Drives usually fail on power cycle so i'm not surprised. I dare you to reboot it and see if any of the drives come back up.
Still thats an impressive uptime. So impressive that its not likely true. Power failures happen once every 10 years at the least in most places. UPS batteries die every 3 years. Generators fail in weird ways (i had one start delivering only 80v consistently as the voltage regulator was going out).
I dunno office 2016 has been fine in my 150 seat office environment for me. Sounds more like computer problems on your end (100% cpu is not a problem i have had on any of the 150 workstations).
Skype for windows popping up on logon is configurable. One of the first things i did.
Outlook however, is best used with exchange server or hosted office365 (which is exchange). Not sure what mail provider you use but years ago using outlook with non exchange based mailservers was a load of headaches. Many word and powerpoint problems can be solved by deleting preference files from appdata on windows. I believe they are kept in one of the library folders on the mac. I also wouldn't recomend loading large powerpoint files from the network, but that has been true of like every power point version ever. Copy to the local machine first before running, especially if it has embedded videos.
I hope i don't see any of the problems you are experiencing, we have only had office 2016 deployed for around 6 months, so maybe not enough time for bugs to surface. But its been pretty smooth so far, except for the occasional plugin not working.
Where i live, people have farm stands on private property selling fruit in the summer. If you go to the country, people always have eggs and stuff available at thier property edge and they have a lockbox of sort to collect money. Nothing illegal about that. I guess I don't understand "unlicensed fruit vendors". How is it any different than a lemonade stand? At least these people aren't just uselessly begging for change and they are providing a service to people.
I guess american laws are different? you cant sell fruit without a license there?
"Even if the most ridiculous of climate models it will take 100s of years for the sea level to rise 10s of feet."
Except if their models which you have already called rediculous, are wrong. I fully expect to be fleeing sea level rise in my lifetime, and I didn't ten years ago.
The reason is that people think of climate change as a linear progression, when really it is probably non-linear. In which case we may see severe results in the next 10-20 years if we haven't already started to see them.
"The fact that it can go erratically, and often abruptly, from the neighborhood of one center to the other is the essence of a chaotic behavior. This property manifests itself as a sensitivity to initial conditions : any small imprecision in the knowledge of one parameter will make it impossible to know where the system is going to be after some finite time: in other words, it is unpredictable."
People like you, who are all like "not my problem! future generations will adapt" may be surprised what the next few years have in store for us all. You doubt the climate models being accurate, I do as well. Just in the other direction. More chaos, sooner.
And how do you propose we fight an idea? or a religion? that has simply never ever worked out, like ever.
Shit's gonna happen. Unless you want to live in a police state, and even then, people are free to kill others.
People have killed eachother forever. All we can do is create an equal and loving society that is tolerant and resilient. I really don't think its possible to stop terrorism. If its not religious terrorism, it would be environmental terrorism or some other thing people are upset about. Give people equality, give people a voice in their communities and a job and life that gives them meaning. Work on enhancing peoples lives, not repressing them or marginalizing them.
I love the idea of banning religion, and i have said it a few times in this thread, but honestly, I don't think its the end-all be-all answer to terrorism. The end-all be-all answer is no one goes hungry, no one feels repressed, unappreciated or unloved. And still, there will still be criminals and people hurting eachother. Its impossible to create a society with no dissenters or mal adjusted people. I don't think we would want that society anyway.
I think you are thinking of cylons with your fear mongering rant. You could say the same thing about any ethnic group ever.
The white hordes invaded north america.
The african hordes invaded Neanderthal europe.
The spanish hordes invaded south america.
One persons horde is another persons crusader, until we are all pleasantly mixed race in a few hundred years.
Then it can be the mixed race hordes invading other mix raced hordes, and really that's what it is now anyways. . Hopefully you can see how it's stupid to be racist as a "pure" race simply does not exist.
Now if you said "all religion should be abolished" then I might agree with you. But chances are, as with most racists, you have your own religion to prostitute.
"Sure, we have our brand of crazies who see the US government as a target. The uni-bomber for example. But when was the last time that one of these guys went to a mall or shopping center and detonated a vest to blow up women and children?"
You fucking idiot. Do you even remember oklahoma city or were you not born yet?
"The victims, including three pregnant women, ranged in age from 3 months to 73 years"
"The rest of the victims were civilians, including 19 children, of whom 15 were in the America's Kids Day Care Center"
"McVeigh timed his attack to coincide with the second anniversary of the deadly fire that ended the siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas"
"The Branch Davidians are a religious group that originated in 1955 from a schism in the Davidian Seventh-day Adventists..." blah blah blah
So your example WAS a religiously motivated terrorist act, that DID kill women and children.
