The problem is, the people I want to talk to are either on skype or hangouts or facebook messenger.

RE: RTS Gamesposted in Water Closet
That being said C&C Red Alert 3 was very good. C&C Tiberium Wars and Tiberium Twilight were decent but really odd.
I wanna get Red Alert 2 working again. Generals was not as good as RA 2 as something new, but still a really good one.

RE: PDQ inventory vs Spiceworks... which is better and why?posted in IT Discussion
Spiceworks is a performance hog.
I've had it sitting on a client site for 2 weeks, it failed to do it right.
PDQ inventory I have never used, but what we did go for was Lansweeper.
Incredibly fast, really good features, they even write the scripts to do custom reports as part of their support for you.

This is so fake.
Yet not unbelievable if we think about the world we live in.

Funny, someone at CradlePoint spiced up my post about Pertino being rubbish

Then they realised and took the spice up away.

They wanted 50K to make it, they got 2 million. That's crazy...
They should be okay

Forget the lottery, invent a gadget and kick-starter it.
Flip sakes!

RE: My new HP desktop is Da Real MVPposted in IT Discussion
Haha. Imagine if I over clock my system

It's got plenty of cooling and grunt to do it. So why not.
Oh and the system is coming up to 2 years old nearly.

RE: Ubiquiti Switchesposted in IT Discussion
This same site had HP access points, Terrible, constantly breaking down, annoying to maintain.
Now Ubiquiti, I never hear complaints, performance is great and managing them is simple.
So I am hoping to try the switches too.

Chernobyl. Lesson from the past.posted in Water Closet
Someone linked me over to this imgur gallery. Very detailed collection of photographs and text, very well put together if you have any interest do check it out:
I got about halfway through and found this:
This is 26-year-old Senior Reactor-Control Engineer Leonid Toptunov, one of the control room operators. He made a mistake when switching from manual to automatic control of the control rods, causing them to descend much farther into the core than intended. This resulted in an almost total shutdown of the reactor. Safety procedures required that the operators fully shutdown the reactor, as the RBMK became unstable at very low power. Unfortunately for the whole world, the Deputy Chief Engineer in charge that night - Anatoly Dyatlov - insisted that they continue. Over the next hour, the men struggled to bring the reactor up to power, disabling various safety systems in the process, and then began the test.
In this case, looking back management had set guidelines and standards, engineers had designed the system with protection and fail-safes, which were suitably over-ridden by the supervisor at the time.A quick check on Wikipedia reveals the same message.We've all made mistakes but have you had a time when you told someone "No, go ahead" and it turned out to be the wrong call?

I like how NTG does it. You just... take time. It's very informal. There are no limits, there is no earning it.
What is this modern madness...stop being progressive for a tech company. You need to be working backwards not forwards.

Just upgrading firmware now.

I don't watch videos.
So all your recent little video responses are lost content.
Would you preferred a MangoLassi Podcast instead?
Text summaries are immensely helpful. I can guess at the content but there will be plenty of users who check in during a work day, can't watch a video then don't come back to view later unless its something they really really want to see.

That's actually pretty clever, most users won't notice the trap closing until it is too late.

Here's what I don't get though... If the cars have an IP address, why can't $manufacturer push down updates that way?
Because if they cared about doing things correctly, this would not have been possible to begin with.
