go3 posted:If one of you wants to make piles of money go design some non-lovely small business accounting software because Intuit and Sage can eat my rear end forever Oh Oh Oh! I can help with this! Xero is non-lovely cloud based accounting software for small business. We've had designers working with us from day 1 to make sure the UX is top notch, and people can't throw awards and accolades at us fast enough. Also our customer base is doubling every year so we think we're doing something right. We're at about 160,000 paying orgs now. I keep the servers running and have worked there for a little over a year now. In a month or so we're going to start advertising for Ops roles in Denver so we can have our operations team follow the sun and reduce pager duty (Head office is in New Zealand). We are a total YOTJ destination.

They released a pretty simple payroll add-on a couple of months ago which is plenty for our needs, and we're looking forward to seeing the integration with Workflowmax (that they've purchased) so that all our poo poo is in the one interface.

Some guys working on the fire alarm panel right next to my desk stole my loving phone charger. Of all the expensive poo poo they could have taken from the server room, they choose the one thing that I own.

Kidney Stone posted:You as well? All the above weapons, except the K for me. It's overrated anyway, especially by the Yanks (and seriously especially after it got mentioned in "R.E.D.")  The G3 is nice, and 7.62 makes me happy - even if the spot between the magazine well and front grip gets scalding hot after a few magazines. The C8 is nice too, but 5.56 is.. really dinky. The MG62 is heavy as hell to lug around, fun as hell to shoot, and then uncomfortable as hell to lug around after you burn through 200 rounds.

Does IE 10 blow or is it just me? Tons of state/healthcare-related websites (oh yeah, and Outlook Web Access due to Exchange 2003, lol) don't seem to be compatible so I set a few sites in group policy to come up in compatibility mode. Everything was peachy, then I upgraded a good chunk of Win 7 machines to IE 10 last week and have had dozens of calls/emails about certain websites being unusable. I decided to just force compatibility mode for ALL websites via GPO and of course now that isn't working either. Websites that don't work in IE7 mode or IE10 will work in IE9?  Looks like we're on to plan C, which might be "use a different browser".

Compatibility modes aren't actually that good at being the version you select. Say you put IE10 in IE7 mode, what you get isn't IE10 and it isn't IE7 (or IE9), instead it's an entirely new set of browser behaviour. This can trigger issues that you would never have seen in any native mode browser.

Ideally I'd like to set IE10 into IE9 browser mode universally, but as far as I know I can't do that without, well, uninstalling IE10 and installing IE9. Users can change the browser mode manually but it doesn't look like you can actually save those settings, as they have to do it again with a new browser session.

I have been having to systematically roll everyone back to IE9 after that giant CF of an auto-deployment. Financial institutions also hate IE10, apparently.

We've had a number of random sites that require IE not work, but hitting F12 and switching *both* the "Browser Mode" to IE9 and the "Document Mode" to "Internet Explorer 9 Standards" fixed the issue. Even though their support guy was telling our person in finance that it wasn't possible. Eh.

Sirotan posted:Websites that don't work in IE7 mode or IE10 will work in IE9? I did contracting for a hospital that did exactly that. Installed Firefox on every PC, set it as default, hid the IE icon, and set specific shortcuts on the desktop to the intranet sites that need IE8 together with a proxy policy that prevents using IE for anything else.

Well that was fun. Halfway through my lunch I had three people come to me at the same time saying they lost all connectivity. After a bunch of time troubleshooting, it looks like the cable runs for three separate jacks in three offices just died out of the blue. I move the connections to the second jack in their offices and everything is fine again,. Looks like I get to make a call to the contractor who replaced all of the cable runs three months ago Taking bets on "sorry, out of warranty"

A ticket came in. "So, whenever I'm connected to OpenVPN on my laptop, I'm having a damned hard time SSHing. All sorts of random corruption." I WTF, and check it out. The thing is mangling packets left and right. SSH and SSL connections are dropping, plain old HTTP is getting completely poo poo all over... I figure I'd try a few intranet sites in IE for shits and giggles, and IE is found drenched in toolbars and pseudo-malware. WTF dude, you're a systems engineer trusted with local admin on this laptop to do your job, not to screw the blasted thing up! I smell a reimage coming.

I think this is a large part of the reason why IE11's user agent string no longer mentions that it's Internet Explorer in order to stop websites from being displayed in some weird quirky IE mode (it now says "like Gecko" or something like that). As far as IE10 as a standalone browser, I use it relatively regularly on my PC and it gets the job done. If it had click-to-plugin instead of prompting me with annoying things at the bottom of the window every time until I disable the plugin completely, it would be completely fine.

NZAmoeba posted:Oh Oh Oh! I can help with this! drat, wish we could put more of our clients and even our own stuff on you guys, but my boss seems to have a crazy attachment to Quickbooks, and a general distrust of hosted apps (Ironically I think that is because he used the hosted Quickbooks offering a few years back and it was pretty terrible.) Most of our clients are either on Quickbooks or MYOB and all seem to spend a lot of time fighting with them. We have a few on Xero, although it is hard to tell which ones are because they are the ones who never seem to have an issue with their accounting software.

This is how IE(8) chooses its rendering mode. I'm sure it's a little more complicated in IE10+ though, but the basic takeaway remains the same. Pretty much comes down to doctype, explanation here: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/
