Today i learned, no mater what you do, something is wrong.
So the sentence that you just wrote is wrong? (the substance of it, not that you have misspelled matter)Quote:

Shortly before that, I learned how to use sql server 2005 to back sharepoint, and how to move the physical location of already-created databases.
In fact, I'd say this week I have learned more about windows server systems than I cared to know before this week... there are a LOT of little details that you wouldn't even think about until they try to bite your nuts off.
Would they be the same that are on my Network+ or Security+ Certification Exams i will be taking shortly this year?Quote:

I'm not sure what sort of stuff is on network+ and security+, offhand, but a lot of what I've been dealing with is very activedirectory/win2k3 specific.
I should get some certs when I graduate ... just to shake them at people and say "look at this, pay me more!"
HA! Indeed thats what I'm doing and I hope to at least get a couple of the Certs I'm doing my courses on that too soon after I get though my net + I'm on to Windows servers, Linux, and CiscoQuote:

Today I learned that I don't know enough about Kerberos, yet. And also that if you were born on october 3, 1978, today would be your 10,000th day of life.
I'll be 10,000 days old in Feb of 2008. That's sort of cool, in an arbitrary sort of way.
Just because it has a book written about it doesn't mean it's an actual dialect. Actually, ebonics is fucking garbage and everyone who applies it to their speech is a moron.Quote:

A valuable lesson! That's what separate user accounts in limited user mode are for :p.
That, and backups. I personally recommend keeping your hard-to-replace data both on the local drive, and on an external usb2 disk. And not keeping the disk in plain sight, where a meddlesome person (like your brother) might decide that it's fair game to dump some data to, and delete everything else on it in the process.
Today I learned that the database project I've got that's due on wednesday is ... well ... pretty easy. Hopefully I'll be finishing it up and starting on the extra credit stuff tomorrow.
I also learned that windows (in an AD domain) will arbitrarily unmap drives that look like user home directories on reboot, even if they're mapped with different domain credentials, unless the drive letter you want it mapped to is defined in their AD user profile entry as a mapped drive. And that ICQ pro is a horrible sheisty program that insists on its users being in the "Power Users" group, because it's lame.
I do have a separate user. He just found my password. :( Guess, I have to change it and use a 12 letters one with numbers and caps.
But thankfully, I had my pics on photobucket and my friends will just give me their songs on a USB and I have to redownload the programs again.
Today I learned that apparently windmill's cost less than nuclear plants, even though it takes 1500 windmills to replace 1 nuclear plant and each windmill costs $1.8 million dollars to make.
Dunno. It's awfully hard to find unbiased information about that. Do you have some good reference? I only know wind used to have a higher levelized cost. But with all the technological advances, who knows. If you have a look at how traditional power plants are defended, it looks like the main argument is that "wind is not practical in large scale". That could be partly right: 1500 windmills probably take a lot more room than a nuclear plant, and few people want one as a neighbour, not any more than a nuclear plant.
Well, I got that information from a professor from Harvard that was defending windmills, which doesn't really make much sense.
Today, I learned that the oldest living animal is a tortoise that is over 170 years old....

Today I leared why sweating actually cools you down. Apparently, it's not the act of sweating itself, but the evaporation of the sweat into the atmosphere. The evaporation proceess asorbs heat, taking heat from the body. Now, this is also why a humid day feels so uncomfy. The more humid the air is, the more water is in the atmosphere, so when you sweat the sweat won't likely evaporate, thus no transfer of heat and uncomfort.
I actually learned this awhile ago, but found it fascinating.

It means the "an enzyme consisting of 267 amino acids" or a tryptophan synthetase A protein."Chemical terms should not in my opinion be listed as long words. Many, many compounds are so complex that their names would be horrific and probably beat the ones listed in all known sources. It is exceedingly hard to reconstruct the correct structure from the name, and many attempts are made to automate the process from structure to name and vice versa. To have the longest word, it would only require finding a larger protein, and as proteins are discovered at a rate of hundreds to thousands per week it wouldn't be sporty to accept those names as 'words.' Similar spelling-out for DNA sequences would yield even longer words as the DNA is continous for up to several hundred million bases where each base would be named something like 'uracilphosphate.'"

