I'm bored. Anybody have any interesting sites to visit? (will this workday never end?) __________________ http://www.rotten.comI did have a long list, but my computer got imaged over the weekend for no FUCCING reason. __________________ Quote:
That stuff drives me up the freakin' wall. Is there some reason why companies think it's a good idea to totally wipe your personal ****e in the interests of making some IT schmo's life easier? __________________ Hey Milk, did you bring your own computer into work?If not, the company is well within its rights to reimage its machine. In truth, though, reimaging is usually the sign of a lazy tech. What about sites? __________________ Quote:
I know they can do it, Im just making a comment(AS YOU CAN SEE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE, BUT ALWAYS SEEM TO GET SINGLED OUT). And it has nothing to do with lazy techs they do everybodies computer atleast once a month. [Edited by gotmilk on 12-05-2000 at 10:39 AM] __________________ how do they perform the reimage? I guarantee you can foil it. Do they use SMS? Do they use an older method that just checks the dates of files (if so, change the date attribute on your bookmarks file to something older)?__________________ Check out http://www.x-entertainment.com It's a great site that goes over some of the stupid toys and movies of the 80's and early 90's.Blu __________________ they perform it with an image disk and the only way I know around it is to save whatever I do. I also have created a no access folder within the properties and hopeful it will work.__________________ But is it in NT? If so, just lock down the machine, set a BIOS password and set it to boot from the C; drive first. Let the bastards try and image that...__________________ Quote:
Sorry BLu but im not some kind of Gen-X sheep. The stuff from my childhood is .. well... childish. Thatnks for trying, though, and we have some lovely parting gifts for you! __________________ Quote:
Yes NT Got a memo not to do that, I had that setup before and they told me to take it off. IM SCREWED. __________________ Partition the disk, dual boot the machine, and modify the boot.ini before you leave for the weekend .... they'll never notice!__________________ Ill try that.Have you checked out the site I posted? Why come no one is posting any others. __________________ Quote:
Did you even look at the site? It's not some fanboy site. It's actually funny. And last time I checked, I wasn't a "sheep" either... Blu __________________ Quote:
Holy ****. That's all I have to say. I'm just wondering, and I'm being serious here, 'milk, do you speak like this too? And forget about it, Blu. I thought it was a pretty assholic response too. Just don't bother anymore... __________________ j/k blu... I did go to the site and youre right, it is pretty cool...I should be able to while away some time here...tell Matt Caracappa he has a nice site! i've been to http://www.rotten.com in the past (i've been to a lot of freakin' sites, getting paid to surf at work for 40hrs/week will put you on a lot of sites) __________________ Quote:
Anything wrong with that? __________________ http://vagina.rotten.com/thanksgiving/thanksgiving.jpg"rear admiral's lower half __________________ mmm...burnt turkey?__________________ I take it you like the site, aside all the disgusting sh!t.__________________ because of all the disgusting ****  __________________ Quote:
How can you criticize someone's grammar and then use a word such as assholic? __________________  __________________ Quote:
Yeah, as an ex-IT guy I'll tell you. Because that computer is not yours, its the company's. Frankly, it should be YOUR responsibilty to make sure it is in working order at all times, since it is a TOOL ENTRUSTED TO YOU to do your work, not use as if it were YOUR PERSONAL TOY. This would be the theoretical utopia. Unfortunately, most users don't have enough of a clue to keep their machines working, and when it goes down, who gets the finger pointed at them? Right, IT man. And if every user is putting their own stuff on the machine, the IT guy has to deal with X configurations, where X is the number of computers supported. With no documentation or support available for new, third-party programs that some nimrod decided would make their screen look cool or let them talk to their friends in another office, its just impossible for the IT guy to keep everything up and running adequately. Consistent configurations are about the only hope an IT guy's got when it comes to end-user support. There's two reasonable solutions to this: 1. IT man refuses to fix systems where the user has been futzing around in places where he doesn't need to be futzing to get his job done. If you break it on personal ****, its your job to fix it. This would be fair and equitable, but of courese will never happen, so long as managers and officers are allowed to have computers. 2. IT guy locks down the configurations, either through technical features or office policy. This is what usually happens. If the IT guy was going to wipe your machine, he should have let you know via email or voice, so you could at least save any work data you had, unless there is a policy notifying you that your machine could be wiped whenever and you should prepare accordingly. If he didn't, he ****ed up and you have every right to bitch. If you were warned or if you knew this possibility was out there, I'm afraid I've got little sympathy. Damn, I'm glad to be out of IT... __________________ No, I understand the rationale. God knows I've hopped on a collegue's comp to find god-knows how many ridiculous applications loaded. Hello, Christmas light screen border?At the same time, though, like you said, it would be nice if Mr. IT would tell the person who's comp he's imaging. I was at a client's, and had amassed a very lengthy and complicated set of links, and one morning, goombye. Whatever, it cost them a couple of grand for me to stay on and find all the stuff again. They didn't seem to mind.  I guess we agree, zen. I'd wager these e-mail viruses were created with the express intent of illustrating how stupid some people in the office are. I swear, there's a round of the "joke" virus every two weeks. It's like these people just started using computers yesterday or something. Just this morning, I had 17 e-mails with the subject "joke". ****ing incredible, I tell you... __________________ y'all can kiss my left testicle. You ask for something to look at, and then turn around and fire off some flippant response. Hey, if you're truly that bored, don't bitch when someone tries to help you out.And as for you, 'milk: we're all very impressed with your ability to post "clever" pictures. I was simply wondering if you had adopted an alternative pattern of speech, or were genuinely illiterate. Keep it up.  __________________ PP,I said i was kidding.... Oh King of Flippant Reponses __________________ Calm down PP, sorry everyone isnt as intelligent as you.. . . Sike, I wouldnt even try to be. Maybe before I post anything I should email or icq you to see if it meets your standards pertaining to grammar and the like. ZENBOOTY, I have nothing inappropriate on my computer, just a whole bunch of favorites and test help programs, I dont use screen savers nor do I have a background. I'm just saying it would have been nice to know when a reimage will take place so I can save the little stuff I do have on my computer. __________________ Quote:
actually, that will just get you in more trouble... Lets say they are using Norton Ghost to do the images / re-imaging. (I picked Ghost because thats what I use). Lets say you edit the boot.ini file, and windows doesn't display the other OS menu on boot. When the Tech runs Ghost, he will be given a choice of which partition he wants to install the ghost on. The only possible way to get around that would be an invisible partition, but then you would need a Boot manager installed in the MBR (baster boot record). You may be able to trick the Tech by booting to true Dos and punching in fdisk -mbr. This will clear out the MBR for the time being. The you would have to reinstall the boot manager software. you could probably use the old OS/2 boot manager, or LILO. __________________ cant boot to DOS, F8 isnt an option.
