I will haha. I also noticed her pelvis is tilted so I think that has something to do with it too. She doesn't want to go to the chiropractor until the pain in stomach stops. I don't blame her.
@Dan Usually I'm super scheduled - but it's been a hectic 2-3 weeks
this is the weirdest fucking anime I've seen, but I can't stop watching lol
@Cole She's right there, she needs to let the tissues heal first... and I am serious about dark chocolate, it really does help when the hormones are a bit out of whack as they will be right now. It's scientifically proven by several blogs i've read :-)
Passed a technical phone screen yesterday, I guess they want me in right away for a face-to-face. It's a 8 month contract but the pay rate is high and it's for an enterprise company.
and dammit I keep finding things that the previous consultant did that was just wrong... not wrong as in "non-functional" but as in "non-portable so you have to write separate scripts for each OS when there is already a perfectly usable portable way to do it"
like there's a script that's been around for ages that will set a password from stdin so it can be run in an install script. But he's been using "passwd --stdin" which only works in Linux, and there are still Solaris boxes around, so all his install scripts fail on those...
Is there a way to create boot entry in windows 2000 boot menu to boot from floppy disk?
Problem is that, that bios is protected with password and i cannot change boot order entries. I cannot open "PC" case, because it is cash register and protected with seal. I need to reprogram cash register key...
@JourneymanGeek I thought it just pointed at the Windows folder. I suppose you could figure out what it actually loads - but this is just too pointless for me to think about any longer!
Brand new server install configured the same exact way as all my other VMs...and it can't reach the internet.

Here's my scenario: I have a service that has to run 24/7 and depends on a third party service that has a password.
I need to have that password changed. If I blindly change the password my service no longer works because it will continue using the old password until reconfigured. No matter how ...
@NathanC Working the LOPSA booth at a local event a few weeks ago I was asked about the health care and then was on the receiving end of a rant from some guy who's bent because ACA is resulting in all the good insurance companies pulling out of SC.
@NathanC Dude also said how proud he was of his state that they blocked lots of ACA related things as well.
@Dan They are odd. I'm all for a system that works and doesn't bankrupt people no matter where it comes from.
@ScottPack Don't get me wrong - our system is far from perfect, but ultimately I know that if I have a problem I can go to any hospital and get it sorted out for the most part.
@Dan No system will be perfect. My only questions are 1) Does it work? 2) Does it bankrupt people? If you can tell me no to both of those then we're probably good.
@ScottPack It does work, and no because it's 99.9999999999% free! We do have pay for prescriptions but nearly every vulnerable group gets pills dirt cheap. You don't have to pay while you're in hospital, either
I haven't checked the regulations on the government healthcare for trans* related things. A lot of private insurance providers have that coverage built in.
So on the way out the door this morning my wife gave me a concerned face and said I need to be around people. She's worried about me being home alone all day. I suppose I should take myself to the park to get socialized.
@ewwhite I'm less surprised by that, but still slightly.
@Dan Before we moved to this school, the domain was called domain.local. Because the person that set it up saw the prompt to call the network domain.local and then did so.
@NathanC It's even (partially) more transparent than that - it's called "National Insurance" and is part of taxes on earning. But yes, our taxes are far higher in general than yours - but nothing is free
@Dan Are they really higher? I did a back of the envelope once and thought that yours were lower by a little. It was real rough so I could totally have screwed things up.
@NathanC 20% right now - the big difference over here, though, is that nearly everything marketed towards the consumer (So anything non-commercial, basically) is priced inclusive of VAT
@ScottPack Very true, though I'd find it hard to believe your average person here pays less tax than the average person in the USA. Difficult to compare, though - and of course, define average etc etc
@Dan Indeed. At one time I was looking at schools over there for IT jobs. It seemed like a SysAdmin position was paying the equivalent of unskilled labor over here.
@ScottPack Put it this way, you're doing reasonably well if you're earning 30 - 40k GDP (49k - 65k USD). Above 50k (80,000 USD) and you're well and truly in the "high earner" category to most people. Though schools are a bad example because they pay service staff terribly
@Dan Excellent example is my mother. She was a k12 teacher (public school) that retired with 35 years experience and a terminal degree. At the end she was the second highest paid person in the school district (behind the superintendent). She was even making more than the principals she worked for. She retired at 45k (27GDP).
@ScottPack Wow, that's a lot lower than I'd have thought - though I gather you guys generally don't pay teachers well? Maybe IT work is just paid highly over there and that's created my confusio
@Dan Not too long ago I saw a job posting for a Security Analyst position at New York University. Good job, focused on incident response, forensics, and advising the SysAdmins on security matters. The pay was about $55k (33GBP). Considering the cost of living in that city I was pretty appalled.
@ScottPack Yeah, it's kind of the same in London. It is weighted for higher wages down there in general, but even so, they don't come near to meeting the increased cost of living
I miss NYC after visiting though - you have an awesome city right there
I vote, and try to get some sort of sense for what I'm voting for as well... Not that I matter, since my informed voting is absolutely drowned out by the million of uninformed, opinionated idiots who make it to the polls every election.
Windows 8 has this setting in the BIOS that the new ultrabooks come out with, so that windows8 can be in a sleep state when the user switches the machine off. this setting makes the BIOS ignore other boot devices/OSs when starting up and merely brings windows8 out of its sleep state so that it seems that it's starting up quicker — pythonian2903328 mins ago
hah...true. @Cole - I would do it in a heartbeat if I were young and single. I've been there quite a bit on business, building up new datacenters for factories, and I loved it over there in Shanghai and Hangzhou. You can live like a king on even modest "Western salary". I had a buddy that I worked with that decided to move over there. He lives in a nice gated community, has a live in maid/cook/masseuse from the Phillipines, and puts almost 1/3 of his salary into his company's 401k.
It takes some getting used to the lack of social skills and smog...and things like central a/c and having ice in your drink, but it's a cool experience. (not trying to sell you though...completely understand)
@MDMarra If I can't fix WSUS then it's probably going to be stripped and have a minimum install of some OS for iSCSI...it has enterprise-grade drives in it but the hardware itself is dated.
How do I make (WOL) Wake-On-Lan work ? I've tried everything now, all I see is green blinking power light when server is off. There is no additional options for "Wake On Lan" or power state. Any ideas ? Does this Dell PowerEdge 750 support WOL at all ?
Weekend getaway coming up for our anniversary...I used to envy those people that traveled on company points everywhere for free..now I'm one of them (on a much smaller scale, just spent almost all the points I had!). My problem is I'm too research intensive. My wife hates the amount of tripadvisor/etc. reviews I'll read before agreeing to something.
I've got a 2003 around still - application requires it. Also have a 2008 machine still, running WSUS... needs to be upgraded when I have the attention span.
@pauska I always installed a little uptime app on my old Win98 installs back in the day. I loved having users roll over that after they'd said that they'd rebooted.
we had Exchange 2007 on Windows 2003 64-bit, as well as some sharepoint 2007 servers. Exchange was moved to new boxes on 2012 server and exchange 2013 over the summer and we're part way through moving off sharepoint 2007.
