    That's because you are higher risk of fraud than a brick and mortar store that's been open for years. I'm sure there's hold back for regular stores, but probably closer to 60 days. They need a better security deposit to reduce the 180 days.

    Why the fuck do you need a warrant to find someone? When you want to search someone's property or arrest them, yeah. To fucking find someone? Fucking dumb people.

    Buy on sales. Bought several from newegg.ca when they go on for less than an Ironwolf.

    He's right, though, sugar tits.

  8. What happened to the decade after 10 base T cable? How shitty was your mac? Fuck, I guess you needed to be forced new technology if you held on 10 years too long. How the fuck was this modded funny?

    To be fair, the corner stool with a towel on it could have won those first three rounds. They were giveaways, not earned.

    $99.99 is less than $100, not more. Why fucking lie in your first sentence and lose any credibility? Now everything you say may be exaggerated and not worth reading.

    No, they'll be white sneakers starting at $599. "Teleporting you wherever you need to go".

  14. Don't watch the videos where the chick isn't wearing makeup. I have no idea why they produce those, they're fucking horrible.

  15. I'm sure there was a lot of 'junk' in the porn collection, too.

  19. Re: (Carbonite) that does not support Linux on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Cloud Backup Solutions That You Recommend? · · Score: 1

    I have my issues with Acronis, but I do applaud them for treating WHS as a workstation OS instead of server which costs a shit load more. I don't use their cloud backup, but prickly doesn't look insane considering you're getting a decent backup program as well.

  20. I would have just stopped at saying the drives are replaced 7 days a week. Hearing that you may have to page everyone up to and including the CEO, not something that leaves you feeling confident. Or maybe add, "but we've never had to do that".

  21. Re: In Windows, here's direct control of it... apk on Intel Launches 8th Generation Core CPUs (anandtech.com) · · Score: 1

    That isn't increasing core count, you fucking moron. It's just a tunable setting for how aggressive to set something. Set it too high or too low is worse than it auto tuning. Also, that's recommendations for running a specific business app on a server OS. I must have missed where the topic is xeons and not desktop CPUs.

  22. Shitty support on Code42 Says Crashplan Backup Service Will Discontinue All Personal Backup Plans (crashplan.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    I wouldn't recommend Crash plan for business unless there's an IT person on site. Too many interruptions that a regular office person isn't going to notice. I get emailed updates when the computers don't backup after so many days and need to investigate. Most times, the service needs to be manually restarted and works again for a while. Other times, you need the secret menu to run advanced commands that restart things differently. When I needed to call someone, the hold time was 52 minutes and then was offered a call back. No callback. Another time, I got a callback, but only for someone to take the issue down and someone else was supposed to call me. They never did. On more than one occasion, the server picked for backup shits the bed. I have to contact Crash plan to tell them their server is fucked. After some time, they report it's confirmed and under going maintenance. Wait another day and still not fixed. Contact them again, and says maintenance didn't go well and then did something to use another server. By the end of it, it hadn't backed up in 9 days and took 4 days to resolve after reporting issue. I don't think their stuff is robust and unless you constantly verify, you could be in a situation where you find your backed up data very old.

    I don't see how this would cut down those people, they'll just tick the box and supply answers like the rest. Also, experience might be from multiple companies to reach the total experience in years.
