Not to sound like a dick, but this is a business and not a charity. You and your boss should have been fired ASAP. There is no time for a lesson as it's not a charity, but a business. A 19 year old should not have that much power. Your boss lacked judgment.
Sorry it happened to you. But shit happens and a mistake vs negligence and a lack of cautiousness is different. I ask very dumb questions and get chuckles ALWAYS when I change a linked GPO on an OU but they always know that is the SOP. Sccm needs testing, reviews, and run on a vm or test OU first. You need 100% certainty on everything and 90% sure is 10% too much!
If people lost.pst files that millions of dollars worth of contacts then firings are in order. If your not an expert DON'T Do IT. Welcome to work. I hope your very cautious for now on
Not really. Anyone not that concerned or even care pushing something he knows little about doesn't deserve to be in IT. I had people laugh at me when I ask a stupid question with a GPO or membership change, I then explain that's what I thought but wanted to clear etc. 85% is 15% too much!! Can't comprehend this go sell houses or something instead. Plenty of CS grads at geeksquad DESPERATE to get a real IT job just waiting
It makes you wonder where people get these ideas and why they feel so free to spout off without knowing anything. We have google, where is the disconnect coming from?
Fox news, Sean Hanity, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, a million Facebook posts about evil socialists taking jobs and voting Tea Party is the way out etc. Fox news is number one rated and tens of millions listen to right wing radio. They really believe that 50% of Americans all are welfare queens who make $45,000 and get free iPhones which they call Obama phones. Members of government believe the hype too which is why they are so anti Obama.
California is not very employer friendly and has strict over time laws not to mention outrageously high taxes and rents.
It does not make business sense to start there.
Detroit, Austin, Kansas City, and even Fargo have universities, other tech companies. I dream of starting a business but I do not have 1 million dollars a year to pay for a tiny crappy office in San Fransisco. If I did get shareholders I am sure they do not appreciate all their savings going to pay rent rather than for product development. Not to mention your employers could leave in a hearts notice with Google and Apple offering 6 figures on the fly.
I know I sound conservative right now but when you start out no OT, taxes, friendly business laws, can mean you make it or die at the end of the year.
My thought processes are if we fight among ourselves they win as people feel if they straight republican or democrat a utopia will appear if we follow ideology. Meanwhile lobbyists use tactics like this to rattle us out to the polls. They lobbyist is the mega telecom industry. I am sure they lobby Republicans as well.
yes it is true I am a democrat even if I am really pissed off right now over this.
We do have an advantage as geeks right now? It is an election year:-)
If we write to our politicians regardless of party in my other link and their script writters see +900 emails during an election year it will certainly get their attention and rethink what the snake oil lobbyist who said we are protecting innovation since we never had net neutrality so lets not rock the boat etc. I know you feel it does not help but large amounts of angry constituents is something no politician wants months before an election. In 2003 we had a bill that would require DRM to be used by all operating systems and hardware! Remember? Slashdotters emailed and it worked as senators said WHOA What the hell is this?! etc.
If we say LIBERALS ARE THE CAUSE then we debate with each other and meanwhile politicians do not hear what we have to say. Divide and conquer worked well with the Romans and survivor if you are watching the latest round? I believe that is a political ploy that I do not want to fall into a trap of.
There is no need to reboot windows servers all the time either... but let's be honest I'd rather just have some helpdesk flunky reboot it when they call me at a restaurant, in the shower, or at the grocery store than try to explain which services to restart and possibly how to restart them.
Besides looking for reasons to oppose systemd with rationalization like well we do not reboot often, why don't you look into the benefits and why it is replacing init?
SystemD is event based which adds A TON more flexibility than what you can do with init. Also event driver async http software like ngix is multitudes faster than Apache and more flexible based on scenarios. The system can respond to events and if you have a laptop can sleep in one network and wake up in another.
Another problem with init is what designed in 1984 (SysV implementation) where you had maybe 50 programs and shell commands at the most. Things were simple then. Gnome requires how many dependencies? It just is a mess to deal with on a modern system where an event driven and async model would be more appropriate.
The problem is not the database. We all know Access is no PostGres or MySQL. It is the GUI to build forms and store them.
For example you can create a car parts inventory system really quick and easy for a small shop. You do not have to be an expert developer and an average Joe who knows a tiny bit of sql can develop it and have a working solution within an hour or 2. I wish Access was more used than god aweful Excel to store data, but that and File Maker Pro have filled this market.
I thought about starting a file maker/access clone a few years ago that would be simple and could backend to a SQL database of choice. I never got around to it because I knew it would never compete.
It would be nice to a a gui like Access that can work with a web browser too easily. Until that time there is no replacement for File Maker or Office. (Does Apple even make File Maker anymore ?)
Since I favor evolution and non crazy theories of economics I am a dem. Yes they are a sell out but at least wont force kids to pray in school and be taught God created everything 6,000 years ago and climate change doesn't exist when they take science courses.

