This was one I was sorry to have to listen through. Faith+1 was flat & stale. The Be Sharps, despite not singing my type of tunes, had a rich background band supporting the humorous voices of The Simpsons. True depth in performance and entertainment. O Ye of little Faith, Be Sharp!

I voted yes! Please forgive my VM ignorance, but wouldn't you monitor and report on the physical hardware differently and separately from the hosted server?

Let 2019 be free of Cisco licensing stumbling blocks that prevent you from using your newly-purchased hardware until you discover Cisco requires you spend additional funds to unlock and use: * Physical port throughput capabilities (You bought 10G , 40G, 100 G ports? Oh, didn't you understand you must pay EXTRA to use them.…

That which does not grow, does not progress, stagnates and dies.

I feel for Louisiana, and any other victims of Ransomware. Sometimes I feel insufficient protection from malware and hacking can be the result of decision-makers not providing the right training to employees so they can be SME's and ensure the right products are recommended and budgeted for, and all employees understand…

Question 18 on 7/25 is another one I like. Discovering the answer requires using some of the product's features, and I learned something new. Perfect!

I've gotten to climb around in two B-17's on the ground. What a rush it would be to fly one!

I suspected as much. But in 19xx dollars, the price was probably equivalent when adjusted for inflation. Still, it's great to have a goal! There's nothing that'll teach the value of a dollar to someone than picking something to buy and working to earn the money to get it. And there's nothing to re-adjust a person's…

My organization inherited some hospitals/clinics with Shore-Tel phone systems. We can't get rid of those phone systems soon enough, and until they are replaced, we could use VNQM to support them.

Oh, come on--Microsoft released it to the public. It MUST be good, and safe, and without bugs. Right?

Ektachrome was a lot easier to use once chemistry went to E-6. The old E-4 process chemicals were pretty toxic. I've processed uncounted feet and frames of both. Kodachrome was the standard for rich and warm colors, while Ektachrome had crisp and clean blues--a more "technical" look than Kodachrome. Kodachrome was the…

That very first sentence set a mighty high bar. Outside of a CIA / FBI / NSA / KGB / MI5 environment, where someone's literally standing next to every person who has computer access, to protect against a corrupt or disgruntled employee violating policy--how does one do a perfect job of preventing non-sanctioned activity by…

A friend of mine, who practiced medicine as a Child Psychologists for most of his life, developed a ready response regarding trust: "People are just no good, and never will be!" He's seen some of the worst cases of abuse of children or spouses, along with families that are just plain toxic. When we create or allow or…

Whether you're experiencing opening night jitters, or because the data centers were just unexpectedly isolated, the solution or recovery can start with baby steps, placed one in front of the other. Tentatively, slowly, gathering confidence a tiny bit at a time, the pieces can be put back in place. Thank you for the…

It's where Orion's ability to generate Vulnerability Reports and IOS issues needs to shine most brightly: on ASA's.

Agreed! Backups are only as good as the last restore.

Chippiing seems unreasonable (to me) for a secure and convenient solution when applied to people. Dogs, horses, the TV remote control . . . I'm OK with tracking them via chips.

All those web sites injected unauthorized bit-mining code on peoples' computers. And that code was only eating resources, not stealing your personal passwords. You're right--everything's bad. Disconnect, go golfing. Take your friend or family member or dog for a walk. Toss a Frisbee, read a book, join a club--in person.…

Apparently truth remains stranger than fiction.

Today's question was slightly more intriguing. Make 'em harder!

One IT Director I worked for paged me and called my cell phone while I was at a restaurant. "The whole network's down--get back here right away!" Knowing this person can be a knee-jerk-reactor, a classic Chicken Little "The sky is falling" character, I asked for a little more detail. Me: "What exactly isn't working?" Him:…

Part of my break was spent finding Information Technology humor to share with wabbott​! * The truth is out there. Anybody got the URL? * The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents * Some things humanity was never meant to know. For everything else, there’s Google. * To err is human – and to…

I'm for anything reliable and trustworth, well-designed and affordable. It doesn't matter if it's apples or orangutans. On the other hand, if an orangutan had beat me up for years on end, I might tend to be prejudiced about buying into "orangutan II" until I had reason to trust it again. ;^)

But with MUCH smaller hair.

I'd enjoy seeing the detailed steps to make this work via the API, if it could include screen shots. I bet a lot of us would go down that path if we had a clear and intuitive guide to how someone else has successfully implemented this. nickzourdos​, is this something you could share with a few commands/instructions and…

Having just done this six weeks ago, AND having upgraded to the latest release of NAM, monitoring and administration tasks in Orion have significantly decreased.

Don't make a wimpy BLT! Weave your bacon into a matt, fry it up, put it on your sandwich and serve. Go hog wild and make TWO matts, one for the top, the other for the bottom of the sandwich!

I see your Jeep's first snow, and raise you my first snow of the season (23").

I hadn't heard about colleges asking for a percentage of future income. Uffda! I suspect ignorant folks will buy into it--and still default on it. OR their incomes will be low, or include "undeclared" income, and the colleges will still be left in the lurch. I think it's a bad idea from the point of view of colleges not…
