Since I'm the only user for our OTRS system (it's still in testing, doesn't send mail, and we're too small to really need it), I have "PEBKAC" as a possible resolution.

Is it even possible to delete My Documents? I thought Windows needed it, even if the folder is empty.

If I ever create a ticketing system, I'm going to include an "Unintelligible" closed ticket resolution option.

Recuva is another option.

Yep. But if you delete it from the desktop, Windows says "HAY NO DON'T DO THAT IT'S A SYSTEM FILE NO but ok if you want to remove it from the desktop that's cool", and off you go.

STOP CHANGING THE WAY I SWIPE MY GOD drat DEBIT CARD!!!

Hatred of new things... God that ticks me off. "Please swipe card." Wait, no, you were supposed to select debit or credit. Okay, NOW you can swipe the card. Now pick credit or debit again.

Who the gently caress invented that redundant and retarded system? Dont say "Swipe card now" if I have to press a button first, assholes.

Interface progress my rear end. I'll take my classic mode and you can shove it.

Your credit card swiping system SUCKS. I'd be cranky too if I had to put up with that every day.

It's not mine... It's gas stations, mini marts, grocery stores... They all change them from the "swipe, enter pin, hit OK one time only" to the "hit a button, swipe, hit a button, enter pin, hit ok, hit ok, press no to cash back, hit ok"

Interface progress is crap and you know it.

Casao posted:

Run it as credit, no pin, no cash back. Swipe, credit, sign.

To be fair I think most people (myself included) who disliked the XP visual style did so because:
- It took up a large amount of unnecessary space compared to win2k/classic/whatever.
- It looked like a my first computer.

Both of these things were fixed with Aero.

"Would you like a receipt for this transaction?"
No.
"Printing receipt..."

This happened to me at a gas station once. True story.

Spermy Smurf posted:

But that doesnt work. You have to pick credit, swipe, (sometimes pick credit a 2nd time) confirm the amount, sign, hit OK....

Yes.
"Please go inside for your receipt..."

This is worse.

XP and Vista styled start menu organization are significantly better than the "Classic" style start menu from Windows 2k and earlier, which I believe is what "classic mode" was referring to (though I could be mistaken, in which case, my apologies if it's not).

Aaaaand we come full circle to my point. Just because it's the latest and greatest system available (or look and feel of an operating system) it doesnt mean it is the best. People have been using the Classic look easily for 10 years, and now it's all changed.

Hi, Tom-

Thanks for responding so quickly!

I believe that NATIONAL BANKS and SOCIAL SECURITY are hardwired.
As far as Mass Transit-the Metro has a system called "Smart Drive" and may work on a beacon system.

I have witnessed high tech gangs IN THE PROCESS of using a computer (USB port possibly?) with a handheld radio scanner and sometimes what appears to be a "SIDEBAND PHONE" to adjust the impedence or direction of the frequency stream.

This is all HAM RADIO jargon. I caught several of these guys many times using a "YAGI directional antenna with a UHF-VHF frequency to count RFID tags on $20 bills and frequency ID numbers from debit card transactions.

My father was an expert witness in 3rd world technology, and I have been working behind the scenes with a Gang Unit, Intel, and a couple of police chiefs.

I am not familiar with the abbreviations you used, however I am reading the video surveillance bible (tutorial) to find an answer to this problem.

The two immediate solutions I have come up with is with the city planning dept. and limiting parking near the bank ATMs and put security outside at the bank atms and where transport vehicles park.

But, what I am talking about is some type of upper or side band filter made for ham radio accessories to keep out other ham backfeed or emmissions for clarity of signal.

The information I have suggests taking up the slack in ALL electrical wire and phone wire appliances...curling the wire or looping it several times is difficult to breakthrough AT US VOLTAGE LEVELS...it may be that EUROPEAN POLICE SCANNERS are being used.

Pls be patient with my lack of knowledge. Your input would be quite valuable, Tom.

The fort worth and houston police have already had these guys mess up their phones trying to imlpement DECODERS for the purpose of hacking into complainant's phone systems and eventually their homes (from the ATM)...

quote:

Tom-after witnessing the first event of this happening, I spoke to a policeman with military knowledge, and we both agreed that they were "cloning the signal" (one cancels out the other.) I have watched these guys clone security alarms and disable them.

There is also a part of a computer that is cloned...for hacking with Packet Radio (Ham).

The use of microwave transreceivers in phony delivery trucks-FED EX @ the moment...two vehicles can converge on a block around a facility and flip on their microwave equipment at the same time and shut down the power temporarily to HACK into the security cams ON THE SAME CARRIER CURRENT CIRCUIT as the debit card terminal...

I was working behind the scenes on the 11 people endited for the largest debit card information hiest in history. That was only a small fraction of the nationwide RING consisting of HIGH TECH GANGS and organized crime from NYC and Germany.

Add on Asian gangs and the Russian Mafia...and you have THE NEW WORLD ORDER, who are calling themselves the Illuminati.

If we could separate our secuirty systems from the phones and debit terminals and reposition the dome cameras away from being directly over the terminal...would that work?

I have the article from Cellular Magazine about the inventor of the debit card reader who just INVENTED the magnetic card stripe DECODER that is stirring up all this controversy.

Your input is critical...with much appreciation...

There's a small chain near where I live that deals in discounted groceries. Most things aren't taken out of the packing boxes, just left in the boxes with the fronts taken off; it's just that kind of place.

Sometimes I remember the vodka but forget the orange juice, and they're the closest place with it. Every time, the debit dialogue gets a smile as it points at the wrong key to confirm the transaction.

Nice work all around.

For those that don't know, a yagi antenna is directional, not omnidirectional. So the premise of scanning multiple areas at one point in time with one is kinda silly.
