Like seriously, hand it off to whoever gets rid of biohazard stuff in that clinic or find someone who is qualified to dispose of contaminated materials, you shouldn't even be handling that without a (short) training on how to make sure you aren't endangering anyone.

If you enjoy it, just because some other creepy gently caress likes the same thing, doesn't mean you have to pay any attention to them. I'm sure there are plenty of normal people who find a few things fine and interesting beyond what they normally like, but they wouldn't bother to voice it. Creepy fucks probably also like drinking water and breathing air. Those things are still satisfying. The internet just gives assholes a giant voice. Pay no heed!

Actually valid, though.

GreenNight posted:The problem is that we don't want people to use their mailboxes as file storage. No thanks. I understand the actual management concerns, and I hate it when people constantly try to send enormous attachments to everyone, but the technical reasons are mostly gone, so instead of saying we can't do it when some doe eyed user says "2TB drives are dirt cheap" we should simply say "we don't want you to use it as a dumping ground. Cost has nothing to do with it."

I couldn't get excited about a game on 7+ year old console. I'll pass unless there's a PC version. GTAIV looks so bad on the 360 and the frame rate so poor compared to even a midrange PC these days, that I don't even want to see what it does to a much, much larger world with more detail. (I own GTAIV on PC and 360). vvv UniFi is neat. It's also by far the best thing available for the price. If I get a house I know I'll be fitting UniFi APs.

Same thing used to happen on Windows 2000. I changed my own user (at college) account on one PC to use Dvorak. Later on, I saw a sign saying the PC was out of order. I used to tear the sign off and sit down at the same PC again, since I could type on it fine. Dick move? Not really, it was unexpected that it would change it systemwide when I only had pathetic user rights. Very odd.

I kept running into that problem, so I just set it to make the icons small. Here's some screenshots: drat, there's no need for all those systray icons to be visible. I've used my taskbar vertically for a very long time. With small icons and a bit of width to it, I can see the text for each running programme, and fit a lot on.   (No, I'm not doing very much at the moment). I put it on the right of the left screen, so my larger screen is always 100% free (at home, this is has the bonus of letting me see any notifications while running a full screen game).

rolleyes posted:Jesus christ just let it go. He likes high strength beers, you posted a link implying high strength beer drinkers are snobs. It doesn't take a doctorate in psychology to see that might make someone react defensively. Also, something about that is hilarious, because strong beer in the UK has classically been associated with tramps. Cans of Special Brew and Tennants scattered around.. But the truth is of course very different. The trips I've made to Belgium for example always result in me feeling overwhelmed for choice on the very strong, very delicious beer front. Tramps still like Special Brew though. (Not that bad, I guess). Edit: ah balls, this is now totally out of place

We use F-Secure, upon my recommendation based on research, and an anecdote posted on these boards at one time. It's been working away nicely for some time now, and it doesn't make much of a fuss. The management tools are decent enough. Beat the piss out of Sophos that it replaced, in my experience anyway.
