Who still charges for long distance calls? We had POTS lines from Verizon not that long ago, I think we still have one for fire alarm, we've never had any long distance charges, ever. That's a relic from 90's and before.

I got the email about it couple of months back. I told them to shove it, and warned that I would bill them for wasted time if they continued to bother me.

It's voluntary, tell them to get lost.

@dustinb3403 said in Windows Server 2019 is just around the corner. What it brings us, and why are we so excited?:

16 core minimum is really simple since many systems come with dual socket systems.

An 8-core single socket would be simple, just multiply by 2 and you have what you need for core licensing. The CALs have remained the same.

I don't see that being cheaper for 12 core AMD CPUs, and we had even 16 core CPUs years ago. 50%-100% more vs per socket licensing.

Is it still licensed per core? That was real punch in the balls for AMD users with 2016, if they kept that licensing model in 2019, I'll pass again.

Microsoft licensing or StarWind?

Why would microsoft change a licensing format that works for a ton of people?

Microsoft. Because it doesn't work for a ton of people. Why did they change it in first place? What was wrong with per socket licensing?

Per Core is cheaper, and easier to correctly license. . . per socket could easily make you purchase licensing for cores that you don't have.

Care to explain that? When you bought per socket licenses, cores didn't matter, so how could you buy licenses for cores when you weren't buying licenses for cores?

@dustinb3403 said in Is It Possible to Mount SMB Share Using Kerberos Token of Current User on MacOS:

@marcinozga thanks for that, but neither appears to be operational on my test system. . . Will dig into it in a bit.

You probably need to tinker with those scripts to match your environment.

Or this one, if I read one of your previous comments correctly, where you want users to be asked which share they wanted to mount:

Use PlistBuddy to add shares to sidebar. You can throw that into dotfiles, and deploy with ansible or example.

Like Scott said, this is a server side feature and has nothing to do with Outlook, it never did. What you have in Outlook is an exposed setting in Exchange, and it's the Exchange server responsible for sending out of office replies. Email client is never responsible for that.

This source specifically says that they don't know. How did you use "we don't know" as "we know?" All it says is that they have not determined the right amount, not that there isn't a safe amount or even that some isn't better than none.

"There is no known safe amount of alcohol use during pregnancy or while trying to get pregnant. There is also no safe time during pregnancy to drink. All types of alcohol are equally harmful, including all wines and beer. When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, so does her baby." - hint, 2nd and 3rd sentence.

None of that, literally not one word of it, says that they know that alcohol is bad (we don't need to keep saying "in proper quantities" unless someone truly things that water needs a warning, too). You are letting them "lead you" with the writing style.

Read it careful. All it says is that "they don't know." They never say alcohol is dangerous. They point out obvious things and let you draw false conclusions. This is standard marketing techniques that we talk about regularly. How sales people state something simple and true that tells you nothing, and let you presume that they meant something more.

This is how you get people to lie to themselves, it's what prevents lawsuits and you never have to say things as people will "fill in the gaps" with their own assumptions.

You read this and think they just said alcohol is known to be bad. I read it and see words that very clearly say "we don't know much of anything."

Seriously? Do you only read what you want to read? All alcohol are equally harmful - does that sound they never say alcohol is dangerous?

Oh, we do know:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3321494/

This says absolutely nothing about alcohol being bad for you. It is just giving the obvious information that "too much of anything" is bad for you. Which we already know. If you think this is telling you that all alcohol is bad, it must then mean that all water is bad, too, as too much water will kill you.

Bottom line... there is no scientific or common sense evidence that alcohol in proper quantities is unhealthy and most studies show or suggest that some alcohol is actually good for you.

But it does. It explains alcohol metabolism at cellular and molecular level, and indicates that metabolism does damage the liver. We're not getting into exact quantities here, as that's really impossible to estimate, for the sake of argument lets say single C2H5OH molecule damages single liver cell. That's the evidence right there.

@scottalanmiller now replace liver disease with pregnancy in that first sentence. It's a known fact that alcohol damages both liver and fetus. The difference is liver can regenerate, fetus cannot.

This is where you leave fact behind and go into "I've just made things up" land. It is NOT known that alcohol damages these things in proper quantities. Anyone claiming so is just lying. It MIGHT do that, not having any might do that, too. Bottom line, we don't know.

If alcohol is so healthy, how come my pregnant wife cannot drink any? Right, it kills cells, all kinds.

What do you mean she can't drink any? I've only heard doctors recommend it to pregnant women, never tell them to avoid it. I've known a lot of people whose doctors told them that they should consider drinking while pregnant as stress is the bigger danger during pregnancy. We were just talking a few days ago about how our doctors were always telling my wife to have red wine while pregnant.

If a doctor told my wife to drink during pregnancy, that would be the last time we'd see that doctor. She's under a care or multiple doctors in the practice, not one will tell you to drink, and every single one will strongly suggest otherwise.

Well sure, if you are self selecting doctors that only tell you what you've decided is good advice - you have chosen the advice then found a doctor that says it. Rather than choosing the doctor and getting their advice.

It's a bit like only hiring Windows Admins, then saying that all IT people you know recommend Windows.

It's not about being selective, it's following common sense. If you had diabetes, would you listen to a doctor that tells you to drink 4 cans of coke a day? Or if you had high blood pressure and a doctor told you to eat a pound of bacon or sausage for breakfast, would you still listen? Or let's get straight to alcohol, you have liver disease, doctor tells you to have a 6 pack for lunch, now please don't tell me you wouldn't want to punch the guy in the face?

There had actually been some recent research that says moderate consumption while pregnant has little to no effect on the fetus.

I wouldn't want my child's liver busy cleaning out Alcohol in any capacity during development, let alone while in the womb.

It doesn't, the mothers body removes alcohol long before it reaches the fetus or the placenta.

Do you have the source for this? Because once alcohol enters mother's bloodstream, it's free to enter placenta, and into fetus bloodstream.

Recent research vs thousands of kids with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. See the pictures, I'll take no alcohol any day vs kid looking like that.

Fetal Alcohol syndrome comes from extremely heavy drinking. An occasional glass of wine hasn't been shown to have the same effect. That being said, my wife didn't drink when she was pregnant either.

Would you and your wife be willing to take the risk?
