Wegmans now has so much more than just the subs. We now have full restaurants in some of them. I live in a smaller town around here and our local one. Has an Asian food bar, pizza, sushi, American food (usually bbq or fried chicken), pasta bar, vegetarian section, huge salad bar, Friday's is fish fry, Panini bar for lunch each day. Beer and Wine, coffee bar. Fresh cheese and olive bar, oh yeah and Subs too. Then we have a the take out meals too that are in the deli section you can get a full meal for one person with one main dish and 2 sides to take home and heat up for $8.

Now the nice one in the city has 2 full restaurants the stuff I mentioned above and a full Bar as well.

This doesn't even begin to describe the types of food that the grocery stores sells as well. 99% of the time you choose the store brand as it is healthier and MUCH better tasting than a name brand anything. We also have huge ethnic food sections as well. It's hard to describe unless you have been in one.

I have done enough traveling and the closest I have ever seen is a Trader Joes or a Whole Foods and they are about a 1/4 of the size of Wegmans.

I've got to say Wegmans is probably one of the things that I miss the most about living in Rochester. Not only did they have produce and groceries at a reasonable price but you could get an amazing meal there as well for not much more money. Down in the southern tier we have to make due with Price Chopper or Walmart....

@scottalanmiller Understood... it is a really hard habit that I have yet to break...

LOL. I think the easiest guide for those outside the US or other primarily English speaking countries is... avoid Mr. or Sir. They are polite and not incorrect, but they are things that native speakers never use in normal conversation. They are too formal. Nothing wrong with them, but it is a formality that you don't need. IT Peers in the office would never be so formal with each other, for example. And a community like this is even less formal.

You obviously weren't raised in the South. Generally speaking unless you are given permission by that person to use their first name you don't.... ever. I have a fond memory of being smacked upside the head by a large woman in a McDonalds once because I didn't use the correct formality with an adult. It may be a thing only children do but it has really stuck with me....

Of course when I moved north my parents went to a parent/teacher conference about the unnecessary use of formality in the classroom, the teacher thought I was being disruptive and patronizing her.

In my hey day with that game, I would have nailed them all

My favourites were Yoshi, Pikachu and Ness
My favourite punching bag was Jigglypuff

I must have clocked a few hundred hours on that game.

I'm Link, sometimes Samus, and Captain Falcon is okay, but I preferred Ganadorf on Melee. He wasn't quite as fast, which made him easier to control. Same moves, but stronger. On Melee, I OWNED with Roy, although I could use Marth pretty well too.

I'm talking about the original & greatest version. Not to mention the only version that I owned. The glorious Nintendo 64.
The Game Cube was kinda cool but didn't ever have the same appeal as the N64.

See, I still think Melee is the greatest version. Brawl isn't bad, and I haven't played the newest version, but the original, while great, was limited in the scope of things you could do. Melee had all the same characters, and more.

Agreed. Melee was the much better version both in game play and additional features.

Also Kirby ftw.

I'd own you as Marth.

True, but in a 4 person FFA I generally played the troll and denied edges to the rest of the players. Also the ability to capture and spit out opponents over the edge was fantastic. He was so slow and unusable by most people that they never gave him a second thought when it came to an actual game.

@Reid-Cooper This is pretty cool... and the first I've heard of it. Thanks for sharing.

We do it... I have mentioned a number of times that it doesn't absolve us of any liability. It was requested by our HR and Finance department... although if you are mis-sending information from either of those departments you have a bigger problem.

A good set of headphones would solve this issue. I know they can be a pain but I became a headphone lover as soon as I got my first noise complaint in school. Granted... playing Halo with the bass at max on a 7.1 system in an apartment probably wasn't the best idea.

The worst part about it was that the neighbor who complained regularly had parties on friday/Saturday nights which went into all hours of the morning... not fun when you have to be at work at 6am the next day.

Yeah, Mine is a 5.1 with a kick-ass bass but I keep it all down pretty far. If I ever do blast my music, which is rare, it's during the middle of the day when most people are at work or generally out-and-about.

Ah, you will notice even with these system really low (and the base down all the way) the low end will still carry through thin walls, especially if they are just lightweight sheetrock.

One of the things that you can try to do is re-arrange it so that the sub is next to something that absorbs sound. I've noticed some mattresses do a great job for bass, although not so much for sounds on the higher end.

From what I remember some of those BIOS upgrades need to be run from a DOS bootable USB drive. You might be able to use something like BartPE to do it.

This is not a great week for space research....

@IRJ That's odd my Microsoft account is one with a custom domain. Not sure if it is because it is an older account or now.

