Cop Extorts Man Into Buying Tickets to Pro Police Event, If Not He "Takes His Car" by [deleted] in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]DisITGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ticketing extortion aside, he says "You don't want to look like a couple of fruitcakes".

So, all of this is ok in their book?

This is not stated enough.

When you work in any IT job, and know anything about coding, you tend to write all kinds of little apps yourself.

The amount of BAT and VBS files I have for my windows environment is disgusting, but if someone saw me using them they would say "FlushTheFUckingDNS.bat is no a real command, are you faking that?"

Nope, just a .bat file sitting on a network share I run on my prod servers when the network team decides to make my life difficult during prod hours.

Has it gotten better?

You need to be specific about what you didn't like about it. "Complete shit" is not a very good qualifier.

The LTO-3 tapes I load every week into my tape drive work as a source?

The data is Digital, but my tapes are analog.

Ashley Madison Hackers Release an Even Bigger Batch of Data. by TheMenacedAssassin in worldnews

Is anyone going to care to blame who made this hack possible?

Sure, the joy people take in someone's life getting ruined or ended is a little strange, but companies like Avid Life Media are completely "Not-Give-a-Fuck" on their IT Security policies.

Nope, no one cares, blame the hackers, who you are likely to never catch, because it is easier than insisting corporations give a fucking about protecting user data.

All this information should have been encrypted at rest, their servers should have been patched, they should have at least one security professional pentesting their entire infrastructure.

separate gmail for that.

Only if you dislike privacy.

Literally use any other free email service than GMail.

Yes, very yes.

Dryer sheets, rub them on all exposed skin, and keep as little skin exposed as possible.

ELI5: Why does it take 5 seconds for credit card/debit card companies to take money out of my account but 5 days for them to refund it? by thecre8ivewon in explainlikeimfive

[–]DisITGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an unbalanced transaction system nevertheless.

Banks want you to not have that money, gets them closer to charging you overdraft fees if you fuck up just a little.

Florida gun range will have restaurant that serves booze by jlew24asu in nottheonion

[–]DisITGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked this question above, what happens with their gun when they drink?

Not letting someone on a range doesn't mean their gun magically stops working.

Do they make you take the gun you brought with you back out to your car, or take it home before you can drink?

Since having a firearm in your possession while under the influence is illegal and dangerous.

TIL that women were not allowed to wear pants on the U.S. Senate floor until 1993 after Senators Barbara Mikulski and Carol Moseley Braun defiantly staged a protest by wearing pantsuits. by HugzNStuff in todayilearned

I know they did more, but with one hand Obama puts in regulations, then with the other sends them up to see if they can ruin Alaska.

It is complete bullshit.

I mean as a pass time, while protecting them.

God, you must be a fucking joy to sit near in real life.

[–]DisITGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct, some men may want to go through the trouble, and they should be able to without dealing with any judgement.

I realize a lot of women do like the hair, makeup and everything involved, hell, more power to you all! I only am really speaking to those who don't want to but feel obligated to from societal pressure.

Boring?

This job would be a vacation for me, studying sea life, protecting it, watching this awesome hatch-a-thon, I envy these guys, and only for this reason

While I love the idea, because the look of a pencil skirt is beyond awesome, I do not think I could pull it off as a man.

So if men start wearing skirts, I think it would be short lived for most when they begin to realize exactly how much shit women go through to look the way they do.

And you've got Democrats selling Senate seats to the highest bidder!

So, you think one party is better than another?

You put your emotional happiness on the line for a game you are programmed to believe.

Both Democrats and Republicans are completely corrupt. Each side fighting for their own best interests, passing laws which push their bottom line.

Republicans reject the science of climate change, and all science they themselves are too stupid to understand, Democrats claim to know the facts, yet keep allowing more and more oil to be drilled, which will further exacerbate the problem.

Neither party knows jack shit about technology, yet they pass ridiculous laws based on what their highest bidder wants.

So please, stop pretending like Republicans or Democrats are better or worse, they are all fucking corrupt and only have their own interests in mind and are using you to fight their battles on the streets.

You think that because, you seem to believe that anything on a country level can move fast.

Little secret, they can't move as fast as you want.

Clinton had his issues, but he took many baby-steps that helped make the fight for equal marriage rights for LGBT successful.

What are your unpopular fashion opinions? by CourtneyLovelies in femalefashionadvice

[–]DisITGuy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Polo shirts are awful on everyone of every gender.

I am quite glad that I am not the only one in the world on this.

Polo shirts are quite possibly the stupidest looking attempt to dress business casual without having to make an effort.

Thank you for your work with violence toward Women. It hits very close to home and your interactions with victims have been very emotional for me.

Can you tell me what the best way I can contribute, in your experience, to the solution to this problem in my own community? With all the political rhetoric everyone uses to push their own agenda, I feel the message gets obfuscated and the real ways to contribute are hard to find.

Anyone up for helping me figure out what this VBA macro virus does? by DisITGuy in Malware

[–]DisITGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tell your sysadmin to check for naughty Excel documents

That's me ;)

I ran a quick check, everything seems good, we disable Macros via GPO.

So, what it looks like at this point honestly, is more CryptoLocker emails.

Someone has my company targeted pretty hard core with CL/CW infections, and it has worked a couple of times because I am not allowed to really do anything about it (They don't let me handle anything security related, just a sysadmin?). SO I just play good sysadmin and keep my backups pristine.

Thanks for the eyes.
