Just found a C level's laptop cord was frayed to bare wires... on the 120v cord!

Do I hear a mimimi? But just had the same thing with a user laptop... on the DC power side of the power supply

The client constantly ignores the "Standard Tab" setting and starts with this screen:

I wonder what their QA team is doing all day long. Playing on Steam maybe?

Will deploy a new AD forest, solely for my home lab. Samba or Windows?

Depends on your goals.

Well, just want to manage my machines at home (central auth and a few GPOs/GPPs). Going Samba could come with another benefit: I would be able to evaluate whether Samba is a viable replacement for a Windows DC.

DCs would run as virtual machines on Hyper-V.

Still hunting for a new case... came across this one: http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/define-series/define-nano-s

It's ITX, but I really don't plan to add any other PCIe hardware or more RAM.

I knew a guy who had one of these, he was easily the coolest guy in the whole IT class lol

Well, you could do that with nearly every piece of hardware (*). But Raspberry does one great thing: People get creative.

(*) just as an example, you could write a I2C driver for some external IC using your PC's serial / parallel port. Ok, nowadays one would need a USB-2-RS232 / USB-2-LPT, but you'll get the idea

Need to post this on the wall ....

When you order parts to build a project - Order two. That why when you ( @MattSpeller it) smoke the first one, you have one to do it right with....

At least 3 of you know exactly what that smells like.

I love the smell of solder-flux in the morning? Wasn't that a movie?

Anyone have a link to that song "Only the good die young". @thwr, I think the same thing, but that stuff isn't good for you.

this one?

says who?

Lifespans.

I knew someone who died at the age of 40 years. He was very sporty (is that actually a word or is the dictionary kidding me?), used his racing bike to get to work (40km per direction) every day and so on. My great-grandfather on the other hand still smoked cigars and pipe at the age of 90.

So much for "estimated lifespans"

Wouldn't that backup my song choice tho? "Only the good die young"

Wouldn't that mean my great-grandfather wasn't a good guy?

That's what he is implying, yes.

Now that's a dilemma

Then I should live to damn near 100. Plus however many years I get for being evil....

Probably, but...

That bottle... My old Kaleu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapitänleutnant) made me some "medicine" when I caught a cold during my time in the Navy. 50% Scotch, 50% lemon juice. Instant knockout but lots of vitamins
