I'm going to pick a nit this morning. Not sure why but coding for the hints has changed and it no longer opens the hint in a separate tab. As I prefaced, yes this is nitpicky but I sometimes like being able to switch back and forth between the hint and the question options. If it's not too much trouble, I (and possibly…

I love to use acronyms and my wife, God bless her, is always correcting me saying "Do you want to be technically superior or do you want to communicate?" That brings me back to reality so I have spent a lot of time checking myself and asking "Am I communicating this effectively?" My wife and I also have this back and forth…

"Ghetto Wedding" Just listened...OMG! Hilarious! I'm sure that was one of those "truth is funnier than fiction" moments. I'm not a huge Steve Harvey fan but that was some good material.

Thanks, marcoswithanoh! I thank you for the concession. As I mentioned, and this was the BSA in me coming out, I was merely pointing out the undocumented (at least to us) change to the code. Last week, the "target="_blank"" was there, this week it is not. If you were feeling frisky, you could go completely hog wild…

And there are some definite '80s references going on here...I mean, really:
-
But the "specific" report mentioned in the question is not available by default...and you're still going somewhere other than the hint page to find this information. If one stays on the hint page and ONLY the hint page that is presented by following the "Here's your hint" link, there will only be one correct answer. There…

And I just noticed the person's name on one of the tickets is "Edward Cash"...so, Eddie Money! Great job, team!!! :-D

First off, yumdarling, thanks for a new monthly mission! And a great topic this month, what with the roll-out of the new SWSD product. I do have a couple of questions right out of the gate, tho... 1) what are the document management capabilities within the knowledge base, specifically regarding version control? And 2) can…

And if I was to use your quote in my industry (Oil & Gas), our safety folks would have me in a noose lickety split! Fire and natural gas can be combustive bedfellows!

Question 3 for DoD folks:
-
I am surprised as well, David, that the percentage of SMBs is that high. Perhaps it's because cybercriminals realize that, in most cases, SMBs have put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into their business and because of that, have IP (Intellectual Property, not Internet Protocol ;-) and other assets that are just as…

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

I have long admired those folks who have the creative talent to compose music, poetry, prose, visual and graphic art and the like. I, myself, am a performer: you put a sheet of music in front of me and I can play it, even emote on it a little. But I can stare at a blank page or staff sheet for hours and nothing will come.…

I, too, went down the road of looking at the "Max Average": but when I answered A) 0-500KBs, that was incorrect. Is what I'm seeing not the "Max(imum value of the) Average (of transmit and receive B/s, which adds up to 'Network Utilization')"? Perhaps I went down the wrong Rabbit Hole, Alice...my wife does say that I have…

Great article, _stump, and thanks. I have long said that when we can plug the human brain into a machine, I'm becoming a Monk and moving to Tibet. Now while that might be a little bit of hyperbole, it underscores my fears that if we allow AI and ML to progress (we ARE, after all, the "creators"), will we be able to control…

A little transparency, here: I have a family member who had to wear one of those devices and it was no fun. They couldn't get it wet so had to keep the ankletted (is that a word? oh, well...made it up if not) leg outside the shower. It was miserable for them. But, on the flip side, I suppose if one does something that…

Well said, tallyrich! The one thing that has impressed me with the folks at THWACK and SW, with very few exceptions, is that they are real. Yes, they're geeks - aren't we all - but they are genuinely nice, kind people. And, what's more, they exude the joy they feel in doing their "job". Just watch Dez or adatole describe…
-
And with "More than 150,000" brethren and sistren here in the THWACK community, I think there might be more than a few Who do Who! Not to be confused with "All the Whos down in Whoville, the tall and the small...". That's another Mission...OOH! "How The Grinch Stole Your Bandwidth!"

Hmm, knucklebusted, that is an interesting point to ponder. Kind of like if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, does it make sound? There is a contestant on the TV show "The Voice" here in the US, Sarah Grace, who has a condition (of which I had never heard) called "Synesthesia", where she sees…

Same issue with IE. BTW, wabbott, I downloaded the trial of BAP and wanted to submit the screenshot requested in the "Mission Shortcut". I presume that by "Application Summary Page", you are referring to the "Orion Summary Home"...or are you? Just want to make sure I get the screenshot you are looking for.

adatole, you hit the Proverbial nail on the Proverbial head! Great message. I like what you said, "But a more usable lesson might be to let go of tools, techniques, and ideas when they become toxic to us. Even when they still appear to be useful, the wise IT pro understands when it is time to let go of the old before it…

Just black out any sensitive information...like answers to Mission Questions, right melonizame? Pay No Attention To That Man Behind The Curtain... - YouTube

"The system goes online August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m." Huh...20 years and we petty humans still haven't figured out how to, as stevenastem pointed out, keep you know what from going all, you know, what on…

I work for a company that employs a lot of folks who are not computer savvy. They know enough to do their job and not much else, nor do they WANT to know much else. We recently implemented a password policy that looks something like this: 1. Minimum password length: 16 characters 2. No more than three (3) repeating…

Any more, when I see a question like that (4/10), I just hold off answering because I'm pretty certain that a reset is coming.
-
Well that's awesome! I tried ^F and it found nothing, not even the word "and". I right clicked on the screen and got the dreaded "Save image as..." prompt. Now, that might've changed since early this morning...either that or I had not injected enough coffee! :-P
-
As far as I can tell, the questions did not change. I went ahead and answered them as they were and got the points but yeah, a little odd for sure. As mentioned, there was some turmoil at SW this past month so my guess is that this mission was caught up in that.

Melanie's article reminded me of a concept I learned many years ago called CANI - Constant And Never-ending Improvement (also with the double entendre of "I CAN"). One takeaway from learning this concept was to always be questioning everything: Why do we do what we do? Can this be done better, faster, more efficiently,…

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to the GEEKS for another great mission! See you at the Phoenix SWUG!

Congratulations to all the winners! Looking forward to another THWACKY mission next month! Can't believe that the summer is almost over.
