Everyone had a good laugh when a Microsoft Zune showed up in the "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2" movie. Not sure if the color was the infamous Zune Brown.
As an IT Support contractor for 20+ years, Microsoft still provides job security. My job is updating to the latest version of Exchange, and, subsequently, Office 365. The learning curve and hiccups are painful for everyone all around.
I had to duck a virtual chair this afternoon when one of my ex-military coworker discovered that someone scheduled an immediate reboot on his system. Made for some fun email reading.
Pray tell - what fucking sort of "minimum wage" jobs are you applying for that they asked for, or reviewed, a CV?
Restaurant, retail and warehouse. I did these jobs before I started my technical career. Keep in mind that there were seven applicants for every job opening in 2009-10.
Starting a business" isn't necessarily a disqualifying circumstance. As long as he:
1) "Looks for work";
2) "Doesn't work full time for his own company, even if it's unpaid";
3) "Declares any income he may receive from such work,";
1) Nope 2) Nope 3) Nope
There's no particular issue with collecting unemployment while you work on starting your own business.
We had an uncle who ran his own landscaping business while his family collected welfare. Cash under the table. Never filed taxes in 30+ years. Lived as well as my father who worked 50 years for three generations of owners.
And you could not fake your CV accordingly to the problem?
That would be unethical. If I have done that, it might have compromised my chances of getting a security clearance for my current job.
You could not show yourself on paper as a less qualified person?
I'm not my brother. He was out of work for two years as well. He committed perjury every two weeks by claiming he was looking for work. He was using his unemployment benefits to start a landscaping design business.
No need to spend time on it, there will not be a test later:-)
When was the last time a website got slashdotted in the last 10 years? My websites could handle being slashdotted — and my webhost provider will send me a bill for the bandwidth.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm starting to suspect that you're a highly advanced chatbot.
That's on my to do list as a programming project.
[...] a known database of stock responses ("bankrupt", "govt. contractor", etc) [...]
One of the reason my comment history scraper script saves to a CSV file is that I can load it up in Excel and search by keywords. All my comments have a keyword or two.
[...] I'm willing to bet you're not self-aware enough to realise that you're stuck in a conversation loop, endless repeating yourself with no awareness of the fact that your audience has already heard you give the same speech multiple times.
Go listen to Guy Kawaski on YouTube. His core speech is why a dog food delivery app doesn't work. The beginnings and endings are slightly different, but it's always the same speech that he gives 50 times each year.
I'm curious to see if you can meet that hurdle; are you self-aware enough to not repeat your employment history in part or in full for the next 6 months?
The smart option is to RTFA and understand that a sensitive system was not connected to the internet.
This is Slashdot. You must be new around here.
It was a backup drive which I'm sure you have connected to the internet for posting on Slashdot or at least pulled out of your ass like your posts on slashdot.
During the WinXP era, I had six motherboards. During the Vista to Win10 era, two motherboards (the second being a replacement for the first after nine years).
I get a lot of crap for posting on Slashdot during business hours (4:30AM - 10:30PM), but I wouldn't be stupid enough to connect a military code-breaking computer to the Internet for posting on Slashdot.

This is Harvard. Another Mark Zuckerburg might be lurking in the dorms.
So I'm not sure businesses are hating Office 365.

what can possibly be dumber than the Winblows 10 FC.U.
Windows 10 Double Secret Probation
You would think that the 23rd century would have better shoes in space. You can't kick Klingon ass with slip-ons.
Also, we think you are APK normally, and Creamer when you.
It would be tedious to argue with myself all the time.

By the way, I ctrl-clicked your link till the browser crashed just to see if it would crash.
You crashed your own browser. Sad.
I love it how you completely ignore that you making money from slashdot clicks is completely false.
I'm laughing all the way to the bank.
actually, maybe I'll write a script that does a continuous wget on the jpeg of your photo.
Go ahead. I'm actually paying for unlimited bandwidth.
[...] slashdot makes you money.
Slashdot makes me extra money for something I'm already doing. As Warren Buffett said, "When it's raining gold, reach for a bucket, not a thimble."
INCOMING!!!!
I had to duck a virtual chair this afternoon when one of my ex-military coworker discovered that someone scheduled an immediate reboot on his system. Made for some fun email reading.
So you spend forty hours a week writing these shit posts?
Nope. Slashdot keeps me amused while I'm waiting for scripts to get done.
For the "$50/month" in ads you claim to get?
That's free money for something I'm already doing.

4:30-10:30 are business hours for you?
I have my regular job and my side business.
Christ, I thought your life of being middle-aged and living in a shitty studio apartment by yourself was sad enough already...
One of these days I need to find commercial space for my home office.
By your logic, all bags of cement are now connected to the internet.
Only in Soviet Russia.
"(n) mil-teree- the armed forces of a country." But that's not important right now.
Actually, it is. I work with ex-military all the time. They're sensitive in one way or another.
And you could not fake your CV accordingly to the problem?
That would be unethical. If I have done that, it might have compromised my chances of getting a security clearance for my current job.

Uh, no. I'm having too much fun. :P
Doesn't say one word about a 'sensitive system' being connected to the internet.
What does "military" mean then?
The smart option is to RTFA and understand that a sensitive system was not connected to the internet.
This is Slashdot. You must be new around here.
It was a backup drive which I'm sure you have connected to the internet for posting on Slashdot or at least pulled out of your ass like your posts on slashdot.
This sentence makes no sense whatsoever.
You reinstalled everything - I'm asking, did you use some sort of automation tool to lay down a preconfigured base image?
I use Acronis True Image to image the system, backing up to a FreeNAS file server.
but I wouldn't be smart enough to know how to connect a military code-breaking computer to the Internet for posting on Slashdot.
FTFY.
The smart option is not to connect a sensitive system to the Internet.
Come on Creimer, nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
I would like to keep my home office intact.
That fast, and all by hand?
