Might double-check your selection, melonizame...the wording for three of the answers is similar, but only one is exactly correct. That's where I got tripped up this morning.

The missions just keep getting better and better! And the prizes...OMG!! Laptops and iPads and speakers, OH MY! I challenge anyone to find a company that (in essence) pays YOU to demo and learn about its products. It just does not happen.

Does anyone remember the early days of Windows "Server" when you had to have the 7-8 character usernames? I still come across some of those legacy accounts in our organization. Oh, how times have changed. We do have another issue that our server geeks still can't seem to get right and that is the correlation between…

Thanks, ecklerwr1! That's an image I can't unsee!

You are absolutely spot on, ebradford, that Full Service stations have pretty much gone the way of the Dodo. I know of one station in Northern Colorado that offers Full Service and no, I don't use it but it's not just because of cost; it's also because of convenience: it's 10 miles from my house. Were it closer, I might -…

Meh, not my finest month but as Rick alluded to above, there's always next [month]. I love learning about SolarWinds' product portfolio in such unique and entertaining fora. Vive la THWACK!

WOW! FrontPage!! I remember having the '95 version of that program and it was how I got started in web design...until I realized how much bloat and junk it adds to the code! I also remember hand-coding a webpage in HTML4 back in the early 2000s and being amazed at how elegant and streamlined it was. I'm sure you…

Most respectfully,rschroeder, if one hovers over the red indicator label, the flyout offers some insight as to what is shown, which is what was asked ("What is the 'latency'[...]"):

Typically, and yumdarling certainly has the prerogative to do things differently, the mission concludes with a survey on what you thought of the mission and what you'd like to see in future missions. If you can do the survey and give some feedback to the THWACK GEEKS, you're home free tomorrow...unless Yum decides to break…

Not that I have answered yet but the only thing I can think is that parts 1 and 2 are really one thing, and part 3 is another. Because FIPS 140-2 has to do with encryption, it could be interpreted that the "Better security over the organization's data" could be a comma-spliced modifier of "FIPS 140-2 compatibility" and…

I hear what you're saying, petergwilson, but if we're going to talk concern over outsourcing and the component level of equipment, is it not possible that even Cisco or F2 could have components that could be compromised? Like in the financial field, FINCEN keeps an eye on "countries of interest" when it comes to money…

You're kinda twisting my words and meaning around, there, rschroeder...and I LIKE IT!!

Ah, understood and sorry.

Thanks, wabbott! You bloody well ROCK!!

...the millisecond after the first sysadmin clicked [Yes] to "Are you absolutely, positively, unequivocally certain that you really, really, really, REALLY want to delete this account?"

Since I'm a musician, I do pronounce it "for-TAY" because that's the Italian word "loud" and that's what I'm used to. But it appears that this is almost as bad as "Laurel" and "Yanni": pronunciation - Is "forte" pronounced "fort" or "for-tay"? - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange

As a follow-on to my previous comment about "Where there's a will there's a way.", I think we in the "light" world often take for granted that the selling and buying of information on the "dark web" is HUUUGE business. We've seen some of the numbers, and the "dark web" has been around for decades - LITERALLY, but only in…

I have a friend at work who always brings up the debate: Trek vs. Wars. I'm in the "Both / And" camp and he is in the "Either / Or". He is a die-hard Wars fan (except that he is getting tired of Disney milking the franchise) and has even told me, "Down with trekkies!" (even though we're not called "Trekkies" anymore, but…

This is AWESOME!!! So excited about the new system. I look forward to THWACK 2.0 (or whatever revision you're on right now ;-)! Congrats to everyone on the team. Having done a rather involved Oracle migration many years ago, I can certainly empathize with what you all have gone through these past weeks, months and probably…

I found the "Help" to be quite "help"ful on today's (3/22) question...

ebradford and all: the August "Monthly Mission" is actually broken into two "Mini-Missions" this time. Find the first here: THWACK [MINI] MISSION: SAM/VMAN . The second will come in the back half of the month and appears to be another mini-mission. Same number of questions and points, just a leetle different format.

Hi, emoyers, and thanks for the reply. The link you posted appears to be the same as what is in the hint already but it actually should be: https://www.solarwinds.com/solutions/azure-cloud-solutions#anchor2 The "anchor2" Jump-Link is what I was getting at, so that it takes one straight to the page section that one needs…

Ausgezeichnet, HerrDoktor! I love Bob Ross! He was such a mild-mannered individual and every time he said "Happy little tree" or "Happy little cloud" - even though it was corny, cheesy, and downright juvenille - I just had to smile! Still do, as a matter of fact. Danke schön for the heart-warming grin this AM!
-
Thanks, adatole, for putting this together, and to all the contributors and respondents. I really, REALLY enjoyed this "mission", even though I had to miss the last few days (that saying "No rest for the wicked"? Yeah, I was NOT wicked! ;-) Off we go into 2019...make it a GREAT YEAR, everyone!

Thank you, Yum!

Sorry, petergwilson, but it's another EARWORM ALERT!!! "I'm just a robot and I know my place. A metal servant to the human race. I work my can off trying to satisfy. I know they'll disconnect me by and by..." For thems of yous what listened to Doctor Dimento back in the day, you know this song ("Marvin" by Stephen Moore)…

The story goes that Stephen Stills, lead singer of the band Buffalo Springfield, was in his manager's office, and the manager asked if he had anything new. Apparently, Stephen said, "Well, I've got this song, for what it's worth..." and the title stuck. I agree, it is a bit of a downer and very politically charged,…

@"undesired_result" , link is correct (video is titled "Change Management 101"). In the video, @"KMSigma.SWI" does mention the answers but does not mention them with exactly the same wording as the answers in the question. The answers are also listed on the screen and while not exactly the same as the question, they are…
-
Ah, Steven! You made me smile big so thank you for that! I hadn't even gone at it from the legal/liability side but you're correct: we live in an ultra-litigious world. People seem to be inclined to sue you for just looking at them cockeyed. I have heard tell that our courts are so full of frivolous cases (that should…

Oh, Yum! You made me smile big!!! Thank you for that. I wish there were more "Like!" buttons, Yum...You are awesome!
