Why do I even bother calling support? Fscking retards. And because of that, now I'm on the phone with a user who can't figure out how to unplug a computer. Kill me now.
@MarkHenderson Apparently I was weaned by my mom handing me a ceramic mug shaped like a breast (you drank through the nipple) and saying "You're drinking from this now."
Welp... you know it's gonna be a long night when you need to instruct a user on how to unplug a server... and five minutes later she asks if the lights are supposed to be on.
*sigh*
On the upside, I'm starting to appreciate the no-firearms-in-the-office-building policy.
@HopelessN00b "You know it's gonna be a long night when you need to instruct a user on how to unplug a server" You could have stopped there and been good.
@WesleyDavid Yeah, really. But the whole thing where it took her five minutes to figure out that lights use electricity, and unplugged servers don't have any electricity... sigh Really above and beyond, even for the type of person you have to instruct on how to unplug shit.
@HopelessN00b I've had PCs with big power supplies / capacitors have lights remain lit for about a minute or so after having their power yanked from the socket
This was just a normal... um... tower-form... floor-mount... (?) server that sits in an off site office somewhere. No fancy doohickies like capacitors or dimmer lights on it. :p
Thats ok I was once walking my friend through installing a new graphics card in his PC (back in the days of AGP)
After he plugged it in, he goes "Hmm the computer beeped and crashed. Is it meant to do that" "... you have it turned ON?!" "Yeah... well you never told me to turn it off!"
I fucking hate this. Every time I go to get wifi drivers for a laptop, they always have multiple options with no way of knowing which one is right, and it's always the last one I try
Case in point:
I work in IT and I've got no fuckign way of knowing. How the hell is my mother meant to know?
I guess I could look at the hardware ID and google it, but by the time I sift through a dozen useless forums I could just try all of them
Hey, since you've been around a good while longer than I have, what do you think of a question to inquire about what's causing something to reply from 0.0.0.0? I googled it, and got nothing useful back, but I'm not sure if that's too broad or basic.
@MarkHenderson Enh, that's gonna be tricky. Reproducing it involves calling HP support and getting them to fuck up your ILO interface, apparently. But I don't just wanna throw up my hands and go "HP sucks" as the reason for this... I'm curious as to how the hell that would happen... it can't actually be sending a response as 0.0.0.0, even if that's what its IP reset to... can it?
Not often I find myself wishing I knew more about networking.
A fun one is when you ping the broadcast address on your network, in mine, say 192.168.161.255 - get a response from a different IP address almost every time
C:\Data\Websites\AJGrant\JS\lang>ping 192.168.161.255 -t

Christ, I'm still getting rep from that shitty "your domain is not being used to send spam" answer. :/ Guess I'll correct that by seeing if I can get downvoted to China on a 0.0.0.0 question.

Question for someone who knows a lot more about networking than I do...

