Alternatively, they might have some kind of national level disaster mitigation strategy that we know nothing about. It's not our place to judge their business strategies as we are not privy to that information.

Well, it is our place, as it is part of determining how and when you do business or what type of business with the country. Having the government behave as a Comcast, for example, means that datacenters and datacenter service companies avoid the country and go to other countries entirely for services. It means that critical support systems and banking goes to another country because needed redundancy and expertise is not available. If you are in IT, then the infrastructure and decisions of a country are very much something you have to consider.

Remember, Linux is not an OS so the question as to "how" to do this can't be answered unless we know which Linux you are considering.

At least you (or him primarily) didn't say GNU/Linux, I'd have puked all over myself

I can't believe you people, Microsoft works hard for that money and... lol I can't even finish this sentence.

While Apple might be non-competitive, that's a normal and completely legal and acceptable business practice. There is no law nor any standard code of ethics that says that you need to promote your competitor's products. There are good reasons to sometimes do so, but that's very different.

Remember that both Microsoft and Google actually have or have had near monopolies in some sectors while Apple never has.

Definitely upgrade.

I agree with the 635 though - I have one, I really like it even though I'm running beta Windows 10 on it and it has issues.. they are beta issues I live with.

Now I'm waiting on the 640 XL

I have the Lumia 1520. Running 8.1. I like it pretty well. I tried the 920 a couple years ago one 8 and hated it because of some of the issues and lack of apps back then. Now all the appps expect my SSL VPN are there. I tried windows 10 on it. I can't do it. I use windows 10 one my laptop and can live with temprory usability issues but I can't live with the design issues of text being outside of bounding boxes etc that windows 10 preview had on the 1520.

Here are some open source packages:

Open Audit hasn't been updated in FOREVER (like since 2007), but it was kinda cool in that the inventory submission occurred via HTTP. I was a big advocate of this before I had moved to Spiceworks.

The latest version was released this month https://community.opmantek.com/display/OA/Release+Notes+for+Open-AudIT+v1.6.4

Ah - I gave up on him, but he's been touting version 2.0 since as long as I can remember...

Have you tried this? No experience firsthand with faxing with FreePBX. Usually I'd recommend Elastix for that. Has built in packages to accommodate faxing. Otherwise, try this:

yum -y install spanDSP libtiff libtiff-devel

@thecreativeone91 True. For an amateur hack such as myself it'll replace PS but not for a pro.

This one was an easy fix, but that the issue exists at all is a fragility unique to FreeNAS that does not exist if you only use FreeBSD:

@scottalanmiller In your country cheaper because your country is developed in many aspects.

@Rob-Dunn maybe my rules are just really basic or something, but they seem to work better in OWA than in Outlook, or at least on parity.

Actually, I should correct myself, I mean 'views' more than rules...I do some stuff with font styles, organization, etc. with the views...something that is not really workable in OWA.

That makes more sense. No views for me. I have lots of server side rules and they, well, rule!

@coliver You would be correct. They can go for as much as a decent used car if you get really silly with the config.

Seems okay here.

I'm anything but a printer expert and have not set up Google Print myself and don't know the caveats. So take it with a grain of salt. But I suspect it is a potential solution to keep in mind.

We have no printer with us most of the year, now. So for us USB will do. But it seems like a nice idea.

T-Mobile has no coverage around here. Even in Blacksburg and Roanoke it is only GPRS/2G and that's the only coverage. It only works if you live in a metro area.

Around here, I'm in a tiny village and I've never had better coverage. I can even go miles into the country. I've done hours of driving all over rural areas and haven't see a drop in coverage yet, which is awesome.

This falls under total Microsoft fail. After a year of telling us that they had moved to Skype internally and then failing to deliver Skype for clients! Microsoft has already admitted that Lync was a failure and that they don't use it themselves anymore because it is so bad. Now, after making a big deal that Skype was the future, they've decided to bail on Skype.

If Microsoft isn't eating their own dog food on this one, I doubt we should either.

This just seems small to me.

I know that's what your girl said to you the other night. Ohhhhhhhhhhh, burn!

I've got plenty packing, thank you very much. Now you on the other hand...

I fab my own circuit boards using a transfer from a regular piece of paper run through a laser printer on extra dark. Might give that a go onto what you want it on ultimately - nuts to the wax paper.
