Is that thing that Doug Quaid had to stick the "self-guiding" doohicky up his snoz to retrieve? Darned good thing he didn't accidentally pull the pin! <KAKAKAKABOOOOM!> "Uh, cleanup on aisle five...gray matter, bone shards, lotta red stuff."

BTW, don't know if anyone else had a problem with getting the PDF to render in IE11 but I tried it in Chrome and it worked fine.

Whether one attributes the quote to The Bible, The French National Convention, or "Uncle Ben", the saying is no less true: "With great power comes great responsibility." While I do not argue the point that AI is here, I do bring up the question: who will be responsible? If we, as humans, can construct a thing, can we (and…

That looks vaguely like an old Victor Victrola, there, bobmarley! Very cool. My brother-in-law has one of these and it's quite fitting since his name is "Victor"!
-
Oh, Peter, you done it again! Made me smile big! It is true that we "Amurkins" do speak "Amurkin English" and not "The King's (or Queen's) English" but since "English" - whichever flavor you like - is a Germanic language, then aren't we all "non-native"? I found this article and, sorry to say for the Brits, "Amurkins" are…

That reminds me of "Darkman"...although IMHO, one of the worst pieces of celluloid trash ever to be presented. It was so weird seeing Benny (Larry Drake) from L.A. Law as a villain who uses a cigar cutter to, uh, relieve people of their excess digits. EEEWWWWW! Sorry, snap back to reality. One movie that I thought did a…

Is that like a "reverse brown-out"? My heart goes out to you and all those caught in the grips of this "Polar Vortex". It was 24 here this morning and I was thinking to myself what a cold winter we've had but that's nothing compred to -32! That is unimaginably frigid, especially for places other than the poles. Stay warm,…

So, wabbott, I went to resubmit the right screenshot and it says I already completed the survey. Is that something that can be reset or did I mess up...?

It's funny you mention that song, ebradford, because I remember watching AITF when I was growing up and the way Carrol O'Connor sang the first lyric of that song, with a heavy "New York/Jersey" accent, I thought he was saying something totally different than "Boy, the way Glenn Miller played". The not so funny thing is…

Ah, technology: Great when it works, horrible when it don't! Thanks for the update, Danielle, and best of luck chasing down your Gremlin! Remember, don't feed them after midnight!

Hey, @wabbott, would you happen to know if there is an offline installer for LM? Since I cannot run this on our production server without special dispensation, I will need to build a test enviornment, with a 2012 Windows server and a handful of clients, that has no access to the intarwebs. Would be greatly appreciated! I…

Congrats, erdogan! Enjoy tripping around the galaxy!

Great question, monitoringlife. Our policy is that all changes MUST be documented. Good thing we have SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager running, which captures every update to every config at every location in the company - and no, again, I do not work for SolarWinds! Our CCB oversees major infrastructure changes,…

10% of nothing is still....oh, man, pat_m, that reminds me of another EARWORM ALERT! Classic soul from Billy Preston... Billy Preston - Nothing From Nothing (1974) - YouTube

Oh, SNAP! jdeakin1 won! Congrats.

And I won't even start on "to", "too" and "two". It's "to" much and it's going "two" drive me "too" times insane!!! If you ever want a great example of how the Amurkin English language is soooooo messed up (not to mention a good stitch in your side from laughing so hard), look up Gallagher and English Language on YouTube.…

Then, respectfully, we will agree to disagree. Hints are not needed with any of the questions. The questions are not subjective. And it has nothing to do with my personal experience running a help desk. It has to do with common sense. From question 2 (as you indicated there is "[...] not a clear winner."): "B. Ignore them…
-
To your point, meyer837, about there not being a main feature descriptor on the hint page, you are correct. There are bullet points of the main features, but not a "line" as you mentioned. If, however, you look at the datasheet (and mayhaps it would've been more effective to link to it for the hint), the first paragraph…

Showing my (lack of) age, here, but Tom Baker was The Doctor to me and always will be. Watched him on PBS growing up in the 70's. Kind of like Roger Moore will always be Bond, although Connery was pretty awesome as well...ooh, a Bond theme!!! Probably been done, tho.
-
Good thing, too, because the "hint(s)" is(are) not very helpful this trip. To quote Willie Dixon, "Great GOOGL[e]Y MOOGLY!"
-
You are dead on, Rick, and I agree with everything you said. Because we exist in such a fluid and dynamic world these days, it is pretty near impossible to end up EXACTLY where you started out to get. Even making minor course corrections, like Apollo 11 did, we are still "off course" 90+% of the time. I believe that all we…
-
If I was to hazard a guess, jrounkles, they have folks out on holiday but you are correct in that the last two question have been repeats. I'm sure that the lovely and talented DanielleH is all over this and things will be back on track in no time.

I have a distinct feeling that a reset will be coming on Q16...not sure why; just a hunch. It's not April 1st here in the US - at least not yet - so that's not it. Mayhaps a little of Fourbucks newest marketing ploy is required:
-
Ah, pony10, you hearken me even farther back into the annals of automotive history! How many of you remember when cars had no air conditioning (or, rather, the "450 system", which was 4 windows down and 50 miles an hour down the highway!) and heaters were an aftermarket add-on post sale? Oh, yes, those were the days, my…

I'm glad I did read the comments today as I probably would have selected an incorrect answer. Like bmallon, I was starting down the path of "Single Interface" but after viewing the video, the correct answer is quite clear. And I haven't even had my coffee yet this morning!! ;-)

Great article, KMSigma, and thanks for sharing. Being a (former) BSA, I like learning new ways of analogizing IT so that it makes sense to non-IT folk. I also like the "house/street/neighborhood" analogy when talking IP addressing. Your article reminds me of story...oh, well, I don't want to be long winded. Suffice to say…
-
Yeah, sierra1011, have to admit that I'm a little jelly on this one. Enjoy your adventures "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and congrats to you and all the winners this month!

Very good article. In the O/G world, we use compressors that have built-in, albeit somewhat archaic, electronics for monitoring speed, compression rate, etc. Where I could see a "digital twin" of value in these cases is that our equipment analysts must go out periodically and take readings from the engine. If they could…
-
We did, jasonstak2079...methinks there might be another "Reset/New Question" in our future (which will make folks happy, I know ;-) but we'll see what marcoswithanoh has to say. Like you said, I'm always happy for "gimme" shots but as the old adage goes, "There ain't no such thing as a 'free lunch'!". But maybe there…

I admire your chivalry, chipperrocks10, and I commend you for it. Not many people would willingly fall on their sword. And, while I am married as well, I think healthy disagreement can be a good thing in any relationship. The thing that had me in "analysis paralysis" with this question was the whole "security" versus…
