Cystoscopy and prostate biopsy stat!

Re: government spooks

But what about the children?

We spy on them too.

Edit: damn you, Cuddles!

The next issue is how to dispose of this crap too. Maybe this should be factored into the design and manufacture?

So the assembly line ends with a conveyor belt that drops finished units in a dumpster?

Re: Unfortunately predicable

After that I always produced a PPT with the mission-critical specs to present to those with short attention spans

• When extending the reach of forklifts by lifting them with other forklifts the larger forklift should be used to lift the smaller forklift.
• Always use the side of the industrial fan that the air comes out of rather than the side it goes into when impressing coworkers by stopping the fan with your tongue.
• When driving equipment through the bay doors always make sure the bay doors are open first.
• The vending machines are heavy, try not to pull them over on yourself.

Caligula wanted to make his fav horse (Incitatus) a consul...

I don't believe that was mentioned in the critically acclaimed documentary staring Malcolm McDowell.

Re: Disable TFTP services

I think you need it for pxe. Super-handy for installing winders, just boot a super-basic windows image over tftp, net use a location with Windows installs and run setup. The only crappy part is making sure the basic windows has the right network drivers. That and the part where you are using Windows.

His stuff is parked next to the ark of the covenant, awaiting the attention of top men.

Re: All the best music was written before 1988 anyway

It used to be that selecting a station on the radio was about finding something I wanted to hear. Now I feel lucky if I find something that doesn't make me want to punch someone in the face.

Re: Updating to Windows 10

Remember an OS exists only to run applications.

I don't think Microsoft would agree with that statement.

Re: All fine here

My Windows froze. It was -37c when I woke up.

Re: Your Future Red Hat

Probably more likely that red hat gradually gets hobbled, the employees leave or get laid off, RedHat Linux gets renamed Watson Blockchain AI and gets binned after everyone abandons it.

Re: Same old, same old...

I think that part of the problem is the focus on cybersecurity. More time and resources should be spent securing things that aren't cyborgs.

Re: I can believe it!

I work for a company that sends out all their invoices in emails in a batch run every month. The procedure is thus:

1. Print the invoices

2. Scan the printed invoices

3. Email the scanned invoices

4. Bin the invoices

I showed them "print to PDF" once, but there was no interest.

Re: File a support request?

An azure support agent will reach out to you.

I don't think that groping will help this situation.

Re: Hi-viz bike

The "Professional Hitman Services" along with home phone number in flashing LEDs on the vest didn't help either.