The solution is to BAN RELIGION. Religion promotes intolerance, cultist behaviours, submission to authority and many other horrible prey's on civilization. It's a refuge of the stupid, the weak and the feeble minded. All of which can be easily manipulated to serve an architects causes. One religion isn't better than any other. The truth is they are all capable of extreme violence because if you believe that a magical being talks to you, or that there is a life after this one, YOU ARE FUCKED IN THE HEAD, and should be getting medical help for clearly delusional behaviour.
I disagree, we can easily replace a large part of our carbon output by switching from coal power to nuclear power.
So your trading pollution in the "short" term (less than 10k years), for pollution in the extreme long term (less than 100k years) and you consider that good?
The future is obviously solar, wind, tidal, geothermal. You have countries RIGHT NOW that have non trivial amounts of their power being generated by wind and solar (germany as an example). So why push hugely polluting nuclear, of which there is absolutely no method to deal with the waste.
Nuclear waste makes carbon waste look positively green! Nuclear waste wont decay for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years! Long after global climate change will have been solved or adapted to.
People of any age can be a cel phone zombie. I see many grey haired people with celphones on the train every night. Its a disease.
Its exactly like that star trek episode where everyone is brainwashed into playing the same game and only wesley survives to stop the take over of the enterprise.
Its crazy that no one can simply sit and stare out the window anymore. Or god forbid have a quiet moment to think by yourself. Narcissistic zombies rule the world, with their thumbs constantly a twiddling, their eyes downcast and their postures deformed, they have tuned out of real life.
My friend went to a chiropractor and he was told he has "cel phone spine" now and was advised to hold the phone up and infront of him. He doesnt do this.
"What I am trying to explain that it is silly to attribute human values to something not human"
Imaginary things can have all sorts of imaginary properties. You can't prove imaginary things have or do not have any specific properties, because they are not real. So who are you to say that one imaginary property is less valid than any other?
Hmm maybe you didnt tell the last sideloaded application that i recieved for some of my users. The thing had some sort of code in it that expired and had to be re-sideloaded every year or something like that. Im not a developer but the error that came up was something along the lines of "Untrusted Enterprise Developer..." and the application soon stopped running at all with NO error message (thanks for the troubleshooting help there apple!).
Whereas a trivially rooted android device is beyond trivial to sideload things 100% effectively for all time.
" it is entirely possible for a single source to offer multiple perspectives on an issue. Once upon a time this was known as journalism."
Come come now, in the last 40 years I doubt there has been an unslanted newspaper in some way. Usually cities have (had) one or two papers of each, left and right wing. Maybe a pragmatic "financial" paper that was more centrist, but all papers leaned in some direction. People just didn't see the bias if they agreed with the stories and editorials in their particular paper. But you would see families or even individuals in families being religious in what paper they read.
Maybe greater than 40 years ago when I was not around, this kind of journalism existed, but I doubt it. I have seen old copies of papers that were more like newsletters from the 20s and 30s that had a pro or anti socialist stance on them. As well as other papers pushing other issues. People generally fund papers to get their point out there. I think thats the reason most business people start and acquire papers, to change the public mind.
I think your "unbiased reporting" journalism never really existed. People have biases and they will report things based on them. Pretending there was a rosy history where no one was biased is a fantasy. Sure maybe some individual reporters strived for that, as they most likely do today. But even someone fair and balanced like peter mansbridge, you just know he leans left on most issues. Everyone has opinions, and I dont think I would want to read an article that was completely unbiased and dry. Identifying when people are being biased, and in what specific way, is a great skill. They used to even teach grade and highschool kids to pick through newspapers and find biased phrases. I forget what the class was called, media awareness or something. Its a real life skill to cut through all the bullshit out there.
"after driving down one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in Western North America."
Do you mean the sea to sky highway? If so you don't know what you are talking about. They completely rebuilt it for the olympics and it is one of the true success stories of that winter games. Its a dream to drive on now compared to the 2 lane monstrosity that predated it. Trust me, I drove on both. Much improved. You hardly ever hear of anyone having head on crashes or driving over the side anymore, whereas that used to be a monthly thing.
You may want to bash the olympics and that's fine there is a lot to bash, but the sea to sky highway and the canada line expansion to the airport are two of the olympic legacy items that pretty much every lower mainlander can appreciate now. The olympic oval in richmond I have also heard is quite nice, although I haven't been there myself.
