Thanks guys. I'll check this out and get back to you.

Sounds like a good job for someone who is pretty new in IT.

For everyone else, it sounds like this "We want to pay you entry level pay for server projects and deployments"

I'm not sure I read exactly that. To me it reads, "If you take the job now, at next to nothing, "eventually" you will work up to making lots of money and specializing. "

The job actually is going to pay decent to start from what we briefly discussed on the phone, so that's not a bad thing. Also, from my brief conversation (I'll know more after tomorrow), it seems like the type of company that invests in their people.

@IRJ said in Skype Video Call Recording:

What is the purpose of recording the calls? I am asking because maybe skype isn't the best tool for the job.

Skype is the means we have to work with. The purpose is simply to be able to look back on conversations with friends and re-watch them.

Are you really going to watch recorded skype conversations? That seems like an unusual scenario. Disk space can creep up pretty quickly...

Yes. And storage isn't an issue. I have plenty of storage laying around the house I can use.

The point was, misusing revert is wrong, using the needful is just regional. Unrelated items. And I've found the UK to use revert and defend it more than any other region.

Yeah but the Brits are weird. Lol

I know - they like to get pissed and suck on fags...

@art_of_shred said in Solving the Holiday Christmas Puzzle:

Does each word begin with a capital letter? I see Mistletoe and it's 9 letters...

Mistletoe was the last letter. I also mistyped the letters like a doofus and put a "y" in instead of a v. A second y. It's Holly, Ivy and Mistletoe.

Yeah, that kind of breaks the whole thing when you transcribe the wrong letters. 😛

Yeah, that was my bad...

@IRJ said in Unlocking a Wiped iPad:

I would just get rid of the device. Selling it for parts could possibly get him in trouble if the 2nd owner came up with it in a shady way.

Yeah, I don't know all the details. I was just asking. I agree it sounds shady but I honestly don't know what the details are.

Everytime I see @FloridaMan I think of this southpark commercial.

Thanks to working in the International Book Fair of Guadalajara I have gotten to meet many famous and really interesting people mostly writers of course. Just last week in this years fair, I got to meet and speak with Rigoberta Menchu while having breakfast. I also spoke with John Kazenback and asked him to sign a book for my cousin since she is a really big fan of him.

But the most famous person I have met and I really admire is my own cousin =), Javier Hernandez Balcazar also known as Chicharito . He is currently one of the most famous soccer players in Mexico and is known worldwide thanks to having played for Manchester United and Real Madrid. He is currently living in Germany and playing for Bayern Leverkusen.

Maybe we will watch White Christmas today while trapped in the hotel.

I started a new thread for it.

Perfect! Anyone who wants to post them there, I will test them and video them even, if people want!

@scottalanmiller said in How Many Ads?!:

It also appears to count ads that are commented out in code. So it is blocking things that are not there, as well.

Late to the party, but it was I and someone else at MangoCon that dug into it and found that counts all unused/unshown ads

@Dashrender said in Amazon Echo vs Amazon Dot vs Google Home:

Considering the complete and utter lack of security in almost anything that actually allows remote control (i.e. JB and his cameras that demand UPNP open ports for the world - thank you NO) I currently refuse to use any of that stuff.

That said, I do have an Amazon Echo - after hearing Scott say how cool they are - and now I just sit back and wonder why. Sure I have it play Amazon music on it's crappy speaker (ok a dot could fix that) 1 time a month on average, I ask it the weather about 2 times a month on average... Otherwise I'm constantly annoyed, almost nightly by it saying "I'm sorry Dave I didn't understand the question I heard" while watching a show where no one said Alexia.

I guess my wife and I have asked it a question here or there, but it fails to know 9 out of 10 times and we fall back to google to get the answer.

That is the other thing I do like about the Google Home vs the Amazon equipment. Google seems to be much better at answering general questions, and you can ask it follow-up questions, something the Amazon Echo/Dot is lacking. Also, even if Google hasn't fully integrated all their services with it yet, I have zero doubts they will in the future. I'm leaning more towards the Home at this point, tbh.

RIT has a well respected Engineering Program. Clarkson University does as well. Syracuse University did but I think it's gone down hill since the 80s. SUNY IT/Poly, whatever they want to call themselves, has well regarded one in the SUNY system not sure how that translates to the outside world. Looks like they closed that program down. Scratch that.

@scottalanmiller You have to take the RHCSA to get the RHCE.....

@Minion-Queen said in NTG is Family. Period.:

Well you always have to have the one annoying family member... or is it family member that is annoyed... oh whatever

Am I that annoying family member? Lol

We really need an alternative power source. Powering all of these data centers is a lot. Pretty soon the earth is just going to be rows and rows of racks. Like that episode of Silicon Valley. We're just going to be mole people.

@thanksajdotcom right direction. The first way to solve this problem is to reset your iCloud account password online, the second to use iTunes to reset, and the third is to use third-party tools to hard reset iPhone without iCloud password (final solution). Here are the steps to use iTunes:
Connect to iTunes> Click on the Summary tab in the left list of iTunes > select Restore iPhone Options > select "Restore" option in the prompt window > click "Restore and Update" > iPhone will restart.
