archermoo Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: The cranky thread That depends on the Data Center ... ours houses more than just silly Exchange Servers though. I don't know any of the root passwords but I go in there for different reasons. Hence the Oh, and routers != Exchange Servers. And Exchange runs on Windows, which doesn't have a root account in the first place. Minor details... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor details... yea yeah.. the network and server group can go that way... the equipment I work with has more blinky lights and therefore looks cooler anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pretty much worked with it all. Phone systems tend to have the most blinkinlightzen on them in my experience, but the big blade servers are pretty cool too. I really liked the tape robot we had in one center. Moving parts AND cool lasers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Receiver equipment outdoes phone system blinkinlightzen, it's just amazing the number of little blinky things we have in some parts of the center.

Old Man Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: The cranky thread Heh, we just got our hands on some off-brand JBOD disk shelf that has an array of blue LEDs on the front that do nothing but blink and look cool. As for the root passwords, I don't know them, I'd have to decrypt the password list and look them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, it is the packages clearly labeled 'fragile' that receive extra abuse.

gewing Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: The cranky thread back to cranky! I thought I lost a filling in my rear upper molar(15) over the weekend. In addition, I have been having pain a couple teeth ahead of it for a long time. In '03, I had a root canal on the tooth in front of the rear molar(14). It turned out that I had broken off the back surface of the molar. They reconstructed it, kind of like a partial crown. Pretty cool. ONLY $230 after insurance... (I had to replace 4 tires on the Trooper last week, and today is house payment day, so...) Unfortunately when the took the x-ray of tooth 15, they found out why I have been having trouble. There is an abscess on the root of tooth 14. The docs figure that I am one of the roughly 10% of the population that have a secondary nerve, so 4 nerves in three roots. The 4th nerve was missed, and so... After insurance it is about $544. They will go in below the gum... and basically cut off the tip of the root, clean out the dead nerve, and fill the holes they make in the process. Now I have to find a bunch MORE money that I don't have, and the Baby is due 2 months from today! The only good thing is that the abscess is apparently draining into my sinuses, and that is almost certainly why I have had chronic sinus problems on that side and in that area. The weird thing is, until they worked on 15, 14 was NOT temperature sensitive. Now it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: The cranky thread Gah. I belong to that same 10% of the population, though I found it out in a less-expensive way. When I last had a filling replaced a couple of years ago (nothing near as traumatic as yours), the dentist numbed me up and started to work ... and I was in real pain. When he realized I was squirming, he backed off and hit me with another shot when he explained the problem. After that, no pain for me. I do understand now, though, why I had such a problem when I had that tooth worked on back in my teens. I figured it was "just" the Army dentist....

We wouldn't treat them any differently mind, but we didn't go out of our way to hurt Fragile boxes. The only guy I wanted to really hurt was the jack*** who sent a friggin' Harley Fat Boy frame through UPS, unboxed. Guess what, they're heavy and unwieldy POSes. We were trying to figure out how to make it have "an accident." It survived the fall off the loading dock unfortunately. But not without scratches!!!