Funny they are so concerned with gaining access to this stupid phone when the real weapons used to commit the crime are sold almost everywhere in america.
*sigh* we are going the other route. After having a rock solid pfsense install for 8 years with zero downtime, our IT manager has decided to purchase a cisco ASA to replace it. Luckily we have a valid support contract and a patch is available as of yesterday for this vuln (i just looked).
The reason for the purchase is that the cisco ASA can do neat things like deep packet inspection, viewing inside ssl encrypted transactions (which should be illegal but hey) and much more monitoring and analytics than we could get with squid. Im sure squid may do these things but it doesnt work out of the box and cisco provides downloads of rule updates and such which work better and do not require one to constantly tweak the device.
I am not saying I agree with the decision, but there is some concern from management that we should be watching traffic more and the cisco asa 5508 with firepower has a literally beautiful user interface and when we saw it demo'ed was quite intuitive. I have not used the device yet because its still in testing, but i do look forward to it based on the demo.
yes you do need to have a relationship with a good VAR to get stuff from cisco, but we buy desk phones and licenses for them all the time so we do have that relationship.
I love pfsense, and like i said it has run our business for 8 years without any downtime. I use it at home as well. Just providing another opinion on why someone would choose cisco over free alternatives.
Looks like you are the poster. Sounds like you know a ton about it and still you are wasting slashdots time with your stupid tech support problem.
Why dont you post your question to/r/techsupport? Even if I had the answer I wouldn't give it to you because the last thing I would want is for every idiot with a driver problem getting their own "ask slashdot". Sure. ask slashdots are normally stupid, but yours is particularly stupid, and can only really apply to your specific circumstances and so is not interesting in the slightest. You either find the correct driver, or have to use an OLD OS. Maybe if you were really 133t you could reverse engineer something and at least make an interesting deconstruction of the equipment on your journey. But you aren't 133t, you are the same as every other luser who can't find a driver on the internet.
My response would be, who cares. Who cares that you wasted money on some cheap chinese crap and it doesnt work in windows 7. Cool story bro, except its not even a cool story.
Im not a developer, but i think its like install shield for windows. Creates application packages or something. Still the summary should really give a brief definition.
"So, we have driverless cars. You still buy insurance to protect yourself and liability."
I think you are missing the point that driverless cars would in theory have zero accidents, as long as everyone else had driverless cars. So the argument is that there is no need for insurance anymore because there will be no accidents.
In BC where there is one insurer and that is the government, i could very well see them dropping rates to zero for driverless people. They would still pay out for acts of god such as a meteor falling on you, or maybe the automakers themselves would pay out seeing as it would be so rare. It could be built into the purchase price of the car. That would work as long as you couldn't override the controls and "go manual". In which case that would be maybe taken into account when insuring or being in an accident. Im sure these new driverless cars could track that and report it to the insurance company, maybe only then do you get a bill.
Regardless, im sure we are AT LEAST 20 years away from driverless cars being mass adopted. We've had electric cars for years and they still haven't reached more than a small percentage of the driving populace. So its kind of pointless to talk about this, like most other futurist topics. Reality has ways of working itself out over time, with solutions and new problems that we can't even imagine now.
"Faulting the use of nuclear bombs 60 years ago is similar to faulting men like Jefferson for owning slaves."
Similar in that both actions are morally reprehensible and inexcusable? Your demonetization of japan is simply a rationalization for america unnecessarily murdering millions with atomic bombs. The only country ever to do so.
Perhaps you have heard the phrase, two wrongs don't make a right? Except if you get to write the history books and indoctrinate your citizens for the next 70 years that is.
This came up on another site a few weeks ago. 100% of the time, you hit the deer.
Otherwise your insurance will not cover it. Say you swerve, lose control and end up in the ditch and car totaled. Insurance will just say that you totaled your car on purpose and not cover it. So the main thing to remember is, always hit the deer.
Oh great, then i have to unbolt the whole motherboard. F that yo....
For the socket 775 (yes i still run it!) you can buy pins that just clip in. they use the same motherboard holes and a bracket. Much easier than those twisty jobbies that you have to hold the black part while simultaneously twisting and pushing the pin. yuk. Heres a picture of the better design:
I always run an aftermarket cooler, even with no overclock because a cool CPU is a happy cpu! And intel stock coolers are fine for some CPUs, but not fine for every cpu they come with, in my experience. Not to mention that some cases are created better than others and cooling is really a holistic thing.
