Is this trial software?

I liked Office 2010 a lot. Office 2013, not so much. It's fine, but not great. But I know that it is just a first step on their road to pure JavaScript in a browser, so I appreciate the technology that it is enabling.

I think they took a photo of my butt for this.

I just added this server as a trusted site in IE and it worked

Yeah, we're trying to take a more holistic approach to security. Whether virus, malware or phishing, we're trying to be the one-stop place for security reputation for processes, IP address and URLs.

Not much call for AC yet.

Blame the British then 😉

I was thinking more about controlling rules in Exchange. If HR need to be involved to get something enforced then I may as well forget it.

Then why the concern? If management and HR think it doesn't matter then it should definitely not concern you. Not IT's place to make those kinds if calls.

@Carnival-Boy in that particular case, I would guess that that was an accident. Service providers and vendors do have to be careful as their accident "blast radius" is often larger than in house IT is. But to be fair, we see internal IT people accidentally post rather a bit of stuff when looking for help online or using KB systems that are hosted publicly or whatever.

Publishing tickets without an air gap process, though, that is pretty idiotic I must admit.

I've been using Clonezilla for 4+ years.. it's easy and fast. it has some caveats, but you can read about the requirements if you're doing anything more than restoring to the same (or same size) disk as you started with.

We are about to subject a non-tech user to their first time seeing Windows since Windows 2000 and it will be 8.1. This will be exciting.

You sir, have an interesting view of excitement!! 😉

Cool, thanks.

I'd only buy telecoms from a telecoms company. Best of luck to them with their all-encompassing we'll sell you anything approach but I fear it may not work to well for the customer when they need help. Call me skeptical.

That would be two guides for one test. Each number, in this case 70-410 refers to a single test that results in a single certification.

For that much you can pick up a card which should crank out lower end titles at extremely playable framerates with all graphics settings maxed out. I would recommend jumping up to the $200 price bracket, but if on a fixed budget, you can pick up a Radeon HD 7790 or a 7770. I've had experience with both, and I've gotten the 7770 to push 37 FPS on Battlefield 4 on Ultra settings at 1280 x 1024, but a sad 28 FPS at 1920 x 1080. The 7790 is on slightly faster on paper, but is better optimized for modern titles. If you were looking to spend a bit more, I would recommend an EVGA GTX 660 SC at $209, which will run anything but the most demanding games at Ultra settings around 60 FPS in 1920 x 1080P. If you want any further recommendations over price, brand, specific types of Video Plugins, Video Encoding/Decoding, or Chipsets, go ahead and ask!
