    Slow site performance?

    I had consistent decent pings at the same time I could not get the site to respond.

    Slow site performance?

    Ok, not completely recovered. Fast/slow minute to minute.

    Slow site performance?

    This site has been very slow for the last hour. Slow like I've never seen it. Seems to have recovered now though.

    The emoji key needs to die

    Fuelly will give me different versions of my Swype keyboard depending on whether I use the mobile site or desktop site. Maybe something similar is going on.

    Exchange Database Woes (Again)

    First set limits on the mailboxes so that this doesn't happen again. You can do it by user, database, or environment. Teach the users to save out large attachments to alternative storage and implement a mail archival solution. Or migrate to a cloud host and pay to make it someone else's problem...

    So, looking at the ~60 queues I have: small Brother, HP, zebra, lexmark large Canon, Kyocera, Xerox, Konica/Minolta I'm using universal drivers with the Canons, HPs, Honestly once I set up the queues and the group policies I don't hear a word about them. But I have a level of support below me...

    One of our Dell projectors has about a 10% of the pixels either stuck on or stuck off and distributed edge to edge,. I've never seen anything like it.

    question Where'd the X79 motherboards go?

    You don't want to terminate your own fiber. The equipment to polish and attach the ends is expensive and then you need to qualify it. On the other hand, short pieces come in standard sizes and low voltage conduit is not expensive either to keep out the critters. The coupler Coug mentioned would...

    To pull an SSD or not to pull an SSD

    Do you have enough free space on the drives to run a disk exerciser at the host level? Is drive magician the tool to run to get an rma code?

    The proper thing to do would be to test with both bodies until there is a sufficient body of data to drop the lower res body and rely on inference.

    Google Chrome browser question

    I don't think this can be set independently from the settings that affects all program windows. My screen resolution is so high compared to the size of the screen that I set the screen resolution to 125%.

    Booting from GPT disk

    I have also not installed an os on an non-empty drive in years. It is my understanding from the halted research I was doing for my laptop that gpt goes along with uefi and uses a fat32 efi partition at the beginning of the drive for the boot process. It didn't need to be very big but it does...

    Digital / e-Signature

    I think his problem it's only partially technical, but mostly political/policy. Some US CAs offer free certs for personal use but if the recipient does not trust (in a psychological sense) your CA then it is not sufficient for the purpose.

    Load the certificates module into mmc to look at your personal or computer certs. The USB device sounds like the devices we've had to leave installed to license some specialized software. No stick, no license. Hard to understand how that would work unless they also make you install particular...

    It depends on your sense of humor. If you like repartee, sarcasm, and dark humor you will enjoy it. I got that from Spiderman, minus the dark humor. The only familiarity my wife and I had was the two trailers. I think they are representative.

    Deadpool was very funny and we were clearly in a full theater of aficionados. I had to do some research to get straight the Xmen origins Ryan Reynolds Deadpool from this one. Sadly I didn't know to pay attention to the opening credits and I missed a couple of jokes.

    We have an older hero 2 that I've had down to 150'. For my model it came with a splash case good to 100' or so. The dive case is good to about 200' and more importantly has the flat lens to correct picture sharpness underwater. We color correct after shooting but you might consider a red filter...

    Why are chargers so lame?

    Ah I see. That's too bad that you can't trust the cable from the manufacturer. My Samsung cable it's starting to fall apart from all of the abuse but it has always charged at the appropriate rate. Having a good way to test will pay off.

    And you can go either way with your base system and your vm. I would actually start with a linux vm and keep your stable w7 base. Document your install procedures and changes from default and feel free to wipe it out and start over. This is the fastest way for me to learn but still maintain a...