Long ago the moon was actually hot and gooey, before the cheese cooled down enough to warrant staging the moon landing because of the giant bacteria creating the Swiss-ness. Anyway, the Earth, being much bigger than the moon, pulled the spherical moon along it's equator making it look less like this ( ) a little more like this { } the tiny little points are closer to the Earth and have more mass then the other parts of the moon, so when the moon tries to rotate the pointy part away from Earth, Mama Earth starts yanking back on the moon, reducing the energy the moon has to rotate with, and consequently billions of years later people look up at a defeated moon that has lost the ability to turn faster than it goes around us thus we always see the same side.
I also learned the GW has a place where I can share random tidbits like this with other people, aren't forums just amazing!
The moon's orbit is also growing at about 4 cm per year. This is because of more wacky effects of gravity. The moon pulls Earth's oceans slightly away from it, creating the tides. But because the resulting tidal bulges are closer to the moon than the center of earth, the gravitational force is therefore stronger. The tidal forces create friction between the Earth and it's oceans, causing Earth to slow down slightly and it's oceans to end up somewhat ahead in their rotation. This in turn causes the moon to be affected by the gravitational force of the tidal bulges, pulling it forward in it's orbit (since the Earth and its tides spin faster than the moon orbits around them - it's like the tidal bulge is tugging the moon behind it as it rotates). The growing distance has been proven to be true because astromers can bounce lasers and shit off of reflectors on the moon left there during the Apollo missions and judge the distance from that.
Apparently all of that means that Earth's days are growing slightly longer over time as well. The actual measurement escapes me.

Anyway, uh... today I learned that growing my hair out wasn't such a good idea, because I can't see anymore.
They showed Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos on Adult Swim on April Fools day instead of Inuyasha. I welcomed the decision. I mean, Inuyasha might have a slow-developing romance and boring action scenes and story, but it does not have Super Ninja, which is probably the most ridiculous, yet most badass name for a villian. Ever.
And of course, not even someone named Super Ninja can stand up to Norris' lethal kicks. They also showed a similar cartoon starring Mr. T.
@Genma: I also started to find long hair annoying. Especially on windy days. If you happen to catch a powerful breeze coming from behind you, you can't see a goddamn thing.
Today, I learned that 1/9 women gets breast cancer.
I learned today (if by "today" I mean, around 14 months ago) that while women cannot get testicular cancer, for obvious reasons, men can get breast cancer. Plus I learned that Ultimate Spiderman rocks.
Today i learned that God#2 wishes he had Spidey Sense. If I were him, I'd be wishing for common sense.
Today I learned that Best-buy bought Toshiba media center laptops require something like an hour and a half worth of uninstall-time, intermediate registry editing skills, and familiarity with sysinternals "autoruns" application to purge all the horrible invasive nagging crapware that comes preinstalled.
If they had given me a winxp media center edition install cd instead of a system restore cd, I would have just formatted to save time.
(and no, I didn't buy it, my department's director did ... and handed it to me to set up for him)
It's a nice machine, but seeing how craptacular it is was before I got rid of the unnecessary and excessively resource-hungry bits, I have learned a valuable lesson: never, EVER buy a pc from a big-box retail store, unless you've got time to waste futzing with the horrible stinking pile of software that will inevitably come on it.
And to think you need to pay $189 CDN for me to do this for you when in the store. Even then I don't do all of it. As well all laptops you get from us have that same problemQuote:

How about insurance? Technically an insurance company could require good locks (for some deal), but wouldn't pay any attention to the fact the door itself is insufficient to make any difference.
Btw... How is it in Canada? I have noticed in American movies and series that doors always open inwards in the USA (unless it's just the TV and movies).... Over here they always open outwards. Thus, in the US the lock would be the only thing preventing a door from being kicked in (or rammed to be realistic). Over here, you would actually need to break the whole door into pieces or the door frame to gain the same effect. In that sense one might think structurally very sound locks would indeed be essential in the US. But like I said, I don't know about Canada.
The doors here mostly open in. Some open out tho. Sure the lock could get you a better deal on insurance but calling a lockie to unlock it would cost alot since they are a bitch to open.
Today I learned that Floods are the most common natural disasters. Many people who are in high risk areas, do not insure thieir houses. So if you live in a high risk area or even a low risk area, get flood insurance. High risk areas are: houses near rivers, areas that are plagued by hurricanes, etc.
This has been a public service announcement.
dragonrage.
A day late and a dollar short, I'm afraid. My house was flooded a few years ago and we didn't have flood insurance. We were located in a Low-risk area until about a few months before the flood, then they redrew everything and included my neighborhood as a High-risk area. But we had never had any flood problems during hurricanes before, so my parents didn't bother getting the insurance...=\Quote:

