lol y is that

You put on a front like "I are hillbilly with 500 old cars in driveway and don't know how to type correctly" but in reality are smart gai with crafty ideas.

[shootermcgavin003]

i do have a bunch old cars and cant type for shit though (i can type if im not doing 50 things). however i am good with computers and anything mechanical. however i choose to have the old cars.

Fucking Powersmell. Does anyone know this shit? I have a script that's worked fine since 2009 to import users from a CSV. Now when I run it, it says the array is null.

# Create new accounts from CSV file
param($file = $args[0],
	$LogFile = 'c:\utils\students\Students2009.log'
)

[array]$csv = import-csv $file

# This script implies that columns "Name" and "ParentContainer" exist in the csv file
if (($csv[0].Name -eq $null) -or ($csv[0].ParentContainer -eq $null)  ) {throw "Parameter missing... Make sure the CSV file has at least the following columns: Name, ParentContainer."}

Output:

Cannot index into a null array.
At C:\utils\students\import-ad-users.ps1:8 char:11
+ if (($csv[ <<<< 0].Name -eq $null) -or ($csv[0].ParentContainer -eq $null)  ) {throw "Parameter missing... Make sure

and the file you're feeding it isn't empty and is formatted right?

idk if that would even throw that error... haven't messed with powersmell

[theholycow]

What the motherfucking fuck, I was fucking around and got it to work...

[shootermcgavin003]

never fooled with it

[theholycow]

Found the problem...boss used his Mac to make the CSV and the CR/LF situation was all fucked up.

[stonehenge]

Yeah we've had problems with that in the past. Windows and Unix/OSX aren't always friendly with their formatting, even when it seems like a simple basic-format file. fgtry

Student brought in laptop, wouldn't boot, no display, wouldn't even flash the screen, even if I plug in an external screen. Opened it up and saw this:


I thought it was missing its video card and wondered if this was some kind of trick to blame me for it.

Don't know what that is, probably some kind of wireless communications card, but after removing the BIOS battery to clear BIOS, it works fine.

Just realized dude has an Apple sticker on top of the Dell logo.

[stonehenge]

Dell StudioBook Pro Air?

not positive but i think those are wireless antennas, they just fell out of that little channel they are supposed to be tucked into

[theholycow]

There's also the matter of the card slot that's not filled, there would be a card on top of that black plastic stuff.

[stonehenge]

Ah, I thought the plastic was covering the card. So I guess that's a model w/o wifi?

[theholycow]

Wifi card is the little one to the left of the blank spot, with the black and white antenna wires going to it.

There is a SIM card slot in the battery compartment. I think the missing card here is a mobile data card.

[stonehenge]

it's obviously missing the card that allowed it to connect to wireless Pans. How else can you cook stuffs w/o fgt wires

[theholycow]

PAN = Pen0r Area Network?

[stonehenge]

could be so that is a non-ghey male laptop that doesn't need to interface w/ any pen0rs in the area

but shouldn't there be some sort of vag area network card?
