Great reads as always. I'm currently visiting the UK and can't find anyone that voted to leave the EU. Who are the folk wanting out? I've asked several people and everyone I asked voted to stay in the EU. Funny thing though, the passport agent at the airport was trying to be funny because I went through the EU line in…

Happy little switches and routers. I like it.

Dang. When I went by the platform 9 3/4 there were so many people I could only take a picture from a distance. Thanks again for the reads. I will definitely use the MiseryMap app next time I fly.

Great reads again, Thanks. I'm too very surprised that Yahoo went for that much and that it once was worth 150$billion. I especially like the wifi article. It's a little sad how much people will risk to save a couple mb's of data when they're away from their home wifi.

Good point. Maybe it can delivery you to the second or third floor?

I completely agree with bsciencefiction.tv that life would be so much easier if we had a whole bunch less warm bodies replaced by just a few ninjas and top guns. There'd definitely be some hardware upgrades to my now ancient'ish laptop and most importantly I'd have a slide down to the cafeteria and electric scooters to use…

Please tell me that Frogger will be available again during this maintenance window. If so, please keep track of the High Scores.

Congrats to ALL​ new and returning MVPs.

Still can't believe that Kirk is out.

For us, "Knowing the Value of our monitoring" has to be a top priority. We have duplicate tools being controlled by different business units. If our uppers could see the benefit of monitoring across the board and not just little snippets here and there our jobs would be so much easier and we could save some $$ by…

Thanks for the links. The animation is pretty neat.

Been using Windows 10 at home for months and hopefully will be in the pilot group when we roll it out at work. Which reminds me that I need to bug the image guys next week and see where they are. Enjoyed the write up and thanks for the links.

I like the concept of keeping it simple and I'll need to read in to the USE method some more. Thanks

....and the points are awarded right away? You get my vote for "Best Feature Enhancement Of The Year".

Something is not right with Q2. I'm very sure I picked the answer with exactly the same wording in the hint but got a red X.

mrs.alterego​ I forgot to mention that I un-linked my account, re-linked it and was credited the 2K right away. Thanks again

I'd like to also say that njoylif​ had some really interesting slides to show of and that I know who I'm hitting up next time I'm stuck with a sql query. Thanks bsciencefiction.tv​ for coming along and thanks to Solarwinds for putting the meeting together.

One and two are spot on. Nice read. Thanks

1982: Opened the box to my ZX Spectrum, hooked it up and stared at a blinking prompt for two days......then went to town with it. mmmm BASIC. 1985 - 1987: Interned at the European Space Agency cleaning magnetic tapes for Meteosat and other projects 1990 - 2000: Was one of the first Desktop technicians @ ESA replacing dumb…

We also have a domain policy which does not allow writing to USB drives. eSATA is my friend.

Great read and thanks for the whole series. Hallelujah to getting different "Teams" working together. It's a huge culture shift but it will make our jobs so much easier.

Thanks for the links. BTW the disk shredder is awesome. We had a company come by our office and destroy stacks of disks and it was quite impressive.

That's the second positive feedback you've left for your company. Are you looking for a raise? 

There are 3 options at the top of the thread but I'm not sure if you can change the default behavior.

Maybe next time. The topic sounds good though.

I can't say I've seen the multiple issues in one email problem myself but we find that a lot of times when users create tickets through emails, they don't really know what they are asking for or they don't know how to use the correct terminology and our helpdesk people have to call them and clarify before anything can be…

'tis done.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen adieu......... Very sorry to see you go but THANK YOU for all you've done. I wish you all the best in your future venture and look forward to having you on our side of the Thwack world.

The word between the wheels makes me wonder how one exits this vehicle.

Congrats guys.
