The question asked what he called out, not what was possible - and in the video he pretty specifically called out several sets of people

even worse was specifically circumventing the "don't track me" features in Safari and claiming not to be doing it. People keep forgiving google because features are provided for "free" I personally don't want that kind of free

when did you answer the question? If it was after the reset you may have just got it wrong

congratulations you guys, that is a great prize - and Austin is a great town to visit

I find it so frustrating that some managers seem to think that outsourcing means there is a transfer of responsibility

that sounds extremely cool Are you able to share how you did that?

I know enough bash scripting to be dangerous Powershell is next for sure though

one day I'll win something, although if I'm honest I'd prefer the one time I win something to be the lottery or similar 

just have to remember the focus of the challenge - put it into context

will miss him

that's funny - I commented on that one as well but forgot about it

just starting down this road just to get logging going, plan on getting it started at least before intrusion protecting the intrusion protection

Zenworks Configuration Manager from Novell Does Win, Mac, Linux etc - Imaging, app deployment, policies, inventory etc etc

this is a huge migration, thank you for all the work you've put in - can't wait to see our new home

neat layout, that will be useful this year

delaying points that long is likely to unhinge some folks on here

the idea of spending Cisco money on base level appliance lighting is crazy - as you say, a white box switch is fine, but not Cisco thanks. As rschroeder​ has already mentioned. Once you're powering all these things from the data closets, all that power has to come from somewhere and most data closets just don't have either…

my fave Needing to resize two partitions on a single disk. For good measure copied all the data from C: to D: checked it to be sure run fdisk and deleted the partitions and make one big partition reboot to find no data or OS THEN noticed the flaw in the plan while thanking tape backups......

Cue the ministry of silly walks

there was a link to it further up the comments http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N:2040

We use NPM, SAM and have a small number of WPM license to monitor specific websites. My goal is to monitor the website as a "service bundle" that specifically monitors those things which indicate performance so that we have a handle on what we are providing to our customers is effective.

Wholeheartedly agree with many of these predictions kong.yang‌ The drum beat of DevOps continues to get louder as more folks begin to see its value. patrick.hubbard‌ I thought 2015 would bring a serious cloud data breach, its only a matter of time. We have already started to see a slow migration away from an IT only…

I love this one Don't let your desire for structure consume you Learning to avoid the whole religious debates and restrictions is really hard for some folks, usually not based on any real business reason but instead unwillingness to admit a personal lack of knowledge.

Outstanding! Can't wait to get started on the upgrade

nope - there was a link on Linkedin, but no message on twitter

None of my Devs have any chance of being able to figure out Ops - so this will almost certainly never happen for me. Sorted

I OK with most of that - except for the "wait for users to complain" part. Thing I always try to remind folks of is that the services we are providing only exist for serving the needs of the business. If its a battle between the needs of the business and a technically perfect server utilization curve - the business wins…

grateful to have you keeping everything on track Kristen, you are very much appreciated here 

Oh for sure for the DBA comments and fully agree. But I was meaning that I still have to hire and retain an admin for the linux OS - which is much more costly and harder to retain.

modern data visualizations are (mostly) getting better and better. Recently attended a class about it that spent a lot of time talking about static/printed visualization - fascinating subject when you realize the impact, especially when you connect it to UI design. It ain't just about making stats look pretty - its about…
