Oh no, I just realized that I don't know how to make coffee where I am. Crap. I need to empty the minivan and drive to Cafe Brazil to get some coffee!
If you have the beans, just eat them like peanuts.
If you have grinds, grab a spoon and eat it like ice cream.

I'm busy trying to hack the admin account back into some software that we use... Some doofus [note: I was not the doofus this time...] deleted it... Whoops!

I assume it's not the just the Windows admin, but something software-specific?

Why do companies insist on polls for things that are not opinion pieces, but have an obvious technical answer, that just make everyone involved look like an idiot. Anyone that answered this poll obvious doesn't understand the question, right?

LOL, no, actually they don't. This is definitely a vendor shooting themselves in the foot. How dumb do they think the community is?

I don't believe they actually think about the audiences intelligence at all, they are just looking for a way to creating marketing material, that at a glance would keep someone's attention to the point of finding the vendors name.

Finding the vendor's name to say... "these people are idiots and don't know IT and will say anything to make a sale."

Pretty much, the end game for everyone (NTG included) is to make money to continue on wards. If they insult someone's intelligence doing it, they don't care. So long as they've made a sale off of the marketing campaign.

Just software specific in this case. I'm considering attempting to manually insert a user... software is run on Firebird. O.o

There's still one admin account, lol. I just can't get access to it because I don't know the password and the guy is unavailable.

Of course, but they are taking the odds that most people just don't care to notice it. Or actually don't know the difference. Micron in this case is a RAM manufacturer so if they came out and said "Hey it might only take 4GB to run a virtual environment" they'd be losing even more money up front.
Even if it were 100% accurate.

Right... back to thinking we are idiots.

The thought has definitely crossed my mind. Boss wants me to try to get access to the 'admin' account rather than hijacking the user's admin account if we can... so I gotta try that first.
