Yes, definitely a joke. Also a joke with irony because Winodws 10 actually finally dropped native drivers for floppy drives. You can still use them if for some reason you needed to but you need to install drivers separately.
I can never tell jokes anymore since I've worked in IT for 10 years.
What you immediately would think of as a joke is 100% serious for someone.
I've learned it's better to look dumb for not getting a joke than to assume something is a joke and have someone get offended because you aren't taking them seriously.
While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.

Man... one of our 3 web development guys, who are our java gurus, put in his 2 weeks today. He's someone who critically helped me with development of pieces for Oracle's stuff, and maintains some of our arcane interactions for budgeting.
This is gonna SUCK. Even more than losing all our other folks.
a whole load of traffic rides over l3...if they're having a major problem (and their twitter feed says the problem is impacting "North American Customers"), a lot of what you're seeing could be related to whatever they've got going on.
I'm about to punch my screen. Does anyone have any good solutions to moving folders in SharePoint 2013? Everything says to use Explorer View, but it keeps saying that my client does not support that view. I've worked with multiple workarounds that people swear work but none do. This is totally insane that there isn't a simple way to do this.
EDIT: *sigh* I'm not 100% on this, but apparently the Explorer View is not compatible with IE 10+. I had to jump onto a server with IE9 in order to do this. There has to be something else going on, because that's just fucking stupid.

Hah! Wonderful thing to happen the week our cloud-based ticketing system goes live... wonderful timing.
Edit: LE_Goat, can you path to your Sharepoint spaces using Windows Explorer? That's what I typically do, though I have heard nothing but bad about folders.

I believe you, but my only serious interactions with it were back in 2005. A very large commercial roofing company was using it in ways I am 100% sure it should not have been used in. They had an incredibly complex auditing app implemented entirely in notes and were having problems with it. The pinkish-peachish color they chose for the background of that app still makes me want to drive icepicks through someone's knees.

Yeah, I started here in 2005, and took over Notes admin in 2007. I initially thought like everyone else did, but I would much rather be administering this than two clusters for Exchange and Sharepoint. It takes up a very small amount of my time, and since user mail DBs are totally segregated from each other, the worst that happens is on user's mail file getting corrupt. My largest user mail file is around 22GB, with no corruption or slowdown issues.
The thing about Notes (well, Domino) is that it is a DB platform first and an email platform second. The reason you see a lot of bad design in DBs is that it is easy to design a DB; you basically create a form and it creates the DB schema for you. This leads to people designing a DB who have no business programming. I have had to redesign a few DBs that the previous admin had created. For someone like me (with a programming background) it is really easy to create something pretty advanced quickly. My most recent DB checks our personnel system daily and creates me all of the files I need in order to create a user in Notes and in AD, and emails the appropriate people that need to know about the new user. It took a 30-40 minute process down to about 3 minutes. Pretty proud of that one.
We had a migration in the budget recently at like 3 years out that we kept pushing back, but out Treasurer told us to cancel it, since we're too short-staffed to actually do it. I'm looking at migrating to some sort of hosted thing just a bit further out in case our parent company tries to force it.

can you not just run IE10 in compatibility mode?
It doesn't work in IE10 either. That's how shitty the whole thing is. From what I've found, you have to use IE9 or earlier. Thank the gods I have some 2008 servers left; 2008 R2 uses IE11 while the first 2008 can only use IE9.
EDIT: I just re-read what you wrote. We don't have a single system with IE10 installed. It's IE 11 for Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 or IE9 for Server 2008. We opted to push out the latest version because I believe early next year is when MS is going to force all copies of Windows to only have the latest version of IE for their OS. Starting early and forcing compatibility changes earlier this year made more sense than a mad dash when we had to.

Windows 8 had a floppy install as well, and it was 3,711 disks.
2,079 is a breath of fresh air for a floppy installer.
I assumed it was a joke
