You know your boss is good when...

Had a boss/employer back in 2007 that was a pleasure to work with and for. Although, to be honest, for the first six months, he was very matter-of-fact, stand-offish and quiet. What I didn't realize at the time was that that's how he 'sized' people up before really interacting with them. But after that, we routinely had lunch meetings that he'd pay for, outdoor 'smoke-break' chat sessions while he enjoyed a cigar, and the occasional 'just because' gift in thanks for the job getting done. He was also fond of sending home little trinkets and things that he'd pick up in his travels abroad. He was the CEO of the company... but it wasn't long before I counted him as a friend.

You are helping to set up something in permissions/on the domain/in AD and he says, "Just one thing I noticed you did wrong, but now realize that you’ve done it a better way," and to change the documentation and update the other stuff to the new way.
This happened to me, and it was a total fluke, and I did actually "mess up" compared to the original way. However, he saw the mistake and thought about whether or not it could be better. I really respect him for not thinking that the old way is the best way, and taking the time to think about it.
Any stories that you have about understanding, thoughtful, progressive, or otherwise "good" bosses?

LocationServices on iPhone..when do you know your location is "good enough"

Hi. I've been having some weird issues with location services and maybe I'm just not understanding it completely. I need to grab the user's location with the best accuracy possible so I gather updates for about 10 seconds and take the update with the latest timestamp. However, this doesn't seem to work out so well when a user (yes this scenario just happened) is on the West Coast and turns off his phone to board the plane. Then he arrives in the east coast and opens up my application. It tries to get his current location, but it doesn't say it's on the east coast. The location still shows a west coast point. How do you guys pinpoint the user's location as best as possible? I've noticed the google maps app seems to zero in on the user's location little by little, but I'm not sure how they are doing this or if this is just some heuristic. I just don't know how long to gather location updates before I know for sure that I can get their current location.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Somewhere in the docs or examples it suggested you discard any locations with timestamps that are 'too old'. I guess probably 20 minutes or more would mean stale location...

You know your using a toy router when....

You know your using a toy router when it warns you not to click the "advanced settings" because its complex!
A sign might as well be waved in front of you saying:
YOUR A MORON DONT CLICK ADVANCED
The irony of this is though, there are no settings of real use in the advanced section anyway and clicking it is in fact pointless. A sign might as well be waved in front of you saying.
CLICK HERE FOR POINTLESS ADVANCED BUTTON

Latest bugbear of the HH2;
You know you're using a toy router when you can't even define static routes!
OK so a lot of people won't need/understand it but couldn't it have been left in? I've now got two choices, I either use the HH2 crack (does it still work) so I can gain telnet access and add the route there, or change router.
Neither of which I particularly want to have to do just to get my VPN working the way I want it to.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, and restore.
Have you tried these?

How do you know your wireless is secure?

I want to know how you know your internet is secure so no one in your neighbor hood can steal or hack my internet service. A few people in our house use a mix between ethernet cable and wireless. I don't use the wireless so i don't know how you set it up on the computer but when you use wireless for the first time to you have to enter a user name and password to access? I just want to make sure its secure. Thank you

Prevent someone from hacking your network.. simple, dont use wireless at all and turn the wireless on the router off. Thats the only option to prevent hacking. All other security settings like WEP, WPA, WPA2 will only slow a hacker down. They will not stop them.
Now if you want wireless, then your only option is to use encryption. Again this will only slow hackers down. But the chances you have a hacker next door is rather remote. Now by default the Verizon router uses WEP security. This is just the basics. Keeps honest people honest. Now if you want to increase your security, you can change the router security to WPA2. Dont worry about WPA as this is basically the same as WEP in terms of security effectiveness. WPA2 is more secure than the other two. This will keep you safe from the novices. Then as long as you dont have an advanced computer user nearby you should be fairly safe.

HT201303 What about if you know your password, but forget the answers to my security questions?

What do you do when you know your apple ID and password, but forget your security question answers? It won't let me purchase any music without answering them.

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

My 30 day Photoshop trial finished yesterday. I purchased the $9.99 per month Photoshop package and received an email saying "Thank you for your payment etc" But when I go to open PS it still says "the trial has expired.."

My 30 day Photoshop trial finished yesterday. I purchased the $9.99 per month Photoshop package and received an email saying "Thank you for your payment etc" But when I go to open PS it still says "the trial has expired.." Is it supposed to work automatically or is there a step I'm missing?

1. Close all the Adobe Applications. Log-out from creative.adobe.com and re-login.
2. Once you launch the software and when you get the error saying the the trial version has expired, you will have an option saying "License this software".
3. Select this option and enter your credentials and click next.

If you know your password to iTunes but forgot your sercurity questions how would you change them?

If you know your password to iTunes but don't know your sercurity question answers how do you change them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    2.    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    3.    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

You know your turning into a geek when........

.......... you get to CompUSA and start to drool over a PSU. HAHA Thats what I did tonight. Went in looking around for some new goodies, when I happen to look up on a shelf with a few over so-so power supplys, and saw they had an "Ultra X-connect 500w" PSU. Then my little beedy (sp) eyes started to glaze over, palms started to sweat, heart started racing. I looked around to make make sure there wasn't another geek or two gonna come up and grab one of these little gems out of my little sweaty hand. Anyway, you get the idea.
Man, I really must say, these are some killer PSU's. I just got my system back up after installing it, and it must be my imagnation or something, but my whole system is freak'n acting a hell'va lot snappier. I checked the voltages and its holding just over the numbers on all rails, steady as a rock. Sweet look'n little unit too. With a mirrored chrome finish, UV reactive cables, and was one of the best packed boxes I've seen a PSU come in. Ok, I like it, ok? hehe. Gonna run some tests and see if I can get a few more Mhz now.
Ok, dam it! I'm a believer now..... as well as a geek, it looks like.
Edited: For typos, never try and write when your dog tired, and haven't had any sleep in twenty some hours, lol.

pinochio, Well, my wife knows how I am about computers and gaming. "Obsessive"
Paul Foster, Cool man, Thanks
devil28, Before I used a Antec truepower 430, and a smartpower 450. Both of which have served me well, but still didn't quite cut it when it comes to powering this system. Imagination or not, I can run a a higher O/C and with tighter timings than I could before, I'm running the 4 dimms in my sig at DDR 400 O/C'd with tight as tight a timings as I could with just two dimms at the same freq. on either of those two PSU's I mentioned. Also, the Sata connectors now come packaged in the newer shipments. Although CompUSA last night had the older ones, but thats not a problem to me.... My HD has both type of connectors. Also, Ultra is shipping out the Sata connectors free to those that buy without them packaged in. The only slight issue I had with the cables is the length. In my case, it was kinda a tight fit, but still worked out wonderfully. Next week I'm gonna get one of the huge a$$ CoolerMaster server cases that CompUSA has... and I mean HUGE.... Awesome case... just can't recall the model atm. I'll look it up.
