Wish me luck. I'm going to rollback a virtual machine from a disk based snapshot on our SAN! -- nm - kilboooo Oct 30, 07:44 5

- g'luck -- nm - budice Oct 30, 07:45 3
  - I knew I should have VM snapshotted the machine before messing with it last night. Now I have to restore the whole datastore to pull the VM off -- nm - kilboooo Oct 30, 07:47 2
    - ewwww -- nm - budice Oct 30, 07:48 1
      - Well, restore isn't the right word. NetApp let's me "FlexClone" the snaphost and present it back to VMware as a new LUN - kilboooo Oct 30, 07:49
St Poll #annualpaganrituals - If you were to trick or treat tomorrow what would your costume be and what candy would you want in your bag? -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 07:40 9
- colonel sanders, and I want all non-peanutty candy. ideally nothing banana-flavoured either, but I'm less picky about that. -- nm - mafinstein Oct 30, 07:49
- I'm a purist...scary costume...plastic pumkin, not a bag...and I'd want a variety: tootsie rolls, smarties, sweet-tarts, m&ms - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 30, 07:48
- I'd dress up as a S'Mores and want marshmallows in my bag -- nm - budice Oct 30, 07:47

- no. this is just more discrimination against the single and the barren!.... - x Oct 30, 07:49
- No ban. There are so many kids that need homes. -- nm - Amy Oct 30, 07:47 3
  - Seriously. And many good people who want children. The mind boggles for why you'd want to ban it. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:49 2
    - Cause gay people are the devil's work, obvie. -- nm - Shaun of the Dead Oct 30, 07:50 1
      - And unmarried couples are banging out of wedlock so they are just as bad. -- nm - Shaun of the Dead Oct 30, 07:51
- lame. -- nm - mafinstein Oct 30, 07:45
- Give the kids their own apartment and let them raise themselves. We are too soft on kids. -- nm - Deadmond Oct 30, 07:42
- Yes. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 07:42 15
  - so having these kids be wards of the state is better? isn't ONE parent better than none...or the State of Arkansas? -- nm - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 30, 07:57
  - There's no guarantee that married couples who adopt will stay together. And unmarried couples who want to adopt won't necessarily break up. -- nm - Roger Morbid Oct 30, 07:49 1
    - There's no guarantee of anything, but I'm willing to bet that #'s trend more toward unmarried couples with kids splitting more frequently than the - Will Hunting Oct 30, 07:52

    - "And with 95 percent of precincts reporting Senator Obama leads the maverick Senator from Arizona by 20 points. Don't go away folks, this is too - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:48
  - What polls, specifically? There is a +4 in PA, but that appears to be an extreme outlier, as numerous other polls are in double digits. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:44 1
    - And other polls show it getting out of hand (+6 in NC, +4 OH, +12 PA, +7 NV, -4 AZ). Silly to cherry-pick. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:51
  - Speaking of tightening, do you remember that fist sign you made at me the other day? That was hysterical. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 07:44 2
    - you'll have to be more specific...I do that alot. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 07:50 1
      - At the laundromat when i was having the problem...And you don't make the fist sign a lot. You make the slap/spank sign a lot. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 07:53

      - yeah, I totally missed that, my bad... -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 07:38
      - What exactly are you spoiling? The 59 percent is from sample survey/poll, and not official counted votes. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:38
      - I believe this refers to the survey kind of poll. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 07:37

With gas prices dropping so dramatically recently I doubt most people will care about the oil companies' soaring profits this time around. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 07:26 16
- I'm curious how much of that profit comes from the sale of gasoline and how much comes from all the other energy initiatives that those companies are - kilboooo Oct 30, 07:32 7
  - Doesn't matter. Cheap gas = no public outcry. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 07:33 6

  - And here we can agree. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 07:37
  - see, I like white chocolate as a occasional treat. -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 30, 07:37
  - I hate white chocolate. -- nm - Deadmond Oct 30, 07:36 8
    - white chocolate is *really* not chocolate....nm - x Oct 30, 07:44

  - I always bake with milk chocolate - *never* dark. - kelly Oct 30, 07:35 2
    - there's still time for you to learn the error of your ways. : ) -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 07:36

Okay, time to settle this once and for all. ST Poll -- When you think of regular chocolate, do you think of milk or dark chocolate? - znufrii Oct 30, 07:26 18
- I don't discriminate. -- nm - Amy Oct 30, 07:31 2
