I need to find a satellite the launch team stood up in 2009. Can you please send me the commands to find the satellite and restore communication with it. This mission is most needful!
>> password rotation does nothing but piss people off and make them chose poor passwords
Not true. Password rotation generally ensures that the passwords that clever-but-unwise people put into scripts cannot simply be picked off filesystems and used to access systems. And while many people tack on an extra date-or-number to an unchanging root password (your "poor passwords") to work around the rotation, people tend not to document their little pattern, but remember both the root password and their private scheme.
>> What you used to get over the air, you can still get over the air, for free.
Not true. Some of the content you can no longer get over the air includes sporting events and recent movies. Those items have largely moved to cable TV.

>> building a social network to compete directly with Facebook -- this was a time when companies might be inclined to do that, remember Google Buzz launching in 2010?
Don't you mean "Google+", which launched in 2011? If you're looking for a higher profile social network flop from Google...
VS (Community - haven't needed anything more in years) is still my first choice if I have control over my Windows environment, but I've also started using "SharpDevelop" on machines where I want a portable ASP.NET or C# development environment (since you can run it without installing anything)
From what I understand of the current asylum interview process, the key question is "is your life in danger" followed by variations on "prove it." (Sometimes the proof is as simple as pointing to death threats on Facebook.) Does anyone know if coaching this process is what this bot is doing?
That's kind of what I thought. Once they spun off Agilent (with the old-school HP tech) in 2002, I thought that was the real "split" - everything since then has been commodity PCs and services you could get from dozens of other similar vendors.
>> With a new console out, Wii Us are likely to come onto the used market
Not sure how many will. For me, the Wii U will probably be my last Nintendo console, but I'm going to hang onto it, especially since it's the only way I can still play my dozen-or-so Wii games. I'll buy the new Zelda game and play it on my Wii U, but its availability on the Wii U becomes just yet another reason why I never need to look at getting a Switch.
>> making lifer harder forever for everyone just because might stop a dumb employee doing something dumb
Did you know that this is the heart of any "quality" initiative since World War II? Make things idiot-proof, and your employees will save their mental energy for harder things and make less mistakes overall.
Serious question: how did they share "links to books"? Was it near-useless stuff like "hey dumb***, read this" or were they actually able to point to specific passages, freely available to all, that were applicable to the discussion?
1) Use a wireless connection 2) Lie to the OS and tell it it's a "metered" connection 3) Tell the update manager to not download uploads over metered connections
I remember I put this into place when I just wanted to hop on my Windows 10 gaming desktop and play some FPS before bed. If Windows updates were active, they'd stupidly try to download at the same time, which would also excite the AV components, and cause lag enough to get me killed over and over again.

Your greatest help is mostly appreciated!!!

Also, a big clock that starts a 3-minute count down as soon as it recognizes a new voice would be great.
Or a "mumble meter" that would tell the mopes camping the local meeting in the background to speak the fuck up.

Hello BetaNews and Forbes marketing staffers!

>> 83 percent ... and 83 percent ...Also 75 percent...
I'm guessing there were 12 "executives" surveyed, counting the marketing assistant twice and the guy who wrote the press release three times.

crappy summary for the slashdot crowd. we know what visual studio is - what we want to know is what, if anything, changed
My family skipped right over DVRs into straight piracy, and then finally a little Netflix (which allowed us to finally dump cable).
Six posts in and still no "netcraft confirms" joke?

>> wrong command
Sure, blame the intern actually typing the command.
More seriously, perhaps it's time that utility Clippy-ed up. As in "I see you're about to kill thousands of servers. Type YES to proceed."
