@voretaq7 Same here... though a few full-time teachers were close to that low-water mark.

voretaq7

I only had one tenured professor who couldn't teach for shit

Chris S

I've had at least two that I can think of immediately.

HopelessN00b

I don't think I had any bad tenured professors. Then again, all the tenured professors I had did the degree -> real world -> back to academia path, so that's probably why.

TheCleaner

@MDMarra - I think you might have overlooked something here: serverfault.com/questions/475233/…

Q: why the ip in browers takes me to router setting of nearby house

the case is I have subscribed to a ISP and my neighbor have subscribed to the same. What if i use angry ip scanner and find some open ports at 80. So by pasting that ip, it takes me to router setting page asking for u and p. Now isn't there any website at that IP on the very big "web". While co...

Q: how is it possible for google to return results at lightning speed

I don't know that much about server farming and all that. Basically what i know is goggle crawls the whole web and put it in database and returns result after searching the whole database. Now as we query the Google, there are lot of servers in the middle of our pc and google server in my region ...

Dan

@TheCleaner I started reading the original design document posted on that question and it's making me miss the early days of the web

Can we make a new, elitist, internet for Geeks?

Adrian

Dan

16:25

Yep

HopelessN00b

@Dan I'd settle for just those who aren't drooling retards, frankly.

Dan

@HopelessN00b I kind of started out with something like that, but yes, you've put it succinctly

HopelessN00b

...or co-workers. FFS, why the shit would you keep more than one password spreadsheet? Jackass retards.

Chris S

@Dan Did someone mention the Eternal September?

MDMarra

@TheCleaner Yep, looks that way

TheCleaner

@HopelessN00b - "We setup a DR document with passwords, etc." ME: "where did you store it?" THEM: "in Sharepoint, that way it gets backed up" <sigh>

Dan

@ChrisS See, this is bad. In 1994 I was only 8. But I was already using the Internet (as it was then). Man, my parents were hands off :D The day I figured how to connect to the BBS using my dads modem was a happy one

HopelessN00b

@TheCleaner Yeah, that's where we keep one of our password spreadsheets. Ugh.

Dan

(yes, I was a fucked up kid and yes, it's a miracle that I'm near enough well adjusted now. It's even more of a miracle that I ever got a girlfriend)

HopelessN00b

@ChrisS Ah yes, AOL. The scourge of the internet, and entity responsible for taking a technology with limitless potential for education and communication... and turning into an intelligence-free zone.

Chris S

AOL is how I first connected to the Internet... I was one of those dolts circa 1995.

TheCleaner

16:35

<busy sound when calling local BBS to play Trade Wars> "Dang it! Why won't that man buy another phone line!!

Chris S

lol; yep... I had the modem volume cranked all the way up so I could hear when it connected. Auto-redial set to 30 or something tries.

HopelessN00b

Aww, crap. So, our Exchange 2003 server (VM), attached to our SAN is getting high disk queue and pages per second. What's the best practice for running a mail server on a SAN? Disable pagefile?

Basil

@HopelessN00b more memory?

Here, we just let applications page to the san all they want. We have 500GB of cache, though.

Iain

@ChrisS today is Mon Sep 7097 17:41:25 +01:00 1993

HopelessN00b

@Basil The server's on 2003 x86, and therefore maxed on memory. Exchange is only using 1.1 GB RAM anyhow. :/

Chris S

16:43

I dunno, Exchange 2007, 2010, and 2013 are better about paging. =]

TheCleaner

@HopelessN00b - how big is the Exchange db?

HopelessN00b

@ChrisS Yeah, I suspect that the answer is "start moving more of the dumbass mail users to the Exchange 2010 box" ... which is having mail queue problems, heh.

@TheCleaner 75 GB. Exchange 2003 Std, bumped up with that reg hack/edit. (And yeah, the DB's at >95% capacity)

Wow, 40 disk queue, 2378 pages/sec.

Happy Monday.

TheCleaner

ouch

Basil

17:05

@HopelessN00b Yep, that sucks. Buy a bigger SAN, or upgrade them to a less archaic version of exch.

MDMarra

@HopelessN00b What's maxed mean? Do you have PAE and /3GB enabled?

HopelessN00b

@MDMarra Maxed means 4GB. I'll double check on that /3GB switch, but as store.exe is using just over 1 GB, it doesn't look to me like that would help either. <sigh>

MDMarra

4GB isn't maxed...

Oh wait

it is if you're on standard

HopelessN00b

@MDMarra For Server 2003 x86? You sure?

MDMarra

Enterprise and Datacenter x86 have higher limits

That's what PAE is for

HopelessN00b

17:13

Which, of course, we are.

