  1. Very good. You are Edward De Bono and I claim my £5.
  2. Make sure that everybody is out when you upgrade though. Upgrades often put the database into single-user-mode. If somebody else steals this single-user slot, you can get into a horrendous pickle.
  3. An SQL backup doesn't take the database off-line. It's perfectly fine to take a backup while the system is in use. Of course, changes made after the backup will be lost if you need to restore it.
  4. I've found Powershell excellent for this. The invoke-sqlcmd is the simplest way of populating a Powershell object with data. $results = invoke-sqlcmd -server "$server\Instance1" -database "Database1" -query "SELECT MAX(TimeStamp)[TimeStamp], COUNT(*) AS Count FROM [Database1].[dbo].[Table1];" http://sqlmag.com/powershell/4-essential-powershell-provider-commands-sql-server
  5. One method could use Cygwin. First stat the directory, omitting the Access fields stat * | grep -v '^Access' > file1 Then just diff the files to spot any changes.
  6. I'll just leave this here. KCCI meteorologist gets upgrade surprise on live TV | Local News - KCCI Home
  7. No, I don't use it, I just remember looking at it a while ago. Have you looked at the Broadway extension to GTK+? This might allow you to host your own Linux apps like Inkscape, rendered through a browser on your own network at no cost. Roll-your-own RollApp, if you'll excuse the hideous pun.

  8. Inkscape through Rollapp? https://www.rollapp.com/app/inkscape I really like Calligra's Karbon, too. https://www.rollapp.com/app/calligrakarbon Sumopaint is a flash graphics package, a bit like an old version of Photoshop. https://www.sumopaint.com/home/
  9. get-members is your friend $Description | gm will show that the description is a note property. To get the contents of this, reference the 'description' field of your variable. So to get your text, you should reference $Description.description Edit - your result is showing that you're returning an array, so pcstru's advice is good.
  10. Celebrities are dying in the wrong order.
  11. I couldn’t begin to fail to disagree with you less.
  12. I'd echo the good advice given above. There is another, humungous, advantage of being an electrician. Your job will not suddenly evaporate when it's outsourced. My dad (now retired) was a highly qualified electrician working in heavy industry. When he took early retirement, he could have taken any number of different jobs as his electrical engineering skills are highly transferable.
  13. Sounds like you were the subject of punitive action.
  14. I used a Google Sheets document based on a template which I customised. It worked really well. Here's a good place to start looking for one with the features you need. https://drive.google.com/previewtemplate?id=0AhGf03_PFPVjcmo4cGRPdFVnSWJab0tiTTl2MV9XN3c&mode=public and a guide how to customise it: http://www.precursive.co.uk/guide-to-making-an-online-timesheet/
  15. First computer was a Spectrum for Christmas 1982. In school we had BBCs and a 380Z, but nobody really knew how to operate it. College was DEC HiNet and IBM XTs and ATs. Uni was with 286/386 era and Sun Sparcstations/Unix and VAX VMS mini. First job was on IBM AS/400 mini + PCs. Downhill from thereon.
  16. I don't think so. My call is still unresolved, so it's unlikely that it's been addressed, tested and released. I'll try another test when I get time.
  17. And you're giving them the oxygen of publicity.
  18. In WinSCP, you'll need to connect as a user that has correct permissions to edit the file. For critical files like this, this is normally a user called 'root'. Were you supplied with the root user and password?
  19. The tag is in the config file as a comment, but it's not an active setting. In general in Linux, lines beginning with '#' are comments and are ignored. Underneath the '#none' line, you should type in ignore_expect_100 and save the file. Reboot when convenient and see if it works.
  20. I'm guessing that you want to add the command to the Squid configuration file. On most systems, that file is here: /etc/squid/squid.conf If you're a Windows user, the easiest way to do this is to use WinSCP to remotely browse the Debian server's filesystem and make the modification by editing the file. However, I would press your vendor for explicit instructions.
  21. 'disinterested'? Not to be confused with 'uninterested'.
  22. https://www.soundtrap.com/ It's a browser-based music workstation package with full collaboration. It has loops and instruments as presets, and allows file imports of your own tracks/loops/samples as well as real-time recording using your machine's hardware. It's quite extraordinary and well worth a look. Classroom Review: Soundtrap – The web-based app that changed audio production. | Small EdTech
  23. First FIFTY people to LIKE this thread will win a free iPad!!!! GUARANTEED* *Not guaranteed
  24. +1 for PhotoRec and the accompanying TestDisk. It saved a vast amount of my bacon one day - I was so relieved that I made a donation to the developer.
