Have you never seen Logan's Run? The last scene of the movie was filmed here, at the Fort Worth Water Gardens.

I am feeling somewhat disappointed that I get no sounds, thus cannot join in the grouphate.
You could always turn notifications on.

And now it shows who downvoted, too! Unless you got two downs and an up. @ben_lubar
@CoyneTheDup said in WHY DOES IT MAKE SOUNDS!?:
Except that, saving blank notification sounds fields does not work.
I set all three notifications to a sound, saved, cleared all three sounds, saved again. This seems to have worked.

it's just that "unset" means "make noise"
That is a bad default @julianlam

What? Pay retail price, you can move the license to a different computer. Pay the discounted OEM builder price, you can't. It's an economic tradeoff.
I bought an OEM Win 10 license for my Skull Canyon, because I don't intend to reuse it, because I expect the computer to be good for a long time. OTOH for my desktops I actually bought retail Windows 8 licenses, so they're technically reusable.

I took my dog on a quarter-mile or so walk around my apartment complex at lunch today and got 0.01km on my egg.
@ChaosTheEternal said in The Official Pokèmon Go Thread:
I just don't live "downtown", and apparently Niantic decided if you don't live in the urban centers (or live in a huge city), you get a shittier experience.
I live about three miles from a major park in my part of Dallas, one that's got a dozen+ pokestops all nearby. There's also 4 or 5 gyms in walking distance. Where I live? Even though it's a densely-packed urban neighborhood full of apartments, there's one gym with one stop next to it, and another stop half a mile away. All I ever see on the tracking meter are rattatas and the like. (Theoretically there's a dratini nearby but it's inside a golf course so effectively unreachable.) Total wasteland.

The job should actually email someone if it fails.
Yeah, who is it going to email? The guys who have the ability to re-run the job if it fails? Because that's supposedly the same people that are supposed to be "monitoring" it...
Yes. Because that way they'll know as soon as it fails. If you expect them to actually monitor it, well, good luck.

Right. Based on my experience watching this kind of thing elsewhere, nobody will monitor it once you're gone, and then six months down the line when it hiccups and fails, nobody will be able to figure out what happened.
Well, I provided the easy-tool, it's embedded as a page in the site that anyone with supervisor-level or above can access.
The not-so-easy is getting someone who knows how to call the job if it fails.So, I'm going to pet -project a way to one-off certain portions of the process just in case. They probably won't use that either.
Yeah, you know that's not going to be enough, right? The job should actually email someone if it fails.
At my last-but-one job one of my coworkers did something like that. He had a grandfathered cell phone plan with unlimited texts before that was common, and he had some fairly important jobs that he modified to send him a single text around midnight with, basically a go/no go status.

Bad drivers is the same as shovelware, though: not Microsoft's fault, even though they took the blame.

@Polygeekery said in mott555 tries to backup his ESXi software, and HP sucks:
uninstalled some of the HP crapware,
The desktop I mention in my last reply? It came with Windows Me, and HTTPS wouldn't work due to the crapware. I reinstalled Windows from CD--not the one that came with the computer, mind, but an actual retail copy I'd been gifted for being in the beta program--and I never had another software problem.
People love to bash Me, but I have evidence a lot of the problems where actually bundled crapware.
@Polygeekery said in mott555 tries to backup his ESXi software, and HP sucks:
We have had so much trouble with HP in the past few years that we have stopped purchasing their products, and stopped recommending them for purchase. It is all utter shit.
In 2000, I bought an HP Pavilion desktop that had some kind of weird creeping crud that caused it to refuse to boot. They cross-shipped me a new one once I told them I couldn't run their diagnostics because it wouldn't even POST.
In 2010 I bought a Pavilion laptop. Really nice machine until halfway through the first year it stopped booting, choosing only to notify me via blinking LEDs that it was either suffering from a CPU failure or a motherboard failure. I shipped it back to them 3 times, each time losing it for about a month. They claim to have replaced the CPU twice and the motherboard twice, but it kept locking up again. Eventually they managed to run out the clock on my warranty and I declined to extend it just to go through that runaround a few more times.
Fuck HP. I will never buy or recommend any of their products again.

I'd love to know how you managed to do that. That feeling is so frustrating, and it makes for unrestful sleep.

The best such systems I've ever run into, when they work, are the ones in which you enter a phone number and they call you back at that number when an agent is actually available.
If you need phone support on Google Fi, like I did last week when I got sent an email saying they were cancelling my account for the (null) phone i got for not signing up with service, which I actually did, you just go into the app and click a link saying you'd like a phone call, and you get a response in like 2 minutes.

When I was a kid, they still did the glass bottle delivery thing in my town. IIRC you would put your empties out on the porch or whatever and the milkman would pick them up when he delivered your new milk.

While this is true, in my experience, the week or so a jug of milk lasts before it's finished isn't really enough time to notice any such.

@flabdablet Didn't watch the video, but I did work at a place once where the application was written by some idiot savant who didn't trust the database's transaction functionality, so he wrote this huge PITA thing. To save a record, you'd copy it to a temp-table with a definition identical to the DB table, and then call a library function (one per table, IIRC), that found the original record and updated it by copying the contents of the temp-table. Horrible.

No, I am just thinking when I used to regularly use Dove. If I remember, I will try.
Give it a shot. You might want to go to a craft fair or something and see if you can get something unscented, too.
