    Yep, my Subaru does fine going over mountain passes in Washington State. It does surprisingly well even in heavy rain on the freeway. Honda lost their tech lead some years ago.

    This A/C has the correct answer. Yes, I use to be a rad-did-ie-o engineer.

    No, that's not how it works in the real world. Those frequencies are already in use.

    "Those businesses lose out because people say 'Unless I can book this online I'm not going to book,'"

    And if I were a business owner I would say fine! We don't need your pretentious ass darkening our doorway. The punter likely would be more bother than they are worth.

    Nope. 30 years of networking says I'm right.

    Agreed. They never worked in a NIST environment or had to ensure that certain documents never leave the network. Wait until they learn we also disable USB ports!

    At least in the US, that is the company's machine and network and they will damn well do what they want with it. There is no freedom by design.

    Exactly! Same reason I buy stuff at Costco. Not always the best dollar deal but I know that I'll have an acceptable product for a fair price that I can return if I wish. Come to think of it I've never had to return anything to Costco in 20 years... same with Amazon.

    Like you mention, it's the standard of quality that maters. Maybe not the best but it's good enough and will work as intended.

    Now some of the stuff from Banggood...

    I was forced into it via the company being bought by the French. But like an arranged marriage you can grow to love each other. Now that yet another French company is buying the current French company we face moving away from it to something Microsoft. The sad thing is that my Global Messaging Team in the last two years has really cleaned the crap out of the 100 odd sites running servers. We have WebEx meetings with my team members in France and Pennsylvania, me in Everett, twice a week. I'm sad to see it go.

  19. Exactly. Doesn't matter which platform you use, enterprise is non-trivial when done correctly. One nice thing about the Microsoft environment is you can mostly buy your way out of any jam via M$ or consultants. Also everything works with Microsoft. I have 34TB of archived mail on Symantec Enterprise Vault. It mostly supports Domino, until you want to extract. Then it's to the cmd line and half the time it locks up the indexer. The "Sure we support Domino" often turns out to be "we have a ten year old script people say they've got working."

  20. Slow roll out. Active Directory. LanDesk Manager. Heterogeneous environment (same OS, same versions of clientware, same models of client hardware. Running IT/IS under ITIL methods. If you don't do enterprise IT then you might not be aware of all the tools out there to help.

  21. Not sure about improved but we have beat them in to stable.

    Hrumph! Server is Domino 9.0.2 and stable client is Notes 9.02FP7. They have FP10 our but we haven't tested it. One really fucked up thing is that FP can mean Fix Pack or Feature Pack. FP7 was the latest Fix Pack.

    Going through that now with 100 servers and 30k users. Some servers have Enterprise Vault, some are DAOS, most are running applications that the site never told you about but it is business critical. Email me, I need a shoulder to cry on.

  24. I'm sure they have made that up with just my company and 100 server with 30,000 users. But really, it's not as bad as you think.
