Just thought I'd poke in and let you all know that "The Website is Down" just posted a new video (Episode 4.5 Part 1) in celebration of Sysadmin Day. http://www.thewebsiteisdown.com/chipadmin.html Pretty funny, but most of the comedy is on the screens that flash by in a split second. Keep your finger ready on that pause button.

Fox_Spy posted:With the ubiquity of flash drives, I'm not really sure this is enough. I've got a 64 gig flash drive that goes around with me in my bag. I'm not really sure there is a reasonable size to pad a file to in order to avoid theft anymore. I think the idea was that many older filesystems don't support individual files over 4GB. FAT32 being one of them (which most USB drives come with as default).

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I have come to loving HATE the google toolbar, and any searchbar for that matter. Depending on their browser, you can tell them it's no longer supported and uninstall it. Google just announced last month that they're dropping support for Firefox (starting with Firefox 5), due to Firefox having most of its functionality built in. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue to IE.

Dick Trauma posted:Bad news: unexpected problems possibly putting me 1-2 weeks past a deadline for getting a new location built out I like how your pod thinks. Make up a bad event to create a more realistic life situation, and then still turn it into a good event by sheer luck.

nitrogen posted:Sex != Gender. Believe it or not there are legitimate people who medically do not fall under either category, even from birth. Honestly I don't know why everyone hasn't just gone to M/F/Other by now and saved themselves a world of trouble. Also, at the Trillian discussion, their continuous client system isn't just implementing whatever MSN does. It actually works for every service you connect with in Trillian. It's rather impressive, albeit a tad buggy at times.

Movey has likely been parachuted in already and will begin hauling IT equipment to lower floors with power. Via the stairs. e: just to move them back on Monday when the power is restored.

ptier posted:So I have the rare opportunity to pick out a new chair for my workstation. I am at a lab bench which is at about in-between normal desk height and standing height. I was wondering if any other goons here would have a good recommendation for a chair that is comfy and can telescope up high enough for my desk. I can spend less than $500 bucks. And this should go without saying, my rear end will be there A LOT. Any recommendations? I'd redirect that question to the almost-a-megathread chair thread in SH/SC: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3383243

I should boot up my ancient IBM Thinkpad sitting in the corner of my room and see if I can track down CARDFILE.EXE on it. It's running Windows 95 OSR1. (It was a pretty awesome laptop by the way. The screen was too small for a full-size keyboard, so it actually splits in half and slides up when you close it, and expands when you open it, sticking out slightly over the edges.)
