I got lucky with my Rocco. It was previously owned by two engineers that fixed any little problem it had including fresh motor mounts and shift linkage right before I bought it. He even got a real leather shift boot to replace the lovely pleather one that comes stock.

Tusen Takk posted:The only problem I've had with my ION is the trans when I first got it, and the A/C that just went out. On my ION (.... it's Ion, damnit) I've had my serpentine belt split in half, followed shortly by the belt coming apart (granted, it was supposed to be replaced at 100k, and it broke around 105k - the tensioner has what looks like a casting flaw that ate through the belt), had my thermostat stick open (kept driving it for a year like that, for most of that time it would only bitch and throw a CEL in the winter until very recently, so I finally replaced it), and my fuel pump took a poo poo (covered by an extended warranty - fittings cracked and it started pissing fuel from the top of the tank). I've also had one of the coils take a poo poo on me, which left me with 2 cylinders firing. Unplugged the injectors for the two cylinders that weren't firing and drove to a junkyard to get another ignition cassette (the L61 uses 2 coils in a batch fire configuration, so if one coil shits, you lose 2 cylinders). Even when the belt broke though, it didn't leave me stranded. The water pump is driven by the timing chain, so it was more of a "poo poo, I have to drive it 20 miles to my mechanic without working a/c and without an alternator, I should pull the fuse for the electric power steering to make sure I don't completely kill the battery" inconvenience. I'm pretty drat annoyed that my sunroof broke though, that's going to cost a decent amount to fix.  It still opens and closes with some help, but makes some ugly noises doing so.Broke 121k today on mine, bought it with 66k. It could use motor mounts in the next year, and the a/c compressor is getting noisy, but it's close to paid off, and it still uses roughly zero oil between oil changes (it has a minor leak from the valve cover, but between that and whatever it burns, it's little enough that I've never had to add oil between oil changes). Last time I was under it I found an inspection hole in the bellhousing, and noticed the clutch is fairly worn, but I'd say I have 1-2 years left (assuming I keep doing delivery, otherwise probably 5 years) before it starts slipping. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Sep 15, 2015 |

Wish I had done that*, bought an '08 GTI and now I'm destined to a life of constantly topping off the oil because it's constantly burning it, and occasionally checking the cam follower for the high pressure fuel pump because if you don't there is a danger of the fuel pump pin wearing a hole in the follower and then scoring a big groove in your camshaft. Oh there is also this:  See that silver ring around the shift pattern? Yeah, that's aluminum. Take a guess how loving hot that ring gets during the summer. *Not really, the car is a blast to drive and I kind of love it.

Since you guys are bitching about new cars, the Fiat500L pushed itsway into my top 5 least favorite oil changes. two different types of screws to get the lower splash guard off, and then you have to go ahead and disconnect all the valves from the air box, take out the top half of the airbox, to get to the filter and it takes 5w40 synthetic. Customer was bitching that it didnt end up being the advertised 19.95* and that it took over an hour to do with Napa taking a good portion of the time bringing me the filter. Car only had 27k on her and already had torched front rotors and was leaking oil into the airbox from the turbo. Made in Serbia indeed.

Protip. If you're going to order pizza online to be delivered to your workplace (or really, to anything where one address serves more than one person)... #1, give a suite/office/whatever # if the address has more than one business (in this case, 15 businesses) #2, give a working phone #. The # on the order was disconnected. I'm not going to walk through an entire shopping center to figure out which business ordered pizza in the middle of lunch rush. There are over 50 storefronts in that shopping center, though they do get split up a bit depending what section of the shopping center they're in (each section has its own street address, though most of our drivers don't know this - Google Maps just plops you into the parking lot for the entire center). #3, if you see a guy walking around asking the most common customers in that shopping center if they've ordered a pizza, while holding a pizza, it would be helpful if you step outside and speak up. We only have two regulars in that entire center, so those were the two I went to. Customer did eventually call to ask about their order, apparently they mistyped their phone # (yathink? I was getting a 1970s landline "this number is disconnected" message instead of the "The <mobile phone carrier> number you are trying to reach is not in service"). Making it better, the website still asks if it's a business, apartment, house, etc, and "House" was selected. There are plenty of places you can enter info about where you're at when you do an online order as well.

