Heh - is "nuking the systems from orbit" common IT usage?
IME, yes. And even more common practice.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
All hail crappy web programming. I just tried filling out my application for unemployment online. They warn you not to use the "backspace" button (I think they actually meant the "back" button in the browser toolbar. I didn't. However, I did use the Window menu in Firefox to select the window to make it active again after having browsed at something else. The page lost every bit of info I had entered into it. GRRRRRR.

All is well that ends in pizza.
In Windows XP, when I'm connecting to another machine in a workgroup, what can I do to change the name with which I use to connect to the other machine?
ETA: For instance, when trying to connect to another machine on my company's internet, I'm required to log into the site with the username workgroup(backslash)danielj, but the ability to change is greyed out, and the name is workgroup(backslash)guest, and I can't recall how to change the default name.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The weird thing is that Apple's shares are up 7% on the news.
I don't get it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
That makes me think-- is there such a think as "virtual mac", allowing me to run mac only programs on a PC? I really like ical!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Daniel, I think you need to go to 'My Computer,' but I just discovered that it's not working (it just locks up) on my work XP computer. Weird....

The shares being up doesn't surprise me. My first thought is that that move by Apple will make it easier to move into the enterprise market. They were already making gains there with OS X, but now that businesses know they can still run Windows natively when they want, I think things are really going to open up. The only reason I bought a PC was because voice recognition has the lead there and you can't use Virtual PC to run Dragon Naturally Speaking.

Hey. New board.
I can tell you right now, I won't be testing that on my Macbook.
I'm torn as to whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. Yes, people might be more willing to switch if Macs can run Windows, but if that means we get a spate of people running exclusively Windows on the machines... that's bad. So I guess we'll see.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why?
