RE: What Are You Doing Right Nowposted in Water Closet
Ordered 2 ssd from newegg. They show up in 2 8"x4"x3" boxes which are packaged inside a 24"x18"x4" box. And lots of those airbag things.
Literally could have fit hundreds of ssd in this packaging. -
RE: Default Domain Policyposted in IT Discussion
I wish i did. The default domain policy here and the default domain controller policy have been modified heavily, rather than making new ones and leaving them default. I have been slowly getting them back to default(i think) by making other policies linked to the same OUs with similar settings then changing the default ones back to Not Configured.
There is dcgpofix from MS. I have been too scared to use it as i am not sure if there is some arcane existing setting that would break things if reset.

I get great bandwidth for all XS ops except import/export. Migrating vms/storage is almost always 100+MBps

Books are always better with everything.
Books contain so many more details and a ton more "time". If you duplicated a book to a movie you'd have like a 12+ hour movie and spend a billion dollars. YOu just can't. So it's all pick and choose.
I think Peter Jackson did a decent job with LotR, at least remaining true to the spirit of the story while not including 100% of the details.
Tolkien was terrible with prose. He couldn't write himself out of a box if he tried. His world building though was phenomenal, and that's really the only reason you read the LoTR or the Silmarillion. The Hobbit was slightly better but still only for the world elements.
Actually, I don't like his world building, either. I find his worlds to be two dimensional and nonsensical. It doesn't feel like a "living" world. Things are big and overdramatic in a world that is empty and pointless.
Only my 2nd downvote ever on this site. You choose HP over LOTR, come on. Not even in the same league. HP is double A minor league in comparison to LOTR.

RE: Falcon Heavy launch todayposted in Water Closet
@irj said in Falcon Heavy launch today:
It sucks that I live 6 miles from the space center and I have to drive 50 miles to Orlando for work. We get such a great view from our back yard. Our old house was only 3 miles away from KSC. The entire house would shake for regular rocket launches. The first 3-4 times it launches happened at 6am, we would wake up like we were under attack lol.
Cocoa Beach was awesome for watching launches when i lived in Orlando. though you couldnt watch Shuttle launches from there, they closed the beach for those.

RE: Historical Data Retentionposted in IT Discussion
Generally only as long as required by law, and not a day longer.
For financial firms it is something liek 3 years on site retention, 7 years offsite retention. -

@thwr I think Xiaomi are not sold in US. Or if they are, not widely available. They do make some nice phones though.

You should know, the reason people hate it and disable it, is that it never works right.

Some of the mods need to be included with the actual game. One of them was warehouses, literally store a shit tonne of resources.
Otherwise in the non-modded version it's just a tiny chest...
That is the biggest thing about mods, when the community fixes things the devs should have. I remember that there was a community patch released for Civ IV that made the game so much more stable. It is now included in the game by Firaxis if you purchase it from Steam.
That's basically the story of the Arma franchise. The base game is all but unplayable until you introduce a ton of mods.
All Bethesda games are this way as well. Vanilla Skyrim is just bad, but with just a few mods it can be so much more.

@momurda said in Crypto Predictions:
@computerchip Im sorry but no. Not only do gold and diamonds have zero value as well as crypto, actual currency has value because governments say it does.
Cyrpto will never be given that status.
Crypto currency peddlers are like TOR users. Generally bad people doing gernerally bad things to other people. Sex traffickers, child porn peddlers, other people who want to do bad things with fake money anonymously.Several governments have already done this. It's not just predicted that this will happen more and more, it's already happened.
Which ones? the ones that host shady tax and banking laws for tax evaders in the US and around the world?
The EU? Not likely.
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/02/european-bankers-scoff-at-bitcoin-for-its-risk-huge-energy-inefficiency/
The US? The US is so corrupt from bottom to top at this point it wouldnt surprise me if the US becomes the only government to accept bitcoin, just so thievery by US leaders can be accomplished more easily.
Russia? Yes probably, but they choose oppression and tyranny over and over again for the last 200 years, so yea.
India? They cant even provide reliable water and electricity for the majority of their population. I am sure accepting bitcoin is high on their list of todos. Oh wait, no it isnt, it is officially banned.
I could go on, but the reality is you can say whatever you want, your actions define you.
Mining bitcoin is stupid as fuck and a huge waste of electricity, and supports the worst sort of criminals mostly.
Not even started talking about how making fake money by running a math program on your computer is like... boasting about being a millionaire even though you inherited all the money from someone else without earning it, or becoming rich by being a 'day trader'. -
RE: Powershell: Get Office Softwareposted in IT Discussion
@momurda
I just tried using the MAP toolkit from MS as i thought it would be a useful inventory tool. You know, since MS makes their money selling software, you would think they would make a tool that would let you inventory their software and tell you license info.
It is just another half assed .exe from MS that really does nothing useful.
It tells you how many pcs you have that are 'ready' for a certain product, not what is currently installed, no license keys, nothing useful.
Seriously what is the point of this?
