SharePoint 2010 uses Silverlight for some of the Office integration features, and I think also the data grid view of lists. A major loss.

Another major browser cuts the Java cord. Good riddance. My sympathy left ten years ago when I had to install java update number five million.

D34THROW posted:They're killing Netflix support The wotc website had a character generator we were using for 4th edition games. It works up until a breaking change in a more recent version of silverlight and the character generator was deprecated because of 5th edition. I had to maintain two side by side copies of IE with two different builds of silverlight just to be able to use that loving program, because I also had a dependency on the latest version for another program I used constantly. It was like windows-98 all over again.

You definitely shouldn't just download the cracked version of the character generator. It hasn't been updated in years, and you can use it offline. That would be wrong.

For that stuff context is everything. If she takes it in a good natured way and they are not nasty jokes in the photoshops it may be OK. But given everything else we have heard about the place the entire environment sounds toxic as anything.

 I just sent out a bunch of emails and only a few people got them! I can help you with that, when did you send them? Earlier today. Some people got them, some didn't Are these people service providers or customers? Are they the service ticket emails? No, they are here at the office That's weird. Who are some of the people who didn't get the emails? I can check the logs Joe, Tom, Sue Hrmmm I don't see any messages to them that aren't going through. Did you send them from Outlook, the service program...? CBS Sport's website Huh? It's for the March Madness basketball pool Seriously? Yea *calls rackspace to have them check the incoming logs*

It's not pissing me off yet... But today I took it upon myself to label our loaner laptops, bags, and power adapters just so it was easier to figure out which one was missing the adapter that day. Anyone wanna place bets on how long until the labels are purposefully removed by users? Note, these labels are literally just the number on a 9mm piece of label tape. I'm giving it a week.

This is some ghetto-rear end poo poo, the big boss and sales director called me in to ask what an IP address is... I already don't like where this is going. Basically they've got account details for a credit checking service and they don't want the login to be tracked back to our public IP, because we already have an account with them and there's some kind of issue with them. They ask if we can get another public IP to which I say no because I don't want any networking shenanigans, I said there's probably nothing to worry about our public IP showing up on their login logs but if they're that desperate to login to this account with a different public IP I'll just grab a laptop and tether it to a phone cell connection and you can have at it. Didn't matter because they couldn't get the account information right anyway, nothing like the sweet smell of licensing violations.

Did you write 18 rear end in a top hat drafts first to get it out of your system? "To CFO: To ensure data integrity, and the speediest conclusion of the migration, the IT team should be the ones to perform the task due to our specialization in the systems involved. I feel your team is better served working with their specializations, and we can ensure they get back to that as quickly as possible." Bam! Plays to their ego, while underlining your expertise.

I don't want to see or hear anything more about credit cards, ever again... For the past week, been working on converting our retail stores over to a new credit card platform so we can accept EMV, contactless, etc.. We have been burned several times due to the liability shift, so it was made priority to make the switch ASAP. Some issues have cropped up at our test store. So I've spent several days running register and ringing customers out so I can see the issues myself that were coming up and figure out how to solve them or report them to the developer. Its been "fun". What has surprised me (though it shouldn't have I guess) is how many times problems are the fault of the customer. A huge amount of people simply don't know how to handle EMV cards yet. I thought our new system was simple... Put the card in, pick debit or credit when asked, enter PIN# or sign when prompted. Remove card when prompted. About every other customer gets a look of dread on their face when you tell them they have to insert their card. A few seem to have an irrational fear of EMV cards. Had more than one customer pay with cash when they realized they had to use their chip. People are strange....
