@Dan True...I was trying to find another infographic I saw a few years back that said that 91% of US automobiles are automatics, compared to 80% manual in the rest of the world.
@cole Pretty standard over there, though? The only people who learn to drive auto over here are either doing it for medical reasons or they really couldn't hack ti on a manual. I'm sure there are SOME who just do, but they're few and far between
Which could be a real pain - most company/pool cars will be manual, I don't think I've ever seen an automatic van. Hiring a car will be more challenging etc etc
@TomO'Connor Just after college I had a job which involved jetwashing - I had a transit with an IBC in the back. One day we had to leave early and the other guy pursuaded me to leave the water in - I came off the motorway and had my foot on the brake from the top of the sliproad, all the way across the roundabout......
@cole Yeah, I like it. Only frustration for me was going from a WRX to it...so big drop in power. But the lease didn't offer a mazdaspeed 3. Still, 2 brand new cars for 0 down and $375/month isn't bad. Our first lease and we've been happy with them over the years.
@TomO'Connor I'd only been driving a couple of months - it genuinely put me off driving anything bigger than a car for a while. They were LWB hightop transits and somewhat badly maintained - awful job
@TomO'Connor Blagged it as a company car - loved it to bits, but it wasn't as fiesty as my stock, base level 1 Series
The worst thing about the SWB we hired? We hired it in the summer, washed the windows, and nearly threw up as the smell of stagnant water wafted through the cab.
@TheCleaner Actually, I just cleaned up my comments in the DevOps proposal that got closed. I still think the idea has merit, not in the DevOps way we see on SF, but in the struggle for adequate communications and inter/intradepartmental processes (between Developers and Operations, but also other divisions).
@cole once both of our kids get old enough for sports we'll be driving a lot more...but for now the older one only has basketball practice and that's at her school (3 miles away from home)
I am running JBoss on both a physical machine, and a VM that runs within that same physical machine. The JBoss instance on physical machine is operating fast, but the JBoss on VM is slow (several orders of magniture). It appears that the following operations on the VM are slow: SVN checkout, big ...
@ewwhite If you can overcome the biggest problem, I think yes. The main issue remains though, "developers" who underestimate the knowledge and effort required to do Operators. It's a classic "you don't know what you don't know" issue, and they just want free Ops consulting.
@ewwhite Yeah, yeah... And computers will make your job so easy that you'll only have to work 1-2 hours each day - so they thought when computers were first introduced.
@ewwhite One's a Dell T710 and the other's a R710...same box, just rackmount vs tower...i'd have to check exactly what processors are in them (they're both Xeon, though)
@ChrisS I've given up worrying too much about the next big thing - it's essentially impossible to predict industry moves in the next 5 years, so I just run what I know and learn as I go
Client: I just found out that the power was shut off in the building over the weekend. We had advanced notice, but nobody said anything. It appears that’s what burnt the (Cisco) firewall, and the (Cisco) wireless AP is also done. Where can we get a new AP?
I'm on a computer with a working Logitech keyboard and a new logitech mouse but only one unifying connecter ... Logitechs website is not very browsable using just a keyboard so I need someone to browse the site, find the unifying software download for windows 8/8.1 and paste me the direct download link
@TomO'Connor or @MichaelHampton - can one of you reopen this question that Tom moved to NE? Apparently they didn't think an MPLS question was worthy of that site...
At the entry of a MPLS tunnel, which packet fields are used to determine the label of an incoming packet?
Here it says that there are other attributes that are taken into account besides the IP destination address, without specifying what else exactly:
Ingress routers at the edge of the MPL...
@TheCleaner We're not supposed to send stuff to site still in beta btw - not that that's why they will have sent it back and with only 4.1 questions/day I'd have thought they would welcome questions
@DanilaLadner He may be confused. Some services do require that. You have to log out of the older Gnome interface to pick up changes in group memberships.
@freiheit that user doesn't have to log off, he has to reinitiate that process he is running to issue a new system call into kernel to get group change, but it will be there
@Iain That's true, but not the way he phrased that.
@Iain Agreed, but "Unix-like operating systems assign users to groups at login time. You can see this using the id -a command which will show all group membership. Run id -a, then add yourself to additional groups and run id -a again. The new groups will NOT show up" this is wrong.
> Primary and supplementary groups for a process are normally inherited from its parent and are usually unchanged since login. This means that if you change the group database after logging in, 'id' will not reflect your changes within your existing login session. Running 'id' with a user argument causes the user and group database to be consulted afresh, and so will give a different result.
@Iain Yeah, I think Tom was simply doing me a favor since he didn't care either way and agreed it was a good fit for that site and the OP requested it. I didn't want the OP deleting the question and me having to copy/paste to a new one on NE. Regardless, I wonder what mod felt it wasn't applicable to NE?
and I am adding Windows 2008 servers, VMware and such... I want to see if I should force them to replace their Windows 2003 domain controller (singular)
