@Lakshmana here is how we quit jobs in 'merica.... (don't actually do this)

Install it twice? (2x32=64)

I take the stairs and I have to park far away from the office door. I also got lots of exercise last saturday walking around at a beer festival.

Remember, if we need to refer to "them", we should use the term "Big Orange". Not to be confused with the president, who will now be referred to as "Big Orange Idiot". I hope this clarifies things for everyone.

The Intel compute sticks have had not great reviews when I last researched them. Might want to do a bit of checking.

Nothing that small is all that awesome.

That's what she said?

I just realized that I pass one of ATL's best pho spots every day.... Vietnamese noodles are in my near future.

If you have the space, back the data up to another location and blow away the RAID 5, toss the sick drive, rebuild into a RAID 10. Far less risk that way vs. add a new drive and pray that it rebuilds, plus no extra disks needed. The sooner the better on making a new array, I don't know if I would risk replacing a drive in a RAID 5 array (I'm making the assumption that these are 1TB + drives, which means that you have about as much chance of a successful rebuild as you have of getting hit by lightning).

I've always practiced a policy of "never discuss science with those who subscribe to any religion". This has saved me immeasurable time over the years.

I've known plenty of atheists with piss poor understanding of science. Of course, if one's religion clouds their ability to reason it doesn't really matter, but you can find a lot of die hard conspiracy theorists and flat earthers who are atheists too. There's one famous flat earth guy, I think his film is called "under the dome", anyway he thinks it's aliens, not God which put us in this dome.

Atheism is not an automatic sign of being reasonable or intelligent.

Who said I was atheist? That's as bad an "ism" as all the rest. I am fervently anti-religion, all of them. I believe in science, not in re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-translated stories from thousands of years ago.

Nobody, I never said you were an atheist. I was merely pointing out lack of a religion doesn't mean they're intelligent, which is what you basically said.

Actually, I said I don't discuss science with religious people. Nor do I discuss it with idiots or otherwise unreasonable people. When not at work, I surround myself with intelligent people.

So what are you defining religious as then? Any faith in anything or organised religion only?

I like to torment my religious friends by calling their religion a cult.

I was actually raised in a cult, so I actually have done this and find it hysterical.

All religions are a cult. That is the definition of the word.

Yeah, cult isn't a bad word to someone religious. Christianity based on Christ's teachings is just the "Cult of Christ" for example. Or Islam the "Cult of Mohammed."

But to most American Christians, it is a horrible nasty word and they get offended.

American christians are super easy to offend, especially in the south. It can be loads of fun if you feel like tormenting someone.

The only advice I can offer is to ditch the Cisco phones and get anything else. They're more difficult to flash... they basically want to connect to a cisco phone system.

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! Headed to the beach in just 2 hours!!!!!! And there is a lovely lady waiting on my arrival....

PDQ inventory has a free version, it will pull Dell service tags.

Ugh... our hosted spam filter is down... their entire domain is unreachable. but I guess that's what we get for using some podunk Alabama spam service.

I'm going to go with.... yeah, podunk Alabama spam service sounds like a bad idea.

I would agree, but the bosses here have a soft spot for nostalgia... they were originally based in Huntsville. I will be finding other alternatives today.

I use appriver. There hasn't been a blip in over 13 years.

Our service is now back up. Their tech support said there was a cut fiber somewhere on their site, so I guess they spliced it in record time.

The simple answer to "why virtualize" is that if you don't, everyone here will make fun of you (ask me how I know).

Back in the office, still sick, tons to catch up on (including a production DB server that died while I was away - 2 simultaneous drive failures, yay!) Oh, and my truck won't start, so it's basically gearing up to be a shitty week.

Truck won't start? I had to look back up and make sure it was you and not @jyates posting. Sorry about the lousy situation.

And then I get to work and the boss says "you sound sick, go home". Could have saved some cash not taking Uber here and back.

Get some rest and feel better soon!

Thanks, I'm about to go do exactly that.

I'll keep my door locks dumb, thanks. No reason to have a network connected deadbolt, especially if it only works with crapple stuff.

We have a barely used Hitachi StarBoard (interactive whiteboard) available if anyone is interested. I decided to list it here before dealing with craigslist or ebay. It's an FX-Trio-77 (model # AH00243). I found 1 listing online selling for $249, but I will gladly take less than that. We don't want to throw it out, so if you or anyone you know could use this item, DM message me here and we can talk price. Since it is kinda big, shipping could get expensive (item is located in 30005 zip code), but the price is very negotiable for someone with serious interest. Local pickup could be arranged if you are in/near Atlanta.

Anybody who feeds their cat a vegetarian diet needs to have their cat taken away.

I would say that we should use vegans to feed pigs, but the pigs would probably develop a superior, condescending attitude.
