Flicking through /r/sysadmin, when suddenly... [url=http://it.emory.edu/windows7-incident/]oh dear[/url].
[quote]Facts as we know them:
[b]A Windows 7 deployment image was accidently sent to all Windows machines, including laptops, desktops, and even servers.[/b] This image started with a repartition / reformat set of tasks.
As soon as the accident was discovered, the SCCM server was powered off – however, by that time, [b]the SCCM server itself had been repartitioned and reformatted.[/b]
Restoration of servers began immediately but the process took far longer than expected – we have been using consultants to help validate the health of the SCCM servers and that work only completed last night.
So, we were without our preferred methods for deploying images to desktops/laptops all yesterday and relied on older methods – USB + Ghost, LANDesk (we still had our old LANDesk server) + PXE. These methods required a lot of manual work plus our success was uneven with them.
Today we are pausing – briefly this morning – to see if we can now use our preferred method – SCCM. This will allow us to have a one-touch method for restoring desktops/laptops to a production ready state.[/quote]

[QUOTE=Goz3rr;44822839]I wonder if you can write a backup program that stores your data in 2048xN images[/QUOTE]
You can store about 12.5mb of data in the rgb values (24 bits per pixel) of a 2048x2048 image (roughly 16mb if you make use of alpha as well). That's 63 images for a CD and about 300 for a single layer DVD.

still sad that youtube hijacks keyboard media controls though
Crossposting from the mechanical keyboard thread.
Which keyboard should I get next (don't have any plans to get one right now, just want to know which to get when I do plan on it): Das Professional 4 or the KBT Poker II?
poker ii. i'd love to have one for lan events/bringing elsewhere to edit without having to use my laptop keyboard for hours on end
tho it wouldn't replace my majestouch 2

tbqh das keyboards look terrible
I was developing a mobile site earlier this week targeting touch devices, smart phones etc. We have tight control over the devices using it.
I thought it would be easy, you know since being modern devices they should work well in standards mode. Nope, once again microsoft throw a spanner in the works, the site renders great on everything but IE on WinPhone. Egh.

Honestly, I was going to get the Poker II to begin with, but I gave up and ordered the Quickfire TK literally 2 days before the ISO UK varients were out.
Why are there no games for local MP using two mice? Most people i know have 2 mice.

AKA,
I'm running out of things to do and my DSL is too busy downloading shit.
Ordered a Mini DP adapter and some HDMI cables. 60 inch 1080p 120hz hooked up to my stereo here I come.
I was gonna hook it up to my weird Vizio tv but it's been acting up lately. :(

I remember that game. I gotta play it again, I recall it being fun but extremely challenging on a trackpad.

I remember I was having a bitch of a time getting my weapon to spin acceptably when I last played.
Also I remember that when I did get it going I had a bitchin' two hit kill combo.
So pros and cons.
Anyone here using some sort of fail over mail system?
I can't use two external ip addresses, my idea of a raspberry pi doesn't work.
Apparently my SDHC card reader on this laptop can read/write 64 GB SDXC cards. I don't know why it works. Maybe Linux. But I guess I'm not complaining.
Just saw Godzilla on a screen somewhere in the middle of a regular movie theatre and an imax screen. Holy balls it was awesome. The dramatic human part of the movie was meh, the gojira part kicked ass. Oh man when he killed the final monster the whole theatre was clapping and cheering lol
I like how people are complaing about the human focus in the movie. I have they not seen a single Godzilla film?
but yeah the fight sceens were great
[sp]pls have mothra in the next movie, they had a decent bit where they referenced her which would make perfect sense if they pick her as the next villian[/sp]
I understand the point, the human part was pretty much what i expected out of a godzilla, little bit of cheese, but they did a pretty good job of not over doing it.
I might go see it again lol
I want to see it again since they did a god job is making a of references to the old movies and I missed a lot of them apparently
I guess im not a big Godzilla fan because i didnt notice any( I had all the movies on vhs as a kid :c )
The biggest one I posted earlier but spoiler tagged it since it might be sequel material and because of where the scene takes place, but it was right in your face when it shows up
[sp]when they go back to the house in the kid's old room the camera is focused on what appears to be a fish tank, but there appears to be vegetation and a (broken?) cocoon inside with a sticker that says "MOTH RA" on it[/sp]
This is a new spam method, I haven't seen this before.
