@momurda said in This Is Who Is Teaching College:

Im talking about engineering as a specific example refuting what you and scott are saying that college is worthless. English Lit is worthless, nobody is going to argue that. Most humanities degrees are totally worthless, and I would question the intelligence of anybody spending 100,000 dollars to learn how to read books, or learn Social Studies for 4+ years.

College is not required to learn engineering. It can, in some instances, provide opportunities to explore areas of engineering that the average person might not have access, but certainly isn't required.

We hire engineers, and yes, they all have degrees, but we still have to teach them how we engineer our products. And, more to the point, we have non-degreed employees that know more about the engineering of our products and this industry then some of our degreed engineers.

If you have Windows Firewall disabled, re-enable it, then turn it off, but leave the service running, and see if the problems go away.

Start with one workstation and the server that appears to be dropping when writing.

Great post! - I will be bringing real maple syrup to the Straggle In Brunch for anyone that wants some for the Chicken and Waffles (or whatever else)

Well, I think you guys really RAIN'd on this guys parade. Good work.

@scottalanmiller - Otherwise, it looks like those of us who want to help have abandoned that community,

Understatement - Again!

We were going to have a Find SAM app that would track his cell phone, but that appears to be a dead issue now that the phone went swimming in the ocean. We even bought a domain name.

Max's Wine Dive in Austin at 11:30 this morning!

Can I join you? I'm ready..

Can you drive that in an hour?

goodness no... but I could join in spirit

spirits - FTFY - Drink lots of spirits

If someone wants to build the Where's SAM app that would be awesome. I'm not an app builder, so there's that. I do, however, have the domain WHERESSAM.COM that we can use

@scottalanmiller Thank you Scott. I see your forum replying technique has not changed. I always loved the way you break up the answers for multi-part posts.

For easier comprehension and better responses

Obviously, not for the Chamber

@scottalanmiller said in Camera for travel:

@Ambarishrh when in Panama I got @pchiodo hooked up with basically the same point and shoot that I do. So he can report on that.

It's *&^%$$()ing awesome. For an all around multi-purpose camera, it does a fantastic job. It's shock proof and water proof. I took some underwater pics and video in Jamaica and they turned out stellar! Highly recommend.

The other nice thing about hiring an MSP, specifically to consult for the initial advice is that you can hire them for a limited engagement just to get a feel for the overall project. Even as little as 10 hours can tell you a great many things. You don't have to get locked into some long term contract.

(would make @art_of_shred roll his eyes).

For this reason alone!

Does this somehow resemble the early days of that other tech community when "experts" would show up and get SAM'd?

@CCWTech said in Microsoft Licensing Verification Program: Is this a SAM Audit?:

License Verification Consultant

This is just a new flavor of the old game. Unless you get a certified letter (snail mail) from Microsoft, then you have no obligation to do anything. If, in fact, you do get a certified letter, still do not do anything except contact your attorney.

The clock is in my wallet??? How would anyone even get a clock in their wallet? How is this even helpful? LMAO

@eddiejennings Is that the modern day version of shredding?

pchiodo in the house. I've been here... after I left that other site a couple years back, I moved to Mango, where the real IT Pros go.
