Yes. I had a slight wobble over that too. I guess it is the difference between English and American. Latest would have been a better word as, I agree, Last wouldn't be the latest one. It would be the one before. Date was still wrong though. I just picked the nearest one.

Please don't install those happy or not buttons here. I know how bad the responses would be but I'm sure the people who implemented it would get rewards and promotions even though they would be the same people who cause the unhappiness in the first place.

Marvin the paranoid android. Wins every time as he bores everyone to death.

Bloody VMWare. We have some 'experts' from VMWare in at present helping us the design, install and configure NSX. I think they are making it more complicated than it needs to be. Hope you didn't get caught up in VMWare's heavy handedness. VMware 'pressured' hotel to shut down tech event close to VMworld, IGEL sues resort…

Just what we need. More crap in low Earth orbit. It will soon be impossible to actually launch the spaceships we will need to escape Earth and explore the stars.

Good v Evil Love v Hate Marathon v Snickers

For joepoutre Nope, we just buy it at Christmas -d'oh. Given the Turkey was first domesticated in Mexico, it is one of those immigrants that Trump wants to send back. I guess the 'wall' wouldn't keep them out though.

Yep, requirements are certainly changing. Old school SANs are being replaced everywhere. 

Not puzzling at all. The date and time of your original posting have changed. How else would you explain this.

Missed it too and they even spelled Whiskey correctly.

Data is just data. A database is just one way of storing it. What is important is that you gather the correct data in the first place and then you process it in a suitable manner to create INFORMATION. That's the real trick.

ASUS. Worrying when an IT company can't secure it's servers.

Only if you haven't got Total Recall.

Great. I've always wondered what some of these terms actually mean.

Yes, a carrot not a stick approach. It has been proven many times that incentives work better than punishments. People will strive towards an incentive but will hope to avoid a punishment.

Wow, today's question (4th April) took several reads for me to understand. I'm not complaining or saying it is wrong. I'm just commenting on my lack of coffee and a very long week so far. Thanks for all the hard work creating these quizzes. 

I'd say employees are more dangerous. They already have access whereas the criminals have to break in first.

I think VMWare will be around for quite some time. We are planning an Infrastructure refresh and are going to stay on HP pizza box servers running VMWare as we all know it and it works. We don't need cutting edge stuff and we don't need to expose our data to the cloud and all the insecurities it brings.

Very true. If the open source tools have been around for a while and have a good market take-up then they may be OK. Linux seems to have taken hold. Otherwise I tend to stay away. Enterprise support needs enterprise tools and the business is usually very reticent about using 'free' stuff. I think they have the "Where's the…

To be fair, all of the above would be useful.

As long as your dog isn't K9 from Doctor Who. He had a laser in his nose too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K9_(Doctor_Who)

Whiskey unless you drink that Scots muck. Give me a nice Bushmills any day.

Sorry but I thought today's was really obvious and I thought he did touch on all the correct answers. Dr. Who is great but Jon Pertwee was probably the best (and Tom Baker the maddest).

Look at the 5th one down. I'm not saying it is the correct answer but it is the only one on the list.

Really, I was going to chose some answers that didn't apply.

I have to disagree. I'm a Systems Administrator managing a global infrastructure. The 'Cloud', whether it is Azure, AWS, Google or any number of others still has to run on tin. That tin belongs to someone else and if you have no control of the tin, you don't have full control of the systems that run on it. You are totally…

Proper beer is flat. Get some proper British Real Ale down your neck. None of that fizzy rubbish. Put 1000% tariff on it.

For profit colleges. Not really a surprise. Money is tight everywhere and people are realising that being in huge debt for years isn't a great thing. Here in the UK all the Universities are having issues. The fees are too high and they struggle to get enough enrolments. Of course they also ran courses which would never…

I have to deal with Salesforce. This isn't good news.

Burn out. I'm not signing up for it but I got 55 and I'm in my 4th month of a new job. I just keep telling myself "Think of the money".