Then later the store gets broken into and ransacked, the insurance guy comes to appraise it and deems the robbery negligence because the owner didn't listen to the locksmith and fix his door. Now said owner has lost everything and goes out to drive the plot of the movie forward.Quote:

Heh. Fortunately over here that happens extremely rarely, so it's not really any point to be considered when designing houses and apartments. I suppose it's just some tradition.Quote:

Actually, I think the door opens in the direction that the flow of traffic is mostly going in. Or if the flow is about the same, then it opens in if it's a main entrance. For example the front door to a restaurant would most likely open into the restaurant, while a back-alley door to a restaurant would most likely open into the alley.Quote:

I have sometimes wondered if it's because of emergencies, or something, if people would need to leave a burning building in hurry (if there's a mass panic, the pressure of the mass would prevent you from opening a door in). But that's how it is here: Unless there's some specific practical reason for it to be otherwise, doors open out.
Today i learned that keeping my contacts in while i sleep is a pretty fucking stupid idea, my eye hurts like hell and it tears up constantly. Never had any problems with it before though.
Today I learned that buying pink eyeliner was a waste of time since I have no clothes to go with it.
...it's a tough world.
Going back to this whole "which way should the doors open" discussion ...
In a private residence, the primary doors should ALWAYS open inward, no matter what. The reasoning behind this is who has control of the door.
If someone knocks on your door and steps to the side, and your door opens out, they can jump at the door and hit it and they've got control of it, they can swing the door wide and walk right in.
On the other hand, if the door opens in, you pop your head out and they jump out, you can slam the door, or at least keep the actual door between you and them and try to push them out. In other words, you maintain a higher degree of control over entry to your home.
Similarly, bedroom doors behave the same for the same sort of reasons. In case of home invasion, it's universally better to have a door between you and the invader than not to -- especially when the door is somewhat sturdy and decently framed.
Moreover, the structural integrity of the door isn't going to matter much -- there's easier ways to gain access to a house than brute force through a locked door, if you're looking to commit a crime -- smashing a window is a surefire bet, and picking the lock tends to work quite well too. In fact, many households don't lock all of their windows, and many homes have sliding glass doors that can be susceptible to the old "glasscutter hand-hole" approach, which doesn't make a whole lot of noise if done skillfully. Kicking in a door can be easy, but it's also extremely conspicuous (ie: loud), just like breaking a window. It's unlikely to be done when people are home, knowing that they'll either call the police or have a shotgun at the ready (often both) by the time the door gives.
Remember: your property is not as important as you are. This is the whole reason why most home doors (and bedroom doors) open inward.
But what about public doors? They follow somewhat different rules. In a home, the average number of people is small, and it's unlikely that a crowd would be able to form and act irrationally. But in a public place -- a restaurant or store, for example, it's quite easy to imagine a critical-mass mob in an emergency (say, a building fire). Such a group would have trouble navigating an inward-opening door. Even worse would be a theater, where you have a large, dense group of people in a darkened room. Inward-opening doors can potentially be deadly, both because of irrational mob pressure blocking the doors, and because of the trampling risk associated with being between the forcibly-closed doors and a pushing mob of panicked people.
Public place doors almost always open with escaping fire in mind.
Most of the logic of which way your door should open is regulated by local building and fire codes. Some local codes dictate that in order to be certified past a certain occupancy, a building has to follow certain restrictions -- including which way the fire egress routes open. Other places don't even leave it an option, and simply force businesses to comply with those codes to even operate on commercially-zoned property.
I agree, except for a few points.
Crooks using lockpicks is very seldom unless its high end crime and that is not home invasions.
Glass cutters at crimes are very seldom aswell.
Also most home breakin's happen inbetween 8-5 when people are at school / work, thus no-one home and noise is less of a factor.
Yeah, it's a good point about what you said about private property doors opening in, and thus allowing greater protection for the one defending the property. I didn't come to think of it now when posting here, but the thought has crossed my mind earlier, when I have tried to imagine such a situation. Although I most likely didn't then think of the US standard, as it's rare here.
But based on your post, complich8, I take it many public places have doors opening out over there, as well? The emergency / panicked mass situation is indeed the strongest reason I have ever imagined for it.
Interestingly enough it's good to keep this in mind especially when walking through complex places, like large hospitals or universities. If you have a hunch whether you are going towards an exit or away from the nearest one, you can with satisfactory probability predict well beforehand if you need to push or pull a door. This allows a good chance to avoid the humiliating (ok, a little exaggerated) situation of trying to move the door to the wrong direction.
Yesterday I found out that my asswhole brother bought a 360 when I was going to so now I have 2 options:
1. lower myself and do crap just so I can play my games on his console b/c he's a douchebag.
2.I get a job and go buy myself one and start paying for the internet bill so he can't do anything online without asking me for my consent......
I choose option two -_-
option 2 is the correct answer, the key with brothers is that you always have to be in charge, if you have something they want you are the boss. If you can't keep it that way they will eventually whip you around and that is extremly humiliating especially if they're younger than you.
Today I learned that there is actually going on a serious discussion on which way doors should open.
I don't get where you get your reasoning from complich8. If door would open inward, someone outside could just push it in after you "pop your head out". Hence getting access to the house just as easily as when the door opens outward. Though if it opens outward you get a small advantage when leaving the house in a hurry. Also if the door opens inward, it steals alot of space in the house. Maybe you have heard of a peephole. It allows you to see who's at the door without needing to "pop your head out". In sweden almost all doors have these.
@Kraco: If you don't want to get humiliated anymore, just pay attention to which side the hinges are on. If you don't see any hinges, pushing the door should be the way to go.
today...i learned to be more ..uhh..kind to my friends...during basketball..i yelled "foul" to one of them..after the game..they were not happy about it...i guess the way i yelled is more like "scolding" than telling them.. sigh~
While that is true to an extent, still if the door opens in, you can have it as a defensive shield between you and the trespasser, like complich said. It will be then a match of strength between you and the criminal. If it opens out, you basically have to stick your hand out of the doorway to pull the door shut again. And that's hard if the offender stands in the doorway.Quote:

