Microsoft can you release some service packs or streamline .net updates so they don't take forever and take a ton of reboots?

Do you guys schedule "deep" scans with whatever antivirus software you use? We have ours scheduled every Thursday starting at noon and that poo poo lasts until I'm about ready to go home, basically. It brings the computer to a crawl and annoys the hell out of me.

Everyone gets laptops so that's not really a great option. I mean, I'm not unreasonable. I don't see a great solution, necessarily, but drat it if it doesn't still annoy me.

 Figured I'd share that issue nobody can figure out. Somehow, this user checked in a 0 KB version of their document and lost all of their changes. This cannot be reproduced. All I have are the ULS logs from when it happened.  Let's just say I'm glad I have a bottle of Macallan 12 in my desk.

Fuckin PBX in a Flash. Its based on asterisks and is great, especially for being free. However it has some weird issues and good luck searching the internet on how to fix it. Stuff like this is why I can see why corporations go with the paid stuff with SLAs. However, can't beat free, especially for our smaller clients.

Yeah. Last time we got new laptops, my manager's manager asked me for advice on specs. I don't know if he's going to again, but if he does, I'm going to push SSDs for all.

Yeah we have AV scans scheduled for sunday nights (like 10pm) when people should be in bed/with family/whatever that is not work. If you are working, well, deal with it.

We have been switched over to Office 365 for our email. The regular webmail.company.com now lets you login as normal, then notifies you that you should go to this Office 365-portal for the new webmail. Once you go there, you login again, then you are redirected to the actual company's login site, where you get to login for a third time.

poo poo pissing me off - netbeans. It's truly Office of the code editor world. Oh, your computer restarted? gently caress whatever you've been editing - the file is now empty. I don't understand how can an application truncate the entire file - but that's netbeans for you. Oh, you want to search for something? By the way, I've replaced every occurence of what you've been searching for with a thing you replaced previously (replace something, search for a thing - it repeats the replace on newly found elements, even though you only want to find the given things). There're also other things (like the inability to turn off function hints), but these two piss me off constantly. edit: also grats to UI team for coloring the background for search results to same color that currently selected text is. If only sublime had better UI (and properly working code pretty'ifier) I'd dump this piece of poo poo. edit 2: vvv If it were free to use, I'd gladly switch to it (all I really want is - navigator, as a tree, for project files and any sensible code reindentation functionality). Thanks for the recommendation either way! canis minor fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Sure they charge $270 for an ssl cert, but you can contact someone quickly to resolve any problems through web chat email or phone. They support two factor and the admin interface is comparable to most in ease of use.

Swink posted:User is idiot and doesn't realise it. I had someone pull this on a project I'm working on, he claims he updated a shitload of changes (he's our client) and that they've disappeared because I was also working on the same document and I must have hosed it up. My manager publicly sided with him and told me in private he knows that the guy just didn't do the work required of him. I just did the work since it was like an hour or two only but jesus if you're lazy/incompetent/whatever don't try to drag me down with you fucker. *edit* when I say my manager publicly sided with him, he asked me to go through the revision log and look for the changes and update the current document with them. I looked for about 10 minutes and realized it was a waste of time and just did the changes to the recent document myself. MF_James fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Inspector_666 posted:During a meeting the other day I had to say "If you're going to make me a firefighter, you are going to find me standing next to burned down houses sometimes." Holy poo poo I need to steal this. My name ends up on every single failed project because I get called in after it is already going down in flames and frequently they are beyond saving by the time they arrive with me. My favourites are when I have fingerprints on a project during the initial phase with me (on the record) saying "This is a bad idea and we should revise these requirements while we have the chance" and getting overridden and then again trying to save it when the project has blown up in our faces due to those requirements I argued against. And somehow this ends up not falling on the heads of the greedy and stupid loving sales people heads/

Trying to figure out a solution to a problem in a 4 person quick huddle and getting told to quiet down while the 8 person team on the other side of a cube wall yells about halloween at the top of their lungs becuase our direct manager is out, and this manager thinks they are the fun police for our group. They are a complete coward though so they wont talk to the other group, just bitch at us, becuase as I said our manager is out so there is no one to tell them to go away. We are getting our own space first quarter next year. Cannot wait for the change.

Manslaughter posted:For the past two years I have been serving part of my job as an uncompensated email monkey for another employee. Back when I started there were three of us watching a shared email box and grabbing the incoming issues based on what the ticket was about. Fast forward to today and the activity for this email box has greatly died down. Now there is only one person handling 99% of the issues that come through that email, but for some reason this joker won't add it to his watched inboxes, so I have to forward every email that comes in to his address directly. This wouldn't be so bad, but then instead of writing the client back himself he just replies back with a "tell them this:" message, so that I'm the one that inevitably handles all communication with anyone and ends up getting called or emailed for issues when I haven't worked with the product in a long time. Delete the shared box, create a new mailbox/group that forwards the mail to his address directly.
