The IT Dept. where I go to school at are a bunch of idiots. They run WinXP on their servers and don't know a thing about Linux. I asked them about putting a Linux machine on the network and this is what they told me:
"You'll have to secure it and get anti-virus software for it"
I laughed my ass off. :rolleyes:
I work a computer lab w/ about 30 iMacs and a bunch of Gateway computers running XP Pro. That Gateway lab is down most of the time because they're "reinstalling." It appears that everytime something goes wrong they reinstall XP. So I decided to play a little trick on them:
When I was closing on enight, I did the classic Print Screen followed by setting it as the wall paper, getting rid of the icons and dragging the task bar down . . . You click all over the place, and nothing happens.
I come into work the next evening, and my supervisor has already called the IT people over to have a look at the computer that was "acting up." I gave them a little more credit and gave them about 5 min. to solve the little dilema.
10 minutes later...after clicking all over the place and nothing happening....
:confused: "I'll have to reinstall."
:eek:
They never once tried to reboot or even hit the Start button on the keyboard. I was amazed...
Please tell me there are more competent all-windows IT depts. out there. Give me a little hope for society...please
