Re: What bugs me..

Slap a Digital to Analogue converter somewhere, I'm sure you aren't alone and someone like TechMoan will likely be a good place to see what he does with his setup.

Re: "making a push to the cloud"

Well they have an added bonus, those of us on their in premise ERP systems (Line 500/1000 or X3)will ensure unless Sage sell off their Cloud Services division they aren't going to go belly up.

Re: Eh?

I think they think by using an app it will solves every single problem in the entire world.

Re: Why?

Well I assumed the foldable phones would be something only posers would want, I obviously hadn't realised it was something so many people desired over Samsungs non foldable top end phone.

Re: HOW the thief got into the phone!

Maybe the app was already open?

Re: Query

Ah so basically a trying to be useful feature which might come back and bite anyone not aware of it.

Re: Oh lord

Probably collecting her harvest followed by exchanging baskets with other Farmville users.

Re: chillers

Yes (Sort of, we simply poll snmp temperature readings from anything which has them), but no-one checks them during the weekends (No access to webmail anymore and tbh I bloody hate reading emails on my work phone so will only answer phone calls over the weekend, also outsourced so they should know before me).

So it was a toasty in there, followed by paniced visit to the site engineers after I found a fuse which had tripped but it didn't mention A/C (I don't like almost electrocuting myself anymore and couldn't see a valid reason why it had tripped so thought it best to get a witness just in case something exploded or melted again).

Then paniced when nothing happened when fuse reset and a sigh of relief when putting them into Manual mode clicked some form of relay and both units burst into life.

Re: At least 6 and at most 20 characters long

It would annoy me as I set keypass to default to 32 characters (Not the hex preset, upper lower case with symbols)

Mis reading the fax number I assume or just typing the wrong number.

Although I thought no-one used fax machines these days, doubt anyone knows we have them here anymore (Although we did move from dedicated fax machines to have them built into our copiers).

Re: "Phone" on VAX/VMS

Ah yes the telling people off for leaving their machines unlocked.

I tended to find it was me who would get told off, so started getting more creative especially when using some spare boxes, a high viz vest to create an outside person and a word file stating I am stealing files.

Colleague also got told off for sending an I love you email to another colleague who was in on the joke.

Re: MS have been strict of late

Is that for a corporate domain or their own such as outlook.com

Re: I wish my users protected data like this efficient PA

Brilliant until people change desks and not move their equipment, although probably my fault for ensuring roaming profiles worked on our networks (Obviously doesn't work well for people who keep everything on their desktop).

Re: Would not expect any less from Valve

Like the Morokai "Mini Game" in the Dota 2 Ti event (By that I mean it was a rush rehashed event with a lovely bug where Lifestealer could infest the Morokai and sell its very expensive items).

Re: No Map updates

Is 25GB for the worldwide maps?

As a Garmin user the device I have and my parents tend to be a few gig (For UK and Europe)

Yup have installed on machines I use a lot because of the language colour option, but its not on every machine I have access to.

Re: I know the series well...

For us Security patches and the fact our computer reseller had a good offer on the non duplexed 4250.

Same with the 4250's, although we found at 1 million prints rubber rollers tended to start drifting causing jams. Replace and off it went (Never did have issues with the swing cog that apparently used to grind into dust by the fuser)

You mean like a modulised version of the office application itself?

Nearest I can get to that is customising the toolbars currently :(

Re: Touch screens

Q: Why do cars need electric parking brakes?

A: Feck knows and if they do have them why not engage the handbreak when the car is stopped and switched off (Have had numerous cars roll away after an hour into thankfully someones elses car)

even more fun, the help files on the CD require them to be installed to an IIS server and doesn't work in Edge/Firefox/Chrome so you are forced to use IE (in Enterprise Mode)
