Dealig with Verizon and Spectrum outages in upstate NY due to the storm. Honestly it isn't even a hurricane there should not be any issues.

Rural PA - the pairs get crusty in a nice summer shower.

Oldie, but a goodie. Running Scared -- Billy Crystal & Gregory Hines.

Anyone know of a "role playing game", and I use that lightly, that gives you the feeling of traditional D&D... but instead of D&D-like game play is more of a murder or other type of mystery? Can be fantasy, or not, but where you can buy like mystery stories and run a "campaign" where the players have to solve whatever mystery there is?

Maybe Gabriel Knight - a Sierra point and click. Old stuff. Maybe on GOG.

I know that there's more than one DiGiori in the world, but I suspect that this is the same person that I think he is. We went to college and worked together in the late 70's, early 80's. He has perfect pitch.... tunes pianos by hand or ear as is the case and has been verified by machine after the fact.

Man, that just evil...

I call it the Hot Dog Slicer 1000. It slices, it dices, it cuts hotdogs at least 3 different ways. If you are interested in our upgraded Slicer 3000, it includes not one, not two, but three blades for the price of two!

Call now! Operators are standing by.

Don't forget julienne fries

Good stuff, although I prefer Molson Golden Ale

I fixed one of those 15 or 20 years ago. They ran W98 and the boy's had a pedal and wheel as well. The boy I fixed it for was a mongoloid child of a friend of mine. He was very happy.

Just found out that the world's busiest airport is now DFW.

Cant say I am not surprised, it is massive, so the volume they can handle....

O'hare was considered the busiest for a long time.

Yep. Spinners only. I've been successful 3 out of 12 times

Thought I was the only one that ever used that trick.

I've a had similar success rate. Just make sure when you power it up, you get what you need, because it may not happen a 2nd time!

I got away with it once. I stood it on it's side and blew a window fan on it once it started to heat up.

PA just moved to mandatory masks indoors, again, yesterday.

Pittsburgh Dad - YouTube
He's a local favorite.... made a couple of local commercials. Sold out 500 Pittsburgh Dad bobble heads in two hours.

Fighting Windows Xp ( i know , I know. Nothing I can do ... ) on a read only issue. No idea why the folder is stuck in Read only- I also know that is generally ignored by XP on Folders, But This Terminal (being an all in one) wont start up correctly.
Legacy equipment gives me a headache.

Have you ever tried the attrib command from the cmd prompt? Open a cmd windows in administrator mode and type in help attrib. It may help you past issues that you can't correct from the file explorer. Something like attrib <file name> -r to remove the read only attribute. Don't use my example. I don't remember the syntax off the top of my head. Google it for more.

I think that you can add an exception to the UAC console for the .exe. It may also call another file during execution and could trigger on the 1st one for bad behavior. Process explorer from Sysinternals should show up calls and handles connected to this app.

@scotth So same as the private network or the domain network?

It is odd that it only finds the original 10 cameras and nothing that I add, even if adding to the original switch in the shop.

I'm not aware of your network scheme. I couldn't advise without specifics.

That's really cool.

I just hate there's the taint of their backdoor nonsense from a while ago

Did you just casual drop "backdoor" and "taint" in the same technical sentence?

tee-hee

Those will be back ordered soon, I'm sure.

It's like Reddit bleed-over

I tried changing it to a 192 but it required a default Gateway and usually don't use one for 192.

So set one - a fake one. Then it should just work.

You could try setting the gateway to the IP of the milestone pc

Spectrum appears to be having some network issues all my Spectrum connected sites have been bouncing up/down for last 5 minutes and some home user's can't connect in either.

We have 2 sites in Central-Western Pa and both are holding fine. They are fed out of NE Ohio.

As someone who works for an Avaya partner/reseller I can't wait to find out more about this whole Avaya Cloud offering staring RingCentral.

I've been contacted by no less than 3 partner/resellers about this. I simply haven't had the time to do more about it other than to attend a presentation. No nuts and bolts, just slides & a few questions.

It's RC and Avaya, no real reason to look at it. Your time matters, so looking at solutions you know aren't realistic are important to skip to make sure you have time for what's needed.

RC is a decent solution for the right need. It is a limited scope IMO, but it is valid.

Avaya on the other hand is just a cesspool. Bankruptcy to NYSE listing in 2 years? Yeah, money grab.

It's also not their 1st bankruptcy if I remember correctly. I didn't recommend this when we upgraded, but the boys went with brand recognition over looking deeper into alternatives.
