Thanks for looping back. SQL jobs are not in my wheelhouse any longer.

I know this.

Good point, let's start a new topic on Split Horizon DNS. When to use it and if it makes sense in your case 🙂

Even though we couldn't possibly push a full month's backup (~24TB [this would comprise 4 weeks of full backups]) offsite it might be viable for the incremental backups. Which is what I now need to look into, and our weekly delta is low enough that we need to weigh the options of taking tapes / disks home weekly with the cost to restore from an online storage provider.

You can't keep incrementals offsite without the fulls. Incrementals only are useful with fulls. The two are part of the same package.

That seems like a pretty crucial feature for a chat client to have...

The ability to.... chat?

It's almost NO CONTEST now after watching this video:

Yes, I love social engineering stories!

Depends. I've never seen an enterprise shop with enterprise system admins that were not more expensive than the storage guys. Close, but systems is the top payer. I've known many $200K and higher systems people. No storage people at $200K. But lots over $150K.

Cost more but can do more. I'm not saying what my pay is, but my bonus is more than my whole salary at my previous employer.

Yup, system admins generally can do "nearly anything." Whereas storage admins generally can do only one thing. And if you change storage products you generally have to replace your storage team too.

Contact NTG I'm pretty sure they can do it without pushing any products. Although there is a fee it is probably worth it.

Yes, and.... yes.

Here is the site I was on.. but when I visit now, there is no prompt.

I suppose it's possible I visited another page in a different tab, then killed the tab, and the prompt at the bottom of IE 11 stayed across tabs.

If the idea is keeping the budget down, software RAID sounds like a great option. That is a large chunk of cash necessary to get a quality RAID controller.

@scottalanmiller Seems like more has happened with Hyper-V in the last 12 months, than it ever has in development. I'll be excited to see what happens in the next few years, especially with RemoteFX and VDI (setting up some Raspberry Pi 2's from Amazon for $70, and Raspberry Thin PC download). Tried it out over this last spring in a VMware Horizon View environment, and all I can say is wow. That install has pretty much every remote protocol. You can harden the client by locking out the docks/settings/etc once you're all done setting it up. Not perfect, but nearly there.

SSL and TLS protect people from spying on an existing communications channel, but does nothing to protect the end points. It's just a service that has to respond to any incoming request.

No, I meant the two Program Files directories, as there isn't just one unless you are running 32bit.

Yeah I did forget about that - never really understood the reason for that split - the users sure the heck don't care!

I find pagination works better even on full devices.

I prefer the infinite scroll as long as it works right. It mostly works well on here.

I prefer it when it works too 🙂

they havent been whining about performance today so i'm just gonna wait til tonight

1 of me, 35 of them. In all fairness, most of "them" are developers, so I really only have 2 "users" here that aren't technical and brilliant.

That Norco might work, but looking at it, I'm curious what the usable dimensions are inside. The exterior depth shows 31.5" and the Dell Standard depth is 28 7/8. That's cutting it pretty
close. I haven't found a spec sheet or anyone talking about the interior dims yet.

This is a little damaged apparently, but might be the right idea.
