So you just deleted Firefox and are now trying to run it? I have no idea what you are trying to do. What are you trying to do here?

We've established he has NO idea what he's doing...

ZING!

If you are uncertain, http://urlquery.net can be helpful.

It will report on what happens when you go to a particular URL.
It can even give you a preview (sometimes) of the page.

Powering it off until I can spend the time to secure it

Just leave it on, and post the IP here. Someone will be nice and secure it for you 😉

Thanks for the offer. 😄 That'll speed things up heaps!
The IP is 127.0.0.1

Yep an actual picture for the repair.. even though it's used all over the internet

If you look closely off the screen you can see the 10 car pileup that caused it!

@MattSpeller said:

How does that compare to other systems for those of us unfamiliar with that bench?

There are ServerBear results for the old Dev1, Dev3 and BigDog products, I think. All of which are, of course, gone now. It does appear, at first glance, to be generally better than the old Dev1. But it has higher specs too.

If this was a "pro" upgrade you'd think they'd disabled passwords and generate ssh keys for you.

But it is the "Pro" downgrade. You'd think they'd just lock the VMs so that you could never get it. Saving you time from trying.

It's just delaying lawsuits from those who think their may still be some hope in their con.

But they upgraded to more SSD storage over the weekend lol.

Cloudatcost is still growing. unfortunately we have been having quite a few growing pains recently. We are learning from these outages and making sure we implement the solutions needed to keep growing.

That's obliviously not true. Unless you mean your company bank account is growing more into the red by the hour.

Growing in absolute terms.

Hey everybody,

There is currently a big backlog for building servers, This is directly related to providing the Cloud Pro product for free as a response to our service outage. The backlog is expected to be caught up in 3 hours.

"free" to CloudatCost means "giving you something that you paid for, but not exactly making you pay again, but not giving it to you either."

Rebuild issues and returned and almost no one can build VMs anymore.

For months my boss has been having a weird issue where certain parts of her screen would pull in ghost images of the windows behind the primary window. The only way to get it to go away was to close all of the windows and relaunch.

Well today she noticed just before it happened that she got the up/down arrow that one gets when clicking the scroll wheel (though she never understood why she was getting it).

Just after seeing that icon and then scrolling (which was her goal, scroll through an Excel spreadsheet) her screen went crazy.

She decided to try cntrl + Z (undo) and the problem went away. Clearly something weird is going on when she click scrolls.

I asked her if she always 'clicks' while scrolling and she said yes. I asked her to stop clicking and instead be feather light on the scroll wheel and see if the problem goes away.

This is the second time a person has had an issue in the last 2 years with click scrolling - I guess it's just not obvious enough that clicking is it's own thing, and scrolling is a separate action.

Time for some training.

I don't train any longer - I'm not sure if anyone does to be honest.

My understanding was that the program was shut down. But maybe there is a small, lingering component still left.

I giggled a little because this thread reminds me of:

Catchphrases You Forgot Monty Python Invented.jpg

Well, actually the whole scene

@Dashrender Well that is to be expected...always some sort of weird Outlook stuff like that. I've had this issue in the past, good to know about the single click vs double click for this issue. Hopefully Outlook 2016 will address this, but not holding my breath!

@thecreativeone91 The main issue/the point which force me to choose a mac is the fact that we have several users who work keynote files for presentation rather than PPT and needs to be shared during the Skype call. If it was for just skype call, I would like to get Logitech TV Cam HD which I am planning to get for our mini conference rooms, that only needs Skype for video/voice calls and no presentations.

What app store are you looking in? https://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store

The one on the phone. Worst feature of the phone. You search for a common app that you want and you get scores of results of malware, all with the exact name of the product and/or company that you were looking for.

I've never had that happen. and I've had a few different windows phones.

We had a few. But there is only one store. It was very much a "CloudatCost" level of service. Looked good till you actually search for an app then realized you had no assurance of which one was real. It made me appreciate the lock down of the iOS system that someone was vetting the vendors and at least attempting to ensure that products weren't trying to trick you.

Biggest ones were things like the Chrome browser. Search for it and it didn't exist, but hundreds of things called that did.

They've been advertising the CloudPro option for a while now, so I suspect it was functional at some point.

They've been SELLING CloudatCost for a long time and just this morning announced that it was never production ready. So that something has been advertised by them does not suggest that they were planning on it working.
