If you have a fan, and want this company to stay in business, bring it to IT now

Building electrics were getting checked over the weekend, I wanted to come in and confirm everything was okay, except new supervisor wanting to show his in charge position said very specifically I was in NO CIRCUMSTANCES to do so, as they were not working on the server room

Yeap they weren't, just they killed the power to the five a/c units and only one restarted

So the first notice we got was when a network link went down.

We I opened the door the wave of heat hit me and I just grabbed every floor standing fan and opened windows to move the heat out before restarting the a/c units.

We lost a couple of HDs that were in the top of a rack another great idea of the idiot,heat rises mate so put the stuff that needs to be cooled most at the bottom so it can suck in coldest air & stuff that can work with warmer air put at top

releases of CD

I like Queen I have purchased over the years all their albums on CD (and got jazz with poster attached) they've released all the albums as a deluxe 2CD versions with Bonus material on the second CDS (5 songs/demos/mixes per album).

I looked on amazon 17 albums at 12 each that's 200 notes! All I actually want is the bonus CDs So these could be condensed into 6 CDs of material, costing 30 quid? I'd buy that but shelling out 200 notes when I'm watching every pound? This is just rubbing my face in it.

Terabytes ah yes - was that Xvid mpg or h264 or was it uncompressed? Having accidentally forgotten to select xvid once and ended up with a 80GB file size is useless

Same as mention above on hours of porn

Intel: Windows on ARM won't run 'legacy apps'

Apple

What no one has noticed is that

i

Pod

iPhone

iPad

all use ARM - all that uses Intel at Apple is Laptops/Desktops/Servers now given they've already done the PPC-> Intel what says they can't do Intel -> Arm? They've got the hardware guys, they've got the software guys, so it's possible. I'm betting Intel are shovelling discounts at Apple not to move to ARM. If Microsoft have Windows or ARM, then Apple can release a "boot camp" for ARM to take advantage!
