I wrote a TSR in high school that would shift the cursor position and display up one line every second or so (and wrap, naturally). Really entertaining when you turned on a monitor to login and it would be looping like that.
I called her ISP and said "I need an additional public static IP and I need a static NAT set up to one of the internal machines, I can give you the IP"
"sure thing sure, what's the IP"
"192.168.1.10"
"Ok, and what is the public IP"
"What?"
"The public IP that you're mapping it to?"
"Um, you're selling that to me, remember? You are the ISP, after all."
Just had to write a 'how to extend a virtual disk including all the LVM shit' document for our operation numpties - turns out they've been adding new virtual disks every time they wanted a bigger /var or whatever - ffs!
@MikeyB Yeah, looks like somewhere around 10.4 it got dropped. Meh, there's still drivers available for it.
It shouldn't be too surprising that it got dropped; I'm sure 99% of people who would be using a USB<->Serial converter know how to install drivers too.
I like that my new laptop has a Serial port on the back too; it's come in handy a couple times now.
You can't erase the last 30 years of serial usage... there's plenty of old industrial machines that are in perfect working order but were built in the era of serial
@ChrisS But not necessarily install drivers on OS X :p (I tried using the installer but nothing showed up after it finished, I expected it to show as /dev/tty.* but nada)
@MikeyB there aught to be a kernel module (iirc the Mach kernel calls them services, but whatever) you can load and it just works.... The installer shouldn't do anything but put the module in place and tell OSX to load it on boot.
@Iszi Maybe easier to just add the local Users group to the local Administrators group. NET LOCALGROUP doesn't indicate non-group Security Principals. I am pretty sure you can do it though. -- NOT THAT I THINK IT"S A GOOD IDEA.
@Iszi If you were able to add Local to the local Administrators groups, I would expected that to be the case. I'll have to do some testing, as I've not tried using SID/Security Prinicpals as group-members.
Hmm. I'm suspecting that 'Moonlight' and 'Silverlight' are the same person with multiple accounts based on this question: serverfault.com/questions/335257/…

@ChrisS Try browsing directly to the IP - often exit nodes are handled separately (i.e. IP dedicated to the exit node and an explanatory webpage on it)
I don't know who would want to add it explicitly to an ACL as in @Iszi's case, but it doesn't seem like there's anything unusual about bit -- Would expect it interesting to know the difference between Local and Authenticated Users.. I can imagine it's subtle.
Customer's DB people: "The new XIV sucks! The one in [location B takes] twice as long to do any work [as the one in location A]!" Customer: "Hey, can you help us investigate this performance issue?" Us: "Sure, no problem." *investigation* "Uhhh… the batch jobs you're sending to DB2 attached to location B are twice as large." Customer: "Oh, really???" Customer's DB people: "Oh really? Hey, would'ja look at that? We still don't like them."
@Basil These are the same guys that keep asking us to "turn off the cache because cache is bad!"
@jscott Yes, each 1MB partition (storage chunk) is randomly mirrored across different disks on separate shelves (subject to additional constraints as to location, but I won't bore you with the details).
Suppose that a Web server runs in Host C on port 8080. Suppose this Web server uses persistent connections, and is currently receiving requests from two different Hosts, A and B. Are all of the requests being sent through the same socket at Host C? If they are being passed through different soc...
This isn't a challenge to perspective employees so much as something that makes me think there is a guy racing in a back room to hand-code the response to every GET before it times out:
@SpacemanSpiff well look on the bright side, in that time when you said "reboot the computer" you would be sure it would be at least 10 minutes before they'd come back to you
Actually one customer blew me away... that it was a woman impressed me further
I'd ask her to reboot her DSL modem, and she's be gone for 15 minutes
After the second time I ask her why its taking so long and she says "well... I have to jump in the truck and drive over to my chicken house"
she actually bought a pair of wireless bridges and dish antennas, and used that to get her modem's ethernet over to her house, because her chicken house was in an exchange within the DSLAM's distance limits
@LucasKauffman And maybe it's just one of my habits, but I tend to go review other posts by ANYONE who posts an awesome question or answer, and then upvote their other awesome posts too.
It is on the wall of text of the first result, but that doesn't come with any experience either. As in, yes, it provide versioning, but as an admin you have to write a lot of scripts blah blah blah.
Tim has a point though. If it's in the docs, it's in the docs.
If the question was something like, "How do I automate versioning as described in the S3 docs" or whatever, that's different than "How do I back up S3"
At least that's my opinion
I did get a good laugh out of him accusing you of vote fraud though hahaha
There is a site, it needs to move to another server. It's copied there, works well.
Now I need to change my A-record. And then I learn that for some reasons we do not have access to NS admin end.
We have another DNS and we CAN switch domain to it, but we don't know all the settings, there was mu...
Figured out that customer's emails are being blocked by his outbound content filter. He's working with a local company that is a homonym for a female slur (if you don't know how it's actually pronounced).
Correct; because that's how listening sockets work.
