    MX records - can you have two? How does it sort them out?

    It's common to have more than two. It's very rare that someone would have only one, it takes a lot more infrastructure to only have one and still be reliable. Generally you only see a single MX record with the biggest enterprise services (Office 365) or with test / lab setups where reliability doesn't matter.

    I've Had similar issues. I've found on some Android smartphones turning off the "noise reduction" in the dailer app settings can help. Though it's going to make their calls noisy so I don't find it to be a great solution.

    It's because they share the same subject - there is no other way for an email system to determine that things are the same conversation. There is no "id" field in the emails to otherwise identify them.

    I agree, the message explains everything. The IPMI driver has not been installed yet. They even provide a link for more information.

    That makes sense. For me, I am testing this on my home mac, and I would like to keep the web shield on, but not able to browse when it is on. Opened a ticket on Avast, lets wait for their feedback.

    Surprising here, the Dev3 blew the BigDog away in UnixBench score!

    One of the biggest things people don't know about VMs is that more doesn't always equal better.

    We get all the time where someone throws more processors at a VM but then bitches when their performance sucks ass. The BigDog3 with its 8 procs might be all kewl and stuff, but it doesn't necessarily translate to better performance.

    In this case, more than likely more people are on the BigDog clusters than the Dev. Performance will always come up better when it's not being oversubscribed.

    The CPU is the same between between the BigDog 1 and Dev3 only difference is more ram and 20GB more storage.

    Most things are going to be that good at using multiple cores. I'd rather see higher clock speeds and newer CPUs than what they are using. But it's all very old hardware. works for testing though.

    But it's about doing your own cost-benefit analysis. It's too simplistic to say you should never run legacy applications.

    Of course, there are always times that legacy applications need to be run. But there are limits too. ASP as a platform has been legacy for a decade and a half. That's a long time. It has a pending end date for when it may not be available any longer in any capacity. It presents platform level risk which may prove to not matter, but may prove to be extremely limiting in the future - that's the nature of risk, we don't know what will happen with hardware and software down the road. But it is technical debt building up in a platform that is nearly all of the way through its "trailing off support" timeframe.

    It's fine to have legacy apps. But it is also important to identify when a legacy app is becoming too legacy. In the OP's case, ASP created support and hosting risk in addition to normal concerns. Those were probably types of risk that were not considered in the past. Any business running ASP is constrained if they decide that they want to go hosted, for example. They might not ever decide to do that, but there is technical debt potentially making that decision for them, as well.

    Any ongoing support of an ASP legacy app means that investment is being put into the old system. Maybe that is trivial, maybe it is major. Technical debt is a hidden cost. Money goes into keeping the old system running instead of being implemented in a new system. The effort to support the old could offset the effort to replace it.

    Even Google admits, they don't make enough, or market these for the general public. Something like 80% of the ones they build stay internal to Google. That all being said, I would LOVE to have one. They are not trying to compete with Apple laptops, so you can't really compare them.

    Oh, if on CentOS 5 you are out of luck. Pertino has always been known to not support libraries that far back and because it is so old they have no intention of making it work on a system so old. Sorry, that's just how that works. We have one database server that can't upgrade from CentOS 5 right now and it is left without Pertino šŸ˜ž

    Ah ok. Yeah, they're still using CentOS 5, and I have the latest Unitrends. Dang it...

    I know Ecuador and New York are in the same time zone. My cousin lived in Ecuador for over a decade, so that's how I know that...

    We should start another thread as we've completely derailed BUT.... how did he like it? I'm planning on being in Panama over the summer and Argentina in January. Can't wait to spend some time in Central and South America.

    First off, she. Lol And she loved it. My cousin is by far one of the most interesting people I've ever even heard of. She's lived in Ecuador, Cambodia, and now is in China with her new husband. She has friends on pretty much every continent, and I mean close friends. Her passport is insane with stamps from every country you can imagine.
