Today I learned that "ebonics" is not just lazy English (a widespread misconception), but really its own dialect of English with its own rules. There is even a book on the subject which details its origins and grammar rules/properties.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
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)
Today I learned that a successful activedirectory install with a sane firewall requires you to open up a significant portrange (of otherwise unused ports) for the rpc locator service. I also learned how to constrain that port range to something sane, and learned enough about how sharepoint stores user and group info that I could manually delete a spurious database record from sql server 2005.
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?
image fail!
we're talking more like mcse stuff in this case...
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!"
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.

Today I learned that a Segate Internal Hard drive needs a stupid SATA adapter to make it actually work.
R.I.P Captain America.
Today, I learned that if you go on a vacation for a few days, some one will come and delete your programs, your pictures and your songs on the computer. Ex: my brother -_-
A valuable lesson! That's what separate user accounts in limited user mode are for.
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 Kaspersky anti-virus is more over protective than my mother, and the only reason I couldn't play GunZ Online was because of it. Bitdefender baby!
I also learned two alternative ways to do mathematical proof by induction other than doing the k+1 method.
Today i learned that my teachers are complete idiots for letting me have a laptop at school. They think all i am doing is taking notes but what they don't see is that there is a USB cable heading straight to my phone connected to the internet. Now if only i could hack onto school wireless without Novell...
Today I learned never to use #20 gage wire while you let 10 volts and over 10 Amps flow through it. Wire can catch fire too. Now if they had only waited until I brought the #12 from home...
My campus has at about 98% wireless coverage. People who bring laptops to lectures often spend their lectures playing DOTA or CS:S online instead of paying attention or taking notes.
The high school I went to, I wouldn't dare bring a laptop or anything of any significant value to. Lots of thefts, even from locked lockers. Lots of gangbangers -> no backpacks, no coats carried in the building during school hours (for fear of guns, mostly).
