Just because that's the way you think, knucklebusted, (linearly) doesn't mean that that is the way all people think. Linear is how left-brained, logical thinkers process ...but the right-brained, creative types are anything BUT linear thinkers. IMHO, this is a great opporuntity to gain insight into how other people see…

Read today's (11/12) question carefully! Don't get tripped up between finding "what version(s) you have" (found in one (actually two) place(s)) and "what version(s) should you be on" (found in another place). Two of the locations are listed as answers but only one is correct.

Thanks for looking into this, Danielle, and for holding the system accountable. Those pesky Gremlins! And congratulations to all the winners!! Can't wait for the May mission!

While I agree with you, davej, that the tone of the response was a bit on the sardoinc side, is there an alternative way of looking at this? Yes, one can say "Boy, that is a really sarcastic comment."...orrrrrrr One can say that whoever wrote the question was simply indicating where, on the page, we can find the answers…

Really? I only saw three. Curious where you found the fourth on the hint page. Even when I clicked on the four buttons at the left and did a CTRL+F, I couldn't find it... Might PM marcoswithanoh and let him know how you found it as he would probably like to know and, possibly, correct it.

I know you weren't specifically asking this Alex, but I'm going to answer anyway. "Will you please reboot the Internet?" Now I know what they're asking me to do: fix their computer because they can't get to Pintrest and Facebook. But I have sometimes gotten a little snarky with folks who ask me that and said something to…

smttysmth02gt...not to split hairs here, but why can't something be the name of a thing and also something the thing does? Take PING for instance...not only is it the name of the tool but it also describes what the tool does (albeit in acronymic form): Packet InterNet Groper. Crude, yes, but descriptive. So could the…

I know that this is going to be 74 or later, but it just goes to show that you never know from whence inspiration will come... It's time once again ladies and gentlemens, boys and girls, Damen und Herren, Mister and Misses America and all the ships at sea, for another... EARWORM ALERT! Now, you're probably saying to…

Too true, PGW! Again, it's that delicate balance of work and home life. I have seen several folks in another thread saying that they don't want to do anyting in this forum outside of "work", and I admire that. It also comes down to how badly do you (pl) want what you say you want. If you want something badly enough, you…

Oh, Rick, you shouldn't have...EARWORM ALERT!!! Uh, definitely NSFW but I'm sure a few of you remember this little "Doctor Dimento" gem... Meri Wilson - Telephone Man - YouTube

Just saw that the new season of "Battle Bots" is kicking off soon on Discovery! Been a while and I'm excited to see the lineup. Some new faces, to be sure, but some veterans are back. Let the battles begin!

sierra1011 I guess if that's all you could find wrong was one minor spelling error, I'll consider it a win. We all make mistakes it's true.

Oh, that made me smile big, acmtix! :-D "Kittywumpus" is another one that I use occasionally, meaning diagonally adjacent to something. I saw "Gobsmacked" (or is it "Godsmacked"?) on another post from Radioteacher and had to grin at that. I'm going to make a glaring assumption that you live somewhere in The Realm,…

Ausgezeichnet, HerrDoktor!!

Graeme, I don't want to offend and I'll assume your query is one of "I don't know what that means. Please enlighten me." (although with all the "snarkasm" floating around the mission this month, my Spidey sense is totally off!) so here goes. The term "Bada Bing" is an American colloquialism that stems from back East (New…

Speaking of WW2 Jeeps, I found this many years ago and my jaw dropped when I saw it. Yes, jm_sysadmin, things were simpler back then. disassembly and the assembly of the jeep in 3 minutes - YouTube

We stayed up until the Swedish team conceded in the 10th end but then crashed. I was so excited when John Shuster scored that 5-spot in the 8th! Beautiful curling. I've actually curled in the past but I'm so inflexible (muscle-wise) that I had a hard time getting my knees to go up into my chin, so I did something similar…

Maybe not an app, Rick, but an ancient set of keystrokes: CTRL+ALT+DEL! That is, of course, back when the "Three-finger salute" actually did something significant. How many companies in Corporate Amurka could stand a good, hard reboot?

Much better, DanielleH! Thanks for the fix/reset!

You made me smile big, petergwilson! Thank you!

Gonna miss you, Ben!! I wish we didn't live a thousand miles apart 'cause I'd love to sit down and have coffee (or tea or triplecappamochachilatte or whatever you like). You have been an outstanding member of this community and I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. You can lighten our door anytime!

Great advice, Rick. One other thing to consider, chipperrocks10, and it goes hand-in-hand with Mister/Doctor/MVP/All-around Good Egg Schroeder's comment, is doing a little BSA work and putting together some requirements documents. While It sounds like you have a grasp on dealing with the "Big Boss" and so this might be…

The streaming of audio is bothersome for me--I'm unwilling to tolerate advertisements or recurring billing fees. That sounds like a good, old fashioned conundrum there, Rick! Free=Ads, Paid=No ads (well, at least fewer of them) so do you just abstain, then, from the act altogether?

Great essay, adatole. I've known some "old-timers" like that in my day; guys who wear suspenders and have beards longer than my right arm, who can bang out UNIX/XENIX code in their sleep and still have time to say "Have a wonderful day!". The quote from Angelou is spot on and it is similar to a phrase that I have heard…

Pretty clever, marcoswithanoh! Using a pic file instead of a PDF so we are forced to actually READ the material! Brilliant, I say! Bloody BRILLIANT! To paraphrase a character from Seinfeld, "No CTRL+F for you! TWO WEEKS!"

I agree, chipperrocks10!. Mayhaps it's because we are all in the same boat; different sizes and shapes of said boat, but the same vessel nonetheless. We deal everyday with users and peers and supervisors and customers who are constantly increasing the demand for data, solutions, and dare I say it, punching bags. That has…

Great article, jordan.martin! One thing I am very aware of in my environment is(are) "point(s)-of-failure". What is between my gadget and my widget that will prevent the gadget from working should it fail? And, more importantly, how can I eliminate said failure points whenever and wherever possible? While not an…

Folks, look at the "Nodes" that are in warning, not the "Applications"...the answer is, as Ben mentioned, 3.
