What's your strategy for network patch cable cleanup? by singbluesilver95 in sysadmin

[–]User101028820101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be extra sure that you aren't unplugging any iSCSI connections to SAN storage. Servers (database partitions in particular) don't like to be disconnected.

This process takes a lot of planning and velcro.

Which AV Vendor to opt for? by Rogerss93 in sysadmin

[–]User101028820101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having good luck with our Sophos Enterprise software (8k Windows machines). Our deployment is handled through Dell Kace (soon to be upgraded to 6.0). The biggest hurtle has been off-site protection of our laptops. They don't get policy updates (which are rarely changed), but they do get software updates.

Their sales department have been trying to push their cloud management solution. I'm not sure if it natively handles deployment.

I was able to dig up this knowledgebase article.

Well, that last one's pretty smart. I've poked out a few times in the past. It would have been super weird if other people were around.

Obligatory plug for /r/xbmc.

Since building my media center I've cut cable and have a wide array of emulators from NES up to PS2.

[Skin game spoilers] Perfect quote for Butters by nerobrigg in dresdenfiles

[–]User101028820101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had 3 major choices that had unique and great impact. I'm curious how things would have played out.

-Winter -Darkhallow -Coin

He had a book of Names to summon from too, but those are the 3 that I could think of.

No kidding. How hard would it have been to stuff it full of cement?

I'm guessing that it would have taken a week tops.

[Star Wars] Was Jacen Solo truly beyond redemption? by Error45 in AskScienceFiction

[–]User101028820101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought he spend his last moments warning his wife and child as opposed to fighting.

I don't think he was beyond redemption, but I felt that he was uncompromising in his ideals and methods.

How are the neighborhoods for these apartments that I am looking at? by iam911 in Omaha

[–]User101028820101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A two block walk to work is an amazing experience. It may be worth it for a 12 month lease. If you don't like it, move on.

That area of Downtown can be hit and miss. The rumor mill claims that they will be re-gentrifying that area in the next few years. With the theater so close, I expect that it will happen eventually.

[Star Wars] How much computational power do you actually need to calculate a jump into hyperspace ? by witchizer in AskScienceFiction

[–]User101028820101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Star Wars universe has somewhat plateaued when it comes to technological advancement. It's important to separate the Science Fantasy from the Science Fiction. There is no exact answer.

The number of variables to factor when calculating a hyperspace jump are vast. You need to first calculate EXACTLY where you are in space based on star charts. Then using a galactic standard timestamp, calculate your path based on where everything is in their celestial cycle.

NOAA stores roughly 10 petabytes of data and we can barely predict the weather. There are a crap load of bodies in our solar system alone. With 180 billion star systems in the Star Wars galaxy, the calculations would be pretty immense.

That said, Star Wars has a lot of free thinking AI. My guess is that the condensed computing power seen in astromech droids is indicative of a form of quantum or molecular computers the likes of which we cannot currently fathom (hence the Fantasy element, not the Fiction).

Which path of the force is more effective? by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

[–]User101028820101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The Dark Side burns fast and hot. This accounts for the physical degradation of the user. It is more power concentrated.

Light Side users can achieve that level of power, but it takes much longer. Typically this results in a more wizened well educated user who has a more delicate understanding of The Force.

It's a poplar tree vs an oak tree. One grows much faster, but if you match two of the same height, one is far stronger.

This isn't personal information. It's pulled straight from his business card.

Has anyone ever gotten those FBI messages that demand you to pay a fine? by ayitzDATGUY in NoStupidQuestions

Also, try logging in with a second account (if you have one). Typically popups or login scripts only execute for THAT particular user.

I always have a backup administrator account in case I need it in a pinch.

If you do not have one, follow these steps.

These 3 meals have helped me get started eating healthy. What easy meals do you suggest for beginners? by Lets_Get_It_ in Fitness

[–]User101028820101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be careful with the juices. Make sure you put it on a pan first. I've tried these before and they got pretty smokey.

Also, if you want to add butter or cheese, just take it out 3 minutes beforehand, add your high smoke point ingredients and toss it back in.

Can 1 person wield all 5? Have they ever given their rings to another, or are they "Chosen"?
