    I'm Using a Nokia Lumia 1520. It's great. I can't say the same for Straight Talk Service (on AT&T) I get full bars on both 4G and LTE but, Straight talk is throttling me even though I just bought a new 30 day plan. I'm thinking of switching to AIO/Cricket on AT&T.

    I should also point out that I attempt to do the news posting when there are lulls in the conversation, otherwise, rather than when things are busy. That way if people are looking for something happening they are more likely to find it. I try to use it to even out the traffic flow a tiny bit. Once it a while it prompts conversations at an odd hour.

    Or, far better, that ReactOS and other projects like Wine could stop trying to rewrite the Windows code and could focus on replacing the components that Microsoft can't release. Piece by piece they could leverage the MS code to make the whole thing free. Much like the BSD projects did long ago to free UNIX from AT&T.

    Well, I think you're just asking for the moon when it comes to a lot of people interested in Windows.

    The Whole MDM concept isn't new to exchange (though it may be to office 365). ActiveSync for exchange has had most of these features. I think they are just promoting it hoping you will want more managment.

    Problem is, he's not giving good reasons for moving on and keeps making crap up. There is a way for him to handle it well, but he isn't doing that. He's basically refusing to listen to reason, refusing to explain to management why what they are doing is bad and/or won't even work and he's instead attacking the people trying most to help him. Basically he's being lazy and foolish. He might have reasons for not telling management the truth, but he's not sharing those or even suggesting that they exist. Instead he makes up reasons like "he's only supposed to fix the one device" which he can't do, so that reason isn't valid. Then he makes up a different, conflicting reason, in another post.

    I agree, there are times to accept that we can't always do the best thing. But this is a case of someone demanding bad advice and just refusing to accept good advice when it is give. It isn't a case where, from anything we can see in the thread, he is limited to only do the wrong thing. He's just being foolish all around (both in his tech and how he presents it to us.)

    And there is no good advice to give. He's already stated that what he wants to do doesn't work. So the one thing he demands he's already ruled out!

    I can attest to what Danielle is saying. I bought my O365 account through NTG and they have helped me with the few issues I've run into along the way. 5 mins here, 10 there no big deal!

    Office 365 Drive Mapping for Enterprise Desktops

    Office 365 Drive Mapping for Enterprise Desktops allows users to utilize folder redirection for SharePoint Online, and it is especially helpful for Windows 7 desktops or higher with no local storage being used in the process. With this tool, you can map drives directly to your Office 365 storage options, such as OneDrive for Business, which is based in SharePoint Online.

    Oooh, this one is pretty cool. I will have to play with it in the future.

    @thecreativeone91 I thought that the HTML5 spec was going to have specific file and codec types specified. Was that dropped?

    No. it just provides a way to present the video. It's up to the browser to support the codec. H.264 is the most common, but even then there are differnt types as it's a GOP codec there's I frames and P frames. where I frames are key frames and P frames are rendered by the computer as inbetween frames at the time of playback using a lot more cpu. All I frames take less cpu usage but are much bigger in size.

    That is odd, to be sure. That really makes Access so much less useful. Which is saying something because it was never very useful.

    How many times can we stress this. Gods, Access needs to die in nuclear fire.

    I've worked on Stratus too!

    When I was at AOL that's what was in use, I don't know what they use now, maybe old tires or something with boards screwed to them.

    If they weren't with timewarner now they'd be using an abacus

    They haven't been with timewarner for years

    I'm not surprised by this. MS didn't want to be completely silent, but at the same time they don't want to release a new Flagship without Windows 10.

    Yeah, those annoying slideshows are big cash grabs. Ten page visits for a tiny article with no content. They cost nothing to make and earn big bucks in ad revenue.

    Windows 8 suffered from the "we know what's best for you and we don't care what you want" mentality, otherwise known as hubris. With Windows 10, I feel like MS listened to customer demands - for example, bringing back the start menu button, and shrinking the Windows 8 start screen down to a less annoying, and user-friendly size, cause let's face it, everything popping up full screen is frustrating, especially when it's not what you're used to - and delivered, at least in the tech preview, a snappy, intuitive, just plain nice to use OS.