@MarkHenderson Yeah, and it's like the 8th What-the-holy-fscking-fsck problem I've had in not quite two months here.
I was warned that I'd see some seriously weird stuff here, but thinking I was already in an environment that was as screwed up as it gets, I didn't run screaming for the hills when I got the offer. *sigh*
@WesleyDavid Used to, but not any more. We just want to stream our video tutorails for our software and we want seeking withotu having to buffer 55 minutes of video
@HopelessN00b We offer a software product aimed at service industries, like plumbers, builders, etc. We often get suggestions that we'd get a lot of exposure if we advertised on the popular porn sites
Few issues with that:
1. I don't think we want to be associated with porn, and especially not contributing to their financial success 2. When you're watching porn, I doubt you're going to stop jerking off to think about your work order management procedures 3. Ads on porn sites are probably very expensive
RE:3 Are they? It's been a while since I've actually been to any porn websites, in truth, but from what I remember the ads were all over the freaking place, making me think they'd be cheap.
@MarkHenderson And making other people, strangers, even, feel good isn't a positive, moral value? :p
(Not that you're wrong, I just don't get everyone's hangups about sex. And enjoy poking fun at them. None of us would be here if it weren't for sex, as disturbing as that thought can be.)
@HopelessN00b I enjoy porn as much as the next guy, but it really can have adverse health issues once you're in a healthy relationship. There are a lot of stories these days about guys who can't get it up with a real lady because they're used to watching porn. Or, when they watch porn, they always wait for a certain type of scene and always jerk off to a redhead, or to someone showering, etc, and real life just doesn't measure up
My main issue with the porn industry though is the number of women who get taken advantage of and exploited
There's also men who watch so much porn that even though they can have sex with a woman, they're so used to jerking off that they can't ejaculate
That above one is very, very common according to a friend of mine, who works in a public health clinic and often does sexual counselling
@MarkHenderson I'm sure that's true - reality never matches up to fantasy. Hardly a pron-only issue. People get "addicted" to anything, and forgo healthy relationships for their addiction of choice, so that's a big "meh" to me. 'Course, I don't have that particular problem, so that could be why.
RE: exploitation... it's the men who get exploited in porn. Much lower pay, issues with their equipment from... well, abusing it so often, and the like.
@HopelessN00b The issues that men face in porn are nothing compared to the exploitation of vulnerable young women. At least in straight porn anyway, I doubt that there are many men being forced to perform to pay off their debt to their dealer
You'd be surprised. I knew a guy in the porn industry. Turns out the way to get your break into straight porn is to do a lot of gay porn. Or so I hear.
I guess if you're of the opinion that sex can be removed from sexuality (as I'm guessing you need to to be a porn star), then it probably doesn't matter where you're sticking it

@SmallClanger Running javascript, sending referrers, opening tabs, pasting content and then hitting submit in batches, keeping all of our cookies and doing all of this at the speed of a normal human.
@SmallClanger Oh, and one more neat trick I discovered. Browsers have a "fingerprint" as the Panopticlick experiment showed. Part of this is the order, type and content of the HTTP headers. I've developed a set of mod_security rules that block a lot of bots purely on the order of the HTTP headers they send me.
And they all seem to come from the same region of the world: India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh.
"or it would rape you in your bed one night, you'd switch off your light, snuggle up with your loved one without knowing that RAID 5 was inside you, mangling your insides (and less metaphorically your data but that's less fun/sexually-violent) and you'd wake up with your arse (i.e. data) dripping in clotted blood (i.e. corrupt) "
Sure there is, and it's great... but it doesn't quite compare to

I agree that @lsiunsuex 's answer is canonical in its own right. It helped me clear up a few questions I had about the state in which I found my ass after getting blackout drunk last weekend.
I have zero experience in working outside of very large, wealthy, organisations, I have no idea how to even start a project for less than a few hundred k £/$, literally no idea
i have no life. i'm married with no kids. i'm doing this now so when i have kids, i hopefully, don't have to worry about money. i want to build myself a better life so future kids have a better life than what i can provide them now
understood - and trust me, its infuriated me that my partner didn't want to persue venture cap. but come monday when i'm live and blast 700 students with an email, i'm gonna be pretty happy i dont have that overhead of oweing someone $x
Sometimes venture capital also means having someone with experience to tell you when you're doing something wrong, or having network connections to people that make things happen.
If you want to build everything from scratch and retain total control, that's fine, if it works for you. Doesn't work that way for everyone and sometimes people aren't in it for the same reasons you are...so they use the capital to build faster and get better caliber programmers and employees to do things for them so they can focus on their core competencies.
the partner is well off. could he bank roll 500k himself? no, probably not. but when we have students and vendors are interested, if he needs to go to the bank for a loan, i don't doubt he will
As far as I know that is pretty grey. You need to be working remote for the "convenience of the employer". Basically I think it ill defined and not really enforced
You could be backed by people that can buy a small nation and it doesn't mean squat unless there's something saying the cash is in the company's account. Otherwise they just walk away and there's nothing you can do to get the money, and your client is left with an unsupported product.
