@WesleyDavid Nice. I did a bit of streaming media stuff a few years ago for some conferences. RTMP, RTMPE (which doesn't provide any security at all), FMS, seeking, that sort of fun stuff
@WesleyDavid Meh, it was pretty minor. Our national broadcaster has a radio station called Triple J that broadcasts nation wide and streams over the internet. The IOC made them shut down their international stream as a part of their license agreement to broadcast olympics results. There were literally thousands of people on facebook whinging about it who live overseas and stream online
So I fired up an EC2 micro instances, installed Wowza, VPNed back to our network here and ran an RTMP repeater for them
In the 5 days it was online it had hundreds of users
It took about 5 minutes to fire up an EC2 instance and VPN back to the office, about 5 minutes to install the Wowza .deb and then about 4 hours trying to understand their documentation
I saw a table set up for "Free Stress Test" that someone was sitting at looking forlorn because everybody was walking past.
I asked how it worked and she got me to sit down with these two cans attached to a device she called an "e-meter" with a retro looking meter/arm thingy. While I held a can ...

It's a very simple test - I run 50kV through you. If you scream and run away you're a pussy. If you scream and threaten me you've got potential. If you take a swing at me you're an excellent candidate to be a sysadmin. If you take a swing at me and actually manage to HIT me, you're fucking HIRED.

@MichaelHampton My favourite story from my days in tech support with stupid people is "Click on the start button" "YOU DIDNT SELL ME A START BUTTON YOU DUMB FUCK STOP TELLING ME TO CLICK ON THINGS YOU DIDNT SELL ME"
"On your keboard, press the button between control and alt on the left-hand side at the bottom. Now, see that menu? Thats the start menu"
For example if I'm having a conversation in Skype, can he secretly log in in parallel with me and watch my screen? If yes, how to block him? I believe I have admin rights on my dev PC.
There is always the possibility that your admin has installed the equivalent of malware to watch you, but that's pretty draconian for most places unless someone has given them a reason.
Generally speaking, when it comes to work PCs, the employer has a right to do whatever they want, because it'...
@Zypher The Back-UPS ES performs an internal self-test every 14 days, the internal self-test checks the integrity of the battery. If the battery fails the self-test, the Power on LED will flash and the unit will emit a constant tone. This is a WARNING that the battery may be near the end of its life, replacement is typically recommended within 2-4 weeks.
@MarkHenderson Oh, we had this one guy who called at 2 am nearly every day and wanted us to teach him all about how to use Windows 98. I still remember his name.
@voretaq7 you know ... this is the second time i've had an office in this general area, never got to go during ski season ... now i'm not sure i'm knees can take it
@Andrew If you figure out how to make vPro do something useful let the rest of us know. All I've ever got out of it is a bunch of marketing hype and stickers on the computers.
@WesleyDavid NTFS is resilient. HFS is not. First time our iMac got unplugged without a proper shutdown, I lost my entire iPhoto album. I had spent hours tagging faces of people in there on over 6,000 photos. All my hard work gone.
I had a mini for a client last month... that's viable, but I don't want to have to get a KVM switch to flip between computers. I'd rather have a lappy. And the Air is teh sexeh.
@WesleyDavid No. She's married and once upon a time she was OK looking (about 7 years ago) but now she's quite overweight and 4 kids (3 step-kids and one bio-kid)
In fact last time I saw her I almost wanted to talk to her about her weight but Mum advised me not to

I wonder if, just as you're not far from the start of some holiday/vacation time, you're tired because you know it's coming or just because you're tired?
I was tempted to go back to safari (I was an original zealot about it actually) but I don't know, we'll see - that said one of my chrome add-ins started adding adverts last week - bastards
Am I the only one who thinks we should have a checkbox for questions to signify "This problem has mysteriously solved itself, I have no idea what I did. Can't replicate any more."?
Was reading through an old question of mine, and that's pretty much exactly what has happened
i think we should have a tag for 'google engineers'; the guys that know of nothing and only using google for answers! aghh can't believe i call this place a DC!
