Smoking some reefer and wasting some fucks in black ops.

or, you know, huffing a bag full of petrol.

Oh, he's certainly done enough LSD to fuck his head permanently. Just keep in mind that about 90% of what lolspeed says are lies and he thinks it's clever to act dumb.

Trying to shoe horn a relational database into sharepoint.

meh, that's what you get the big bucks for

Quick launch bar: Make sure the user logs out cleanly after settings are applied, then get them to log in again.

If they just power off the PC at night (and I've seen nupties that do this at the fucking WALL) the quicklaunch settings won't stay.

Nah, my head was well fucked up prior to any drugs I took, LSD was therapeutic (not that I would recommend it for this purpose - see a shrink, you might even find a doc in NZ willing to offer you an ecstasy based treatment which is showing great promise).

Prejudice around the topic of drug use is still well entrenched though, even if gains are being made. You can tell when a desire for more knowledge quickly rebuffed by what is already known, as if that's all we need to know.

I actually did that for her when she left for the day. It's a rule that we lock our work stations if not at the computer, even if we're just going to get a drink from the watercooler - however, like 80% just leave that shit unlocked 24/7. It drives me batshit crazy.

The damage that can be done with one of our computers unlocked is unbelievable, you can change ANYTHING and they just get up and go leaving shit unlocked all the time. It's just sheer ignorance and unwillingness to learn anything or listen to someone younger than them. "Oh it's fine it will log itself out soon". Hoolllllyyyy fuuuuck.

I would love my job, if I had my own office on the other side of the building with a door that only I could open and close so I didn't have to deal with self entitled baby boomers doing the absolute minimum required to not get fired so they can coast to retirement.

Aaaand off to work I go :D!

Sounds like you need to upgrade to Windows 8 brah.

You got a white shirt, black suit jacket and black pants? Good. Get a cheap fucking bow tie from a $2 shop and a toy gun and you're set.

[StN]

Get 8 stuffed cats from a toy shop - stitch them onto a t-shirt.

Octopussy.

lol, iTunes

[DrTiTus]

Those pins in the MacBook magsafe connector grind my gears.

Having a reggae moment - they're jammin'. Ordered replacement charger #5 or so.

[Cyberbob]

For how "smart" it is, iTunes is really fucking dumb.

This is my experience, literally 30 seconds ago.

Hey, you just clicked on an app link on a web page, let me check for iTunes... Nope, not installed, Let me forward you to the iTunes download page.

Download iTunes Free!
You’re just a few steps away from downloading music, HD TV shows, movies, and more from the iTunes Store.

*Waits for 86mb to download*

Then POW. Right in the kisser.

It's not exactly some niche iTunes for Linux flavour of the month. It's Windows FFS.

A majority* of their client base will still be windows users. It should be as easy as possible to do business with Apple. This shit makes it hard.

yes, and that is why you get shit like "whoops you got the wrong bits version of your musics and ringtone program, do it again dummy!!"

Yeah, because you know, apple, like, NEVER fucks up. Nope. Not ever. And they would never do a worse job of ANYTHING than Google. Nope. Couldn't happen.