(Not that it matters if the exchange server processes aren't taking up more even 2 GB of memory)

@WesleyDavid Sheesh, I take a mostly computer-free weekend and get all the pings in the world from you... ;)

@WesleyDavid (1) I'm not a SF mod

Michael Hampton

Oh good, all that crap I posted this weekend is off the star wall.

freiheit

@WesleyDavid Twitchy="Responsive Handling". You may find road bikes that are newer than 1988 to be less twitchy. You'll almost certainly find an "endurance" road bike or CX bike less twitchy.

Iain

@freiheit twitchy is relative and something you get used to with practice

freiheit

@WesleyDavid Seriously, BikesDirect.com is a better option than eBay. The shifters on that thing are some crazy one-off from 1990-something. If you want to go fast, you want shifters integrated into the brake levers. (plus that auction is over)

Iain

although I've heard that the PlanetX N2A frameset takes a fair bit of concentration

freiheit

17:32

@Iain Yeah. Also, likely to be less twitchy if you're going faster.

Iain

I almost had a stupid clipless moment yesterday, I was trying not to unclip at some lights wobbled the wrong way and almost went down

mossy

I don't like people.

HopelessN00b

@mossy People.... can't live with them, and yet, they're everywhere.

freiheit

@mossy Unfortunately, as a sysadmin you will sometimes have to deal with people. I suggest a mixture of blunt objects and alcohol.

MDMarra

Mostly alcohol if you're in the US

If you happen to live in Washington State or Colorado, you have better options available, though.

tombull89

17:47

@freiheit I find rocking back and forth in a dark room muttering to yourself also helps.

freiheit

@MDMarra In California, it's pretty easy to get that option prescribed

MDMarra

Is @Cole around?

mossy

Yeah, Michigan too. Most of my old-friends have "Back problems" and they can only be comfortable while high.

HopelessN00b

@freiheit That's such crap anyway, the way we restrict the good drugs to sick people... and require a ~~permission slip from mommy~~ prescription.

Joel E Salas

Fucking OSX is so janky. How is it possible that this headphone balance thing is STILL a bug after like seven years

Scott Pack

@JoelESalas Or connecting to a bluetooth headphones auto-opens iTunes with no fucking way to disable it.

Iain

@MichaelHampton that seems more like spam to me (and at least one flagger)

ewwhite

@MichaelHampton Oh, that's rough... but people do it!

One of my clients at the new job is in the business of providing exactly what that poster is looking for.

VPS's for trading.

@JoelESalas what bug?

WesleyDavid

18:27

@JoelESalas Maybe you're the bug!

@freiheit Fine, fine - you and @ewwhite win. I'll cruise through BD's stuff. I was realling pining for a Specialized though, but really, it's probably too much bike for me right now.

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite If you mash up/down volume keys too fast, you end up changing the balance of the output to favor the left.

wtf.

jscott

By the time you pull the trigger on a single bike, it will already be spring!

Joel E Salas

@jscott That's because debating bikes is easier than riding them

WesleyDavid

@jscott I was actually planning that as my timetable - take it slow and probably not get one until April or May.

jscott

@WesleyDavid Buy one, ride it. Don't like it? Sell it. Repeat. :)

ewwhite

18:29

@JoelESalas don't mash.

WesleyDavid

@freiheit And yeah - I considered that it's geometry might have been the best that could be done with the materials in the day. But wow I almost bailed a few times in just ten minutes.

@jscott What do you think bikes are, computers? =)

@Iain I hope so. If I tried to shoulder check, I'd have been eating concrete for sure.

jscott

@WesleyDavid Oh, they're far worse. You should hear the bike guys debate the most inane minutia in their forums/chat. :)

freiheit

@jscott The bike guys in here seem to be telling @WesleyDavid to just freakin' buy a bike already. ;)

WesleyDavid

@freiheit But I like to window shop. =|

freiheit

@WesleyDavid Riding a bike is more fun than window shopping

WesleyDavid

18:32

I could just buy the '86 Fuji frame from my stepdad and build it from the ground up. First thing I'd do is change the shifters.

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite Roughly equivalent to "Don't hold it that way"

Michael Hampton

Riding a bike is one way to get to the window shopping.

Iain

@WesleyDavid shoulder check ?

freiheit

Personally, I prefer to shop for a bike by going between the different local bike shops. That way, my window shopping includes bike riding.

WesleyDavid

@Iain Look behind you, over your shoulder. Take the same hand off the handlebar as the shoulder you're looking over and behind.

freiheit

18:32

@WesleyDavid Did it have downtube shifters?

WesleyDavid

@freiheit Head tube shifters, right on the headset area / stem.

