There is no promise to job but if the training goes well means the selection process will begin if not i need to search a new job after 45 days.

Then yeah, I agree with the others that it sounds like a bad scam, and sounds like you might get screwed over...

It's nothing but a sales tactic for a training class.

It's a very nice accounting system and has unlimited users too, so a big deal for a growing company.

They should've fixed problems with sh/bash/etc syntax instead of creating a bunch of new problems with some other disaster.

My guess is that with BASH available, PS will die off. I don't see any purpose to it other than filling a gap in the platform before. Even with PS they were struggling to be where Linux was there in the mid 1990s.

@Dashrender Good Question but need to troubleshoot without any access.Needs to coordinate with any team to proceed further/.;.

Access is permission. If you don't have permission to work on the issue, it's not your issue. Just open a ticket or whatever and pass it on to the right people.

Just make a new partition, don't worry about extending the existing one.

Yep, I was using watch.

As Dustin mentioned - just don't have any local data, then you have no worries. It would be awesome if you could just use somethign like a Chromebook. all web all the time.

Yeah, this is often a very good way to go.

The last time I had someone travel to the country that my people are going to be working from they were unable to access their OpenVPN connection. When I researched the solution, using stunnel to obfuscate the traffic is what I found. I implemented it and it worked.

That's weird as OpenVPN already obfuscates the traffic identically. You must be using different settings for them, like using stunnel on common ports and OpenVPN on uncommon. But the two are literally identical on the wire, there is no way to identify one from the other, their obfuscation is exactly the same.

I agree, and I have found articles like this one, that seem to think they can detect patterns in the traffic that identify it as being associated with a VPN connection: http://www.vpnanswers.com/bypass-great-firewall-hide-openvpn-in-china-2015/

Yes, traffic patterns can certainly identify VPNs. However, that's based on the traffic inside the tunnel and not the VPN itself. And the real question is... what are they detecting? They know it is a VPN, they can see the SSL. That it is a VPN isn't hidden.

SharePoint's wiki system works great.

Is this how you handle password storage as well?

For a lot of things, yes. Sharepoint has a bit of security so for many password storage tasks this works great since the wiki contents are secured to just the resources that need them.

So you just lock the security permissions down to specific users on specific pages, correct?

Correct. And our wikis are done by department or team. So if a team needs resources, it would be in their wiki. We don't share very many passwords, so this isn't a major issue. The best course of action is to reduce the need for shared passwords as much as possible.

I just found this tool
http://www.robotronic.de/runasspcEn.html

It does work as advertised - it will launch a file that is set via compatibility mode with Admin rights. The UAC prompt still kicks, but that's tolerable.

To me.

A Backup is a read only copy that can not be alterted.. Otherwise it's living data, And you can not verify the data has not changed/added or removed since the backup was taken.

We tested the EliteBooks.. Didn't like them that well.

I personally owned a HP Pro x2 612 G1. It was interesting but it had a lot of issues.

What didn't you like about the Elitebooks (did you test these new low power ones, or just the "standard" form factor Elitebooks that have been around a while)? We've had some of the Elitebook 2560s, etc. Just standard laptops with good specs. I don't care for the driver support when it comes to WDS, but any laptop seems to be tricky since drivers are so particular with laptops.

Have you tried the M series processors yet? If so, how'd they do for you?

We have some of the Skylake CPUs I believe but not in the HPs we tested. They were fine. We don't worry about them that much..

Elitebooks we tried where a mixture of standard and ultrabooks. The quality wasn't there for us they would not hold up in our environment. The Docks for them are slated to be discounited in favor of USB 3.0 only so that was a major factor too.

Oh I know it's from foxconn. But the hardware testing that they put into the components is what makes it run well.

Not who makes the hardware.

This is easy. Start going to a Sikh temple and tell them that your beard is a part of your religion. Argument over.

That was one of my suggestions, except you don't even have to go to the temple, who is going to check? And hey, I said the same thing and you got two points and I got one? It's just a damn popularity contest with you people! 😉

Sorry I didn't read all the posts!

Most of mine don't give away either, they sell, granted for next to nothing, but it's still sold.

or it's off to the recycler.

Try ShareX it's a great tool for screen captures, snipping etc.

that place sounds exactly like Drop Box, only a little smaller. I visited Drop Box last year.. glass conference rooms, open floor plan, almost no cubicals, everyone wearing headphones.

free lunch/drinks/snacks everyday... etc.

Headphones are the new cubicles.

Man, yeah - I'm wondering is this dog is just to old for that.

I'm happy with having my own office. I don't even like cubicals, I get distracted too much.

That's why people like them. Cubicles are the "go to" for people looking to talk to friends at the office and have a solid excuse for why they did no work.

I'll actually agree with that. Having an actual office, even if it's no bigger than a cubical, with a door is definitely helpful in my ability to concentrate.

Yeah, I'm totally useless with cubicles or an open plan. If I hear people talking, I can't think. And cubicle plans means that someone is always talking about gambling or sports. Always. It never ends.

You can also block it at the SIP level with your provider. Do that along with international dialing, save yourself some headache.

If the SIP provider offers this, definitely. Using a route to do it stops your extensions (if compromised) from using them. Blocking them at the SIP carrier stops your PBX if compromised from calling them.

Neither stops you if the SIP provider is the one making the calls (looking at you, Megapath.)
