We have new laptops ordered and are debating installing Windows 8 on them. The primary concern at this point is that Windows 8 may behave differently on the domain or need network-related changes. Is this a fair concern?
The last time I attended one of those tasters I achieved double vision by the end of the evening, which is quite an accomplishment for someone 80-90% blind in one eye
@RobM you're unlikely o see it unless a local to you pub picks it off the wholesale market. The brewer delivers it in the local area but the spare goes to wholesale
From what I understand, though, this is inaccurate. Reference: social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/… "Each core very safely support 8 virtual processors. Logical processors are abstractions of time of the physical processors and really muddy the thinking as they apply to a physical machine one way and to a hypervisor in a different way." — Wesley43 secs ago
And running on a processor that old, you need to pull out all the tricks to squeeze extra performance out of it, including making 4 virtual cores per physical core.
@MichaelHampton Oh, that's brilliant. I think I'm going to start a virtual hosting company with my gear at home, now. Can't work out any worse than AWS, right?

Should be lots of fun, plus I'm installing Server Core, because one of the other admins here is always saying "just use the GUI, here's how," and I think that installing a CLI-only server for him to say that about is a good use of my pent-up malevolence and evil.
I'm starting to wonder if working under me is a sign of stupidity or just masochism.
Notice: there is a lot of theoretical questions.
Recently I'm reading about Puppet (and similar systems), which - as I believe - can make my work easier, a lot. But I try - and unfortunately can't - to understand what all I can "puppetize". I can imagine "clouds" or HA clusters, where is the sam...
@ewwhite Eh,I could spend 15 minutes answering him and wind up with a -1 vote for my trouble and the question closed anyway, or I could beat him over the head with a copy of Pro Puppet.
Currently I have all these IPs coming in. Is there a way to find a common string in them and then block the attack via IPTables?
I cam use tcpdump like this right?
tcpdump -ni eth0 -w file.cap -s 0 -c 1000 not port 80
What the difference between these two or are they essentially the same thing?
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -s $EXTERNALNET -d $INTERNALNET -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -s $INTERNALNET -d $EXTERNALNET -p tcp --sport 22 -j ACCEPT
Anything that's reasonably similar across all systems (or a subset of them), or that you can base a template off a fact you can get out of facter is fair game.
Things that are really unique you probably shouldn't bother, and should just serve the configs out of a filebucket.

@HopelessN00b Yeah, it was enough of a brainteaser that I started making a test setup at my vps to try it out until Falcon made me stop and think about it.
I half considered deleting my stupidity but it really belonged there for posterity's sake
@Iain I always feel kind of weird being moderatory being a stack employee. I really could be more forceful but I try not to let the diamond hammer come out
Every opinion I have has the "is he talking on behalf of SE or is he talking as a grumpy sysadmin"
generally, grumpy sysadmin.
But I've actually started trying to answer questions again, so, baby steps.
@PeterGrace Well, they do say the first step is admitting you have a problem, don't they? Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any 12-steps programs aimed at helping one abstain from being helpful. :o

I’m going to buck the pervasive mentality here and ask the question:
Why shouldn’t dba.stackexchange.com include basic SQL questions?
Previous related discussions:
How do we define a question as being "too basic"? Where do we draw the line?
Beginner's questions...
@MichaelHampton Hmm. Basic SQL, (select from one DB, on a bunch of tables, insert into another on the same tables) but the problem/failure reason may not have to do with the code... so I'll try DBA.se first.
Because basic SQL is (should be) the domain of app developers. Anyone working with databases should understand the concept of "SELECT colset FROM table", even if they don't understand relational algebra. Also, strictly SQL questions like that are "code questions" and Stack Overflow is a "code questions site" and always has been. There's no reason to say "all SQL questions belong on [main]" when on Stack Overflow, which is part of what this policy is in place to prevent. That is a debate that has been had several times now. By encouraging simple SQL Q here, we discourage them on Stack Overflow, thus diluting both sites. — jcolebrandJul 18 at 14:15
e.g. Table A has "WorkOrderNumber,CreatedByUser" and Table B has "UserID,IsSupervisor" and you want to delete everything from A where they are a supervisor in Table B...
@HopelessN00b Australians don't have the same sort of racial slurs that Americans have. The N word has always just been something we hear rappers say and during hiphop
Yeah, plus I find Americans to be particularly sensitive about anything that might even possibly be racist. (Against blacks, at least. Any other kind of racism isn't such a big deal.)
Anyway, I'm off to home to set up my new internetz... and speaking of saying so the wrong thing to so the wrong person, our CIO overheard me pointing out that it's 25x faster than our T1s, at 5% the price. He was not a happy moron today.
I think he managed to merge BOFH and PHB into one ungodly mess. That's right, today, he was a BPHBFH.
Anyway, catch y'all in a bit.
And yes, I know there's a reason for that, @ewwhite . I wasn't making a value judgement, just pointing our a peculiarity of American society I've noticed. It's one of many, if that makes you feel better. Or worse. Or indifferent.
@ShaneMadden might have screwed up something in the firewall when I was working on it this morning
mail is up. web is up. So I can't sign on to AIM - no great loss.
I'll go work on it again tomorrow or Friday.
(it's also possible I exceeded the login-retry failure limit from my office and have been blacklisted since I tested it from here this morning, but it's "connection refused" so I don't think it's that)
@Adrian > Best resume typo I've seen in ages: "INTERNATIONAL BUNIESS MACHINES CORPORATION" I want to buy all my Buniess from IBM Or at least, but Machines for all my Buniess
@Adrian Nah, you wouldn't have worked for Buniess from 2006-2009 :)
for num in range(391,395): print "set interfaces vlan unit " + str(num) + " family inet6 address " \ + "re:dac:ted:" + hex(num).replace("0x","") + "::1/64"
@Zoredache It is how @MichaelHampton says -- easy to get an ARIN range with proper supporting evidence and cash, just tough to break through the "Don't want to do it right now" that's been said since last year
Nobody seems to understand the circular logic of "I'll get ipv6 when traffic increases"

@JoelESalas Yeah, I declined to continue using her services for anything else. Took the resume and corrected most of the errors and issues but clearly missed one.
