Games taking up over 10GB of space on my hard disk at the moment: Alpha Protocol - 12GB Assetto Corsa - 24GB Borderlands 2 - 11GB Company of Heroes 2 - 25GB DCS World - 19GB DiRT 3 - 12GB Divinity Dragon Commander - 14GB Gas Guzzlers Extreme - 16GB Grid 2 - 11GB King Arthur II (the role playing game) - 17GB Kingdom of Amalur - 12GB Left 4 Dead 2 - 13GB Max Payne 3 - 30GB Portal 2 - 12GB Shadow Warrior - 14GB The Secret World - 44GB XCOM Enemy Unknown - 19GB World of Tanks - 19GB Guild Wars 2 - 22GB Marvel Heroes - 18GB
So sure, only one needs more than 40GB, but 10GB clearly isn't abnormally huge these days. Some of those games are years old!
(Note that this isn't necessarily a representative list of the games I like or play)
At some point very soon, being a serious photographic amateur will mean you have a set of attachment lenses for your phone...
I've randomly picked this post of yours to reply, but frankly I could've gone with almost any. You're a total cock with no credibility, bleating about how you and Apple are so superior and talking utter fucking nonsense.
I'm "a serious photographic amateur". I'm desperately wishing medium format digital cameras were lighter and cheaper, because damn they have fucking magnificent lenses and sensors.
I could put leica glass onto my iPhone but I'd still have the Apple lens in the way too, I'd still have a shitty small sensor and I'd still be limited to Apple's fuckwit software.
No, "serious photographic amateur"s are going to continue to buy "serious photographic cameras".
Yeah, I appreciated the simple clean list of stuff. It's not advertising, it's a straightforward summary of an announcement that people will either be interested in, want to discuss or want to argue about. Sometimes all three.
Folks who would hold the shroud to be proof of Christ's resurrection would likely hold to a literal reading of the 10 commandments too, so worshiping the image on the shroud would be inconsistent with their profession.
That makes sense. They'd be betraying their own lies to themselves.
Oh, you want to have a philosophical argument about the existence of God... Sorry, I'm not sure you have even a basic command of the facts given your wording, and there is a saying about "Not casting your pearls before swine" that comes to mind...
You appear to be a bit short on the pearl front. Meanwhile, I guess I'm a cannibal. Gammon is GOOD.
I suggest you read something other than propaganda before exposing your own ignorance further.
I don't give a flying fuck whether Jesus existed or not. I just wish people would stop brainwashing small children, making immortal threats and using violence to impose their beliefs on others.
Really? I have to argue the points you want to argue about, and not rank stupidity of your position?
Ok: - Virgin birth. For fucks sake that means nothing. It's pathetically easy to impregnate a virgin. Shit, one hand shandy or a bit of suck with no swallow and the means are readily available. Of course, we're assuming that she was actually a virgin at all. - Death. Yeah, people die. Get over it. - Resurrection. Yeah, people historically were quite bad at telling whether someone was dead or not. This is why bells were put onto coffins. Did some bloke die, wake up from his coma and lever the rock away from his tomb, walk outside and go 'fuck me it's bright here?' Probably.
Of course, we're also already ignoring the other stories of the time which contradict the currently recognised bible, we're ignoring the big rewrite that happened a few hundred years later and we're assuming that any of it is fucking true in the first place.
That's a lot of assumption. It's easier and more reliable to assume you're an idiot.
For his situation he needs to absolutely avoid it. Otherwise he ends up doing his old job, not the new one.

Welcome to every IT department on the planet. Get used to it. Learn how to work through it and deliver successful change anyway.
information being incomplete or inaccurate, and the only recourse is to blame other people
Of course the information is incomplete AND inaccurate. You know that's the case, even if you just logged onto the box and checked it yourself.
Deal with it. Certainty takes too long, costs too much and still results in space shuttles exploding. So stop playing blame games and focus on constructive activities, make sensible assumptions, get them validated, give people options and get the fuck on with it.
Perfect information doesn't exist in IT. Perfect architecture isn't going to happen. Balance cost, time, risk, quality and capabilities and get shit done.
It's fun. People will support you. You'll get an amazing amount done.
In the end your new role will involve a crap ton of meetings and moving boxes into other boxes for powerpoints.
Exactly. Enterprise Architects are not technical people. They're people people.
It's all people and politics; technology's the easy bit.
Any architecture role is 30-40% people, 60-70% technical. As you progress through the architecture roles that balance inverts, and a well functioning EA is primarily dealing with people, with politics, with budgets.
It's still problem solving. It's still fun. It just isn't logging on to servers.
erm. I can not log onto 60,000 VMs across 15000 servers, and that's just four of our data centres.
I don't want to. I don't even give a shit how they're configured.
I'm far more interested in whether they're meeting the needs of the business, the customers, the employees. I'm more interested in whether we have the right tools, processes and skills to take the business where senior management want it to go. I'm far more interested in assuring that the limited funds and resources are optimally invested to best deliver outcomes.
I can ask any fuckwit to log onto a server, stop wasting my time.

Look, I love my cats, but for $2bn they're yours.
I'll take the risk on living with that sort of fortune.
For a moment I lived in hope of actual hedgehogs in space.
That would be awesomely fantastic. A confused little snout wriggling in free-fall.
More accurately, the person to whom I was replying doesn't care about functional websites. I merely informed him how to achieve his goals.
Possibly because people can still buy a fucking radio.
What, 'about:config' and set 'javascript.enabled' to 'false' is too difficult?
Telnet and logging in as 'root' with a default password isn't exactly a backdoor is it.
It may be an undocumented default password but just fucking change it. Shit, disable telnet too while you're logged on.
Assaulted in the office with a stun-gun, with witnesses? Lawyers would be queuing up to work on a no-win-no-fee basis.
Curious. You seem to be racist and sexist.
You're bitching about white males, despite them being only a small proportion of the workforce in the US.
Shit, even in our Texas office they're not the majority. I guess that reflects the ethnic make-up of the local population though.
Guess who doesn't fit at work? Racist bigoted cunts like you.
Halloween costumes, according to Google. Maybe I should've searched for something other than 'black-out contacts'.
Shit, that aint a monstrosity. Try this: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/...
Bumped into it by accident one day, driving through. It's pretty simple to navigate, just follow the way around.
Yes. It's because I live in a residential area, where there are children.
It's ok though because we do this innovative thing: We drive over the fucking circle.
Mini-roundabouts: Like roundabouts but you can drive over them.

How about that?

As long as they are not worshiping the image, it doesn't matter.
How is worshipping the image any more nonsensical than worshipping the zombie jesus it allegedly depicts?
It's nice to see justice working both ways, almost gives you faith in the process.
At which point the IT folks would get a very short, sharp, brutal and extremely educational experience.
Well, for his situation, I think he needs it.
For his situation he needs to absolutely avoid it. Otherwise he ends up doing his old job, not the new one.

Off topic, but thank you for stating 'LMGTFY' and not obnoxiously linking to the site with the same name.
Same point, much friendlier :)