No, I don't. It very well may be 25 years. Brigdh posted:In the US market, the S4 FCs had static belts, the S5s had the motorized ones. The S4 belts are a straight swap into a S5 chassis. You should be able to find the S4 belts at a local junkyard. Also get the A-pillar trim, the B-pillar trim 9upper and lower), and the headliner. And you will need to use a spot-weld drill to remove a bunch of welded on mounting tabs for the Series 5 trim. Been there, done that, still looking for a burgundy sunroof S4 headliner. quote:As far as the warranty, its for the life of the vehicle. See the official letter linked here: http://fc3spro.com/TECH/PROBLEMS/INT/sbelt.htm Well, there ya go. some texas redneck posted:I'd still consider that a fail, personally. Disaster or not, there should be something handling DHCP. Having to run around to every workstation in an actual disaster event to manually enter IPs and DNS is just a lot of extra work, adds another layer for human error, and hinders productivity (even more than the disaster itself, if the site is close enough that your staff can show up within an hour or two). Yeah, I don't know what the gently caress I was thinking there - we definitely have multiple DCs. One for every facility, at the very least, and multiples at the IS location. I assume that they do failover testing for the production DCs more often. And yeah, cold site, restore from scratch. I'm thinking that DHCP was left out simply because there were only going to be 20 end-user devices connected at most, so it wasn't in scope for this test. We're basically just working on the back-end recovery, and enough PCs for end-user testing of said back end. Keep in mind I'm just a desktop guy, so I don't have a deep involvement in anything beyond the PC on that desk, there. Powershift posted:god drat, the mad max game is janky as poo poo and slow as balls. it's like the creators have never played a video game or seen the movie. Really? Seems to work fine on the XBone. Stutters occasionally from something going on in the background, but not very often. I'm enjoying the gameplay. Powershift posted:Yeah but all the on foot stuff is slow as hell and it keeps forcing you to get out of the car, and climbing ladders only works half the time and there's more bullshit talking in the first 5 minutes of the game than there is in the entire movie. I don't mind the out-of-car combat/quest stuff. Ladders work fine on XBone, can't speak for PC or whatever. Agree on the cut to the "do stuff" animations. It also resets the camera, so you have to look around before moving, since your usually not looking where you were. that, and some glitches here and there with respect to pick-up item/action labels. Sometimes some weirdness with collision detection where poo poo will just go shooting off at high speed in a random direction, but most games seem to have that now and then. e: what in the gently caress happened in here on Thursday?

I don't mean to sound like an rear end in a top hat; every company needs to test their disaster recovery plans regularly, and it sounds like you found some flaws with the plans your employer has in a practice run, instead of the real thing, which is good.
One domain controller for 15k employees? No backup controller?
I've worked in places with 150 employees that had a backup DC.

I spoke with an attorney who said it wouldn't be worth going to court over, as it was highly likely the restraining order would be denied based on having several states between us and me not living anywhere close to places they might visit here. I should also add that they met while he was deployed in Iraq and about 75% of their relationship before getting engaged was over instant messenger. Don't get married when you're in the military.

Darchangel posted:Yeah, I don't know what the gently caress I was thinking there - we definitely have multiple DCs. One for every facility, at the very least, and multiples at the IS location. I assume that they do failover testing for the production DCs more often. When a $35 consumer-grade router can handle DHCP for 20 devices (we have about that many in the house), and an enterprise DC can't, you have issues.  Good thing it was a test.The only issue I have at home is the switch takes a whole 2-3 seconds to start up, while the router takes about a minute - so if everything turns back on when the power comes back on, a large chunk of stuff winds up with APIPA addresses. Until I power off both the switch and router, then power up the router, wait for it to finish starting up and getting an IP, then power up the switch. All of the PCs in the house are set to "state before power failure" for power stuff - so if they were on before the power went out, they power back on as soon as the power comes back on. If they were off, they remain off. Thankfully our power doesn't go out often, but I think I'm going to get a small UPS for the modem and router (hell, mainly the router). I'm sure I could figure out some kind of timer or whatever to allow the modem and router to power up together, wait a couple of minutes, then power up the switch, but  and  . That or I could just assign static DHCP leases, but that's also , and would still require setting the PCs to not power back on after a power failure. Which would suck, since we have three HTPC PCs serving as DVRs in the house. I could always do static IPs on the PCs themselves, but it's a lot easier to do everything via DHCP.

InitialDave posted:Yes. "Comments are closed on this article". Yeah, I bet they are. Can't be arsed to hear about how much of a oval office you are. "You don't get boy racers in a Fiat 500." WHAT. I bet if the guy had scratched a pair of Ferragamo shoes you would have lost your poo poo. Why is it impressive or desirable to show off your wealth buying shoes with a fancy name and Italian leather when you can't walk any further in them? Surely a lady confident in her lady credentials would be happy in a pair of Converse, walking comfortably down the street, winking at the men going by as she shows how sensible she is by not wearing ostentatious, useless shoes. The level of fancy of the shoe is in direct proportion to the level of morality of the wearer. You don't get haughty bitches in sneakers. Ostentatious shoes worn selfishly by the unthinking are a accessorized symbol of all that's wrong with this wealth divided world. And don't get me started on Ugg boots in the city.
