I remember about 3 months after I got here the CFO was telling someone he wished I worked faster and got the entire change over to a Vmware environment done already. I told him give me $120k instead of "oh lets wait until next month to buy that $5,000 piece of equipment" and it would have been done the first month I was here
Asking a vendor questions about their software that runs on top of tomcat, and the answers are that they provide their own Tomcat 5.0.27 server... Wow...
When I needed some Python modules that I can't build myself, the admin questioned the efficiency of running these things. What's the point of keeping a workstation so clean? The other workstations to which I have access works all well everyday with tons of packages installed. Is it normal to be q...
Don't use Red Hat unless you've actually paid for it and registered the machine. If you aren't willing or able to pay for it, use CentOS instead. — Michael Hampton18 secs ago

There is an issue with Virtual Chassis of two EX3300. Suddenly it began to reboot permanently. So we had to power off them. There were alerts on both switches, but I couldn't analyse them, so I took them into our office. After several reboots one of switches informed that it was booted from the ...

@voretaq7 I nearly did last night. Suddenly my "new" freebsd install ground to a half while copying things over to it and compiling ports. No disk I/O, nothing. Spent a few hours figuring out that it was probably going out of memory.
One time, I has to pee in a bottle but all I had was an empty three week old chocolate milk bottle. Turns out, those get just as rancid as regular milk bottles when left in a hot car for that long. As soon as I opened the lid, I got a whiff and puked out my window while pissing into the bottle. In the chaos, I peed a little on my steering wheel.

So that's why I'm a little resistant to the bottle thing. Bad experiences.
@MDMarra I tried to pee in a coke bottle while going down the road. Did you know that liquids displace air and when you block the exit hatch for the air it tends to give you a little blow back?
@MDMarra Also, when you start to realize that your bladder has slightly more capacity than your water bottle, it's hard to stop and leads to a bit of a scare...
> JohnMerlino, you've pretty accurately described what is modem doing and what is software doing: Modem accepts AT commands, software sends AT commands. You can use modem without software and type commands directly from shell, but it is not very comfortable way of using it
@Cole I've been supporting it more and more, and I'm getting angrier and angrier at it. Not even the UI - that's the least of my pissed-offness towards it.
If you see something that is so blatantly terrible that it can't possibly be from even the most junior of system/network administrators please flag it so it can be stomped on.
@TheCleaner I'm deliberately not responding to that comment. I already told him what to do (talk to his network administrator). I can't in good conscience send him to any other SE site with a knowledge gap that huge, Google would be considered "mean", and I really don't know where else to send him.
"My NAS now has a DHCP address called NAS.newdomain.local" - I hate when my DHCP server starts forcing A records on machines instead of giving them an IP address...
and my internal company domain is .local and we even run a single DC. I'm happy knowing I piss @MDMarra off on occasion. You hear that Marra? I'm not playing by your rules anymore!!! :)
@TheCleaner Amazing! I run a single DC domain of .local and registered .local as our top level! I can't believe that punk @MDMarra thinks it's a bad idea.
I actually did work for a company in the late 90s that had its INTERNAL subnet(s) setup with actual external IP ranges owned by Bell Labs. Everything was 12.10.x.x.
My latest ire has been raised over the backup and recovery tools built in. It's a confusing mess of restore vs refresh vs file history vs "Windows 7 File Backup" and I already had one person doing a backup that they thought was a system image when it was just a "refresh disc" that doesn't return applications.
It's a headache to wade through the different options and a non-IT person is pretty much screwed unless they enjoy spending a few evenings parsing through indefinite technet articles and forum posts
My Windows 2008 R2 machine is joined to a domain.
In the logon screen, if I type in "username@mydomain.com:something" as the username, I can still logon properly, what's the meaning of ":something" appended at the end?
I can even see the current user is displayed as "username@mydomain.com:somet...
@WesleyDavid - why do you think places like Carbonite exist? Or those "one-button" backup HDDs? Non-IT folk enjoy a wide range of "hand holding" software/hardware out there.
