Did I wake up in 1995, or is the SAAQ restricting my choices to two banks in Quebec?
I can renew my license plates online with a credit card, but for some reason, they seem to want to force me to either waste paper and a stamp, or to go to their location to pay.
And yes, paying at their location will cost you an extra $3 on top of that $86/year driver’s license.

What ? The government computer only gets in at noon on Sundays ? ??
Having issues similar to:
Trying to enable EFS on a specific OU, while it’s disable at the top of the structure or domain?
Recovery certificates from two different GPOs mixing up instead of being replaced?
Overall EFS GPOs looking like they aren’t merging properly?
Well, it’s not because EFS GPOs are supposed to behave like black magic. Turns out there’s a bug, Microsoft’s aware of it, but doesn’t think it would be a good idea to FIX IT on Windows XP and 2003.
Thankfully, all it means is you need to edit your GPOs from a Vista, 2008 or Windows 7 machine.
Opening my EFS GPOs in Windows 7, switching the Allow/Don’t allow and applying the ‘change’ fixed my GPOs. A few minutes later, and stuff was behaving like it should’ve been… Can I have those wasted hours of my life back, Mr. Ballmer?
I recently got a Lacie D2 network drive. It has been working pretty well, I’m using it for SMB share, AFP share, time machine and to share movies and music to my ps3.
I own a copy of Office that is the download-able version. It is basically a selft-extracting exe that then runs a setup.
I had it stored in a SMB share on the Lacie drive. I ran it. The setup crashed. Then, AFP crashed on my NAS. Rebooting it made things worse. AFP wouldn’t start. Bonjour wouldn’t start. Not long after, SMB wouldn’t start.
Logfiles seemed to indicate that the system’s drive was full. I presume the system is stored on Flash storage in the NAS itself.
I contacted Lacie support. They could only instruct me to reset the unit to factory settings. At least, no data was lost.
I then asked if it could be related in any way to me running a setup file directly from the share, expecting them to tell me there is a known issue when reading a file and writing a lot at the same time or something similar..
Instead, I got this reply:
Tech Support dude.
Makes no sense

It was related to running the .exe file on the drive. The file is proprietary to an OS such as XP, Vista, or Mac OS X. Running the file on a non-conforming OS is going to create severe havoc and other issues. I am glad the reset resolved the issue.
