and B) are connec...
I have Apache and Rails running on my laptop. Apache is running on port 80 and rails 3000.
in my hosts file I have entries like
127.0.0.1 dev.somesite.com
This works well for Apache
How do I add an entry that routes to port 3000?
Something like 127.0.0.1:3000 dev.somerailssite.com ?
One of my client sites called to ask me to change the subnet masks of the Linux servers I manage there while they re-IP/change the netmask of their network based on a 10.0.0.x scheme.
"Can you change the Linux server netmasks from 255.255.255.0 to 255.240.0.0?"
You mean, 255.255.240.0?
"No, 25...
I've been building lots of new Server 2012 machines lately, which means lots of Server Core, which means lots of command line interface, which means lots of Powershell. So, a few quick tricks I've found useful the past couple days. foreach($_ In Get-ADComputer -Filter *) { Invoke-Command -ComputerName $_.Name { Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Filesystem -Name Ntf…

@MarkHenderson As someone who happened to be one of the first people ever to use PHP, I can assure you that "Parallel Hypertext Processor" is a retronym.
@WesleyDavid Of course it's a fundamental design problem. Here you have a procedural scripting language for personal home pages that was based on C-like psuedocode, that's been extended to be sort of object-oriented.
@MilesErickson $job[-2] started writing their internal web-app in PHP way back in 2002. The problem is that it's 2013 and they're still writing it almost entirely in PHP and very little Javascript/AJAX to make it work better for the users.
@MilesErickson Yes, that's my big takeaway. Procedural at heart, the designers stapled on object oriented themes and hoped the seams wouldn't be too rough.
@MilesErickson Yeah, doesn't help that they've been hiring either really new people who aren't Developers by trade or hiring duds because they're cheap, well, that's what you get.
