Well, personally, when testing a system I've set up for image, I'd test in the user environment, not the admin one, so that I know that what I've set up works in the account it's meant for.

Why do you test user restrictions in the admin account?

Re: Great murder choice.

I once tried walking into a small room where there had been a rapid burn of petrol vapors. High concentration of CO2. Took one step in & virtually bounced off it as the breathing reflex kicked in with a vengence. Felt like dry heaving, but with my lungs instead of stomach.

By contrast, we had an environmental test chamber at work which was chilled by liquid nitrogen. We had to have oxygen meters installed to trigger an alarm if the O2 partial pressure in the room dropped too far, because of the exact reason you stated.

Re: Parts of it date back to when fire was invented

Similar thing happened to my sister. Although she was smart enough to use only a small amount when lighting the garden waste in the incinerator, AND she ensured the metal can was sealed & well away from the incinerator before going back & lighting it. Safety first!

What she learned though, was what people didn't put enough emphasis on, just how fast petrol evaporates. No major damage, but she looked quite surprised for a while after that, from dim memory.

Shoulders...

When you hit one side with one shoulder, then ricochet off & slam the other one into the other side before, finally, pinballing your way through.

Here you go!

Re: Not at all suprised

Did you do their other clients the courtesy of notifying them that their details were exposed? They might have wanted to change as well... Once they knew.

Re: It's Phil's fault!

Nobody seems to be able to justify the silly thing anyway. Safety, energy conservation, farming considerations...none of them actually hold up under critical scrutiny. Time to dump it.

It did when it was introduced, as it meant that people could do the things they needed to after work without needing artificial lighting, thus lowering the energy grid requirements during the war, (when it was introduced, I believe).

These days, however, you are quite right, and it serves little functional purpose.

"What is this "must" you speak of? Where does this compulsion come from?"

Oh that's easy! It's in the software requirements, (written by someone who doesn't understand reality...)

Re: Problems

With the VOIP systems they already have, they can, and do, already do this. Perhaps not with an actual MS number, but with other ones.

It is no more difficult to do, than putting a different email address in the 'Reply To' field when you send an email.

I don't know about the hedgehogs, but apparently* the hamsters are NSFW...

*I've never had the need, nor desire, to go check it myself.

That one happened to a friend of mine in the late 80's.

User, "I think my monitors on fire."

Friend, "What!?"

User, "There's smoke coming out of it!"

Friend, "Have you turned it off yet?"

User, "Are you crazy!? I'm not going near that thing!"

Cue friend running out of the building, up the street to the other building where the user worked in the pathology lab, & into the lab to disconnect the monitor. Turned out that they has spilled a significant quantity of ethanol into it... (or maybe water, not sure any more.)

Re: so easy to get in

Well, neither of you tried to leg it, so you passed the first test of "Are they doing something they think they shouldn't be?"

"Smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave."

Re: Primarily able-bodied

I remember that episode!

Maybe in a few places, but it wasn't at all common.

I've never heard the term before now, & was using them when you had to boot from your 5 1/4". But 8" was a little before my time.

Re: Exchange?

I've just been reading up about the period. I now realise that that saying was propaganda put out by tax collectors. The reality is you never get rid of the geld.

On the contrary, you definitely get rid of the geld! (Geld==gold)

Re: My OCD is firing up

Quietly start replacing the 'motivational' posters with ones from Despair.com.

The new gods move in different ways, take Media for example. She can arrange all of that if she wants. (Or at least arrange for us to to it to ourselves.)

Because the only account I set up on my HTPC was the one for the install, & I never needed any others.

I tried updating it to Win 10, but the software I like to use on it doesn't work on 10, and none of the alternatives, (Windows or Linux) did what I want as easily and simply, if at all.
