evobatman posted:I came back from 4 weeks of vacation to find a perfectly fine laptop in the electronics trash. Apparently it had refused to PXE image itself no matter what my coworkers had tried, so they threw it out. That's still a nice laptop, and far from the sort of thing that's worth tossing in the trash. Core 2 has some serious staying power.

Galler posted:All season tires are garbage unless you get the really good (expensive) ones and even then they're worse than winter or summer tires during their respective seasons. There's a reason all seasons are frequently called 'no season' tires. I don't know; when I was researching tyres for my car, I ended up buying Bridgestone A001 all-season tyres, because they performed supremely in standing water tests, which stood out to me. Pretty appropriate for British weather, where it's pissing down a lot, but ice and snow are rarely concerns that last. My economy didn't suffer (I recorded every tank for the whole time I had the car) after replacing the Michelin Energy that were on it before, but the cornering grip difference was incredible.

Talking about old versions of IE, what the hell is going to happen when Microsoft decides to stop updating IE in Windows 7? After all, it's now in extended support, yet I have zero faith in the market share shrinking significantly at all. If anything, it'll still grow as businesses still come off XP, and won't touch 8 with a barge pole.

Danish structure isn't that hard, and most of the time I can now guess how to pronounce a word correctly (even if I have zero clue what it means), and I can bumble my way through reading parts of the newspaper (I should be better by now), but trying to listen to what people are saying and process all of it is hopeless. I can pick out the odd word then attempt to guess. Of course, most people speak English anyway, so, eh. Going to language school soon, though, so hopefully I won't suck. Being English doesn't prepare you very well for actually learning another language, because honestly, most language classes at school ended up being seen as irrelevant and taken with less respect than they deserved. Not that it would have helped me with Danish, since it, or a language close to it, was never an option. Rolleyes, I would say you are welcome to stop by (if you had the time), but I highly doubt you'd be coming anywhere near where I live, the absolute rear end-end of nowhere.

rolleyes posted:Yeah unfortunately it's a big ole road trip through a few countries, so not really any time for detours! Some fun hints can include g being randomly almost silent, although that's usually after a vowel, and when d is after a vowel, that's fun, because it's a mangled sound, and absolutely nothing like a d. Oh, and if you see two 'a' it's the same as å, which you think, might sound like an a? Nope, more like o. I'm sure it'll surprise and delight. Well, have fun on your trip! Edit: Ah, my delay in going to the language school was caused by a mix up, where the attentive and ever-vigilant civil servants noted my arrival year as 2012, when it was 2014. vv Yeah, seems right.

I am leaving my position and one of the things I did while here was setup a VMware environment. It has worked super well with 0 problems. I came in this morning (this is my last week) and found out they are migrating everything OFF OF IT. So, you did your job correctly, and just because they don't understand it, they're pulling it apart, wasting even more time and money? Well, that sure is something.

FlapYoJacks posted:The best non-color printer ever made was the HP LaserJet 4L. So slow. I'm partial to the 4#00 series myself, they were everywhere and weren't slow. I've swapped out many parts on them (maintenance wear parts, some companies actually replaced parts before issues arose due to high print volumes! proactivity? what is this, you say) and they were always easy to work on They also had a less bulky design compared to the 4, more upright, easier to carry around I don't have any hard numbers to back any of this up though, it's ages since I dealt with printers I've got a Brother colour laser printer at home.
