      I am marvelling in how good my new boss is...

      When your team comes to work on Monday and find these at their desks, you have a great boss!

      When he tells you all to wear them on Friday, you have an awesome boss!

      I WANT! Find out where he got it!

      Starbucks Hacked - Maybe Not Such a Great Economic Indicator?
      http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2010/06/30/using-starbucks-dunkin-donuts-to-track-economy/

      Actually I might say the exact opposite. When businesses that rely on discretionary funds are doing will, that probably means the economy is doing well too because people have extra discretionary funds to spend.

      That's exactly what I said. The point was if they were hacked, the numbers are possibly skewed.

      That article is from 2010 and it's not uncommon for businesses to follow the economy by either going up or down.

      The point was that Starbucks/DD are part of discretionary spending, not out of necessity. So when they are doing better, it means people are spending more freely on non-essential items. It's an older article (I was just finishing high school when I first saw it) but the principle is just as applicable...

    • RE: US Army likely to ban smartwatches

      Slavery was abolished over 100 years ago in the US, except for two things, joining the military and farming. My father always said farming, especially a dairy farm, is basically legal slavery. And when you join the military, you are not a person, but property of the government to be used as they see fit.

      Waiting for a Steam update. It's only 54MB but it's taking an age of man to download.
      The usual 75MB update could have been done at least twice over by now. 😞
      Oh well, at least I'm not using a console.

      I haven't opened Steam on my PC in so long!

      We have Tim Hortons here. We don't need no Starbucks! Let the south keep their Subways and Starbucks! Oh, and we have plenty of Dunkin Donuts too!

      Why not get your hands on GNS3 or PacketTracer to practice on? It is nice having actual physical gear and related issues to work with, but it can be cost and space prohibitive.

      I have it. But I don't have an active SmartNet anymore so I don't have any images.

      I have the latest Packet Tracer I'll gladly send you. Straight from Netacad.

      Or is the Managed Engine one product with many different functions?

      Yes and no. The products can be merged into one if you own them all but they are separate. No idea which one. I'd think service desk plus.

      Ok, I figured it'd be something with that or the helpdesk, etc but wasn't sure.

      Do I want to know which laptop is dead?

      Uhm,... Depends. It might be that laptop,.. or that other one. It's not my personal laptop.

      And really,... it's not dead,. it just won't POST, nothing on screen, seems to 'power cycle' itself. CPU fan and HDD power cycle at the same time.

      I could replace the MOBO,.. but is that really practical.

      No warranty?

      Depending on the age, probably not or else he'd have called the vendor by now I assume.

      Ok, stupid question, as I was on the right site (and was thinking about the whole Zophos/Sophos thing myself), but which product am I looking at for what was described?

      It's based on your Public IP.

      Only sometimes. It said that it could not determine it when I went to look into it. But normally, on the same IP, it sets to where I actually am. So it is not consistent.

      I get the theory, but that's not a reliable way to tell timezone.

      Based on what you've told me, the main uplink is usually satellite, right? That could be it. Or maybe it's relaying to another tower somewhere else.

      It's never going to be where your house it. It's wherever the ISP connects to the backbone/peering connections.

      That's what I'm saying.

      Nearly any sat link for this part of the world shows up as Belgium. I'm not on a sat, if I was, that's where it would likely terminate.

      Ok.

      Yeah, I see what you mean. Well, if I was able to make a viable thing to help out myself and my co-workers, that would be looked quite well on by many people.

      Maybe on day one. But if there are support issues, security issues, lack of features - it might become quite the opposite down the road.

      Also a fair statement. Because then it becomes "you made this, you need to continue dev and support for it", which to a degree I could do but then it becomes a second full-time job! Ok, scratching the idea to make a mass-produced system for everyone.

      I'm pretty sure you could use Zophos ManagedEngine system to do that.. Just customize a few things, and you should be able to get right on things.

      At least from what I've read of your requirements.

      Is that free?

      Yes. Both on premises and hosted.

      Nice! I will check it out! Thanks!
