  • Well, Rick, you and I are of a different generation, to be sure. Hence my desire to rid the world of such jargon. Much like I wanted to rid the world of the word "aight" back about 10-15 years ago. <SOAPBOX>Sorry, but using contractions and poor grammar and then expecting the world to embrace it a different language simply…
  • Might this help, adatole​? It IS Cyber Monday, after all:
  • But, smttysmth02gt​, the question specifically asked: What aspects of SolarWinds Service Desk made selecting our product an easy decision for Goya Foods? The hint clearly indicates what the "aspects" were (there were only three), as determined by Goya Foods. And the subsequent text that came up after answering the question…
  • But now you're getting into the area of sentience, Rick. What is "The Measure Of A Man" (or machine)? I think we are headed to autonomy at some point, and while Asimov's "laws" might have been fantasy back when he wrote them, carry that forward to X number of years from now, when machines are able to "think" independently.…
  • Most repectfully, ebradford while you can perform the tasks you are describing, I think that might be a little deeper than the Geeks wanted us to go. This is from the main page to which the link takes you, scrolling down a bit to the middle (posted earlier for our DoD friends):
  • Pip, pip! Cheerio! And all that rubbish! Oh, petergwilson​! I do think hades has frozen over, my friend! ;-) And to your point, we "Yanks" do have a different language than you "Brits", for sure. Even though the phonemes are similar, if not the same, there are definitely different idioms that "The Queen's English" has that…
  • ebradford​, while I appreciate that your tongue is planted firmly in your cheek here, I would argue that NOT implmenting ITIL would "irrationally" lead "to an unlucky Doomsday". And I presume your tongue was also in your cheek (IOW you were just pulling DanielleH​'s leg) when you asked about the title. Probably the best…
  • I think it's "Thrusters at station-keeping" until we get the word from the Grand Poobahs, DanielleH​ and thegreateebzies​.
  • Interesting, melonizame​, that you prefer pages and not having to scroll...I personally would prefer having nested conversations. To each their own, I guess, and that's what makes this such an awesome world: diversity! I asked marcoswithanoh​ about it a little while back, which is the only reason I know that 100 comments…
  • Is it just me or does that spaceship look a whole lot like Chester Cheetah? Just sayin'...
  • Someone's tongue was planted very firmly in cheek this morning...
  • Uh, I hope that wasn't intended as a "Master Class" there, Peter... ;-)
  • That's great to hear, pony10​! I wish you the best. I'm sure the "honeydew" list will grow as you go. It seems like the norm these days is that bigger banks are gobbling up smaller ones, and at an alarming rate. My wife and I had been banking with a local, home grown bank in Northern Colorado called Home State Bank. Home…
  • Kind of like the old saying in Real Estate: the three most important things about buying a property are...location, location, location! I think we've all got quadruple vision on this one! ;-)
  • Just completed the question and it was totally different than it was this morning. BTW, for our DoD friends:
  • Very nice, simpsodi​! Good ole Gypsy feel to it, that's for sure. And it's good to see younger bands embracing the classic songs and sounds. Talented group.
  • The FITB today was fine...I just wish I had my BttF DeLorean Time Machine so I could go back and pay closer attention on question 1! It's all good, Marcos, and thanks for all you do for us!
  • meyer837​, I ran the process on my personal machine at home last night and it took almost nine hours to complete. Now, considering it scanned 11,000+ files, and it had to parse all those files looking for NPI (non-public information), i would say that's not too shabby. Very eye-opening results, too...:-O
  • Since the only stupid question is the one that goes un-asked, here's a doosie: how does one access the "self-service" "automated" system to create their account and assign their access rights? I must presume (not @$$-u-me!) that there is a cloud-based portion that then ties back to corporate AD and generates the account,…
  • Thought-provoking, knucklebusted​. It begs the questions: If one knows only of dark, can one ever know what light truly is? If one knows only silence, can one ever know what sound truly is? Is emotion tied to external stimuli or is it the other way 'round? It is proven that when one or more of the five human senses is…
  • Oh, I'm very familiar with Finalé...I actually still have a very old copy from my college days! If it's any indication as to how old it is, the required O/S is Windows 3.1! Back then (30 years ago) it was a $3,000 plus product so I'm glad to hear they finalé [sic] brought the price down. I also used ProComposer on Mac but…
  • Should've read the threads before answering..."multi-context support" no es bueno! Oh, well, who wants a FireStick and Thwammock anyway...um, ME!!! :-(
  • I like your snarkasm, tstark@logixhealth.com​...we have a Ring and the thing that drives me crazy are the motion alerts. I've tried dialing it back, around, up, down and sideways and it still keeps yelling at us every time a car leaves or enters the cul-de-sac. I think I would go for something different but yeah, good ole…
  • This is one of those situations that I think I like the "idea" of SDN/SD-WAN as opposed to the actual thing itself. Kind of like my wife and I love cuddling and snuggling with OTHER PEOPLE'S puppies, but we're not sure we actually want one ourselves. Lots of maintenance; taking it out to potty; vet bills, etc. Gee, that…
  • rschroeder I am pleased and impressed to see the cap doffed to the great Robert Frost..."Road Not Taken" is one of my all-time favorite poems. And I doff mine cap to thee, good sir, for such magnificent work as this. Well done!
  • I do believe you, Peter, and it suprises me not. I don't know if this was a fable or real-life but I remember reading about a company that was doing an audit of their Windows NT Server environment, and had physically accounted for every server except one: a small, little-used server that sat in the domain and had been…
  • Probably the worst musical instrument joke I've ever heard (and I've heard my fair share) came about because of the Persian Gulf Conflict: Q: What do a Viola and a Scud Missile have in common? A: They're both offensive and they're both inaccurate! Badump bump! Yes, thank you folks. I'm here all week...well, all month,…
  • You and I are from the same era, rschroeder! I remember the term "vaporware" from wayyyyyy back in the day. When I got my first "professional" IT job (well, actually it was a sales position) back in '92, many companies over-promised and under-delivered when it came to "off-the-rack" software. "We'll have it for you in six…
  • "Man Cave", "Lady Lair", "She Shed"...there must be something to describe a nerd's/geek's retreat.
  • This is a wonderful article, exchangegoddess, and very thoughtfully written. It is a crying shame that more companies do not seek out "Thought Leaders" and TRUE "Transformational Leaders"; those who want to really want to affect change in the world and the company. It has been my experience, sadly, that the old "silo"…
