    How is there a login issue that wasn't there when the server went down for a reboot if you guys didn't patch anything? please tell me you guys didn't apply OS updates without doing adequate research... (Broken packages suck as an FYI!)

    I work in IT, with many systems in large data centers. I can tell you that "Restart" = cross your fingers and pray it comes back up without any issues. ;)

    We're extending our window by 30 minutes to 10:30 PST as we investigate a login issue.

    after the 30 minutes extra time its usually penalties...

    In the 80's I owned an Atari 800XL for my first computer. It had a tape drive, which was possibly more high tech than the server's Cryptic have rented for STO.. :P

    I had an atari 800xl as well-but my first computer was a sinclair zx spectrum which had a MASSIVE 48k ram lol

    Tempted to nab an Amiga myself... either that or a Commodore 64... think i'd go the Amiga route though... could be a nice change for ANSIBBS stuff or VT220 even... dunno whether I'd prefer ANSI BBS or VT220 though for what I want to do... Imagine being able to play games via a LAN telnet interface.... that'd be impressive... EDIT: Quoting system is broken

    I can remember my dad bringing home a commodore PET in the summer holidays from the college he taught at, all 4k of memory of it :D


    The Amiga was a damn good machine, mine gave me sterling service

    TRS-80 Model 1 Level 2, Apple II+, C-64, Atari 520ST, 386, 486, Pentium, etc. Have spent way too much money just to play friggin' games. On the plus side, been more than happy with my Core2Quad Q6600 for quite a while now, plays everything I want at 1920x1080, which is a good thing ;)

    Anyone here ever own a TRS-80? The digital watch on my wrist has more computing power that those did. :smiley:

    Most certainly, bought one when I was a senior in High School. Played a lot of "Invasion Orion" on that sucker, even made my own scenario for that game based on the escape from Hoth by the Rebel Alliance.

    I had a High School class in BASIC on TRS-80s in the 1980s. Let's see if I can remember the first lesson correctly:

    READY
    LINE 10: PRINT "HELLO!"
    LINE 20: GOTO 10
    RUN

    Then the whole class gasped "Ooooooh! Look at us, we're computer programmers fer sher!"

    I would... alas, everyone and their mother hates my guts.... probably has something to do with I hate help desk roles and those that blindly forward on PEBKACs... Trust me, if someone who was supposed to replace you massively messed up a switch replacement even though the cabling diagrams also had a note at the bottom of every page saying "NOTE: If a switch fails, we should have a few spares in the server room. LACP-Compliant switches are required and it is preferred in this instance to use the same switch model for easily restoring the configuration files from backups." They plugged in a regular 10/100 switch... we were running 1Gbit switches with LACP... Entire network immediately crashed.

    No, ether the hamsters are dead, or we would be in right now, OR this is just some really really bad code they are wrenching, just a guestimating.

    Yup, especially with Cryptic coding that makes intertwined spaghetti look organised..

    I love how people just go "Wow maintenance was longer than expected it's the code! Such bad code!"

    Seriously, what an oversimplification of the problem.
