He was given 2 weeks unpaid leave for forgetting almost every safety rule and very nearly killing himself. Last year one of the workers in assembly who had long hair somehow got it tangled up on the shaft of a pneumatic drill and pulled out a good chunk of scalp. Had that poo poo up on youtube for a while until he got pissed at everyone making fun of him.

At the first police department I worked at they had a very old paper shredder (1960s) that we had to feed all of our teletype stuff through. Since I was in Los Angeles the teletype ran pretty much all goddamn day which led to a shitload of shredding. My boss was a humongous guy that was a bit of a slob but on some days he would gussy up with a tie. I was standing on the far side of the machine talking to him as he fed paper into it and as you guessed the tip of his tie got pulled in and he made the most amazing Warner Brothers cartoon type "YIKES!" face before he managed to hit the button to stop the shredder. The kind of poo poo that came over the teletype was mind-boggling. Some data entry people were pervs that would go into way more detail than necessary about their favorite crimes. There would also be the pointless mundane stuff like some Sheriff's Office in Bottlecap, CA having their annual bbq lunch.

Fox_Spy posted:Edit == Crazy double post behavior. Weird. Apparently I need to be careful editing my posts when using SALR. Good to know. Also, the rest of you are now warned. =) frozenphil posted:If you quote a post while in the Quick Edit window it converts the Quick Edit window to a Quick Reply window. Just be sure to check the top left of the window to see if it says Quick Edit or Quick Reply before hitting submit. Fox_Spy posted:I strongly suspected it was something along those lines, but hadn't had a chance to check. Seems like a bad design. brc64 posted:It's less bad design and more known bug. If I remember right, duz said that it would take a pretty significant rewrite to fix. I believe it's on the todo list. I've been helping maintain SALR, and I addressed this behavior in a test build I posted in the SALR thread a month or two back. For the record, the old way SALR did things didn't even update the window title (in most, if not all, cases) when you clicked another quick button. The test build attempts to figure out what you're trying to do if this happens. So, for example, if you had a quick window open already and click "quote", it will add the quote to the window without changing the window type/associated thread/etc. Once I clean up the code some more (and hopefully get some feedback on this new quick window logic), it'll be released as an automatic update.

my job has enough not awesome to balance out the awesome. no dress code, nobody cares. boss is in another city, nobody cares. I can waste half my day on the forums as long as poo poo's done, nobody cares. DOWNSIDES: all of the above where nobody cares applies to almost everything else that I do as well. I need help? Nobody cares. I need to learn something? Nobody cares. Goes both ways when you have a place run by a guy who isn't into leading so much as letting people work poo poo out for themselves. I got a 2-pack of buckyballs the other day and I swear that me and the other helpdesk guy have done gently caress all since I got them except mess with them. I can hear him messing with them right now. I haven't decided if this is a good or bad thing.

Bad news: our network is hella slow, the firewall says it's at about 100% CPU. Oh gently caress. Worse news: I found the culprit, dev.example.com got hacked and is exchanging massive amounts of traffic to a couple of hosts in Eastern Europe. Best news: we don't use dev.example.com anymore. It's a shame VMs don't have cables you can yank out, it really is. Also: no real dress code, hard rock on the office speakers, tons of snacks and booze, all topped off with a "just get poo poo done" attitude.

You can virtually yank out the cable by disconnecting the network adapter though. Of course if you don't use it anymore, why is it still powered up?

I left it running after powering it up last month to expunge all data potentially belonging to an ex-client. Pressing the big red button on the console was almost as much fun as yanking cables. Almost.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:No, they disabled it for everything except the default user profile. Makes building a mandatory profile an absolute pain in the rear end unless you still have a Vista system around, but those profiles won't work so well on Win 7. gently caress Microsoft in the ear for doing that. I just manually copied the profile of the "build" user to where I wanted it and fixed up permissions. Guaranteed to not be the way Microsoft recommends - they want you to customize the local administrator(?) and specify the CopyProfile step in sysprep. I was never able to make that work, though, hence my solution.

No reason it can't really be both. I filed a ticket today for something that's been the way it is for the last 4 years. 4 years before anyone looked at it and went "Hey, this is kind of serious." A developer told me it's supposed to be that way. So, bad design and a defect. Edit: I see astral's post now, good to know. Thanks and keep up the good work. I love this thing.

I found a very hackish way of doing it. There's a program that allows you to enable disabled window controls, and I used that to enable the copy functionality after I selected the profile I wanted to copy.

It would easily point out whether the document structure is correct, whether fallback content for images, JavaScript and other objects is set correctly, and whether a mobile browser with lacking CSS support and images disabled or a screen-reader for the visually impaired would be able to properly use the page. It's also slightly useful for SEO. Google gives no shits about your pictures and javascript.

Solution to the bike thing. Every day move your bike to a different spot in the rack, if possible inconvenience the poo poo head who complained by blocking his. It should take no more than 2 minutes and you don't need to bike home in the cold.

A bunch of professors posted:MY EMAIL SEEMS SLOW IS THIS BECAUSE OF THE EXCHANGE 2010 UPGRADE?!?!?! Long story short, the dark overlords are upgrading to 2010, right now maybe 50 users are in the beta, and they are going to do 4-5 more waves of betas before slowing moving people from the 2003 systems to 2010 systems. They sent out an email to all sysadmins/department chairs explaining the process and stating they were having a large public meeting in 2 weeks to voice any concerns. They won't be finished with the beta tests until april or so. Our chair got the wise idea to get his panties in a twist, and send this out to gatdamned urrybody screaming about how the tech people make decisions without even consulting the end users. He's also the reason we were forced to shut down our mail server that all our users loved, but he won't tell them that.

We know basic fundamentals of software, but we leave that up to a client to know. I'll go through the trouble of installing this brand new tax software for one of our CPA customers, and they know not to ask me how to use it because, hey, why the hell would I know? I know its check writing runs off SQL and the basis of its functionality depends on properly labeled network drives. Hell if I know how to pull up a report for a 501c3.
