I agree. I don't know this product at all and the "Hint" page seems to be anything but useful. I know they have only recently bought this company but I would expect them to be aggressively marketing it. The marketing information needs a lot more detail if it is to be useful. After all, only techie people would be looking…

Yep, been banging on about this to various IT managers for years. "The Cloud" isn't the answer to your problems. It just reduces / removes the need for hardware refresh and lowers the requirement for on-site power and air-con. It does however increase the need for good systems monitoring and vendor management. It also…

I'm certified down to 66m and on any mixture of EANx up to and including 100% O2. Maybe there's a job vacancy for a field engineer with his own SCUBA gear.

Whilst I like the idea of seriously inconveniencing people who have not been very nice citizens, where does it stop. I suspect this type of system will be used to control the population and be used to create a two (or more) tier system where the nice people who do what the government says without question will be 'allowed'…

Knowing my luck I'll win the bloody lamp or the pet feeder. I have no pets or friends (that I'd want to use this with). I do have some friends that would throw it at me very hard and tell me to wise up.

Really. !! Because three of the answers are mentioned in the hint.

There are upgrades ?

@"mtgilmore1" Have to agree. Relying on someone to give me a thumbs up to rank me seems like something kids would want. I'm an adult (although some might disagree) and would like it back the way it was.

It's a 'Quesiton'. Don't you now noffin ?

Are you sure there are only 24 hours in a day and, if so, would you please tell my boss. That's not what he believes.

La Liga. Maybe if their prices weren't so high people wouldn't pirate. Just a thought. I guess someone has to pay for all those overpriced primadonna football 'stars'.

Yaaayyyyyy. Thanks for sorting it out. It did make for an interesting debate and helped to pass the day. Have a great weekend.

Yes, Back in business with the questions. I know everyone is busy but is there any chance we could get an e-mail alert when a new mission becomes available. Found this by accident.

404 error. Bratwurst not found.

Another good feature that would help us greatly.

True but sometimes you can't have them in a sub folder.

There's an old Irish thing. Q: How do I get to X. A: Well I wouldn't start from here.

A kid hacking a US government site. No new news here. It seems to happen all the time. Having worked in the public sector and with government systems I can safely say that they don't understand security or IT. They also want everything done now with no money because they have spent all the time and money having meetings…

It's not for my sake. I can't access it.

An inch of rain. That's hardly a deluge, just a light shower (I'm from N. Ireland and live in London). I've always thought the yanks have no idea how to do electricity, now I know. Last time I was in Vegas I had to pay a room surcharge to help pay for the electricity. That was annoying as I'd just ridden the bike from the…

Yet another one that got a red X when the question doesn't match the answer.

I have lots of experience diving in Scapa Flow, have my own dry suit etc. Put them near the German WW1 wrecks and I could make a holiday of it.

Not a lot of savings at Whole Foods for me. I'd have to fly to the USA first.

Wow, I won the popcorn maker. Perfect timing as England is about to go into Covid lockdown again. I guess i will pass the time stuck at home, watching movies and eating popcorn. Time for elastic waisted trousers. Thanks to everyone involved with keeping Thwack going during these difficult times. Great job folks.

Got a ticket come in for a Tesla that wouldn't start. "It's basically computers isn't it". Yep but they need electricity to work. Have you tried plugging it in for a while. Believe it or not that one got through the help desk and was passed to 3rd line support.

Many companies and organisations in Europe aren't taking GDPR all that seriously. They are just hoping that they don't get caught. No one wants to spend the money securing the data and / or cleansing it of PII if they don't have to.

That's a relief. I thought my eyesight had finally gone.

Yep, another one where the answer could be any of them.

Anyone who applies a patch or upgrade asap should not be working in IT. Vendors often rush out software and don't fully test. Quite often they can't test every environment. I read the docs. and watch the internet for any horror stories. Once I am happy I will plan the upgrade / update. If it is a fix for an issue we have I…

This is only my 4th monthly mission and, as yet, I haven't been able to enter any of the bonus missions.
