  1. Can't tell if you are mocking me or thanking me or both. Not that it really matters
  2. In x86, Opcode+ModRM "00 00" is Add [EAX], AL. That will most certainly generate the page fault reported in the BSOD. The beauty of x86 is that screwing up a binary is fairly trivial. A kernel mode driver filled with nulls is an easy way to crash a machine.
  3. They are not. Just need the keys to get through to the command prompt. That said, you either had to save your keys from before or access them from your corp portal. The process is quite easy for those who are tech savvy. Less so for those who are not.
  4. Totally agree re: devops. As you note, some think devops is git commit -b prod git push
  5. QA is also considered a lower caste in the IT/dev world. Prod deployment QA is even lower than dev QA.
  6. As alluded to above, a couple of things could have occurred. (1) there is some interaction with another recently deployed "feature" in windows - one they do not yet model (2) they do all of their QA in VMs - and there is a hardware, timing, etc. relationship. Nevertheless, they missed it - and their name will live in infamy.
  7. True agile has that in tier 7 of the testing, which is customer-testing. Windows boot, post-deployment, will now be part of the "DOA Testing" adding 5 minutes to the CI, slowing developers.
  8. Agile for the win? Happened to me last night around 1130PM CT. Given it was not yet widespread and workarounds prepared, I followed the typical approach for this: reinstall w/ saving personal files. Well, sily me... I neglected to realize that a reinstallation of Windows would NOT reinstall the corporate image. FML. That said, even for technically savvy people, the process of fixing a corporate-image-installed will be a bit painful: request to boot into safe mode, enter the bitlocker key - that you will have to get off of your phone authenticated to your business (using mobile Edge), boot, remove a file. BTW, writing this from my Mac.
  9. I find the E & J show somewhat like the discussions at a family Thanksgiving get-together. One brother (E) works for a right-winger and is trying to convince himself (and everyone else) that he's moderate (he really is) without impacting his gravy train. This brother is a well loved "goofball" in hi friend group. The other brother (J) is a moderate-libertarian who thinks he's smarter than everyone. His smarts have resulted in a distressed family life and myriad failed relationships. (E) capitulates, realizing it's only 1x per year (or 2 hours per day) and takes the high road. Fwiw - I use their podcast as the background noise as I try to fall asleep some nights
  10. I have lived in 3 states since I was 2 years old (> 5 decades): Alabama, Indiana, Texas (alphabetically). Trifecta!
  11. Imagine if he had split his time developing his shot with developing his video game acumen. He'd have at least 1 3-pt FG at this point. Paying fans should be glad they are only being subjected to this BS in summer league. Even Reddick is not stupid enough to give Bronny real minutes. That said, let Bronny and Lebron start game 1 together. Have Jr. heave a 3 and feign a hamstring injury, allowing him to join the pro E-sports ranks.
  12. Bronny and I have the same NBA 3-pt shooting percentage. Gonna make sure I brag to my family and coworkers this week.
  13. Will refrain from asking @Nicole44 her middle name re: Rainey.
  14. If only Rozelle would have let him buy an NFL team.
  15. I hope I do not get banned for this, but each of us is going to die. Not much we can do about it. Wishing death on someone is a colossal waste of emotional energy.
  16. Westbrook w/o the appeal and athleticism? Barkley talks about high stats players on shitty teams. Perhaps the WNBA equivalent of Barkley needs to step up.
  17. "Let me get my shoes" https://www.mediaite.com/trump/let-me-get-my-shoes-microphone-captures-trumps-comments-just-after-shooting/ Followed a drudge link (perhaps to my disappointment)
  18. Did not try hard enough
  19. What in the ever-living fuck? He should be ashamed - and then impeached.
  20. IMO, we should not try to turn this into a 2nd amendmant rights, laws, Indiana farmer, etc. thing. Criminals will always find a way to have access to the materials to be criminals.
  21. Reagan visited Purdue when I was a Sr. in HS, landing at the WL airport. The Secret Service was all over the crowd, etc. At one point, Reagan went "off script" and stepped up on the door sill of his bullet proof limo. EVERY secret service agent instantly became 1000% more attentive. He went off script. Not good. I am sure he was chastised for it. FIL's friend was a SS agent under LBJ. If the POTUS goes off script, the SS lets him know.
  22. I was wondering how long this would take.
  23. Holy crap. I thought it was that guy's real hair in the visor. Turns out you can buy a visor w/ replica Trump hair https://www.amazon.com/HAFKOIS-Spiked-Novelty-Baseball-Birthday/dp/B0CZ87KK3S/
  24. Shit, so we have to suffer through Mackovic again? Let’s just hope GGG’s successor has our 2026 WC team at 1995 levels and not 1997 levels. This feels more like 1997 Mackovic to me. Talent? Yes. Coaching? No. That said, there is an “inmates running the asylum feel” to GGG that jives with McWilliams.
  25. Was GGG our Charlie Strong or our Tom Herman?
