DirectAccess is IPv6 only. Pertino is both IPv4 and IPv6.

True for Server 2008. Not true for Server 2012.

But DA requires Win7 or Win8 Enterprise clients

@IRJ FUD, licensing, and time to migrate are probably the big detractors.

Got to keep in mind Office2003 is sunsetting, too. Server 2003 isn't far off (next year). Surprised how often Server2003 comes up in tech groups. Cringe inside every time I see it.

fwiw, going through and surviving these migrations are a good thing for the resume and job talks.

Also, an important note, it is HIPAA

fwiw: if I see that wrong on a résumé, it goes straight to the trashcan.

Obligatory—

@Dashrender Remove "background", and/or use "none" for that element (err, maybe "transparent" ).

fwiw, It is not Windows 8.1/7 issue. It is rendering engines behind the the web browsers.

Curious how it looks in Chrome and Firefox. The thought is the rendering engines behind them:

• Webkit — Safari (OS X), Chrome
• Trident — Internet Explorer
• Gecko — Firefox
• Blink — Opera (newer), Chromium
• Presto — Opera (older)
• Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser_engine

For the specific IE8/IE11 used:

• Looking at v4 versus v7 of Trident

I was once attending classes on the above. Please is the language still in vogue?

If the real question is, "What programming language to learn?" Then try Python.

BASIC was long ago and now far away.

...and not professional.

It has been often questioned when getting new employees: Should the hiring manager,

• Get the one with the best technical skills?
• Get the one with the best temperament?

"Skills" looks attractive, but "temperament" wins. There is a caveat in the person needs be willing and able to develop their own skills within and outside the company & within and outside the job description.

After all, that issues of all types arise is expected, what is important is how they are handled. Even in "bad situations", not resolving can be (somewhat) okay if the inability or delay in resolving is communicated expeditiously and effectively.

Better fortune with the next person!
