It can help you (the underling) feel involved in the process rather than just having someone shoehorned in above you. This assumes everyone is an adult and they have considered and discussed the potential of said underlings to move up to take the position.

KillHour posted:We use 3:4 monitors at 1024x768, and I asked my boss when we were going to get monitors from this century. His response was to get mad at me, say the resolution is fine and it's all anyone should need. "What, you want us to buy everyone 22" widescreen monitors!?!?" Answer: no, 27" monitors. 22" works out the same size as a 17" 4:3 chopped in half, you are losing screen real estate. You can use http://www.tvcalculator.com to help match equivalent sizes up, a 19" 4:3 is about a 24" widescreen. MrMoo fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Jan 13, 2016 |

At my last job, most people had tiny crap monitors that were quite old. There came a point where a new big monitor was cheaper than a new tiny one, but there's political issues to consider. If you buy the new guy a cheap 22 inch, then everyone is suddenly going to need a new one as well. It can be cheaper to buy an expensive small one that won't cause jealousy. tldr: gently caress office politics.

But you should consider removing local admin rights as part of a comprehensive security policy.

I need to move to Florida ASAP. Does anyone know of anywhere with lots of opportunities right now or good recruiters? Preferably somewhere I won't be murdered in my sleep, most of Florida I've looked at seems to have crime rates that explain the Florida Man twitter.

She wants Florida because she's always wanted to live someplace tropical and she wants to make the best of leaving everything we've ever known. She actually feels better in humid heat as well. If we hate it we'll probably just move somewhere else within a couple years. I guess that's the benefit of the modern corporate climate, you want to jump around at least every couple years anyway. E: It's bad enough we don't know if she will last the winter, so I'm willing to go about anywhere. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Jan 13, 2016 |

You should move to Oakland. That recruiter worked for my company and I moved for the job. If you'd like more information of be happy to provide via PM/IRC/Email or ask Lampey.

Good industry here and all the heat and humidity you want! Sure oil and gas is crashing but luckily we have enough diversity that it won't be as bad as it was in the 80s. Medical is growing like crazy right now.

The cloud providers and the software companies have a licensing agreement that covers this. I'm on my phone but try googling Microsoft hosting licensing and it might get you in the right direction

So my girlfriend randomly tells me yesterday: "Hey some of my guildies from Guild Wars 2 got me using this other chat platform that isn't Skype and it's so much better!" Oh yeah? What is it? "It's called Slack." So apparently she happens to play with some IT goons.

Kind of IT related, I had to reboot my rental car yesterday. Rented a BMW to drive up to Seattle, at one point had to get up on the gas to pass someone and the car started misfiring, threw an error on the display and was running like complete poo poo. Limped to the venue, turned the car off, restarted it, problem gone. I literally had to turn it off and back on again to fix it.

Anyone know of any software that you can install on a Mac that will let you set a list of domains and IPs that the computer cannot talk to? Organization I work for issues everybody macbook air's since most of our employees are constantly traveling around the country. We have had an issue with a number of them trying to download files and getting caught by those "download THIS" advertisements that redirects them to a malicious download. I have an adblocker installed on every browser on every computer, but apparently this isn't enough, so... time to find something a little more robust.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was hoping there was something we could install that would point to one of our servers to get updates, so we could update the list here and all the remote people would have their list update automatically. I mean, the hosts file works, but it means I'm going to have to get access to each users computer individually and then update the hosts file... every time we make a change. With about 200 remote users and only 3 helpdesk people, that's not going to work well.

We run Casper, but the Senior Support Services guy, the dude who doesn't want anyone but himself to have admin access to most poo poo, hasn't figured out how to use it to deploy updates or... really anything but get info off of the machines. I'll see if I can badger him into figuring out how to push an updated file. Since that won't cost us any more money, he will probably get off my back on this project (and, you know, never actually bother figuring it out).
