geosca, I can understand the confusion. While not stated verbatim, in the "5 Hints..." section, hint number 5 implies physical security: 5. Leverage regulatory requirements and audits as an opportunity to truly assess network risks and help ensure the security of your entire IT infrastructure—from perimeter to endpoint!…

One of my favorite songs of theirs (King Crimson) is "Elephant Talk". The opening to the song features their bassist/Stickist, Tony Levin, playing a wild groove on the Chapman Stick. Tony is also with a band called "Stick Men". He teamed up with Markus Reuter, etal., to form the progressive rock group and they've been…

More like "a dollar!" The chart you presented, Rick, assumes that the CPI-U is calculated on the same fixed "basket of goods" that it was in 1980. Problem is that in the early 1990s, Washingtonians changed from a "fixed" basket to a "variable" one, to substitute things like hamburger for steak and so on. Here is a chart…

Full disclosure, robertcbrowning: I nearly hit a cyclist the other day and it was totally my fault. The biker was ridiing on the sidewalk and I simply did not look to see him. Fortunately, he was able to veer and I was able to stop so we did not collide. But I did drive slowly up to him, roll down my window and profusely…

bob.com, are you currently using Meraki equipment? I'm curious about others' experiences. We are starting to transition to Meraki, and I actually have played with them a little. From what I can tell, Meraki offers a little bit of management insight, though nothing close to what Orion can do. I wonder if that's why SW has…

david.eckert@teammidwest.com, have you checked out the offline installer mentioned by betafish above? Or are you saying that it would interfere with an existing SQL installation?

Thanks for the 411, Peter! I think I like the sound of Papertrail better than Loggly, if for no other reason than I'm an admittedly lazy person and like the folks in WALL-E, might have a tough time lifting that pointer finger to hit the F5 key (yes, by golly, you do INDEED detect an entire SYMPHONY of sarcasm there... ;-).…

BTW, illustrious THWACKGeeks, and not to seem overly impatient, have we a winner of the Classic NES? Would love to get my (old fart's) game on!! And, yes, I AM an old fart. Not as old as some but probably older than many. And remember, in the words of the great "Indiana" Jones, "It's not the years [...] It's the mileage."

OK, gang! It's time for another...yes, you guessed it....EARWORM ALERT!!! Heard this on Dr. Dimento many, many years ago and it stuck with me... Timelords, The - Doctorin' The Tardis (1988) - KLF - YouTube

While I would love to win the Lego Death Star, I have my tractor beams aimed at the MakeBlock Ultimate 2.0 10-in-1 Kit w/ Electronics! My grandson is really into robots...and I just might have to test it out before I give it to him! Or....better yet, I'll just keep it at grandpa's house and he can play with it when he…

This might inspire you, Rick...or frustrate you! ;-) Either way, it's a great testiment to what a human can do when he or she puts his or her mind to it. And I like the principal of "live your values" that "Zero Waste Girl" promulgates. I know I have along a way to go in that.…

I could say something like wabbott is beautiful inside and out, and probably doesn't need sleep (nor does she get much, I'm sure, what with looking after us THWACKsters), but that might create a hotile work environment and then I'd get sent to HR, which I really don't want...so, I won't say it.
-
Sadly, no. Even rebooted my computer because microsquash products were misbehaving. I have not tried a different browser yet, nor have I looked into our firewall possibly blocking something (but I would think that, if that were the case, I wouldn't be able to get to THWACK.com at all...) but if you are able to see it then…

Congrats to all the winners!

I see what you're saying, Smitty, in that if an answer is there and it's a right answer, you should be able to click it and get it right. BUT...and this is a very big BUT, the correct answers for question 2 ONLY relate to what Goya Foods said were the reasons they adopted the product - as stated in the hint - not with what…
-
Not sure why the blog is being blocked by your firewall...works just fine for me. Do you work for DoD or some such organization? I know they are very strict on their whitelists. As for your guess... ...although it was a relatively soft lob today, huh yumdarling? ;-)

In my view, pony10, there is a world of difference. The new noise reducing and noise cancelling technologies have practically done away with any outside sounds. I wear a pair of Shure SE215s, which reduce noise to the point where all I hear is my drummer (and that's only because I'm right next to him!). The cancelling…
-
Interesting viewpoint, alang, but I am curious about the culture in the company for which you work. If it is, as you allude, more concerned with "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...or the one." then I would do whatever I could, if I were you, to stay there. Most of corporate America is 180 degrees…

That and his "One Man Christmas Carol", of which I have only seen blocks, was positiviely laudable!

Well, it would have, mandevil, had I not overthought things. Two areas, One "view" (even though the word "view" is not in the hint, but I'll ignore that...;-). And I don't mean to be whiner, just wanting to learn and understand how the product functions, that's all. Thanks for the feedback!

I like "stream of consciousness" as opposed to "rambling" but hey, I get your drift. And yes, you did answer my question. You sound a little like my wife: she has a hard time "unplugging" form her business and seems to work at it almost 24/7. I actually kidnapped her this past weekend and took her for a little overnight…

Three fingers, neat! Right with you, boys. A buddy of mine is really into Dewars so I will have that when we go over to his house for poker night. My go to has been (and probably always will be) the Glenlivet 18...did someone say "smooth as silk"? I thought so! Only trouble that I have a Macallan taste and a Jim Beam…

Thank you, wabbott, for the reset. Very grateful for everything you do to help out us nerds/geeks/general purveyors of mechanical mayhem! 8-)

You know bring up another layer of thought with regards to Trek, there, vcaldwell: TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Movies....not mention with Wars: 4-6, 1-3, 7-8 (9 will be here soon), "Stories", books! My, my, it's a "veritable smorgasbord" (much respect to the late, great to Paul Lynde, there, if you caught it!) of…

I rather like the idea of having a "mini tablet" sized device available to me for quick presentations and whatnot. Then to be able to fold it over and slip it in me pocket is totes magotes! (OK, admittedly I am NOT a Millennial so forgive my use of the generational jargon there...but it does seem totally rad, gnarly, phat,…

Hi, alankar.srivastava. A good rule of thumb when doing these missions is to read the comments before attempting to answer questions. In most cases, you do not need to guess at what an answer is. If I may direct your attention to yumdarling's post from 8/8/19, 11:59AM (MT): Hi everyone! Just talked to the writer of the…

I'm a big fan of "Digi-Nose :^)"; been using and reading them since the 90s. They work because they are compact bytes [SIC] of information that are easily digestible in the modern world. There's a little blurb put out by "WIRED" magazine called "Tech In Two", which is the same concept. To play a little opposite advocate…

With all due respect, green_bread, the THWACK GEEKS are not trying to "trick" anyone. And we ARE learning about the product; today's question is no different. Could it have been worded differently? Maybe. But would it have made a difference? Who knows. The fact is that there are 150,000+ people on this forum, which means…

Oh, AND the cockroach song: "Hey, Jude"!!! YESSSS!!!! "Na na na na na na na, na na na na, Hey Jude!" for FOUR FREAKING MINUTES!!!