I knew that Itanium was an HP thing. Cool that NTG has one.

Integrity is an HP thing. Itanium is an Intel thing.

Itanium did so poorly and cost so much to design that it is infamously known as the Itanic.

Was it architecturally better? Or is that something because it was so unpopular we would never know? It would be a shame if they invested all that money and didn't learn a way to manufacture a better chip from it.

So here is my dilemma, and I know an easy fix, but I'm trying to get an answer for my own reference.

I am remoted into one of my VMs and want to place some files from it on my main workstation. I am trying to access the main workstation via a UNC path...
\ajstringham-pro\D$

It's the drive I want to drop the files on. I point to the path and it prompts me for credentials. The issue is that my main login is my outlook.com email. I tried my email and password, but that didn't work. I tried my email but without the @outlook.com portion. That didn't work, which I didn't figure it would.

Anyone know how you'd go about this? I am planning to create a local admin account just for authentication purposes but was curious if there was a way to without doing that.

Thanks,
A.J.

Yes its quite simple. Just use your email with the @outlook.com portion. Since that is technically your domain. It will authenticate just like an AD account

I tried, it didn't take it.

It works. I have done it several times. Check your permissions. You should be able to add [email protected]

I've tried this in the past as well... Can't get it working. I resorted to making a non-microsoft account user on the box I needed access to and now use that for SMB shares.

Nice job! I love pumpkin carving. Although weren't able to do it this year.

@nadnerB I'm not trying to say anything negative about religion itself, and your argument of "atheists gets all old testament" is in itself misguided towards the implied goal.

I was born, raised, and baptized catholic, so I'm familiar with the works, up until now a majority of my life I was a Christian.

My implied goal wasn't to state how Christianity was wrong, or how any religion is wrong for that matter, just to point out those who make facebook statuses professing insulting texts with misinformed information. If you're going to entertain some text that is out dated from one book and profess it as your belief, wouldn't all text from the same book apply?

I endorse all religions as a side note, and will defend your right to believe what you want, I'm not one of "those atheists". Just to clarify.

@RAM. , you talk about not rejecting portions of a book, like Leviticus, and accepting the whole book. The fact is, that is STILL the wrong approach. You read the Bible as a whole, because the Bible has a theme, carried from Genesis to Revelation. The fact is that there are plenty of parts of the original five books of the Bible that no longer apply to Christians.

Agreed completely. Can you explain which parts don't apply to Christians while other parts from the same books do? According to most Christian Dogma (although not all, which is telling in and of itself) the bible is the physical manifestation of the word of G/god. Wouldn't it be sacrilege to dismiss certain parts of any of these books?

@nadnerB said:

Leviticus is a book of rules for the a tribe of Israel, specifically Levi, regarding how they are to live their lives and act in order to be fit to carry out their priesty duties in the Tent of Meeting (later to become Solomon's Temple). The rules for the rest of the tribes of Israel are listed in Deuteronomy. They are, IMO, less intense and strict.

I have no problem with this. That's fine Deuteronomy/Leviticus is a set of rules for a bronze age semi-nomadic tribe of middle easterners...
But why are those, admittedly outdated, rules being thrown around by Christians, who have supposedly found the new testament, to oppress a group of people?

I have no problem with Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Scientologists, basically any of the tens of thousands of religions. I am engaged to a devout Catholic, I really don't care what people believe in, but when they use texts from 2-3000 years ago to oppress or condemn people for something that has no bearing on their [the Christian's] everyday life... that's when I take issue.

Hi,

I'm the NETGEAR ReadyNAS Technical Forums Expert

Woah, that's specific

Specific and AWESOME! Companies need to realize what an important role that is to have.

The being specific part or the being awesome part?

I guess I don't know why large distributions are using Systemd if it is pretty much universally reviled by the community. Not that I really understand most of what it does for the system.

@coliver - I am in the same boat and feeling about Kaseya. We use it here in our district and it's awful. It's buggy, crashes, and the sales rep is not pleasant to work with... at all. That's why we want to jump ship ... esp if they tell us we have to pay for maintenance that we never used, on ALL licenses that we own... not just the one with pricing...

We purchased it for a year with their "educational" pricing, which turns out really wasn't any different then their retail but I digress, and implementation was a mess to the point where it was basically unusable for the first three months. Finally got one of their software engineers on the line and he was next to useless but got me to the right spot to configure what I had to do. Then I think we had to open a ticket or two every month from then on just to get basic functionality working. It could have been our environment but I somehow doubt it.

I left that district a couple of years ago. I hear they purchased two Dell KACE appliances to take over after I left.
