    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! πŸ˜‰

    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.

    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.)

    The USG is an all in wonder device. I hate it.

    But there is a market for it and I absolutely do not blame Ubiquiti for putting stuff out there.

    @Dashrender I've always wondered how expensive the old SGI meeting rooms were to equip.
    Example: link text

    1 MILLLLLLLLion dollars.

    Oh, I guarantee the computer running all that would retail for much more than that! The one I actually saw had 3 12' projection screens, mics at every seat, and 4 control stations in back, all driven by a single Origin 3000. This would have been back in 1999.

    @coliver Yep, already did, and configured.

    But unless he puts an official ticket in, it is not getting turned on.

    And this isn't a matter of "I need this to do my job" its a matter of why the hell is this really needed?

    Are you supposed to be a "blind employee" that no one but internal staff should know about?

    Right now, the payments are made only for the public performance right in the underlying musical composition (otherwise known as the β€œmusical work” – the lyrics and musical notes that make up the song). No royalty is paid by businesses to the copyright holders in the sound recordings under Federal law (but see our concerns about whether certain court rulings may cloud this conclusion when dealing with state laws and pre-1972 sound recordings, and see this article about the Register of the Copyright calling for a more general sound recording performance royalty)

    If the money isn't going to the copyright holders, who is it going to? Are they sure? I thought when paying ASCAP, BMI and SESAC, that those three entities basically are representing most of the music copyright holders.. and were being paid on the back end.

    Warning! Rant Mode On

    Musicians are notoriously bad at reading and understanding contracts. Those companies probably do hold the rights to stream most music, but the artists get jack. Trust me, I've seen the contracts, and told a couple of small hopeful artists that they are getting ripped off. At least the old highway robber barons would let you keep enough that you could turn a profit and provide further business. The big music labels and almost all other content management companies don't even care about getting return business.

    Rant Mode Disengaged

    You would think, with things like Youtube and the internet in general that artists would see this and be able to have a better situation. Hell look at the beave (ug, can't believe I went there).

    I essentially am a freelancer. I'm a 1 man business, and i'm net 30. That being said, flat fee projects are something I do, and when i'm billing a flat fee, usually there is a 1/2 upon starting the project, and 1/2 when deliverables are.... delivered. i've only had a few clients not pay up within their 30 day window.... which for a small guy like myself is not fun.

    Now, this situation you're saddled with seems to not be any fun at all. Sorry you're having bad luck with a "local".

    Local, do what you said you'd do. We all in some way or anothe rhelp each other out on this site. You being all willy nilly makes it harder to trust each other.... so just be legit

    It says you can ignore this error if you're not planning on deploying any RODCs - which I don't, but come on, who likes to see failures in tools they run, even if they can ignore them?

    We had quite the discussion about that just recently πŸ™‚

    Where? Am I just blanking on it, or was I not involved?

    It was mostly with @JaredBusch and ownCloud πŸ™‚

    @Dashrender Interesting. I would try restarting the topology service on my Exchange server to see what happens but there are about 8 other services that are dependent on that. I am going to see if I can get away with doing it tonight or this weekend.

    Nope. But we don't use E series. They don't come with height adjustable stands. We mostly use ultra Sharp series.

    What is it about having to pay $200+ (and realistically more like $300+) for a monitor to have height adjustability?

    Which is why we bought the E-series and harvested the adjustable stands of the E2310H/E2311H models. I think the Dell monitors have that proprietary stand connector, not something universal like VESA but I'd have to check.

    Well, that's not nice. I really, really like the $70 VESA swing arm mount I have at home.

    Not bad, uh but needs some uh well uh public speaking lessons or something.. uh. In general though he does a pretty good job when he does know what he's going to say and I presume he doesn't have much experience with public speaking.

    Also is this the mainframe where there is no precision float point? Or is that another?
