You see, if the kids can't learn about any of this, they won't know how to do it and it won't be a problem Meanwhile over here in Denmarkland one of our local politicians got a straw up his rear end and wrote a scorching letter to the editor lamenting the state of out school IT setup. Each pupil is handed a laptop when they start in grade 2, and get to keep it until they leave primary school. But there are no web filters on the things, and the kids can watch porn on them! When the letter got published the rest of the city council, the headmasters' association, the teachers' association, and the parent-representatives of the school boards reminded him that they all endorsed not having any limits on content when the project got set up. Coupled with our price estimate for a viable blocking solution that outburst went nowhere fast.

Wouldn't be surprised if DC was top 5. Alexandria floods at the slightest hint of moisture and most of DC basically sits in the water. It is a swamp after all. I'll bet DC is lower than LA.

There are desert areas below sea level, right? So perhaps it's one of the Midwestern States. I don't know if DC counts since it's not a state. If so, it would only prevail since it's so tiny. Lots of other states have low-lying waterfront but then they've got mountains inland to make up the difference... So I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like Delaware or Rhode Island, which are proportionally comprised of more embankment than larger States.

Last day of work at my radio station job (as a DJ/announcer), boss hasn't have anyone come in for training for my position, has been skipping work to avoid me since I turned in my notice and hasn't asked me to document a single thing. And I don't even have to care anymore. Their XP computer network that's super secure with a DNS filter on a consumer router will surely protect them when I'm gone

Is this seemingly systemic problem from the fact that these guys are mechanical / electrical engineers forced into systems administration, which seems kind of close but has absolutely nothing to do with one-another? Is the CE position slowly dying out because of longer lasting radio hardware and increasing creep of digital systems? These legacy guys all seem absolutely terrible at their job, but they seem to have so much power in the workplace and I'm so interested in how they came to be.

A request came in. The Admissions Director asked if I could figure out how to import a list of new students into our management system so that they can just feed it a .csv file instead of having to input 120 students one at a time each year. I poke around and figure out how to import a student and have it assign them an ID number and everything looks fine. Time to test. System posted:Student Testy Testarooni successfully imported! Awesome. Let's try multiple students. System posted:Students Testy Testarooni1 - Testy Testarooni20 successfully imported! Fantastic. There they are in our student database, ready to be officially enrolled. I let the admissions director know that it can be done and set up a meeting so I could walk him through it. Alright, let's go delete all these fake students. Whoops, you can't just delete students. You have to fill out a shitload of expulsion paperwork for each student. So here I go, filling out paperwork to expel twenty variations of Testy Testarooni for the superintendent to approve. gently caress me.

At least make your day better by coming up with awesome reasons Testy is getting kicked out of school. "Placed human excrement in Urinal on 12 occasions" "Sang happy birthday off-key" "Added fake users to a live environment without a roll-back plan" e: "Smuggled lamb leg in purse, ate it during school-wide presentation"

It's a proprietary student management system to keep track of student information, paperwork, schedules, and grades. I'm literally the only person on campus with the ability to import or export, so we cool.

This would be pretty loving impressive considering there hasn't been a mainline halo game released on the PC since Halo 2, 9 years ago. Microsoft doesn't want it to be cross platform because then they'd be competing with themselves. No the twinstick shooters and Halo Wars 2 don't count.
