@msff-amman-Itofficer WTF does sexual proclivity have to do with malware??? I don't know about anyone else, but I don't take kindly to homophobes.

how do you feel about people that get all sensitive for nothing ?

its joke man its just goes LSTB looks close to LGBT

It sounds like a really shitty HIV/AIDS joke, makes you look like a dick if intended or not.

I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm hearing this is the case regarding Muslims in the UK. There are sections of the UK where the police don't even go because Sharia Law is taking over.

There are in fact areas the police are not able to patrol heavily. I grew up in Slough which now has areas where the police do not go unless they are in force and in riot gear, there are also parts of East London which are in a similar bad spot.

I was passing through Woolwich Arsenal, a massive fight had broken out....between 2 groups of angry white men....wearing different football uniforms.

Sharia law has nothing to do with it, its down to crime and vandalism, There are cases of gangs harassing women and individuals using "Sharia" as justification but they are in the minority.

Christianity also has its fair share of violent fools. Look at the Westboro baptist church.

Interesting to basically see confirmation of what I heard.
Of course evil things are do in the name of any/everything. Sharia is just the one I heard about.

Literally said Sharia Law has nothing to do with it. You was talking about Muslims but that has nothing to do with it either.

The rest described is just rough areas in general.

You said they used it as justification- regardless of how it's used the fact is that it was used.

Your statement said Sharia Law is taking over, that is not true. That is not the same as "some people" using it as justification.

Ok fine it's not taking over but it is why the police don't go in those areas unless in force - or at least the give excuse.

Those parts of his statement weren't related, there is harassment of the public with Sharia used as an excuse in the smallest of minorities. Remove Muslims from the UK and there would be no fewer of these areas where police don't feel safe to patrol.

I don't mind what you say about the police, but using your statement about Muslims with no idea of the actual situation seems stupid and targeted.

Just finished installing NextCloud and SuiteCRM in AWS. Love the free tier services.

NextCloud client is available in the Deepin Store now.

Is there an easy way to "download" YouTube vids for offline viewing on Android?

Why not just make a playlist and watch them when you have the time (with internet connectivity)?

What a daft question responding to offline viewing options

Nice, where ya moving to?

Small MSP not far from where I live. 2/3rd line and working on developing their services.

Such a relief to leave the constant battle that this job is.

@wls-itguy Did you say exactly "IT guy"? I can imagine professional people looking down at the "guy" tagged on there.

I just say I work in IT and leave it at that, not worth my effort trying to explain further.

How do people use PowerShell? Just opening it takes so long I forget why I was opening it!

Like @dafyre - I don't seem to have this issue. But then again, I am on a Windows machine. Could it be a Linux issue (of sorts)?

It's FAR worse on Windows than on Linux. Like 10x longer, maybe?

Maybe Windows users are just used to things being so slow that they don't notice?

I'd wager you have something going on on that system. I click the Powershell icon and start typing.

Find me a system where it is fast. I've never seen PS come up quickly, never once.

My laptop and every server I connect to.

Paul just unpacked some food that he shipped down from Missouri that expired over seven and a half years ago, lol.

Was it shipped prior to expiry or...?

Oh nice one. Can you have heirarchical OUs now too? I think initially you could only have flat OUs? Could be completely wrong and outdated info!

At the start of a project to convert 50-something school's on-premises to cloud so thanks for that link.

Bugger, client got me a gift of alcohol but they've left it at home! They purchased some software in October and it didn't work, both companies involved refusing responsibility. Been fighting with them since then for a solution and they finally sorted 3 weeks ago...

@breffni-potter said in Feedback on Resume:

So your job title was desktop support
And 4 different companies called you IT generalist? Sounds made up.

We've had this argument on here a few times. What does it matter what the company calls you? 90% of the time those title mean literally nothing and often don't apply to the job you actually did. IT Generalist is the correct descriptor for what @wirestyle22 did at those positions.

Because that's what recruiters would be looking at? They don't know the differences or not actual differences, so you're shooting yourself in the foot a bit by not using it for their sake.

In all our schools we have a Solus3 deployment server that uses reverse lookups when you're doing initial client setups in it. Solus3 updates SIMS and FMS which are the MIS and finance systems that run the school.

From what I've seen you don't seem to know what a quiet weekend is ha

If a user needs access to any part of Office they need one of the plans listed on that website or a volume licence for Office per machine.
