  • You won't ever get this type of misalignment with the tiddy method. You can get distortion of the pattern.

  • Cute naming schemes are for people who don't have lots of servers. At my work we have over 700 servers. We're not naming them after something arbitrary, we're being descriptive.

  • Space war is old, those are from my childhood.... Shit.

  • Sports Night and Studio 60 are the ones I watch over and over.

  • It seems legally that the only way to legitimately have a rom is to rip it yourself. For example, I own 1943: Battle of Midway and Flying Shark arcade machines, but I would likely have to dump the roms myself to legally be able to play then via emulation.

    I have ps1 and ps2 games that I have ripped the isos for, but I have c64, Atari, and nes games that I can't dump without significant expense.

  • Unbelievable. You, [subject name here], must be the pride of [subject hometown here]!

  • Also:

    Child, all the service thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done to me. . . . because we are opposites, I take to me the services which thou hast done to him. For I and he are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him.

    Therefore if any man swear by Tash and keep his oath for the oath’s sake, it is by me that he has truly sworn, though he know it not, and it is I who reward him. And if any man do a cruelty in my name, then, though he says the name Aslan, it is Tash whom he serves and by Tash his deed is accepted.

  • Nothing at work is personal, it's all business. If you believe it's personal you will get taken advantage by the company.

    That's not too say that there won't be personal issues at work, just that the company doesn't care about anything except the business.

    In addition, HR isn't there too protect the employees, they are there to protect the company.

  • That's a great addition. We used to screenshot it with an application open so they would keep trying to close the application. I had a coworker restart their computer several times before he realized what was going on.

  • I love riding my bike. Any kind of bike. Road, mountain, cruiser. Going hard, going easy, uphill, downhill, it's all fun as fuck.

    I like running when I'm not super fat like I am right now. There's something great about running a faster pace for the last half of a race and feeling stronger at the end than the beginning. When I'm fat here's nothing worse than running a quarter mile and having everything hurt and being exhausted.

    Lifting weights is ok, but nothing I look forward to.

  • I'm sure I'll play Portal this way the next time I play through it. I've played a couple of levels on GeForce Now. Looks very pretty.

  • He will be baked and then there will be cake.

  • My top 5 C64 games:

    Impossible Mission

    Racing Destruction Set

    Jumpman/Jumpman jr

    Beachhead

    Bard's Tale

  • Whatever. It's not really admissable. People talk about tons of things that they don't actually do. For example, I talked today on teams about deleting a problematic app from our vcenter just so we didn't have to deal with a compatible issue. Didn't actually do it.

  • It all should be like radio. Report what you play and pay for it based on your viewers.

  • Says the dad of a good band.

  • You don't even have to go back very far. Look at the 737 Max. Boeing fudged the training requirements and allowed purchasers to cheap out on the safety gear and killed 346 people.

  • When we first switched to JD Edwards, it still sent the passwords in plain text, and our Oracle partner set up our weblogic instances over http instead of https.

    I had to prove I could steal passwords as just a local admin on a workstation before they made encrypting the traffic a priority.

  • It's similar in IT. Almost no one recommends regular password changes anymore, but we won't pass our audit if we don't require password changes every 90 days.
