I still occasionally get someone who'll question why we put restrictions on fileserver space when "I could just buy a couple terabyte disk at Fry's for a hundred bucks!", but that's about it.


Depending on policy requirements, I usually go ahead and advise them to do just that. Go buy your terabyte USB hard drive, and use it all you want. But don't come back to me asking for a restore when sh*t goes haywire and your job is on the line.


Yeah. Cause there's no way that could possibly backfire. Smiley: oyvey

We go a step further and declare the host OS volume expendable. If its on a portable drive or the C:\ drive, and it tanks, we're going to write it off and push a new image. Usually works pretty well. We have a policy in place that we will give them terrabytes of server space if they really need it, but we're definitly going to make them justify the hell out of that need before we give it to them. Most of our really large data is static though. Relaly huge high res ariel photographs used in CAD work for designing roads and whatnot.

as for toolbars, we're legally obligated to remove computer access for anyone who has more than two enabled.

I use InstantFox, which actually lets me do a buttload of searches without needing any kind of toolbar.

That's the beauty of Firefox, you can customise it to do whatever the hell you like.

Without the addon Firefox still has a search bar beside the address bar that can be configured to use any search engine of your choice. Not exactly the same as using the address bar for everything, but it's still better than a bunch of toolbars.

By default, typing random crap into the Firefox address bar makes Firefox try to figure out what website you wanted, as near as I can tell. That could be my ISP, though.

Every time I use Firefox instead of Chrome, this ends up making me mad when I'm doing it to google something.

With that addon, you can type whatever you want. If it matches a website closely, then Firefox will bring you to that website. If not, it will do a Google search for the term you specified.

If you type a letter before the term - such as y - then it will search the appropriate site for the term. So "y homestuck" would search YouTube for the phrase "homestuck"

I'm honestly not particularly fond of add-ons. In Opera, I was pleased that I could set up searches by entering a preferred address bar prefix shortcut and a search string in the settings panel to get it working, just as an example. I loved Firefox when it was leaner, but now I mainly use it when I want to open an additional Blackboard session. My grandfather's only really has adblock (I'm sure NoScript and Flashblock would add more problems than benefits), so it's not slow even on his oooooold (but clean) laptop, but I find that once I add more plug-ins, Firefox starts becoming slower, and this is a problem when you've got 50+ tabs open between your several windows on your virtual desktops.

Lack of virtual desktops is the main reason I was on Linux so long before I became a Macfag.

WINDOWS, STOP REQUIRING sh*tTY, HALF-BAKED ADD-ONS FOR THIS. EVERYONE ELSE MANAGES.

Smiley: dubious What if I want to search for "y homestuck" and it has no relation to Youtube at all?

Then you use the letter "g" for a regular Google search.

Like I said, you can google without using g, but g forces it to google.
