They thought a kid brought a bomb to school so... they arrested the kid without evacuating the school. If I were any other student or a parent of a student at that school, I would be horrified to know that the school won't do anything to actually protect anyone in the event of a bomb threat - just punish who they think is responsible.

I've heard of this before... The "logic" is that you detain the suspect so they won't be caught in with the evacuating crowd which, if they blew the bomb up then, would result in more casualties. Of course you are supposed to evacuate the building and sweep for bombs afterward as well.

Not for nothing, and I'm not one to judge others.

But I would not want this troll on top of me. Even if I was the last man on earth.

If you were the last man on Earth, you would have your choice of the ladies.... now, if she were the last woman on Earth, the species may be doomed.

Following, just because I can 😛

P.S we will be the Shifting admin in ML during Spiceworld haha

We'll have our own GMT +8 Party... by ourselves... in our respective hemispheres... This isn't sounding anywhere near as much fun as when I first thought of it.

haha we should be posting our own party too! Your party in your own hemisphere and party on my own 😬

It is not their first change, nor likely the last.

I like refurbed in most cases. It feels nice to get new, but saving money makes up for that feeling.

Thanks. Good find.

But businesses do this all the time.

Businesses have IT departments who understand the risk, the factors involved, etc. They know that holding back on Windows 7 brings risk and limitations. They know how to buy new systems to ensure how they want to install works properly. This is just normal work for them.

"It's better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and prove everyone right."

awww - you're stuck in the interface of the Nexus Player. Assuming you can use other Android apps once you get the Amazon app installed (there's an HBO app too, though I'm guess you're blocked from getting it?) you just launch that app and pick your movies.

This IS customer service and nothing else.

You have an odd idea of what's included in customer service. That is business management not customer service. If you are going to count that as customer service then literally every aspect of any business would be customer service.

All of the aspects that are service to the customer, yes.

I don't see how that is odd. If good service for customers isn't part of customer service, what is?

Now if only my local retailers (grocers) would carry these would I not feel bad about having to decline giving a homeless person money.

Once before though (and not directly to me) a homeless man asked a women for cash, she handed him food and he went on a rampage saying"B**** I asked for money not food! etc"

So there's that....

I once had a guy on the street ask for money for pot. So I gave him $20. Figured if he was being honest he deserved it.

Should I start a thread asking for a server? 😉
lol

..... for pot?

What good is pot going to do on a server?

We use Azure's imaging system to keep a system image.

Isn't that costly?

It's free, just part of the platform.

I hate it, but then I bought some Lenovo gear and found that even more horrible, so I'm back to HP. Better the devil you know, I guess.

True but at least with Lenovo, they bundle the Malware & root kits with the UEFI so you don't have to go to the trouble of finding them for yourself. TAKE THAT HP!!!.... wait, what?

Good plan, for sure, but I think the point of fooling netflix is to get the selections from other countries not available in your home country.

True, but for my 5 and 7 yo children as long as they can watch US Netflix shows from Japan which does not have ANY Netflix access yet, then it is good enough.

I have witnessed installation of such cable first hand many times. It happened a lot in the past, before 1Gbit became affordable, and customer wouldn't want to run another cable. My co-worker used to love these kind of "hacks", and it worked without any issues at 100Mbit. He even did poor man's POE over similar setup - power plugs/jack on both ends of the cable.

Q: I think my phone was stolen, can you track that?
A: No, no we can't track it, if we were tracking your phone you'd sue the crap out of us. . .

Correct Answer: Yes, it is a company owned device we have MDM software on it and I can tell it was last at X.

I say that because:

Does anyone else manage the cellphone plans and hardware for the employers?

That sounds like employer owned devices, not BYOD. BYOD is different.

Unfortunately, we'd have to have a very clear and strict Cell Phone Policy that has a clause for phone tracking. Which we have a phone policy but upper management didn't want, nor I to get involved with tracking phones. As it could get very messy, very quickly.

And I don't know about NYS law and tracking phones, even company provided ones.

Pretty sure you can just track it. If you are concerned with tracking company owned phones, do you fear tracking laptops too? If not, what's the difference?

So did you buy a few lottery tickets?
