  1. Undocumented Feature on What is the Worst Tech Mistake You Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    We had 2000+ Node Controllers that reset with CTRL - ALT - J, and put the standby memory online. A firmware upgrade changed the reset trigger to CTRL - ALT - Q. Later, anetwork technician wrote a minor config change to all the upgraded controllers standby memory. That night a NOC technician saw the Q, "corrected" it to J in the reset script and triggered it. CTRL - ALT - J erased the standby memory, reset the Node controllers, put the standby memory online, erased the standby memory, reset the Node Controller, put the standby memory online, on and on and on. Each Node Controller had to be physically powered off to stop the loop and configured.

  2. Water and Candy!! NOT Chocolate on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1

    I kept bottles of water and sugar candy close. Chocolate has caffeine. A friend (dietitian at an addiction clinic) recommends a multi-vitamin daily.

  3. No New Texans! on A Doe, a Deer, a Deer, a Deer... · · Score: 1

    May be a blessing after all! George Bush promised but could not do it! This could be the means!

  4. Matrix NSnub NOT! on Visual Effects Oscar Shortlist · · Score: 1

    Nothing new in the last (pray last!) 2 Matrix movies! Old effects, old characters, old backgrounds, old dialog! No innovation = no recognition! Maybe Battlefield Earth will be nominated for dialog!
