Doing that will risk flooding your helpdesk with calls from non-technical people who are annoyed that they can no longer read their thumbdrive full of pictures of the grandkids that they brought in to show off at work.

...and lacks the answer.

I'm going to laugh when this is how we find out that there are ~10,000 lurkers in here.

Fun little fact, at the time the movie "Wargames" was set (and I think even released), the security code for the Minutemen ICBMs was "00000000". 'Secret' Nuclear Missile Launch Code During Cold War Was '00000000'

Light is too bloody slow.

So is the video answer now acknowledged as the correct answer or should we be hunting for a different answer somewhere other than the video?

Dunno, that might be worse. Take a moment to imagine this: "Congrats to whoever on winning the three foot curved ludicrousHD display!" and then ... "Congrats c.gura​ on winning the Solarwinds foam jester hat!" ...I'm not sure I'd like that hat much. Lol.

Okay, the frustration with Q1 just melted away when I saw the new answers. Needed that laugh, thanks!

Mine was marked complete, fwiw.

Fair point, I suppose my thinking was more along the lines of whether it was a reasonable expectation for the organization as a whole or not. I don't think you can really expect enough of the staff (even IT) to be able to do that consistently in a large organization, and as such see the folks that can as more of a…

And unfortunately far too often security clearance is out of sync with the scope of the mission. I've seen a couple of environments where the analysts handling small portions of the data were required to have TS-SCI, but there were admins and engineers with sudo/root/domain admin/15/whatever who were only cleared to…

Truly, there is much to be thankful for in this bounty. A cosmic balance between Star Wars and Star Trek, as well as a temporal balance between BTTF and Doctor Who; all capped off with a wonderful high-end gaming platform. A good month indeed.

Ambush your boss's boss, then stash it in your boss's office.

Yes, if you look through the hint, "Host performance" is explicitly defined.

For Linux, you can add a line to a modprobe.conf.d file, "install usb-storage /bin/true". You'll still need to remove any other references to "usb-storage" in grub, modprobe, etc, and you may need to rebuild the initramfs file, but after that, your Linux systems shouldn't be able to use USB drives.

W00t! Another 150 closer to the fridge. ...just sixty four thousand, five hundred eight to go...

Green all the way across, now to wait until my 3000 points are ... already applied! Again guys, awesome job on the revamp!

"If it's not broken, it hasn't been issued to the infantry users."

Where did the "stop following" button go?

Interesting, and really gets to the heart of the matter -- what a lot of folks in IT think of as "backups" and "restores" in many cases simply don't exist anymore, especially in virtual/cloud operating environments. The functionality is similar, but more often than not, it's no longer simply rewriting some files and hoping…

Why do you get points for posting here?

Hell yeah! Prod is just dev with more screaming, anyway.

A good read to be sure, but I somewhat disagree with the premise. Compliance starts with people, certainly, but from there it balances between software and processes. More to the point, compliance tends to be an area which most closely mirrors leadership aptitude, as those are the people who have to drive and enforce…

Thanks for the information, wluther​. Mostly what I was referring to with the "value inflation" with the loot crate was the fact that one thing featured in every single crate I saw was a t-shirt, and most likely "valued" closer to the $25 you'd see in a mall, rather than the $10 (or less) that you'd see absolutely anywhere…

Congrats cisherwood​! Enjoy happy holidays and fragging in the new year!

Yeah. Some t-shirts were 2000, now they're 5000. Though the messenger bag was 9000 and only jumped to 15,000, so some of the bumps weren't as bad. But the snuggly snuggie is gone. The backpack is the one that frustrates me though, since that's what I'd been saving for and this last month's mission is what put me over 10k.…

Not 16 though?

Okay, there seems to be some of the answer in the video, but if you go and look at the docs, there's another answer. Annoying Red X today.
