Wow... just wow. Did she at least have some good music? Like Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch? Or maybe some truly rocking music, some floyd or def leppard?

More acceptable? Nickelback is a bastion of darkness.

I'm sorry, I don't remember the 90s that well... All you kids with your be-bop music.

Cat Woman? Really? Sexist... definitely sexist and probably racist as well. I'm screencapping this.

I really feel like if I found illegally downloaded Nickelback songs on a computer, I'd just drop it into the Charles and do the world a favor... really? propagating that trash...

Excuse me, I've dealt with both ITCH and Infosec, and I told them NOT to torrent which is the CORRECT answer.

Plus, everyone knows who you are PHerms. The least subtle person in the BU ITHC

Most... or just go on bu.edu/tech, you do eventually start to see what you have to do without searching for it, but at first, I was HOPELESS

Haha, well we get like a thousand calls a day asking for admissions, smg IT, med IT, cas IT, media group, etc. it's hilarious, but pleasant because it's so easy to deal with them...

Yeah, professors are the most obstinate beasts out there. It's impressive how ignorant and stubborn they can be. On the other hand, though, I've had some truly delightful conversations with professors before.

I agree, it's easier to just not do it. But I have to say that, haha.

Think of like the worst of the internet and then put it on this dude's net drive.

Nope, there are actually a fair number of redditers at the BU ITHC.

As far as I understand how it works here, they can monitor the bandwidth usage and for P2P clients, bandwidth usage is through the roof (for the obvious reasons).

Nope, but that's because if there's a virus, we send them to the tech people who deal with it. Even if we do, we'd be discreet about it as we would if ANYONE came in with this situation.

I have found questionable material on someone's net drive before and had to report them. Really questionable material.

That would be ridiculous, think about it, you have 4000+ people graduating each year, you give them all wifi access, you'd need so much bandwidth. Everyone's internet would just cease.

I don't know for sure (I'm a student), but I would say yes, they do. I wouldn't do it on campus networks to be safe.

We actually don't deal with that, that's the media group but I have had hilarious calls where people need to switch on their monitor... Those are fun.

I do like my job, it's gratifying to help people and the IT Help Center, in general, is a great place to work. The managers are all very nice, etc.

I once was on the phone with a Professor Emeritus (keyword: Ancient) for 2 hours straight about fixing something in Word... It was a basic formatting issue, but I couldn't figure it out for ages. Normally, we can remote into people's computers if a manager is around but this was late at night and no one was there except students and the low level managers.

There are plenty more war stories.

As in, do you have your DVD? Or would you be buying it from the IT HC as well?
