I have yet to see anyone, male or female, that doesn't look instantly unsexy with a tattoo on the side of their neck. -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 07:51 8
- I dunno. The Beckhams (both) don't look too bad. -- nm - decline Jun 24, 07:56
- most tattoos should not be seen. maybe I'm just crochety though. If you can't hide wearing normal clothes in a business setting, don't get it. -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 07:54 4
  - and if you can't see it, it's dumb, so don't get tattoos. QED. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 07:57
  - This is my approach to my tattoos. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 07:55 2
    - same here. I don't mind tattoos at all. sometimes they can be very sexy. but not so much when you have a full sleeve and you work in a bank - sycor Jun 24, 07:57

- I didn't know it opened yesterday either. -- nm - Jim Jun 24, 07:48 3
  - me either. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 07:53
  - Me either, until I saw a commercial that said "Now Playing" and I was all "huh? Oh, it's Wednesday. I guess it .. opened today." -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 07:52
  - werd. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 07:50

  - i know. but i dont need a 25" monitor, i want a sub $100 1080p monitor -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 07:36 4
    - Few people "need" a 25" monitor. - JaxSean Jun 24, 07:39 2
      - i already have my comptuer connected to my 32" tv, so this would actually be downsizing. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 07:42 1

Tech question - ty97 Jun 24, 07:14 4
- Active Directory replicates. Domain controllers do not have local settings, only domain and they replicate -- nm - oblique Jun 24, 07:16 3
  - So if you know the settings on one DC, you know the settings on all DCs (in that domain), yes? -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 07:17 2
    - Yes. At least regarding domain level settings. They, of course, have their own Registry, etc. so they do have individual settings - oblique Jun 24, 07:18 1
