Drugged by a "mystery" man haha that made me laugh.

idrow: What a gun may look like.

Looks like a gub to me.

clovis69: There are a couple of La Cie Ethernet Disks here I'd love to do that too.

Giant steaming piles of unstable garbage.

Good God, those things suck. Got one with a Dell gift card I had, and the damn thing just wouldn't run reliably. Apparently their power supplies were pure crap. I finally pulled the drives out and threw them into a USB enclosure.

RatOmeter: freewill: So, what, nobody's going to post the error photo of Drew with the whiskey passed out on the computer?

I always figured that was Mike

It is :)

It is. You can tell by the pixels and whatnot.

I'd fire a few rounds into this server...

Best response yet...and I second that.

Very Very old school here. Whirlwind - MIT. had sporadic issues. My father was called in and after looking over the installation said that things were too dry for the vacuum tubes. Pie plates with water were placed under most areas and there was not an issue.

Mine? "You might want to put the f'ing power not on the same line that powers your AC unit". And add a ups/filter. Amazing how uptime in NC in the summer improves after that. Grrrrrrr.....

Oh - had a system that went down randomly. Company spent $$$ to get me there ASAP. One look at the situation and going "Take the laserprinter that has a random power draw off of the main line and upgrade the main line" and staying there for three days doing nothing but helping the sysadmins proved the point - moving the laser caused no crashes. Never underestimate human stupidity.

At one job, I made the BIG F'ING MISTAKE on my first day of work suggesting to a person in a meeting that the upgrade he did to QNX probably roached and never re-created the /tmp and /temp dirs (been there, done that). 10 second fix. Guess who owned that f'ing cr*p for the next few years. When we were able to obsolete that thing, I got every engineer who had ever supported it (including some retirees), cut a deal with the disposal company, the union (they positioned it for me), and a local cop (secutity on the ground floor) and we pushed that mother laser engraver out of the sixth floor window into the dump truck so it would never be seen again. The OLD company management would have thrown a party for us. The new management that had just taken over was displeased. They did not appreciate humor. Or retirees coming back into the building.

The problem there is that the help desk people hate the end users just as much as the end users hate the help desk people. You'd just wind up with a modern O.K. corral.

And a good stat would be the number of people who ended up shooting themselves, either accidentally or on purpose.

If you want to weigh the evidence on who's worse, go here (new window).
