Here is a link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...#ht_1912wt_934

This link takes you to a shortblock engine. Specifically, a 604 cubic inch smallblock Chevy, set up for 15:1 compression. That's 9.9 liters. This motor has more displacement in every individual cylinder than the whole engine in one of Rob's beloved Metros.

So I came into work and turned one of my TVs on and Groundhog day is on. Cool. That was at 7am...now it's almost 11:30 and it's still on. I just checked the guide and they're repeating Groundhog Day...all day.....

What they did there, I have observed it.

I think that is what you would call a good day at work.

Had to be TBS. Only channel I know of that does that for most holidays. They've done 24 hours of "A Christmas Story" for as long as I can remember.

eBay deal blast right now is a new Apple TV, model MC572LL/A

Normally its $99.99 through Apple or Amazon. Right now its $79.99 and using my eBay bucks certificate I was able to pick one up for $63!

I didn't want to make a new thread just for this, so hopefully some of you guys that might have been thinking about getting one will catch this. Not much time left to buy it though. They normally have a 1000 unit cap for availability and last I checked it was around 420ish.....speaking of which. :)

I didn't mean that as a complaint. I quite like snow. The point is most people down here freak out if there is any kind of frozen precipitation.

Lost half of this tree by the road at about 11:30 last night

Back Yard:
Attachment 191234
The branch hiding behind the black trailer fell at about 10:00 last night - I was scraping ice off of my truck (parked in front of the trailer) at the time.

The driveway is about 1/2" of solid ice all around - the only way to walk anywhere safely is to walk in the 8" of snow, because the layer of ice on top of the snow breaks and caves in under your weight. The ice is probably what caused the power to go out for about 14 hours overnight - well, rather, the ice helped ferry a car into an electric pole, methinks.

This is about average weather up here :D

Suddenly your argument is valid. And I agree with it.

You going to CFRC Friday night?

NA6C-Guy 02-02-2011 06:27 PM

If I didn't already hate work, now in their typical fashion, they have given the night shift 20% more work and no extra employees, expecting us to stay even later than we already do. All for the same shitty pay no less. :vash: Can't wait to be in a position to tell this place to go fuck itself.

Shoot me a pm with their number and I will personally call and tell them to go fuck them selfs on your behalf since you need to remain anonymous.

Booo!

Head to head drifting is pointless. If I ever go to like Formula D or something its just for the atmosphere. I could careless about the outcome of any match ups or whatever.

Edit: Damn its raining hard as hell outside. Glad my car has a spot in the garage. :D

I am getting sick and damned tires of Harris' IT Security department.

About two years ago, they started using Symantec Endpoint Protection. It's a bit of a pain in the ass, and is somewhat redundant anyway, as our sites are already protected by a system that rivals the Great Firewall of China, but it's been tolerable.

This morning, I tried to load a firmware update into one of my consoles in the lab. To do this, I run a TFTP server on the PC I have in there, and just reset the console's controller. One of the first things that machine does when it boots is to send a TFTP request to port 69 of 192.168.100.11, and if it gets a response, it sucks down a little image file and writes it into NAND flash.

Except it didn't work.

Tried again with a different console. Nothing. Figured maybe something was up with this PC, so I ran a long ethernet cable down the hall to the machine in my office, and still nothing. Fired up Wireshark to see what was going on, and I wasn't even seeing the incoming UDP packet.

Ok, what the hell?


Turns out that yesterday afternoon, they pushed out a new SEP policy update which effectively blocks everything. Including TFTP. Now, I could understand if we were the accounting department, but this is a fucking development lab. We design routers. We use applications and protocols other than Outlook and http.

Of course, getting them to declare an exception to this policy is like a North Korean physicist trying to get an exit Visa from his government to visit the US with his family on holiday. Technically possible, but try doing it.

This is, quite literally, like living under the oppressive tyranny of Mordac the Preventer of Information Services.
