Fonts should never come as an .exe - if they do run away.

They come as native font files, you then install them based on the OS, either Mac or Windows does this easily

thanks, fixed.

Very nice.

Let's not get too technical.. My real question is the ability to expand/shrink on the fly/VM stay online. I know for a fact that Gen1 cannot do that.. thus the question about conversion.

But do you have teh space for two copies during the operation? That's a key piece of why it is important.

Good question... we are 60% of the disk at the moment... so that would be no. The space inside VM it self is 50% full.. Say 2TB disk space on hypervisor. the VM is uing 1.2TB. But the OS/Files is using only 600GB out of 1.2TB.
If the cloning means 100% identical then I will not have enough space. But if there is a way to shrink while cloning then it is a viable option.

This also means you're using thick provisioning.

Perhaps you can copy the current VM disk to another VM disk, but one that is thin provisioned. Then it will only take up 600 GB on the disk, leaving you with 2 GB free space until you delete the old VM disk.

We've been expansionist for a long time. The war of 1812 was the result in part of US Expansion.

Are you sure? The Second War of Independence was a defensive war. We had the population being taken for slaves, that wasn't going to stand (strangely.)

I always thought that was small part of it. The bigger parts, from my reading, was the US expansion westward, which resulted in fighting from British supported Native American tribes, and the trade embargoes setup by the British Empire on US interests in Europe.

Hard to say 201 years later, but that always seems to have been a very minor factor.

Though MS I'm sure has been gun shy to include these types of services for fear of being called a monopoly like in the 90's.

Quality does not get them in trouble for anti-trust.

No, including options so no other options are needed does - i.e. IE. How does including a PDF reader not make them act just like they were when IE was bundled in (oh I mean like now :P) Notice how they aren't gunshy anymore... they now have a built in PDF reader.

The bit we were discussing was the need for one to be locked down while the other does not.

@BBigford It does everything automatically, via GPO, not really one at a time. LAPS prevents each local admin from having the same password. Obviously, if you want everything to be the same then you wouldn't want to use it.

EDIT: You can still use the bat file (mentioned above) if you want to create a specific user with a specific password and assign it to the local admins group. Keep in mind that it is plain text, as was the method you were previously using.

@johnhooks The difference is 6 compared to a half dozen (at least in this case.)

I used to know a reason why you would use less or more in certain cases, but it's been so long that I no longer remember what caused a difference.

I know of no case where you use more. I always used it because I learned it first, but less is the only one you would actually want to use.

With all of the tack on options.. E3 really is where MS wants everyone. ug!

@scottalanmiller
None of that was covered, though. No amount of Windows, AD or SMB covers that. Only NTFS ACLs provide that. You can do with with actual NTFS or you can do it with Linux VFS and an NTFS ACL layer. Either way, works the same. But the only device that can give you ACLs is the device providing SMB. So the Synology NAS in the example.

Understood! Thank you sir.

Finally decided what to use. Going to have my dad setup Flickr albums for his project.

Latency ranges from <1ms to 4ms, each way.

Most of this "wrong usage" of my e-mail comes into play with my Clutter (a feature which I like) and Junk folders.

Just a quick (even quicker) look through them to make sure nothing important filtered in.

I played with x10 equipment back in the day and it worked for me. I haven't used the cameras, but you can setup a motion sensor outside that turns on a light inside, and even turn on a few a few seconds appart like someone is moving through the house. It was reliable, affordable, and kinda fun to setup.

How very "Home Alone" of you 🙂

We had all of our network gear in our College apartment on a trigger with a switch at everyones desk. That way we could reboot the 802.11b router every 2 hours with out standing up. 😉

Comodo provides them

Hi @Jason. Thanks for your note. I do not seem to see how I can get one for free. I am browsing their site and see that in the Free SSL section they only appear to provide 90 days 'free' for SSL certificates, no mention of S/MIME anywhere...

https://secure.instantssl.com/products/frontpage?area=SecureEmailCertificate&currency=USD&region=North+America&country=US

Really curious about how you found that 😉 on their website.

Assembly programs give me nightmares, lol.

I had an assembly language class in college. While I don't really enjoy it, I very much appreciate someone who does. Just... not.... this. It's a itty bitty little package of evil.

This isn't meant to be offensive, but I've never met anyone who liked Assembly who was not at least border-line autistic. I think it's because it takes a certain type of mind or memory in order to deal with in an extended way and enjoy it. I can deal with it, but I don't really enjoy it. For smaller programs I'd rather use C and strip everything down... still won't be as small, but certainly better than any extra high level language.

I love it when people port garbage to other platforms

It's all racked, I hear. Can't wait till we get it all fired up!

The "working data" that I mentioned that scrolls by quickly before our summary chart appears from this example looks like the below output. Generally we can ignore this, but it can be useful should there be an error to see where something has gone wrong.

What GPU does that have?

It is a custom GPU along the lines of a Nvidia GeForce 860M. So it isn't a gamers dream, but that said, I CAN game and game well on the go. I've not loaded GeForce Experience on it since this is a custom GPU and before the last firmware update, there were many unstable issues with both the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4.

I've played ALIEN: Isolation with details maxed but but a much lower resolution. Video Rendering speeds with Adobe Premiere have been quite impressive.

Does it have dedicated vram or does it sneak around like a thief in the night, hungry for some delicious ram

It has 1GB of dedicated, GDDR5 video RAM.

That is the only reason we got them. Sales wanted Surface Pro 4's, but lacked the video to support certain services. Got Surface Books and they faired a little better. Keep in mind, $350 of the cost is going into the keyboard whereas I think the Surface Pro 4 keyboards are a bit cheaper so the price difference is something to consider. If you don't need the VRAM, the Surface book isn't a much better device in my trials. The kickstand on the Surface Pro 4 (without the keyboard attached) essentially turns the Surface Book into using the keyboard as a flexible stand. I prefer the kick stand but using either device on your lap, I prefer the Book.
