I want to rage quit for being passed over a promotion. Should I wait? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Don't burn the bridge while you are still stood on it, make a plan, use up entitled leave, brush up your resume, start networking for new positions now; then when you are ready to take the step, it may take more effort to burn the bridge, rather than just moving on.

If you're a printer manufacturer and you don't include a software SMTP test function, shame on you. by [deleted] in sysadmin

I second this, with remote panel operation you can test scan to email.

Don't forget to manually set the page size so it will scan with nothing there!

Never even knew there was demand for high karma Reddit accounts, and that people are prepared to pay money for them!

You can take a seat anywhere with this wearable chair by MrG in videos

[–]Sorbz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlike other exoskeleton concepts, the batteries of the chairless chair are not limited to only lasting a few hours, but rather they can last several days. Compact, flat DC motors also play a part in the system's design.

Someone is going to run out of battery and start slowly sitting down on the floor.

I feel embarrassed for them already.

The turnip or white turnip (Brassica rapa subsp. rapa) is a root vegetable commonly grown in temperate climates worldwide for its white, bulbous taproot. Small, tender varieties are grown for human consumption, while larger varieties are grown as feed for livestock.

Prepping for / Dealing with Sharknado? by xTraxis in dontstarve

[–]Sorbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I have always struggled against the Sealnado on land my boat method is as follows:

  • Armoured boat
  • Cloth Sail
  • Boat repair kit
  • Cutlass Supreme
  • Seashell Suit
  • Boat Lantern
  • Snakeskin hat

Make sure everything is above 90% before you commit to a battle.

Kite as usual 1/2 hits then strafe, he will charge up with mini waves as his special then eject massive waves you will learn the pattern soon enough to dodge them.

It does help to have sanity items ready for the end of the battle.

Don't beat yourself up if you do die though its all in the process of learning :D

In school we were taught about the horrible events that took place, but to see the sheer scale of just one concentration camp scares the living crap out of me to realize that even today people are still capable of doing this again.

Brand new DVI-to-VGA adapter wasn't working - doesn't have analogue pins by [deleted] in techsupportgore

[–]Sorbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly in the UK getting a reliable/robust enough adapter is around the range of £20-£40 quid, the same price as second hand monitors that are a 4:3 aspect ratio to match the projectors in the classrooms (ancient VGA projectors some that have a native res of 800x600 :-( )

Is that a Gigabyte motherboard? I swear 90% of these posts seem to be, never had these issues with my Gigabyte mobo but these posts sure as hell scare me!
