Wondering WTF is wrong with Toshiba phone system programmers. http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/tsd/tech/soft_strata/cix/Network_eManager_Windows_10_Installation.pdf
So much NO, DON'T DO THAT!
The real question is, "what is wrong with customers who keep buying those systems and justifying what the programmers have been doing?"
The system just works for them. They don't see the need to change. Would have them on hosted with @ntg or @Bundy-Associates if I had my choice.
Exactly, so you just answered why the programmers do what they do. Because it is what the customers' want.
Wouldn't it benefit Microsoft to simply not allow this kind of thing to occur, since Microsoft themself says "you have to buy a server license" to do this?
Instead, let's just give Windows 10 the ability to do it all and then piss and moan when people don't purchase a license.
. . .
But then they wouldn't sell as many Server licenses during an audit, and that would hit their pocketbook.

But they actually would (it would just be at the outset), and it would simplify the entire process. If your desktop isn't capable of doing something (because the functionality doesn't exist) then people would just purchase server and CALs and never have to worry about an audit.

The code bases are so similar I'm not sure what it would take to put that kind of limit on the desktop OS.

Oddly I wouldn't think it would take much. As large of a company MS is, they could easily handle that.

Honestly I don't think they care - sure, if the SBA catches someone, make them pay, beyond that - nah... that lack of real caring is what allowed MS to kill Novell. Novell was a complete lock down on licensing, no provable license - no access.

That's the likely true part.

Seeing odd layout of the site on my mobile

@hobbit666 It's the new version, it has a few new features. Like "A new post has been made, click to refresh" at the top of whatever page you're on.

I'm thinking about making some infant toys out of wood. I've got a few tools, and it would be good use of time (and a money saver).
Better than purchasing all of this plastic crap.
-
@DustinB3403 Except when they throw it at you, wood hurts

Yeah. . . well that's a part of the job. Plus them throwing things develops their muscles.
-
@DustinB3403 Very true
-
She's just a bit over 4 months old, and we have some plastic teething toy rings and a bouncy chair that makes music and a few other knick-knack toys.
But she's going to need more sooner than later and I would love to spend the time making something she'll use and play with.
-
I am even considering making a doll-house for her to play with as looking at purchasing one from Amazon etc is way to damn expensive.
It's plywood and wall paper. I wouldn't mind purchasing the furnishings though. But come on, $100 for a plastic house that is gonna get tossed in maybe a year?
-
@DustinB3403 Thats really a good idea and I think she would enjoy having something from you more than plastic stuff. I forgot you had a girl, my apologies, I think boys in general throw things more. Mine are bad about that.
-
@jmoore no need to apologize.
-
@DustinB3403 I bet she would love a doll house and that one from amazon probably wouldn't last too long. Something you made though should last for many years and I think she would treasure it
-
Granted, she won't be able to use/play with it for years so I'd have to store it. But at least if I plan it out and get everything ready to go.
Worse case she never uses it.
-
@DustinB3403 True, but I bet she will. Its a good idea and worthwhile making something yourself.
-
In doing some research on this, making a doll-house really isn't difficult. A board of MDF and the tools I already have.
The finishing (wall paper and paint) would be the most difficult.
