A friend of mine is going through some frustrating medical crap. And while reading her latest post about her experiences, she expressed a sentiment similar to this (wording changed to foil googling):It drives me crazy. I get that these people have been there, and done that. But when you come there with something that isn't common, sometimes it just gets ignored.Um... guilty.As a technical suppo…
@RobertMoir God, I'll never get those last 6 or 7 minutes of my life back... I never paid attention to any of the Rebecca Black comments here (Ponies are so much better), and now I wish I'd continued to ignore them. She's awful.
I think its fundamentally a good product but the UI... I think they've tried to make it all things to all people and have just ended up making it equally difficult for everyone to use, whatever you're trying to do. At the end of the day, sitting down working stuff like that out is my job and I have the time to do it, but all those 1-person IT shops that have got TMG and need to get it going while juggling 500 other things all at once must be going nuts
I get on with it ok but then I'm comfortable with ISA. Even so, it does seem to make everything harder work than it needs to be
That's what gets me about it. I understand that some things are difficult to perform because they are functions that aren't performed very often or are just inherently difficult to perform. But the TMG interface makes doing the simplest things difficult at times
I've read at http://haacked.com/archive/2011/11/19/specs-for-haacked-com.aspx that Phil Haack uses MS Live Mesh to synch some backups to his home pc.
Aside from the 2GB single file size limit, is it good idea to do it on a busy web server?
yep. As I said on the question, where's the guaranteed level of service from MS
(or dropbox or whoever)... They're all cool tools for home use and all, but if you ring up Microsoft and tell them you've lost important website data because of a live mesh outage they're gonna laugh at you
The blog on this ISPs site has a pretty good explanation on why not to use Google's DNS servers: http://www.wirehive.net/blog/2/why-not-to-use-google-s-dns-and-similar

This was true, in the beginning, but Akamai (and other CDN) now test on the IP, now?
Just had a voicemail left on my phone...don't know who it was from, just a "help" in a small voice, then the sound of them putting the phone down...I herp 'derped.
What can I expect by way of realistic performance from a MS SQL Server 2008 database remotely hosted? The server hosting company is reputable and gets high marks--it is not GoDaddy but unless somebody feels it's important I won't mention the name. They cater to programmers and so far they've be...
should work well. Never tried grilling the mushrooms first myself but it sounds nice
@iain nice one, sums up the idea of a risotto perfectly I think
i like to do a mushroom ham and pea risotto which works out well but the ham ain't going to work with vegetarians, so not sure if I'd add the peas either.
@DJPon3 A mate of mine was a sound mixer/engineer for TV/film and the episode of Fat Tongue's show in Venice when he made a load of those risottos was the last bit of work my mate worked on before he died of a rare cancer - so odd memories looking at that recipe
See I have problems finding things in life that shock me any more, I lived in NYC and London for a long time and was a bad, bad man back then, so I'm rarely shocked, that's an understatement :)
Interesting. So I got the Stunk&White badge last night so that I could see my reviewer stats. All of my stats started out at zero, even though I had been using the feature for a few days.
@Iain To me that implies that one can not be awarded Reviewer until one receives S&W. That is, you can still make progress towards Reviewer, but having S&W is one of the preconditions for the badge.
that guy with the "SQL users per second" question says they're disappointed their question was closed. Not sure what else they expected when they said they didn't want to hear the one answer it might have been possible to give...
Q: "How can we process speech signal for developing a speech interactive system ? We are looking for an algorithm." A: "Run it through a library to do the recognition and respond to the result."
@Iain Forget what I said. Now, as I go through the posts, when I find one that I had already acted upon my counts go up. It's as if the system is figuring out that yes, I really did already review and act on that post.
I need some weird shaped picture frames. Anyone know a place that I can get them online that's not going to charge me three blowjobs and a twisty for one?
Well, it's a little odd. I don't see many cases of mixing HP Smart Array controllers and Dell servers. Either way, the parity initialization doesn't begin until I/O is started on the new logical drive. May I ask how you're monitoring this? Via the HP Array Configuration Utility webpage? Perhaps t...
I'm trying to set up NGINX with PHP and FPM. No installation errors, NGINX and PHP-FPM are running (I can see them with "ps aux | gre nginx" and "ps aux | grep php"). HTML pages are working fine.
Browsing to mysite/test.php just shows the PHP source code when I "view source" of the page though (...
Above is an example of each. There is no implicit trust between the two roots, so you would have to use a trust shortcut between the two, otherwise the forest root would always have to be queried whenever a cross-domain resource request was made.
Am I wrong in thinking that the question above (@MarkM had posted) the OP may have overcomplicated his setup for adding a blarg.something.com to his existing something.com domain?
I'm wondering, reading the question, if he's not mixing up DNS and AD functions.
@PeterGrace Right, there will be a trust between the two domains, but I thought that if it was in a new root and there wasn't a trust shortcut that the requests would have to be funneled up through the forest root and down the other tree.
I also have never ever worked in an environment set up like that, so I very well could have just made that up.
I know it's not our problem, I was just thinking of it in case it ever came up down the road. It seemed the question was a bit overcomplicating.
I've never been a huge fan of AD once you begin getting into more complicated structures...it seems to make scaling more of a chore than it should be.
The biggest pain is when you wonder why they did XYZ and find that if you dig enough, there was a reason at one time for it to be done the way they did it... :-/
Microsoft used to recommend making a forest root with just DNS servers and then making a child domain of that for production, etc etc. But now they recommend a single domain whenever possible
It's just such a clusterfuck and with modern technology like site-to-site VPN and AD Sites and Services, the whole child domain and multiple tree roots and shit is a holdover from a time when everything was shitty and sysadmins were savages.
Holding the pistol horizontally (the 'full homie' as it is sometimes called) is generally a lousy technique. You don't have to hold a pistol perfectly vertically to achieve accuracy, when I shoot one-handed I usually lean the pistol inboard a bit. However, once you exceed about 40 degrees of ca...
I like the idea of being able to bash a server to bits and the network keeps running properly, whenever possible. Mainly because I like the idea of bashing servers to bits when they frustrate me. But it helps with uptime and availability for the users too.
I have a Windows Server 2003 VM with two NICs, one that is connected to a private VLAN and one that is connected to a public-facing VLAN. I have manually assigned addresses to both connections. How can I configure Windows such that only traffic addressed to the private subnet (say, 10.5.1.0/24) w...
