One would hop that they would only not provide new patches. Not actively block them from the platform. I would expect MS Office to keep getting update. For example.

Office? I guess you mean Office 2007 or newer since Office 2003 was EOL'ed with XP. To that end, I agree, Office 2007 updates should definitely run on XP or there should be hell to pay. But since you can't get support for XP any longer I could see MS saying - if it doesn't work, we're sorry we can't help you until you are on a supported base platform as XP is no longer considered a supported platform for Office 2007 or 2010.

All I can say is that they are still deploying an ActiveX module that digitally signed (and now expired) in 2010. Presumably that means the module hasn't been updated since then.
Frankly it's embarrassing for them to have to require client to disable security to allow these expired packages to be installed.

If that's the case, does that give them a tiny bit of leeway in the browser compatibility arena?

My last company's billing software used these same ActiveX controls that required your security on IE to be disabled to be installed, flaky install still at best after you jumped through all the hoops.

God was that a nightmare..

Errr. Foxit.

The big losers are the SAN vendor and their salesperson who stand to lose tens or hundreds of thousands by the "counter consult".

All I know is the big V's cloud isn't as cheap, but it's considerably more advanced and robust than all the others. Plus our bandwidth is top notch. Rackspace uses cheaper bandwidth.

We spin you up right.

Plus one for ZenDesk. I just setup a Zap to add tickets to my Google Calendar, pretty cool.

I do remember how much faster it was to download, ah...Napster...yeah...I even downloaded movies back and my wife and I watched the 17" screen while in bed. As consumers we were considered pretty techie by others with their smaller screens, slower PCs and dial-up.

@NetworkNerd said: You can actually link your personal account to your Enterprise account in the event you wanted to do it as a way to separate work from personal but have them all in one spot. I've not done it but know you can.

This is good to know.

There is a new article set to come out a week from Monday as well.

The biggest problem I have ever had is manually setting the controller ip / host name in an access point after moving the controller to another machine for one reason or another. But I am with @JaredBusch in that I still love their equipment.

The simple trick to this is to use a DNS entry. All the UniFi AP have a hard coded DNS name they attempt to contact for the controller if the IP they have from last contact does not work.
The not simple but still easy way is to SSH in and issues a few commands. The downside to this is a loss of programming as it resets the unit and it has to be re-adopted.

Try syncing /var/spool/hylafax/ as well as /var/www/db/. The latter directory contains fax.db, which will be everything related to virtual fax configuration (at least when using Hylafax as part of Elastix, anyway).

Awesome, thanks. That seems to do the trick!

yes you are right,

Thanks, that makes it much easier to understand all of those oddly colour coded drives!

@lillucia well that explains it!

Yeah i think..but it is good to learn sometimes..just to have an idea

Sounds like a great project idea. Thanks for sharing.