Typical slashdot. I post I am pro science and against ideology over facts and I get modded down to 0 because it conflicts with someone elses ideology. Typical. Do not whine about global warming being banned from being taught in schools then? Idiots.

Jane do not divide. As it stands it doesn't matter who said what or my party is better than you party (like 4 years old saying my daddy can beat up yours).
Write your politicians no matter who they are. My other post has the links right there including the FCC.
Be polite and email the president, fcc, your senator, and congressman and inform them. Mention different things if they have a D or an R next to his or her name. This is still open for a few more weeks. If we get enough roar both will delay the vote.
If your representative has a (D) in his or her name, tell them how it will unfairly impact consumers and force unfair monopolies more power and ruin innovations with services like Netflix. Mention economic impacts as well. Use Netflix as an example of something that used to work until a few months ago and cite sources where L3 admitted it was being bottlenecked on purpose.
Also both parites are under the assumption that the internet worked just fine without net neutrality and we still had the largest explosion of GDP growth in history. So why change (Mega Telecom sales pitch). So inform them that they were regulated beforehand and this time it is different.
Remember it is not about adding new rules that were never needed. It is about preventing new rules that are not in your emails regardless of parties to counter the FUD of the telecom lobbyists
3. Let the Obama know how you feel? Yes, he does read email and hand written letters every night. Perhaps seeing a large push in volume all angry about this may get his attention? 4. Let your senator know? Copy and paste the email you sent your congressman if he or she is of the same party. If not emphasize free market if he or she is a (r) and consumers and monopolies if he or she is a (D).
Be polite and factual as possible. Yes they are corrupt, but many are inept and get all their FUD from lobbyists. Mention we never had anything like this to counter the fud this is socialism to have the same lane and this is a fast enabler not something that slows regular traffice down yada yada. Mention your IT background too to build credibility.
If enough people whine it may delay or cancel the vote.
The consoles become popular as gaming pcs were thousands of dollars in 2000. It was a rich kids thing and 3d graphics started arriving on consoles. The DIYS market is heating up where for about the same price you can build a moderate pc with a moderate gaming card and be stuck with a controller. The PC market is shrinking but enthusiast and gamers are taking a large slice of that recently.
Game makers who abandoned the pc 10 years ago because of the lack of DRM are returning too as they are making as much money on the pc now as the marketshare increases.
The built in gpu is something like 50% faster and the xbox dedicates 3 cores to the O/S, kinnect etc, so it only has 5 available for games, those are rather significant differences.
I am going to get an Amazon fire and keep my pc for skype and gaming. Too little too late. Maybe with IWndows 9 the app store might be usefull with cross platform desktop/xbox/mobile apps. But not in its current form.
Kinnect does show promise with voice activation and skype which is cool. I wanted one for this reason. The xboxONE had a promise of being more than just a gamer system like the Sony is.
That is until I found out I needed a gold account with a monthly payment. No thanks I will just use my pc for this thank you very much.
I know this is an anti MS tech site but I was favoring an xbox over a PS4.
The reason being is I am not a heavy gamer. I wanted a nice OS platform that was more a media center with a dvr, netflix, skype ready, voice activated system that could play games too but did a little of everything.
Sony fanboys have been saying it is sooo much faster thinking it is 2007 all over again. But in reality the performance differences have been similiar. They are almost the same hardware with the xbox slightly slower but with faster shared ram for more multitasking stuff.
Unless you are talking exclusives I see no reason to chose a ps4 for my needs.... however I did not bother purchasing one as I did not want to pay twice for Hulu and Netflix with a gold account. It wasn't the $100 difference up front of the kinect. It was the greed.
I think MS is making a mistake as many developers wont focus on the kinect now as systems wont have it.
Rebuild it and Putin will then say LOOK! THE CIA REALLY SUPPORTS THE NEO NAZIS OUT TO GET RUSSIANS.
Support can be twisted to mean lots of things.
There is only one way to fix this and it will be war. I can predict the news. Within days the eastern regions will petition Putin to join Russia. Russia will send in forces to secure its terrority (in Russia's mind Ukraine is no part of Russia) and Ukraine will fight them. War will break out.
Just like the civil war Lincoln stated a house divided agaisn't itself can not stand. Same with Ukraine. It is time for a showdown or a shut up and those who do not like Russia according to recent polls in the east will surely put up a fight once it invades.
Right, because that poll simply cannot be wrong. Also, what about the protesters being Russian? They do live there, do they not? How come every medial outlet calls these guys `pro-Russian separatists' while the Maidan neo-nazis are called simply `protesters'? I do not think the facts are as straight as you might believe and Russia does have plenty of reasons to be upset (the NATO expansion in Eastern Europe is a very legitimate reason to be outraged).
They are actually special forces from Russia and not Ukrainian.
Slashdot Mirror
if they have tenure then you can't get rid of them just like that and even then the logs may of been wiped out as well.
Time to outsource then lol
You mean deleting schema of ad in adsi edit?
That app scares the shit out of me more than sccm or anything else. I refer to it as the nuclear bomb of tools
Creating a test OU is free. Virtualbox is free.
If they want blood then this kids boss should get the walking papers. Why did he have this much power and did this alone anyway? The manager knew??
Did you get a raise? I mean, with all that extra experience you didn't have when you signed up...
Huh I didn't know he worked for a bank
Not to sound like a dick, but this is a business and not a charity. You and your boss should have been fired ASAP. There is no time for a lesson as it's not a charity, but a business. A 19 year old should not have that much power. Your boss lacked judgment.