Iain

@WesleyDavid you would be unlikely to be able to add indexed shifters to it - the rear drop outs will likely not be wide enough

WesleyDavid

Did you see the pic? Hang a sec.

freiheit

@WesleyDavid right where if you crash you impale yourself on the shifter levers?

WesleyDavid

jscott

18:33

@WesleyDavid Unless it's way too big for you, ride it!

freiheit

@Iain I was thinking he could probably at least change it to bar-end friction shifters

@WesleyDavid Is that one free?

WesleyDavid

Shifting on that Fuji is a pain in the tenderbits.

Literally.

@freiheit It's my stepdad's, so he'd probably not want me to pay for it, but I'd give him some cash. I'd rather overpay family than underpay.

Iain

@WesleyDavid you'll get used to it but STI shifters are just plain nice to have

WesleyDavid

Hey man, it was $350 a quarter century ago. Don't bikes appreciate with age? =P

mossy

I wish I could ride a bike to work year around in Michigan

I would be dead in a ditch right now

WesleyDavid

18:36

Does that head tube look really vertical to you bicyclists?

jscott

@mossy There's year-round guys here. The new thing seems to be the moon patrol style 4inch wide wheels.

freiheit

@WesleyDavid They don't go back up in price until they're over 70 years old...

Joel E Salas

@jscott That sounds fucking awesome

WesleyDavid

Seems like my hands and upper body are too directly above the front axle.

mossy

@jscott I can hardly brush my car off in the morning

WesleyDavid

18:37

@jscott Seen the Surly "Big Dummy"?

jscott

freiheit

(I know somebody with quite a collection of pre-WWII bikes. Pretty sure a cruiser from 1930-something has a higher non-inflation-adjusted-price now than it did then)

WesleyDavid

No, not the big dummy

The pugsly

freiheit

"Fat Bike" they call that.

mossy

jscott

18:38

I did a triple take the first time I saw one.

ewwhite

Fat bikes, yep

freiheit

@WesleyDavid Big dummy is a long-tailed bike. I've ridden one with my Surly Long Haul Trucker on the back

mossy

That is me every morning

Iain

@jscott mainly for sand/snow ?

freiheit

If you have a fat bike you can get 4" wide tires with metal studs. Float over the snow and still get grip on the ice...

jscott

18:39

@Iain They guys I see are riding in snow. I haven't had a chance to actually talk to an owner yet.

WesleyDavid

@freiheit Some hardcore mofos right there.

Iain

32mm is the widest tyres I have - I mostly use 23mm

freiheit

Dillinger, here: 45nrth.com/products/category/tires

mossy

Wow that would be fun though.

jscott

@freiheit $225 a tire! wow...

freiheit

18:41

@Iain fat tired (4") bikes are good on sand and snow, but also good for all sorts of mountain biking. Also good for using abandoned railways as a road, since you can just ride right over the railway ties without feeling them

mossy

I don't think I've road a bike since the time I shattered my elbow. I fell so hard I shit myself

2

I will provide pictures of said elbow later.

freiheit

I kinda want one of these:

jscott

That's more than decent tires for my motorcycle.

freiheit

(29x3" tires instead of 26x4")

WesleyDavid

@freiheit It's funny, I'm back on wanting a LHT or Trek 520 after feeling the twitchiness of that road bike.

freiheit

18:43

@WesleyDavid See if you can get a test ride on a modern road bike, a modern endurance road bike and a cyclocross bike...

(modern meaning something like 2005 or later, not 1986)

@WesleyDavid Also, try another test ride on the Fuji, but go faster

mossy

@freiheit How much would that bike you linked cost?

WesleyDavid

@freiheit Oh yeah, it's in the garage. I plan on taking it out frequently until I buy my own.

mossy

i'm kind of interested in this snow riding idea.

Iain

@freiheit When they convert abandoned railways to cyclepaths here they usually get a resurface

freiheit

@mossy Apparently about $2000

@Iain with a fatbike you don't have to wait for them to convert. :)

Iain

18:47

@freiheit I wonder what those tyres weigh - probably more n my whole bike

freiheit

@mossy When you don't have a car, and therefore no car payment, you can buy a new bike every year and still spend way less than car payments (unless you're talking high-end all-carbon dura-ace/red, etc bikes)

@Iain Those 26x4" metal-studded ones are 1375g, so under 3kg for a set.

Iain

@freiheit if you didn't have a car why wouldn't you get DA/RED :) ?

@freiheit not as heavy as they look then

WesleyDavid

@freiheit (I.e. Ed White =P )

freiheit

@Iain The tires on the bike I posted the picture of are 1640g for the set: surlybikes.com/blog/post/your_rabbit_hole_looks_knardy

@Iain Scotch

WesleyDavid

^ Purdy.

And he's got egg beaters!

