Seems like every operating system can go full retard.
I'm looking at you Windows, When you are handling PC's with multiple harddisks.
And Some linux distros, because fuck dependency handling.
Can't VPN into your computer at work because of some certificate bullshit? Install Chrome Remote Desktop! :v:

I got a Raspberry PI with OpenVPN at work. Thank fucking god, now I don't have to use the god awful Fortigate VPN* again.

Google creeps me out with their installers
For hangouts it asked "Hey I need a plugin for video", clicked install to do it and a moment later it was done and told me to reopen the window
Firefox never asked if I wanted to install the plugin, didn't ask for admin permission, didn't download a file, it almost just driveby installed a plugin without me knowing

Well how else would that work for video calling?
You're gonna install Skype which probably has more accessing power to your computer.

[QUOTE=garychencool;43984108]I'm trying to get it to work, it can't generate an access code...[/QUOTE]
I don't think it generates one itself, you have to set a custom pin. Then it installs itself on the host machine, like some bad ass parasite, then you have to enter the pin and it authenticates.

I got the pin set up, but in order to access any other computers I have to get an access code which is apperently generated on the computer I want to access and it's not generating the access code. It tells me there's an error and I should report it to the devs (which I'm in the process of).

Wine either needs to get seriously better, or more things need native Linux binaries. (I'd obviously prefer the latter)
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;43983990]The problem with Linux that most programs dont' work on it, take everything made by Adobe for instance. Other than that I'd like to use Centos over Windows.[/QUOTE]
I want to believe that more developers will start making native Linux applications. Either that or the alternatives will get better. I know a lot of applications are much better than when I started using Linux back in 2008, but there is still a lot of polishing that needs to be done.
So we just had the weirdest bug in our system. We've got two tables, let's just call them "users" and "groups" (I'm anonymizing things a bit for my own protection). Anyways, we just did a major overhaul of the grouping feature, and we pushed it out to all our customers, with the last one getting it today at 6AM.
They call us today and they've stopped being able to assign users to groups. So I'm trying to figure out why, when suddenly my coworker (who was trying to manually assign them so the customer can keep working) gets an odd error, basically "Duplicate primary key: 255".
Now, both people and groups use 32-bit integers for their PKs, as do most individual objects. There are some exceptions - static type definition tables use 8-bit ints, and tables that just store a mapping between two tables use a 64-bit PK (we tried composite PKs, but had enough issues that we killed them).
Or at least, they're supposed to work that way. Seems this assignment table had somehow been defined as "tinyint unsigned primary key", or an 8-bit integer. And this was the first client to reach 255 assignments, mostly by repeated assign/unassign.
Oh, and to make it worse, it was defined that way in the first version of the product, almost two years ago. And it was probably even me that did it - my first job on the project, as an intern, was taking a pile of database diagrams and turning them into a SQL script to create the database as designed. It's been unchanged at least since the SVN->Git conversion we did a long time ago.
It's always fascinating how a random bug doesn't crop up until years later when something only vaguely semi-related gets changed. Many a wild goose chase has been had by not looking at code that's supposed to be working correctly.
Trying to watch the olympics live stream at my school, even though speed testing gets me 50 down, the Internet can't load the stream or even YouTube at all. It's sad.
That happened last year at school, they have a database keeping track of all the food, uniform and printing purchases to the student accounts. Somebody had set it up as an express database apparently, so they hit the size limit and everyone trying to buy food at the school started getting "transaction already exists". They had to fall back to writing down orders and manually entering them into a new one later, then manually change the balance for everyone's cards through the shitty management software

Video streams are probably throttled to a degree I imagine.

Express? Like, SQL Server Express?
At least it's not Access.

I think so :v
This is what happens when you force gimmicky shit onto a school and tell a 3 man IT department to implement it
[editline]21st February 2014[/editline]
To clarify, they replaced the canteen/cafeteria whatever you call it with a cashless system, where you add money to your ID card (which was rfid), then pay for food with that
Adding money was done using one of two machines that accepted cash, each in extremely inconvenient places. One of the machines broke on the first day and was replaced with a completely different model (laggy ass resistive touchscreen pc running XP). There was no way to check funds without starting a purchase, so going over was common, and they didn't allow a credit system like most other places

I mean your school probably has some QoS setting or something applied to video streams. Purposely making it slow.
My ISP is sending a guy out in an hour to take a look at why my connection slowly descends into the pits of hell for about 20 minutes then dies for 5 minutes about 5 times a day. Also why Im only getting half the down speed I pay for.
So, I got a baby brother for my Vaio Pro

whoa, people actually bought those small vaios?
I've just finished getting a new main PC together.
I got a present from RHX123 last week containing a motherboard and a CPU that is being lent to me.
[t]http://i.cubeupload.com/DoAZfl.jpg[/t]
I may have overdone the cooling :v:. Even at 4GHZ, the CPU isn't much hotter than room temperature. The part between the fan and rad is a spacer to reduce turbulence.
[t]http://i.cubeupload.com/Mvv7Du.jpg[/t]
To fit the graphics card, i had to "modify" the case a little.
[t]http://i.cubeupload.com/zweUq2.jpg[/t]
Specs:
Intel core i5 3570k OC'd to 4GHZ, it could probably go higher but i don't want to risk breaking a CPU that isn't mine.
Antec Khuler 620
ASUS p8z77-v lx
Sapphire r9 280x TOXIC
8GB DDR3
500GB HDD
Corsair GS600
Thanks Richard, just let me know when you want me to send your parts.
