Science fiction is a reflection of society when it comes out. Back in the 1980's when the Blade Runner movie came out, payphones were still common. I read one science fiction novel written in the 1980's where a computer document was searchable via a MS-DOS filenames (eight-character name, dot, three-character extension) on a different planet in 500+ years into the future.
So where's the book on Job's pivot from to listening to his doctors when he had an operable, treatable form of cancer to wasting time on alternative medicines that did nothing to help him?
"The Third Coming of Steve Jobs" haven't been written yet.
All those posted links to dick pics with my contact info on Russian image websites probably got Slashdot banned in India. I'm surprised that the Russians haven't banned Slashdot yet. No one wants to look at naked Russian schoolboys with my contact info.
Dude, the local 3rd grade bully called, he wants his insults back. I guess this means I'm hitting a nerve - you getting frustrated like this is cute!
No, I struck a nerve instead by exposing the flaw in your argument. Otherwise, you wouldn't have defended yourself the way you did. Does your wife know that you call her a ball licker in public?
I'm making reference to your own comment in 2014, which said it takes a "minimum of 4 hours" to reimage a system, which directly contradicts your assertion that you can reimage a system "on the user's lunch break."
Let's say that 2014 comment was about reimaging and not data transfer. Shouldn't you be calling me out on taking a minimum of four hours to reimage a system?
If you're familiar with reimaging systems (which I seriously doubt), it only takes 20 minutes to reimage a system if the user data is already stored on the network. Stick in a USB stick, reboot the system, and reimage over the network.
And for the record - I don't lick my balls, I have a wife who does it for me.
Your bitch licks your balls. Most people don't brag about practicing bestiality. Is there a reason why you married a dog and not a goat?
If you want to read about someone pivoting from failure to failure, read "Steve Jobs & The NeXT Big Thing" by Randall Stross. I hated reading the first half of this book because of the author's axe grinding against Steve Jobs, as the narrative in other books are always sympathetic to Steve Jobs. The other half of the book is where Steve Jobs pivots from all the mistakes that would end up reducing NeXT from a computer company to a software company. This book stops several years before Apple buys out NeXT and Pixar became successful. For that story, and my favorite Steve Jobs book, you need to read "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs" by Alan Deutschman.
This is just more revisionist history from you. A comment you wrote in 2014 is suddenly only applicable to a project you worked on 3 years earlier. And now, 3 years after you wrote the comment, it's suddenly applicable to some non-specific thing that happened in 1997 - what that is, we may never know.
You're the one making reference to a comment in 2014. I can see why you're confused. Without reading glasses, you're easily confused.
I can't imagine how you stay employed with these constant demonstrations of your lack of integrity and honesty.
My employers don't care about what my Slashdot trolls think. Now go off and lick your balls somewhere else.
You wrote the linked comment in 2014, not in 1997. And I've seen you make other comments here that largely affirm the same thing: that it takes several hours to reimage & restore a desktop.
That was the PC refresh project at eBay in 2011-12. User data wasn't stored on the network and had to be copied from the old system to the new system, which took a minimum of four hours to complete. The actual imaging of the new system took 20 minute.
We are telling you that you are exceeding the weight limits for that chair, and until it collapses and shoves an air cylinder up your fat ass, of course you won't see a "problem".
If you have reading glasses, you would have noticed my statement that I've never broken a chair.
And the person who was sitting there unable to work because they had no keyboard - how much money did you waste by leaving him without a keyboard while you "asked for second opinions"?
IIRC, It was the keyboard for my own system. That would explain why my supervisor had to out to a buy a replacement and spare keyboards.
Don't blame me because you can't defend your original point and decided to move the goalposts.
You're moving the goalposts by not paying attention.
These days you can reimage a PC at the user's desk while they're out for lunch.
[...] Because just a couple months ago, you assured us that reimaging a system takes a *minimum* of 4 hours - which means you're tied up for some portion of that, and the user is without a computer for a minimum of 4 hours.
Another example of why you need reading glasses. I wrote "these days" as in 2017, not in 1997.

I have that chair for my home office. Never had a problem with it. Enterprise-level office chairs tend to cost twice as much, if not more. I've never broken a chair, if that was you were implying.
If it costs $15 to replace the keyboard, and it costs the company $30 of a tech's time to "troubleshoot" / "fix" the problem, then the proper response is to immediately swap out the keyboard, and only spend further time on "troubleshooting" if/when a new & known-good keyboard fails to work properly.
It was a $60 keyboard and I was the $16/hr tech who was looking at it.
Now he was being an asshole?
Destroying company property.
No, a practical lesson. When you have a PC with a intermittent failure, you can wait for it to fail or break it to request reimaging.
Wait, you reimage your PC every time you have a keyboard issue?
You need reading glasses. I wrote "PC," not "keyboard," with an intermittent failure. Those tend to be software-related. These days you can reimage a PC at the user's desk while they're out for lunch..
As a rule of thumb, I don't bother to memorize stuff. Specialized knowledge should always be documented. If not documented, I write the documentation and stick it into a knowledge base.
I'm planning to buy my leased iPhone 6s and reduce my monthly bill from $80 to $50. As a phone and a video camera, the iPhone 6s isn't obsolete. As a Sprint customer for 20+ years, Sprint will always offer me a new iPhone if I decide to stop using the 6s as a phone in the next several years.
Please consider using SSD drives in your NAS. Results are optimal.
As soon as a 1TB SSD becomes available for $50 each. I just replaced all my NAS hard drives last year. I'm hoping to replace those in five years with SSDs.
I stopped buying Seagate drives years ago. They still suck?
They did several years ago. Since then I replaced my Seagate drives with SSDs in the gaming PC and laptop, and Western Digital 1TB Red NAS drives in the file server. Although I did get a newer Seagate 3TB hard drive to serve as a backup drive for the file server. No problems with that drive yet.

If you're a true California boy, an opportunity to freeze your ass off in the winter. Supposedly the Boston clam chowder tastes better in Boston.
The story behind Facebook can be found in "The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal" by Ben Mezrich, which "The Social Network" movie was based on. "The Boy Kings: A Journey into the Heart of the Social Network" by Katherine Losse takes place after the movie and from a woman's perspective that I'm currently reading. The most recent Facebook-related book is "Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley" by Antonio Garcia Martinez, who sold his startup and engineers to Twitter while getting a job at Facebook in a three-way deal, and developed the ad system at Facebook that tracks both logged in and anonymous users with third-party demographic data.
And it's not even Friday yet.
Creimer was more offended that there were HOMMASECSHULS associated with his name, because he's super intolerant.
That a troll thought it was acceptable to traffic in child pornography offended me.
And besides that, he's probably worried that if anybody thinks he's had sex with a man OR a woman, he'll lose his street cred as a real baller.
Seriously?

As a rule of thumb, I don't bother to memorize stuff. Specialized knowledge should always be documented. If not documented, I write the documentation and stick it into a knowledge base.
Then go get another one from those storage closets that take two weeks to clean up.
At a video game company? No. My supervisor had to buy a replacement and a few spare keyboards on his lunch break.
Speaking of which, what's the office chair budget like for your group?
No clue. Why?
Yeah, how DO you manage that?
I do my job.
