Broken Machine posted:yes. Their analytics showed that people replied more quickly and often to texts sent with a separate app, so the idea was to force people to move to get more business. It hasn't quite gone according to plan. maybe because the implementation of messages in the original app was horrible? if i touch that messages icon, it should just bring it to a screen similar to the one that's in the new separate app. not have a new separate app. i also don't see how they couldn't have seen the drawback of pissing people off by putting it in a separate app

a comcast tech is here atm and hes refusing to do basically anything because i own the modem and don't rent my equipment from comcast how is this not extortion "yeah its a shame your 50mbit connection is only 1.5mbit. too bad you don't pay us $7 per month for your modem. real shame, that"

did summore loving around with xenserver today, all the HA stuff "just works" if you have identical CPUs but it gets dodgy if if you don't. but it looks like the CPU is the only part it's picky about which is nice because one of our problems w/ vsphere is having to find motherboards with raid/ethernet that's vsphere compatible and that's waaaay less of a problem with xenserver

can't find out why but if you're using 2 different CPUs in a pool and the master fails, it just won't let the slave promote to master. I can do it from the command line but it won't do it automatically. but really idgaf because once we get this into production it'll be on the hardware it needs and not just my dumbass test rig made up of old workstations

one time i leased a modem from time warner and the modem went bad they replaced it two more times with modems that were also bad the onsite tech said "yeah, we don't actually throw out the bad modems, we keep using them until four different customers complain" i bought my own modem after that also you break even in "rental fees" after a few months lol if you rent your modem

last time I did a modem swap on comcast they had a quarantine thing for unregistered modems that took you to an auth page so you could punch in some credentials and automatically switch your account over to the new MAC

finally after 5 hours of arguing with the tech, comcast on the phone, threatening to cancel, etc. BangersInMyKnickers posted:lease the modem from them for a month or two until they fix their poo poo then return it and plug yours back in i wasn't about to pay them more money just to find out that a leased modem would have the same loving problem. it was a line issue, the modem was completely fine (shocking) also shaggar: leasing a modem is for absolute idiots. the sb6141 is $70 at costco; renting is $7/mo. if you have the service for a year you're already paying more than the modem costs for absolutely no reason

my stepdads beer posted:it can use masking so if they're similar enough everything will just work too I tried this from the start but it just wouldn't autopromote a slave if the master failed. Didn't matter which machine was master. I could promote it manually if I ssh'd to the remaining machine though. HA-Lizard threw an error message along the lines of "this server isn't privileged to become master" despite it being the one selected by the pool to autopromote. couldn't find anyone with the same problem, I'm assuming it's just some really obscure edge case with the two computers I was using to test (they're old core2 HP desktop, one has a slightly newer CPU)

anyone know a good place online that talks about programming the physics of an object with a force applied to it, taking into gravity into consideration, acceleration and deceleration in a 2D environment? nothing complex about the environment or the object needs to be taken into consideration. the object will just be a ball and when it hits something it explodes or i'll figure out how it will deflect if i ever need that. just real simple where something like a cannon would be shooting it out at any angle

lol our "dba" doesn't want to run oracle node manager as a service and instead wants us to start it as a scheduled task nevermind that the oracle documentation explicitly says to not do this and we in fact already tried this once due to a lovely contractor and it turns out that scheduled tasks have a low processor/memory/io priority which makes your massive database run like dogshit because inactive pages are constantly getting paged out good job idiot really earning your money this week

I'm thinking about writing this thing to do translation between similar but different databases. The schema in XML which can then be used to generate tables for the data. Both data and schema are delivered via a relatively simple web service. initially my plan was to use SQL to build the tables from the XML schema, but it got to the point where I was going to have to use queries which generated dynamic SQL, which generated more dynamic SQL to build tables. I'm thinking that C# and ado/linq is probably going to be a better way to go because the code would be more straight forward, is there anything wrong with using linq? I have VS 2013 Pro and MS-SQL. I haven't done a shitload of C# and I've never used an ORM before.

I have a server 2012 vm that throws a bunch of weird errors in the windows event log when the unitrends backup box tells vcenter 5.5 to take a snapshot so it can do a backup of the VM. See below for the errors. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2006849 Basically the fix seems to be to migrate the disks from MBR to GPT. The server has two drives on two separate arrays both of which are in the physical server. It looks like I could take a bare metal backup of the server and restore it to GPT disks using the unitrends unit or I could drop the $140 for the server version of this partition tool http://www.disk-partition.com/compare-edition.html (server ed) I have no problem dropping $ 140 on the tool because doing it automated is much cheaper than wasting a bunch of time. I just want to make sure that it's not something that will lead to poo poo later down the line.