Too bad Hulu requires a cable subscription in my area
You are stunningly misinformed. In fact the percent of Americans who are public employees is the smallest it has been since 1968.
It makes you wonder where people get these ideas and why they feel so free to spout off without knowing anything. We have google, where is the disconnect coming from?
Fox news, Sean Hanity, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, a million Facebook posts about evil socialists taking jobs and voting Tea Party is the way out etc. Fox news is number one rated and tens of millions listen to right wing radio.

Ok we did this once 12 years ago and got DRM legal requirements non voted on. We can do this again.
For American Slashdotters:
1.) Tell the FCC what you think in polite terms and why it is a bad idea for business, consumers, and innovation?
2) Go to to your house of representatives website and use the zip code finder in the upper right hand corner. If your personal representative has a (R) in his or her name mention how you worry about the government overstepping its boundaries and ruining the largest emerging economic trend in history. Mention this FoxNews article, where Republicans are urging the FCC to bud out. If you work in the IT industry mention how you will be impacted and how unregulated internet led to the greatest economic expansion in history in the late 1990s.
If your representative has a (D) in his or her name, tell them how it will unfairly impact consumers and force unfair monopolies more power and ruin innovations with services like Netflix.

That my friend is why I did not bother to purchase one. MS got greedy here.
Now with the Amazon Fire I see no reason to buy such a device unless I want to game occasionally. I prefer PC anyway and I am rather busy these days
