Naked Bear posted:Oh, that totally happened. Somebody did that to the entire Army in, what, 2013? 2014? I think it was 2014, because I was definitely in Afghanistan when it happened. Someone somehow replied all to the entirety of the NIPR address book in outlook. The worst part was that it was some dude trying to get help with his kids or something because his wife left him and suddenly his story was being sent to half the DoD.

A Bad Poster posted:I recall a story about a company's web server getting crashed because someone accidentally sent an e-mail and cc'd everyone in the company. Then people would reply and tell people to stop replying and so on and so on. Was it this year or last when someone managed to send an email to everyone in the British health care system, NHS? Like everyone working in healthcare in the entire country. Then the mail servers crashed like this.

I asked a couple of friends who I likely heard that from, and one of them confirmed it was him. Best part is he worked for a web host so all the client's web pages got taken down by it.

I remembered something like this happening between 2015-2016. Same story--a dude in Korea was trying to get some help with a family situation and it accidentally went out to a huge distro of people. I felt pretty bad for that guy.

Pretty sure is was 2015, right after I did my final out. I remember hearing about it and laughing, knowing it would never bother me.

If ANY of you have any ALIBIS before we leave the range, put them in the ammo can "Yes, DS, here's my alibi for the night of the murder, written out. Do I put it in the can or...? That seems more like an affidavit, anyway."

spacetoaster posted:It is a word. Fight me. It's a bowdlerization of a root word-suffix pair. The root word being orient, the suffix being the verb tense adding -ation. In present tense you "Orient yourself." Past tense, "Oriented". Somewhere between the two is "Oriented". Not ated. Ated is not an English suffix. Not even in the sense of "you are ated the gently caress up". Swag is for children. Imperium is for man. Language is the cornerstone of Empire.

EVA BRAUN BLOWJOBS posted:550 GB is laughably small for a shared e-mail server I was attached to a PAO and the entire media server that was allotted to us to use to upload media to dvids (when we got our allotted satellite time, usually at like midnight) was 130GB or so. IIRC the entire server used by the JTF media side, including files for vetting and poo poo, was like 2TB. We broke the rules and got approval to plug external HDDs into the server blade directly (located ON TOP OF the soundproof recording booth, just to ensure that all of our recordings had a bassy fan noise to them) so we could swap files more quickly than over gitmo's congested 10base T or whatever network.

Never seen the show, but there's a general in our army whose intelligence is extremely high, and patience is extremely low. I worked for him years ago and it was absolutely orgasmic to watch him break down and destroy field grades in briefings. He's the guy I heard that phrase from (while he was yelling at some idiot giving a brief).

Five years in the marines hosed up my ability to spell and vocabulary. You're constantly around people using words in wrong ways or words that don't exist etc. Some of the obvious ones are easy to screen out like "behoooove" but some stuff just seeps into your brain over time

Words are parsimonious and their definition really depends on the culture using it. The fact that you understood what wrong words were and the meaning implied with them is a good example of that.

It only goes so far, though. 3/4 of my platoon was from the Ohio River valley area around WV and Ohio and many of them were functionally illiterate. Like it was bad enough that the S1 routinely made me sit down with them and rewrite sworn statements because they were barely intelligible.

Way too weeb-ish My wife's Amazon playlist is k-dramas so I'm at least moving up. Its definitely a Sanrio show (you'd know them as the makes of Hello Kitty). I won't pretend not to enjoy it, but I'm also friends with tons of people with soul crushing corporate office jobs, and I've always liked cartoons.

Like it was bad enough that the S1 routinely made me sit down with them and rewrite sworn statements because they were barely intelligible. We had a motor sergeant from that part of the country and trying to figure out what he was saying was like trying to solve some kind of verbal puzzle. One thing I remember in particular was when he was directing the guy operating the boom on the wrecker he would say "down more let" instead of "let it down more". He was filthy as hell too, as in always dirty and shaggy looking. On the other hand he could fix poo poo pretty well and didn't mind hard work so  I will never forget how hard I laughed the day he nailed himself in the balls with a slide hammer while removing a broken torsion bar on an M1.
