Nice information--it's easy to see some of these actions taking place, particularly in environments where dba's may not have time to fully understand everything in their world, and when there's pressure to get changes/results quickly. Thanks!

I agree that leg room is not as important to me as seat width. I'm not likely to get longer (or shorter) legs. But it is possible I could become wider. Or the people on both sides of me become wider. Until such time when society is OK with strangers on both sides of you touching you with their bellies or hips or elbows for…

Without intending criticism or to introduce controversy (in other words, don't be too parallel between the DBA's first 100 days thing and the first 100 days of being in a political office), don't operate in a vacuum. * Research how your predecessors have succeeded or failed in the job.* Emulate their successful behaviors *…

It's ongoing right now--I had loads of trouble accessing it from the links provided, which turned out to be some weird problem with IE (I was able to get in with Chrome). There's virtually always a link to a recorded session for something like this, which should be posted today or tomorrow (my guess, not my promise).

Boston Dynamics' robots warning residents of Singapore to keep their distance to control the spread of Corona Virus? It seems we are either late to that party (I'm talking to you, New York City), or we might not be doing too badly self-isolating to keep from spreading it, even when we don't think we might have it ourselves…

Hmm. The Weather Channel hit by ransomware. That's a really tough one, from a sort of tongue-in-cheek point of view. On the one hand, ransomware is bad, illegal, evil, greedy, mean spirited, etc. Nothing good comes from it. On the other hand, the Weather Channel wants to know my location so it can better target me for…

I like that philosophy. It matches well with the concept of oaths taken and kept, even while changing allegiances. I'm reminded of a ST:TNG episode (A Matter Of Honor (episode) | Memory Alpha | FANDOM powered by Wikia ) where Riker participates in an officer exchange program with the Klingons. When they order him to…

I guess I'll be the first one to make the connection for the Casino hack via IoT aquarium thermometer: If you want to catch a whale, start practicing with a guppy. ("Whale" is a term Casinos use for a high-spending customer.)

I like your list, but your Millenial terms haven't made into my vocabulary yet. "Jelly" and "totes"? One might guess "a dorbs" could be short for "Those cute little things are ADORABLE!" But I've no idea whether I'm in the ballpark with that. I especially hear you on the password length issue. I've been looking at…

Fishcoin? OMG! You're so right--the depths of stupidity have yet to be plumbed. And Fishcoin is doing its level best to show "how low can you go?"

There's so much truth in your statement: "We make asking for permission so distasteful that everyone goes off and does their own work (unfunded and unstaffed, of course)." No matter whether it's a team member who hopes for a better way to do something, or a 4-year-old who wants to eat all of their Halloween candy in one…

I completely trust most of my country's publicly funded scientists (like NASA, like the folks at the EPA, like those in the National Parks) because I believe they are searching for truth, and that they know the difference between wrong, and that they will do the right thing. I feel that no one gets rich doing their jobs,…

Each time I find something to complain about to my wife or friends, lately I've taken an immediate step back and thought about my latest "problem" in terms of how big a problem it really is when compared to not having safe & clean water to drink, going to bed hungry for the third night in a row, being worried about…

Today's "correct" answer is not valid in my deployment, since we don't allow Solarwinds to have RW snmp permission. But the options that would make today's correct answer correct in my environment can be seen--they're just grayed out. Today's is a conditional answer, depending on your security needs & your NCM/NPM…

Those have significant value today, if eBay is any judge. The right one in working condition with the original box & manual might be worth $1000 - $5000

As a little kid, I loved watching old westerns and pioneer TV shows & movies--especially Daniel Boone, Davy Crocket, and the like. I loved those rustic role models and their little cabins in the woods. It wasn't long before I was playing with Lincoln Logs building log cabins. And then graduating to Erector Sets to build…

Someone asked me how to re-arrange the graphs within a previously-created Performance Analysis. I checked the manual, couldn't find the info I need. I don't find anything in Thwack about re-arranging the graphs. It seems it ought to be drag-n-drop, but I'm not finding it. If someone doesn't like the layout they have, are…

Honey Crisp has been my favorite in recent years, too. But I've been listening to NPR stories about new apples--some of which you can't buy unless you join a grower's club! http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/11/10/358530280/want-to-grow-these-apples-youll-have-to-join-the-club I'd like to try some that are reportedly…

That problem is identified here: How to create a report displaying the Last Time Data was Transmitted or Received on a Switch Port Just read the solution I provided to another Thwack member (cabotski ) who had the same issue, and I think you'll be golden. If not, reference my response to shottadrae further down in that…

This must be REALLY hard for SW to engineer and develop. 1300 Up Votes is not small thing.

Red Adair worked in quite the dramatic environment. I started reading about him back when John Wayne played his character in a 1968 movie about extinguishing oil well fires. Red worked on the aftermath of the Iraqi army setting fire to the oil wells in Kuwait as they withdrew under the onslaught of U.S. soldiers taking…

Oh, SURE . . . give the entire Mission away . . . Except . . . well . . . that HAS been the pattern . . .

I will not be surprised to learn the other "leading" credit reporting agencies have vulnerabilities--perhaps greater than or equal to those of Equifax. And certainly those companies are targets equal in importance to those who breached Equifax.

Time to get my SAN guys teased enough to check this out?

I'm cautiously optimistic, while remaining skeptical, about the viability of cyborgs. First guarantee they're 100% ethical and altruistic; then I'll jump on their band wagon. The last thing we need is immortal engines of steel with immoral desires and unethical motivations.

Thanks for a very thoughtful December, adatole. Many bits of wisdom were shared, and I come away better for reading them and pondering them and applying them to my life.

We "encourage" our data center vendor to run their environments in methods that optimize up time AND that reduce the vendor's costs. Where we can, we utilize less hardware and more efficient styles of hardware. And keeping the Chlorophyll running under the floors required us to hire special horticulturists who specialized…

New York & Amazon not playing nice with each other? Each have millions of dollars at stake? Surprised?
