"You owe me $20" "Ok, hold on, let me get into my car, drive down the street, look for parking, get out of my car, wait in line, pay an extra $1-4, drive back down the street, look…

Army brat, I've been everywhere!

I've worked for several MSPs and yeah, I mostly mean Windows. But we worked on just about everything. Especially Cisco/Dell CLI equipment (routers, switches, etc).

Boy that's interesting, I've never thought about it. I'm an American who grew up in Germany but have an Italian and German family who grew up in the projects of NY (the Love Canal,…

I'm devops and in my opinion the title infers this; my job is to keep the communication between developers and the operations teams in sync and copacetic. Usually, Ops doesn't know…

I'm part of the recent sysadmin generation that had no programming skills and grew up doing what I consider more "application administration." Lots of clicking Next with no real un…

Some people have more money than time or interest in spending that time grinding games. I've been level 12 in Battlefield 4 for years. I don't get to play it more than a few times …

Oh, I got this! Worst wireless reliability I've ever seen in a business. They keep putting out 'fixes' to wpa2 authentication and we still have constant issues in our office when g…

I'm actually not a fan of the hardware at all. I hate that I can't buy an actual dock to dock, so I'm unplugging ghetto caddy every time I want to take my laptop home from the offi…

I'm the opposite, I loathe big laptops. I always used Thinkpad X's or the Vaio Z's connected to monitors. That way when I leave I just pop them off the dock and carry them out the …

Man, I finally a few years ago got completely comfortable with OSX and scripted so much stuff that I can set myself up basically anywhere in 5-10 minutes. Now I'm stuck on a MBPr a…

If you've ever submitted an iOS app and had a youtube frame/etc that allowed unfiltered searches, the app submission team will nearly always look up "Violent," and reject the app b…

Oh no, I didn't get that at all. It did sound like you were saying that only people with severe issues need CBT though. I think that every single person would greatly benefit from …

I would be hard pressed to NOT recommend CBT to someone, even the most positive and least anxiety-filled person. If you believe that CBT is only for someone with severe anxiety or …

Partitioned off open workspaces please. NOT the wide open "everyone is equal" cafeteria setup where every single noise/movement distracts each person.

Geez, oh yes. They built their platform and decided to start reselling it. That's why Netflix, Pintrest, Airbnb, Expedia, Foursquare, NASA, the MLB all use AWS. They converted 100%…

McDonalds doesn't make money from their website, which is the problem in your comment. If we were comparing McDonalds we would be comparing their fast food infrastructure. If you w…

Your last point is completely untrue. I've programmed Asterisk systems for large call centers that specifically had supervisor modes where the supervisor could monitor calls to mak…

I've been a network administrator and had control of everything. That did NOT mean that I was actively viewing everything and sitting in a tower somewhere cackling at all of the de…

It is absolutely ridiculous to be uncomfortable with managers seeing employee communications. First off, any time you log in to a machine at most corporations you're told that ALL …

It's an extremely specific library and anyone who needs this sort of thing will easily find it in their search.

You're commenting like I refuted or disagreed with you about something - I was just positing the opposite, that yes, because of what you said it's more difficult for someone who wa…

No where did I refute that.

I didn't mean go on a long vacation. I meant disappear and start a new life. You wouldn't post about that on social media, you'd just pack your bags and go. But social media will h…

On the flip side, if you're an adult and trying to "disappear" for.. whatever reason you've chosen (it's your prerogative), social media has made that difficult.
