the original NORTON line of products

Easter Sunday breakfast at church, brunch with my family, and dinner with my wife's family. "A healthy" portion of pig product will be consumed I'm sure

Old thread but I just found this out after wasting a few hours last evening trying to get Hyper-V 2016 on my Dell 2950 lab server. Processors need to support SLAT

would rather be re-iping than this adfs PITA. I'll take up NadnerB's offer on the hammer

be sure to verify their fiber delivered POTS lines support faxes or modems. GET IT IN WRITING IF YOU NEED IT!! Many times, as mentioned these are VoIP lines that are just connected to an ATA and will not support modems or faxes. If it something like Verion Fios, their "POTS" lines do support fax (they simply do a digital to analog conversion at the ONT, not voip from what I can tell) and we have not had any troubles with modems; not true though with our Time Warner fiber circuit.

AARUGH my annual review (see many previous links on the waste of these) is right when the AMA is. Ugh maybe I can get my boss to join.

@MattSpeller Except my 'lectrical guy is, literally, "Mr. Sparky"

@DustinB3403 Speaking of that, my town is doing a "Solarize" initiative where they are offering lower up front cost to get panels installed and are waiving some of the permit fees. Looks like the installers are offering net metering. Since I have to get teh roof re-done anyways this year might be a good time to make the leap.

R2D2ing a laptop together today top install while on vacation next week.

Researching recommendations for entertainment options for a 4 and a 2 year old on a 12 hour car ride. Kindle fire may get loaded up with a lot of movies but the 2 year old still doesn't get to not swipe the screen

Typically you would use a spectrum analyzer to look at the frequency range in question. Problem is most of them are expensive. We use a product from Ekahau when doing site surveys to determine wifi in use and interference from things like microwave ovens:

I believe we paid over $6000 for it though.
There was a cheap one out there that worked well I'll see if I can find it.
Other option is a software defined radio that can tune the 2.4GHz band, coupled with a radio program like SDR# (pronounced SDRSharp) that can scan the band in question. You look on the scan as its happening for peaks in the frequency range; those are either your wifi AP's or other devices causing interference. @gjacobse may have some info on one; the one I have doesn't go up that high in frequency.

@EddieJennings Definitely document your experience with leaving them. Our contract is up Feb 2018 and Myself, our COO and our carrier services guy all want to leave them and port our numbers (and we have a LOT of numbers) out from them

Huge fan of Zoom after it's sucess with MangoCon. Price is right too. Moving away my One-off's that we used to use join.me for

The younger one turns 2 this weekend. Big picnic planed for Sat, except that most of the guest list can't make it now due to either other commitments or personal issues. SO I guess I'll be eating nothing but burgers and hot dogs for the next week.
Sunday, might actually finally get my lab "stuff" moved out of the garage into the basement and set up we will see

@wirestyle22 I've been using the free version without issues so far

Back from a successful first time camp out with the family. My 4 year old handled a 2.5 mile hike that felt like it was entirely uphill without any complaints at all, and both of them had their first open fire cooked hot dogs and s'mores. Now back to the grind as next week this guy's on vacation so extra prep work this week so I don't get any calls (hopefully)

@eddiejennings We are on Windstream SIP service. AVOID!!!!

We just did windows this year,and I jsut signed the contract to get solar installed

We have not found a solution to this so far all our user's have been "good"

so here's a holy (insert explitive here). Been at my current job 15 years! That 1/3 of my life!
