    It you like PuTTY but want more from it, check out ConEmu. It's a Quake style console emulator that integrates with PuTTY and PowerShell and gives you some slick features. And it is available from the Chocolatey repositories too.

    Who hasn't? It was Nextel Push-to-Talks first and then Blackberries (and of course the lovely BES to manage all the stupid things)

    OMG those were the dumbest things ever. People just didn't understand what an idiotic idea that was. The normal phone was push to talk to, and both cases required the other party to answer. There was no upside. But once you made a call, it was this slow, annoying one person at a time audio that made it horrible to talk. There was no upside and huge downsides. They are a shining example of how easily you can dupe huge swaths of people with marketing even when it is completely clear that you are being fooled.

    Is the bottom portion always the same length in lines? If so, the tail command will do it.

    Id have to confirm but pretty sure. How do you tail 16 lines?

    Tail -16 /location/of/log.log

    That did it. Perfect! Thanks!

    I answered this on Spiceworks already, but for the sake of cross posting since you did, I will say again: get a new drive, lowering quality is always a terrible idea, you can't go from lossy to lossy without destroying quality.

    You did? I don't see the response, unless I'm just not recognizing your handle over there.

    Then you didn't read the content of them.

    I did. But he's Tony over here and Antal? over there...I think.

    Yeah, I got all alias here, so the cops can't stay on my trail.

    MX records - can you have two? How does it sort them out?

    It's common to have more than two. It's very rare that someone would have only one, it takes a lot more infrastructure to only have one and still be reliable. Generally you only see a single MX record with the biggest enterprise services (Office 365) or with test / lab setups where reliability doesn't matter.

    I've Had similar issues. I've found on some Android smartphones turning off the "noise reduction" in the dailer app settings can help. Though it's going to make their calls noisy so I don't find it to be a great solution.

    It's because they share the same subject - there is no other way for an email system to determine that things are the same conversation. There is no "id" field in the emails to otherwise identify them.

    I agree, the message explains everything. The IPMI driver has not been installed yet. They even provide a link for more information.

    That makes sense. For me, I am testing this on my home mac, and I would like to keep the web shield on, but not able to browse when it is on. Opened a ticket on Avast, lets wait for their feedback.

    Surprising here, the Dev3 blew the BigDog away in UnixBench score!

    One of the biggest things people don't know about VMs is that more doesn't always equal better.

    We get all the time where someone throws more processors at a VM but then bitches when their performance sucks ass. The BigDog3 with its 8 procs might be all kewl and stuff, but it doesn't necessarily translate to better performance.

    In this case, more than likely more people are on the BigDog clusters than the Dev. Performance will always come up better when it's not being oversubscribed.

    The CPU is the same between between the BigDog 1 and Dev3 only difference is more ram and 20GB more storage.

    Most things are going to be that good at using multiple cores. I'd rather see higher clock speeds and newer CPUs than what they are using. But it's all very old hardware. works for testing though.

    But it's about doing your own cost-benefit analysis. It's too simplistic to say you should never run legacy applications.

    Of course, there are always times that legacy applications need to be run. But there are limits too. ASP as a platform has been legacy for a decade and a half. That's a long time. It has a pending end date for when it may not be available any longer in any capacity. It presents platform level risk which may prove to not matter, but may prove to be extremely limiting in the future - that's the nature of risk, we don't know what will happen with hardware and software down the road. But it is technical debt building up in a platform that is nearly all of the way through its "trailing off support" timeframe.

    It's fine to have legacy apps. But it is also important to identify when a legacy app is becoming too legacy. In the OP's case, ASP created support and hosting risk in addition to normal concerns. Those were probably types of risk that were not considered in the past. Any business running ASP is constrained if they decide that they want to go hosted, for example. They might not ever decide to do that, but there is technical debt potentially making that decision for them, as well.

    Any ongoing support of an ASP legacy app means that investment is being put into the old system. Maybe that is trivial, maybe it is major. Technical debt is a hidden cost. Money goes into keeping the old system running instead of being implemented in a new system. The effort to support the old could offset the effort to replace it.

    Even Google admits, they don't make enough, or market these for the general public. Something like 80% of the ones they build stay internal to Google. That all being said, I would LOVE to have one. They are not trying to compete with Apple laptops, so you can't really compare them.