Scott Pack

18:52

@WesleyDavid There appears to be more than one gear on that.

Iain

@WesleyDavid I saw a Specialized Allez at the weekend - looked nice

WesleyDavid

@ScottPack I like to complicate things.

@Iain Want.

Oh, I saw a decent deal on a Specialized Crux on ebay... let me check my watch list.

Oh! Oh! The Surly CX bike, the Crosscheck: ebay.com/itm/200889863312?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

54cm too, my size.

mossy

@freiheit Ouch. Little out of my price range.

Do they take peanuts?

WesleyDavid

I don't know why 54cm is so hard to find since the height range is right in the standard range for men in my generation, 5'10 - 6'

With a 31.5 to 32.5 cycling inseam.

freiheit

@WesleyDavid That's how tall you are? That seems like a bit small of a frame.

WesleyDavid

18:54

177.5 to 183 cm for you folks across the pond.

@freiheit 5'10, 31.5 cycling inseam.

freiheit

I'm 5'10.5" and my bikes are both 56cm

MDMarra

@freiheit He's about 11" tall, but 30" long when he's fully stretched after waking up from his perch

2

Counting the tail

WesleyDavid

@MDMarra You measured me in my sleep?!

MDMarra

Of course

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@WesleyDavid "measured"

Iain

18:56

@freiheit Both my bikes have compact frames so I don't know their size other than Large

WesleyDavid

@freiheit The Fuji does seem a tad cramped, but the top tube height is fine. I dunno what it's measurement is, it's in inches not CM

So I've got a buddy who's 6'6 and 230, huge bone structure, massive shoulders with probably 7 foot wingspan - what do you get a guy like that on?

Scott Pack

@WesleyDavid He also scratched your belly, so it's cool.

Iain

@WesleyDavid styles change - in the past everyone had big frames with the seat low to it, not it's smaller frames and more seat pin exposed

@WesleyDavid an XL frame with a long stem

WesleyDavid

@ScottPack Wait, you were watching?! D=

Scott Pack

@WesleyDavid Como?

19:00

Ohhh nice. Clients error_log just maxed out their allowed storage.

@mossy Don't worry about brand. Most bike manufacturers make something similar at a similar price range, and half the bike market is the various smaller brands. Check out at least 2 local bike shops. Test ride. Most should include a free tuneup on a new bike. Get a bottle cage or two, a water bottle or two, a pump (or co2 kit), tire levers, some patches and a spare tube. Then go ride the bike a lot.

@WesleyDavid I recommend, instead, riding a bicycle

@MDMarra Technically it's a track for bicycle track racing. Usually banked with lots of room for audience. Most cyclists would at least recognize "velo" as meaning bicycle.

voretaq7

@MDMarra everything is wrong, all of the time! :P

@freiheit Ah, so like how Tetrodome is the term for the playing field in tetris, then.

@MDMarra @freiheit I went to a hippodrome once. No hippos though - it was very disappointing. I wanted to see someone get eaten by a hippo.

@voretaq7 There's a club in Springfield, MA called the Hippodrome

It's where 50 Cent got arrested for some gun stuff once

Fun fact, my buddy got arrested for pissing in public while drunk and they tried to get him labeled as a sex offender, because he pissed on the cop that was trying to arrest him. He hired the same lawyer that represented 50 cent in his trial. Both 50 cent and my friend were acquitted of all criminal activity.

voretaq7

@MDMarra why would you arrest currency?

MDMarra

@voretaq7 Beats me

@voretaq7 This is the US. Currency gets taken to court all the time.

voretaq7

@MDMarra . . . wanna rephrase that last sentence, or should we just assume your friend is some kind of pervert that gets off on lawyers? :-D

no, currency gets taken FROM you BY the court.
We call it a "clerk's fee" here

MDMarra

Better?

voretaq7

@MDMarra not really, I liked it better before when I could monkeys paw it :-(

United States v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency

United States of America v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency, 05-3295 (8th Cir. 2006), was a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit that was handed down on August 18, 2006. The form of the styling of this case — the defendant being an object, rather than a legal person — is because this is a jurisdiction in rem (power over objects) case, rather than the more familiar in personam (over persons) case. In current US legal practice, in rem is most widely used in the area of asset forfeiture, frequently in relation to controlled substances offenses. In rem forfeitur...

great news, boobless @cole - glad you're doing ok

My 2 questions for the day
1) Do I want to be a 'technical architect' for a reseller/consultancy when I usually prefer to work on projects long term

2) Should it be legal to execute people who bang on about "6 hats thinking" as anything other than an interesting critical thought exercise as part of a training session (and even that's stretching it).

so far it's looking like "no" and "yes" in that order.

The 6 coloured hats is a useful training device
