I like discounts, and if @Nic notices this and gives all ML users discount, why not ? 😉

Anyways, i won't lose the joy of using xen as i just upgraded my home server xen and added XO 🙂

Good stuff.

This is the important bit

function getSiteStatus (url) { var siteStatus = -1; try { var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, { muteHttpExceptions: true, validateHttpsCertificates: false, followRedirects: true }); siteStatus = response.getResponseCode() === 200 ? 200 : -1; } catch(e) {} return siteStatus; }

If you've got Xen working, why still have a second boot option instead of running it in a VM?

I mean, I can understand wanting to experiment, but that's just odd.

As mentioned earlier, this is fine with me, started working on the Xen, but just wondering how this worked earlier and why is it not working now. @Mohammed-Fota i will try the bios update as well.

@nadnerB Thank God i could remote it and do the things required, otherwise would be driving a bit far to do this! 🙂 Thanks to screenconnect, i was actually evaluating screenconnect as my go to tool for remote support, one thing i noticed is few windows message screenconnect didn't allow me to click ok to proceed, at that time it just shows that i am connected but not the guest. Used Teamviewer free for that to complete that action, so i have second thoughts about screenconnect!

When ScreenConnect is running as an admin process, you can click everything.

So going to use postbox for now, installed on my MAC as well, works fine, can extend features with addons. seems like some of thunderbird/mozilla plugins can be used with postbox. https://www.postbox-inc.com/add-ons

Well that worked out well!

Yes, year end seems to be very good! Macbook Pro got serviced for FREE, this desktop fixed for a very cheap price and got the Surface Pro4, hope this is a sign for very good start for 2016! 🙂 Touch wood! 🙂

We as partners were told it was going to stop being unlimited.

Wow.. just WOW!

Is it a good practice to have a firewall first between internet and WFE servers and then between WFE and Application Servers? I am looking for a design diagram for such a setup

Depends on your needs. For a small setup, probably unnecessary. For compliance, potentially required.

We use firewalls against every single device on our network at the VM level. Communication in and out is always monitored and we have procedures on allowing traffic through. This provides compliance and proper lockdown between machines.

Don't think of the firewall as another device. If you have a single device, additional subnets with it inspecting the traffic is sufficient.

Yeah, surprisingly there appear to be many companies using Skype for normal employees now. It works surprisingly well.

What I want to know is how do you transfer a call? I suppose you could conference in someone, then simply drop out.

But I ask - where are you seeing this Skype in Business use? in those California Startups you mentioned in the other thread?

Lots of modern companies don't use a receptionist. Once you go to Skype, people contact by name, not by "company."

We see it all over. California is where I've worked for companies that use it. But it was the northeast where I kept saying it was useless and I kept being told that tons of customers used and required it.

I can report some off and on Bluetooth issues on a Thinkpad from the Lenovo outlet. No wifi issues for me, but after resuming from hibernate I often have to uninstall the monitor to be able to adjust the brightness at all.

The price was pretty right. But yeah that was before Superfish etc. too. I put in more memory and an ssd, reinstalled Windows fresh and we'll see if anything catastrophic keeps it from holding me over for a while.

The display isn't too hot though, and makes me want one of those 1080 Toshiba Chromebooks for some browsing (and playing with Crouton).

@original_anvil I do like those skull shot glasses.

But I'd be more afraid of damaging it just using them.

Pretty awesome little piece.

no reason to. They are pretty solid glasses.

I can confirm that for sure - I`ve got one that felt down on the wooden floor 2-3 feets high without any consequences

We use Zoho Cliq's guest chat for that.

Hmmmm.... https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/zoho-cliq/cliq-user-guide/cliq-chats/group-chat/articles/

I can't get that link to work...

If you wanted to know more about guest chat, go here:
https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/zoho-cliq/cliq-user-guide/cliq-chats/cliq-chat/articles/what-is-a-guest-chat

Zoho Cliq is slightly confusing though because external users and guest users are completely different things.

External users are Zoho Cliq users belonging to another organization. So external to your organization. Anyone can sign up though. So if you invite an external user that doesn't have Zoho Cliq, he will receive an invitation to sign up.

Guest users are non-Zoho Cliq users (that haven't signed up for a Zoho account). If you invite a guest users, they will not receive an invitation to sign up, they will receive a login link so they can chat with you.

Yeah, we use those features. It's nice.

I use Pantheon for all of my site building and I have two sites hosted there. It's a great service.

I can see a case for DC OEM, the price difference between OEM and VL is only $1300ish... prob not enough to justify losing the VL benefits.

Not even that much of a difference with our EA.

You're an outside case here, very few of us besides you are large enough to consider let alone have an EA.

Although to consider the DC OEM useful, you'd need to be pretty large in most cases.
