sqlrockstar​ ...excellent as always.... but what... no recipe? A replacement for Putty.... say it aint so... I said my piece on the Net-Neutrality fiasco in a post a few days back.. time will tell. Falsehoods - show me a programmer who hasn't uttered at least 15 of these lines and I will show you someone is not a…

Absolutely the toughest decision of this Battle Bracket. These were my top two favorites.... But Dr. Teeth and the crew are my favorite. The Muppet Show provided all kinds of entertainment for me and my kids... ANIMAL!!!!

Good luck to the team charged with making this change. We know it will be successful!!!! In the meantime I chant.... Oh where oh where has my favorite site gone Oh where oh where could Thwack be We've been cut off And I hope not long Oh where oh where can it be

The parenting graphs are spot on! As for self driving cars... great.... until some "genius" tries to overide the controls.... Powershell faux pas is another reason my office is still not on Windows 10.

Leon... I could not help but groan, nod my head and snicker as I read this. The larger the process, the longer the time to change. The balancing act is to make the business better and more efficient versus the needed checks, balances, code reviews, back out plans and appropriate notifications. Change Control is the living…

Terrific job putting this together ian0x0r .... A daunting task for sure.. I'm sure this will help quite a few folks out there.

Welcome back... post away!!! We'll be waiting....

Excellent points.... Terrific article

Deep Fried Kool-aid .... Where has this been all my life! As for comments in code... the 3 am you often needs a touch inspiration when solving problems. Just do it.... someone will thank you and it might not even be you! A belated Happy Canada Day and Independence Day!!!

It's been fixed... just check the completed survey box... (if true...)

My dad taught me to "learn as much as you can because they can never take it away from you!" ... That's what drives me! Also, I saw way too many "experts" in silos in the late 80's and early 90's be out of work because they thought what they knew would always keep them employed... Great article and your points are spot on!

While all of this is interesting, fascinating and thought provoking.... Somehow I still wonder if in the future.... we wander into the AI of Space Above and Beyond.

Ring... and other IOT "miracles" Can we all agree that this stuff is inherently insecure and abide by the ancient proverb Caveat Emptor? Shields up folks!!!

Used cars.... last year I bought a "certified" used car. I went to ad my phone for bluetooth and was very surprised to find the that the phones of the previous owners were still there in the system... Live and learn! Ransomware and phones - I think this will get more attention by some as the device has become and extension…

COVID-19 vs. The IT PRO?

Great piece..... my 2 cents.. On IPv6 .... a part of the 90% we have a couple of vendors who license by workstation (IPv4) (don't say it!!!") Security - I've tried in the last 6 months to increase awareness of security in everything we do... results are improving. My advice is to make folks aware that they indeed are part…

You know it!

nicely done winners... on to the next mission!

@"Radioteacher" Looks good! Good luck on the new house! My wife and I manage to stay in different orbits. She stayed on main floor (and painted every room I might add). I was relegated to the basement. In fact, when Covid-19 hit I was forced to build some 40-50 laptops for remote use over a weekend..... in my basement on…

Feel your pain!!! Well said...

Well said !!!!

Voted... Love LEM!!!

In the end it's a two way street....

Thanks for making a great resource even better.

Huey Lewis.... "I'm going back in time....." RansomWare... yup... time to feed the warp drives Scotty! Passwords: The JPM example is classic... How soon before the secret decoder ring is needed for passwords? Maps and cars: Makes sense as a lot of cars have electronic suspensions and "self-driving" trend is all the rage of…

Monitor only for what YOU need.... Report the only the important... Less is more!!

I agree..

One of the neat this about the situation has been I've actually met most of my neighbors (I live in an area secluded between two busy roads). It's only been 18 months since I moved here, but during my walks I was able to see and meet them, their kids and dogs. Everyone is always concerned about how the other person is…
