If you get only twenty seconds of network coverage a day, SMS is far superior to actually making a phonecall. One can only assume that a majority of the cell towers in the area were disabled or destroyed.
He didn't make these mistakes on a production server either. The first was on his main workstation (not a server) and the second was on his laptop (also not a server).
Really, if you wanna flame him, you'd be safer pointing out that this is just some guy dicking around on his home machine and managing to not scrag his mp3 collection thanks to the wonder of Knoppix.
Unfortunately, the name is frequently frowned upon by PHB's. "Does the name of that program use... PROFANITY?"
I've used Knoppix to recover data from a WinXP box with locked-down security--my fiancee's OS bit it when she installed XP SP2 and the files were restricted to her account, so I put a spare HD in her machine and copied over all of her data using Knoppix (which conveniently ignores Windows security settings). Then we did a full reinstall from scratch--no data loss at all.
Maybe you see bigger freight trains than I do, but the Saturn rockets are HUGE. I've lived in Florida all my life, and I've been to Kennedy several times, and lying on their side, they're still freakishly tall. You look at the boosters from the Shuttle and then the boosters from the Saturn, and it's just amazing how huge these things are.
It makes you wonder whatever happened to solving aerospace problems with brute force.:)

Every so often I get an email out of the blue from someone I haven't talked to in months.
Sometimes it's an emergency. (Yes, email is that important to some people. I have mine set to forward to my cellphone for certain senders who pay me money for tech support.)
...if you don't mind missing potentially important emails. It's a bit overdrastic and if you're supporting multiple users, it's going to be a totally unacceptable solution.
Really? ALL of its goodwill? The best, sleekest search engine on the web removed a couple of features that were straining their resources and THAT'S what killed your tolerance?
Lighten up, seriously. Google's still a good company, they just have to pay the bills.
Americans need REAL leaders, who aren't just in it to get greased by lobbyists or cronies.
You have a few of those. John McCain. Joe Liebermann. Arlen Specter. Zell Miller.
What happens to them? They're marginalized by their parties--unless they manage to swing party support or they manage to be bipartisan they're dead in the water. Doing the right thing is very hard to pull off.
Eventually their career ends and they're glossed over.
All you can do is try to tip the pendulum back towards individual rights by getting involved in PACs and bribing the assholes yourself. That's about it.

See my comment above: this was done on his personal workstation and his laptop respectively--not a production server.

Oh, come on, like you've never fouled anything up the first time you tried to play with it.
Let me guess--you're running on a 4GHz processor and using Longhorn as your OS?

Supposedly it's based on Esperanto, which is similar to Portuguese.
Disturbing--yes. Surprising--no. They're zealots, but not necessarily idiots.
It was if you imagine it with a British accent.
Douglas Adams went on record saying that that was a pure coincidence. "I may be a pretty sad person, but I don't make jokes in base 13."
Sorry to burst the bubble.
Isn't it really hard to get signal when you're flying? I'd imagine this would only be relevant near takeoff and landing.
I hope not. This is just like the technology designed to animate Richard Linklater's Waking Lives, except that it goes over CGI instead of film. Yawn.
My grandmother emails me once every few months.

These puns are making my brain scrambled.
Seriously, stop betraying your fellow posters with all the puns about eggs, Benedict Arnold.

I work in a University environment. Our last IT director got fired because he refused to allow the faculty local administrator access.
Chew on that. The IT department is NOT the top dog, especially in an academic environment.
I blame communication technology. It's hard to manage tight control without effective communication.

Why does he do this?
Because he has the biggest soapbox and no one's loud enough to shout him down.
Ever seen a streetcorner preacher before?
They used the phrase "in Soviet Russia" in the writeup.
That means you don't need to mention it here in the comments section.
This is like the opposite of a poll tax, which was declared unconstitutional (IIRC).

I am, however, looking forward to Joe Schmoe yelling, "I WON THE ELECTION!" when he hits the payoff.
Except he's bald, so instead of Pointy Haired Boss, he's a Pretty Hairless Boss.
