    Have you seen the new price increase on LMI? We've been told it is more than doubling with the next re-up. Ours was going to jump from $1500 to $3700!! All while going from rock solid to unable to stay connected.

    So the service is nothing but the GUI, as expected. 🙂 Thanks for verifying. Nice to know for sure I'm not crazy from time to time.

    Office 365 does provide downgrade rights.

    I haven't seen how you actually use it though.

    As long as the rights exist, I am pretty sure that you just get the installation media from another source (VL, for example) and install that way and either sign into O365 or track the licenses manually. They provide the rights but don't make it easy or encourage it.

    Hmmm... we have an IBM server that does exactly that. Restarts as soon as power is restored. It has been tested fairly regularly as we don't have the best power infrastructure in upstate NY.

    In central NY that is. Here in Frankfort where I am today the power is outstanding and in the Buffalo/Niagara grid it is really good. But outside of local generation pockets, the center of the state is the area where it is roughest.

    It seems that anything "Gamer" related has it installed.
    http://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/B85PRO_GAMER/

    It's generally easy to sell to gamers based on slick marketing and the market's desire for performance above all things often means that they have short memories and don't hold vendors accountable for bad behaviour. So the risks to Asus are low, in a year no gamer will care and Asus can do this again. One of the many risks of dealing with consumer grade equipment.

    Found it.
    First run the iptables entry
    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to xxx.xx.xx.xx

    Then run sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent, and follow the prompts. When it asks to save the current rules, hit "Yes" at both prompts. Now, on reboots, your iptables rules will be restored.
    All done, working fine! 🙂

    There has been talk about using a chat function at my office in the past, but in the same breath it was mentioned how catty all the women there (by the boss, who is a woman) and pretty much dismissed.

    Furthermore, our EHR recently enabled global chat as well, so we'd probably use that instead.

    Exactly, how do you know you were hacked? Unencrypted Kerberos packets can be used in an offline attack to crack a password, but if you're using a strong enough password this would take to long.

    So first things first, I'd say use a better password, but if you're still worried about it, do as @scottalanmiller suggests and upgrade and encrypt your authentication traffic.

    We've also had really good luck with Jabra Pro stuff. Any of their lower lines I avoid like the plague, but the Pro stuff is great. As much as I like Plantronics, I would actually rate Jabra Pro higher than Plantronics for functionality and ease of use in an office environment.

    Downvote! Then again, I'm the PLT fanboy, so what can I say?

    Where I think there is the most confusion is in the differences between PaaS, IaaS and SaaS.

    We used to use the acronym CaaS with big red V. We always rocked the CaaS box. Rocked the CaaS box.

    That value isn't a .NET date/time value so Get-Date won't be able to process it properly (hence the year 0415). So I tried this: http://superuser.com/questions/398983/how-do-i-decode-the-faulting-application-start-time-in-a-windows-event-log-ent

    (get-date "01/01/1601").AddSeconds(0x01d0b26dc6a4a844 / 10E+6)

    Sigh, and I thought consumer wise at least Samnsung was as good as HP and Dell.

    First rule of buying computers, avoid consumer.

    Sure, I guess I was giving them to much credit because there are no business class phones or TVs, two places they make a pretty decent product in.
