I think it's the abundance of exclamation marks. That person is SO PUMPED to get her gun hiding permit.

Oh. My. God. Someone is obeying the law by getting a permit to conceal a handgun? In a country where it is perfectly legal and normal for law-abiding citizens to purchase, own, and carry firearms? GO TELL HR NOW! THIS LADY IS OBEYING THE LAW AND IS OBVIOUSLY A PSYCHO!  There's no possible way that her passport is for something like a vacation or...here's a thought, maybe just to take a commercial flight within the US? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/13/real-id-law-facing-backlash-from-states-refusing-t/ Guns do stupid things to people's minds, as is evident here. I'd bet that all of you here in the US have probably been within 5 feet of an armed CCW permit holder multiple times in your lives in public places and been none the wiser. If owning a gun somehow magically makes a person a psychopath murderer, then everyone here is magically a super-hacker by virtue of using a computer.

Obviously there are fuckos out there, but given the population of the US and the sheer number of available guns, if every person with a gun was a serial killer it should be happening every second of every day. But since that's not the case, I can only assume that most people who legally own guns are not batshit insane.

Anyone who's excited !!!!! about being able to walk about with a loaded hand gun all day, shouldn't be allowed to own fire arms. Also if you are bringing a loaded gun to your job in an office, you're a nut case.

Would it be possible to go back to bitching about tickets and leave this to another forum? To contribute: we acquired a new company. I'm suppose to assist with integrating its products into our support organization. They have no reporting. They do not have tickets. Customers email a support alias and then there's a group (which contains everything from product managers to developers to sales people) who collaborate to fix the issue. I asked why they don't have support at least look at these things first, before having everybody in the world abandon everything. Turns out no one in support has even the tiniest bit of training on the product. They support something else entirely. I think I have my work cut out for me.

Where did it say she was bringing the thing to work? She doesn't even have the permit yet, so wtf are you even on about? What if she was assaulted at some point in her life and is happy about the feeling of security she is hoping to get from a CCW permit? There could be literally any number of reasons why she is excited about it, none of them nefarious. What kind of stupid blanket statement is "someone excited about guns shouldn't be able to own guns"? Who gave you the authority to be the thought police? It's okay to be opposed to guns, but stop making GBS threads all over some lady you know nothing about just because she mentioned the word "gun" and it triggered you.

I'm starting to think helpdesk doesn't read the ticket emails and replies directly to the subject. Fake names, obviously. Dana submits a ticket through our ticket form which has fields for desk number and software the ticket is about. For added measure she wrote "LINDSEY NEEDS HER CENTRIFY PASSWORD RESET". To their credit, she got an instant reply: "is this for you or someone else? What program?" Dana sent the guy a response that was barely more polite than, "loving really dude?" so I guess Lindsey is staying locked out all day.

So a text message, phone call and Facebook message came in. Being an unemployed bum doesn't stop family tech support. My mother-in-law had a "small" computer issue. By small I mean sage 50 was puking on itself as it normally does. It was throwing database errors when opening company files. So I did the standard troubleshooting and eventually contacted sage. After being transferred around a bit I got a tech on the phone who told me the only fix was to factory reset the desktop. Mother-in-law wasn't happy about this option and neither was I. Did some more digging and figured out the issue was a bad update. Tried to uninstall sage, 1603 error. Manually uninstalled sage, reinstalled and it was fine.

"Reinstall your OS" is what tech support tells you to do when they have no idea and want you off their phone. Unless you are Apple. I love reinstalling OSX. It's no hassle and fixes god damned near everything anytime I do it.

I remember my teacher in my A+ course (circa 2010) saying that dual cores were used because increasing the clock of single cores was taking too much power and making too much heat, so we would never see clock speeds above 3.0ghz.

blackswordca posted:So a text message, phone call and Facebook message came in. Being an unemployed bum doesn't stop family tech support. Oh man, I just had my first encounter with Sage. We provide app servers for customers to run our software, and they can install third-party software if they pay us extra. Client was having memory issues so provisioning just threw a second server at them and went "Have fun!" meaning it was 50/50 if their users got on their original server or the new one with nothing installed on it. They had Sage on the first server and it worked fine, but they couldn't open anything from the second server because it couldn't find the database connector. I did a little googling and suggested they install the database connector on their SQL server and keep all the company files there so they can access them from either server. I spent a couple of hours loving around with something I wasn't sure would even work before telling the client that we'd need to contact Sage support - at which point they tell me they already did and Sage said it wasn't possible, so now they're going to have the people who use Sage log into the first server with the admin account to bypass the load balancer so they can do their accounting. I asked the provisioning team how they'd dealt with this for other clients and they said "well all the other clients using Sage have one server so it's never come up!"

I remember being told there was a cap to how many Ghz you can push through a processor before it starts ejecting atoms basically becoming radioactive and we were getting close. I'm sure there is a limit to just how many Ghz a CPU can go, but I'm pretty sure it would be limited by the speed of light and not some crazy theory that eventually server rooms will require lead shielding suiting up and hot swapping CPUs every few years because they are decaying. I think every school has a crackpot teacher that has wild theories that they love to teach students and they also teach early classes that no one wants to teach. That or they just like to gently caress with the people that are going to drop out.

I can kind of see where they are going, although I would suspect it would melt before it irradiated things (sorry Fallout case mod builders!).

Meltdown means the material actually starts melting everything it sits on, until it entombs itself deep underground. You want a fission event for producing radiation.

This happened at my old job on my last day. Still makes me laugh. A vmware agent call us on Friday the 31st of December to let us know that the license of vmware is expiring tomorrow. Colleague talks with the agent and together they verify that, yes it is expiring tomorrow and then he answers "Yes, but can it wait until Monday?" They were calling just before we were gonna close and go home.

CUCM subscriber is using 100% constantly and causing weird errors on phones. I know jack poo poo about CUCM, get the helpdesk to raise a TAC. After some back and forth we get this gem. quote:If the server experienced unexpected shutdown then i will recommend to rebuild the server Is this a common resolution to a hosed cisco server? It seems somewhat excessive when the "unexpected shutdown" was two months ago, and we only started seeing issues about a month after that...

Cisco have been worse than useless lately. It's taken them since July to November to provide a replacement dial plan as a customer is having issues calling some 10 digit UK numbers (Stupid places that didn't go to 11) The change went through in November, and didn't fix a drat thing, and then we got into a festive change freeze, so I now have a ticket sitting getting more and more customer attention because Cisco can't do their job.
