right clicking in chrome on windows 10 seems to now have issues when you try to fix spelling issues in the reply box. It seems like it looses focus on that frame and goes back to the main frame so you don't get the spelling options, and you loose your cursor for typing. The only way I've been able get my cursor back to type again after doing this is click and drag a few times til it will highlight text in the box and then use the arrow key. Still can't use the right click on words options though.

I'm pretty sure this is easily doable with some custom nat rules and routing (policy based routing).

How much would shipping a V100 to me cost? And maybe the HP server too

Lots of gear left, is anyone going to take any of it?

I thought most of it was gone. Did @FiyaFly ever get the Drobo?

I might be interested in the DL145 too will it run Hyper-v or ESXi?

Where do rumours like this start? Database and "People's Soft" work is the highest paying, most in demand in IT? PeopleSoft went under a decade ago and wasn't big work then!

It's still used in government and colleges though.. aka the lowest paying.

That expensive audio interface you bought a few years ago? May not run on El Capitan.

So for studios, video production and other areas, this could be a crippling blow to Apple's creative segment.

This will have very little effect on studios, That will only be an issue for Home users and consumers.

Studios and video production houses run very much differently than a normal business do to deadlines and most user will need to solve their own problems as quick as possible to stick to deadlines.

Almost all studio environments are an isolated network from the internet for their creative work. They only thing on the network is the computer and some super-fast file storage and maybe a render farm depending on the size of the company. They will run the version of the OSes that the hardware they are using for that studio recommends, which I can assure you is not EL Captian. The standards for audio/video haven't changed in a very long time (HD standards came back in 1980s) so unless you have a good reason to upgrade for workflow, new features, or something breaks there isn't as much of a reason to. The creative world also tends to be a place where all artists etc will get full admin rights locally (again because of the critical deadlines with the nature of the industry) and, because this is all isolated, not dealing with any sensative data that's not really a bad practice for them(administrative people are on seperate networks without admin rights)

In high end servers, Oracle M class as an example, you do dual controllers for storage as part of its "mini" class features. But they use completely discrete controllers and software RAID. Things that you can't really do in the SMB and commodity hardware classes.

I've actually never worked on a Unix server that didn't have something like this running. Granted It's always software raid, I've never had a hardware raid in Unix

I already have enough issues with office 2016 and Yosemite

A nice thing about OpenFire is that it is just an open source and open standards XMPP server. So you can use any XMPP/Jabber client that you like. It comes with Spark, but there are lots of options on every platform. Very flexible. And you don't have to use the same one everywhere.

Spark sucks and it's Java based on the client.. two strikes against it.

The only things going for it is it is the native client and openfire has plugins to control it and it's one of the fewer XMPP clients that supports SSO (there are 2 or 3 others that do with plugins).

How hard is a CUCM/Cisco phone system to install and configure yourself instead of contracting it out. I have a lot of experience with other VoIP phone systems, Astrisks, Digium Switchvox, Mitel, etc. Is this hard for someone who's familiar with phone systems and networking to do on their own?

No idea we don't pay for SA.. By the time a new versions come out you've usually spend more on SA than paying for a whole new license.

That is awesome. Thanks!!!

Quick question. How should I spec out the vm?
I was thinking the following, which may be overkill.
4gb of ram, 40gb vhd, 2 vcores

I don't think I've given it more than 1-2GB in the past. HDD will depend if you log etc.

That's the easy part. SSO and AD intergration are the hard part. AD/LDAP integration is simple if you are used to LDAP filters. SSO isn't easy at all.

I have an iPad mini and have had the full size iPad. I got rid of the full size one I thought I never used it because it was too big. I still never uses the iPad mini 2.

I either use my phone or or my laptop.

I tried an HP that was like the surface book, I rarely used it as a tablet. Always as a laptop. It seems for me it's hard to find a use for tablets.

I want a chromium browser that auto-updates without the google bits in it. And also allows permeant exceptions for insecure/self signed SSL certs like firefox does. I also want temporary deleted downloads so it would have the ability to just run or open like IE does without keeping the download. Similar to Opendownload2 for firefox, except many times opendownload2 doesn't actually delete it it just saves to a hidden folder, would be nice if something would delete it after you closed it.

Why not something like Skype for Business?

OpenFire is self-hosted only (or third party paid hosting) and FOSS. Skype for Business is not FOSS in any way.

Works the same on windows or linux basically. So I'd use linux if I had my choice. Keep in mind the SSO integration doesn't always work as it should in every environment that is one area of Open Fire that is not polished - but can work wit some fiddling.

Keep in mind that no database selection is necessary. OpenFire has its own database built in that is quite adequate for small installs. Very simple and should take no configuration on your part. Just install CentOS, download OpenFire, install it with a single command and you should be done. OpenFire can be very simple.

I wouldn't use it it's too slow for anything much of a deployment.

I tend to get memory leaks and crashes with Firefox, but I don't really like chrome either nor IE. I just chrome most of the time but I feel like there room for a browser to come out that's really great because all have features I like and none of them are all that great.

But will it have a dock that supports 2-3 monitors for the surface book?