Today I learned that my band actually exists on the swedish wikipedia:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Pain
Markku - Guitar? Did he have Finnish origins, or is that name used also otherwise in Sweden?
Heh. Do you guys get a new name every year (even if it says you ended up with this one)? Well, if everything goes well with the demo, I think you will stick to the present one.
I don't know actually, never bothered to ask him about that.
True, true, well, when I joined the band it was already known as With Pain so I don't really know what's up with the constant changing of names. I think it's the best one anyway. :D
By the way if you poke around you can find other fun info, such as my old band and stuff.
Coolies~
It would be even coolier if I could read Swedish :(.
Today I learned that I got 2 As and 2 Bs this past semester. One of those Bs was in Linguistics, my major, which is a bit scary (I should have gotten an A). I'm satisfied though.
today i learned that i have been blacking out more often in Europe because I've been drinking more frequently than before...
not like that's going to change any time soon...
I also learned a shit ton about the Czech Republic and its history and alot of stuff about animals and such from the zoo and museum. Obviously I'm not going to post that all hear...
And thank god for comp's post! I hate doors to public places that you have to push to enter! dumbasses...

My friends and I did that :D. (8 of us I think it was) Except one of my friend's dad works for this private school which owns 20 acres of land, and gave them a free house to live on, however there is still ton of free space, so we rode out (he has 3 quads each seating 2 and a dirt bike, I have my own dirt bike too) like five minutes and started a bonfire there burning all remains of anything reminding us of school.
Today I learned how to surf on CS surf maps.
Today I learned that the German word for "sorry'' is "Entschuldigung!". Seriously, one must be REALLY sorry for what they did to say such a long ass word.
