Thats the bit I wanted to see and managed to miss last night about OS X El Capitan I had to sit through an iOS 9 promo telling me my ipad mini is now out of date and going to lack features of the "full version" of that release, news looked decent enough and the WatchOS presentation with a forgettable bill gates clone who had little presence and I have zero interest in and followed by a clunky music presentation, which doesn't look all that bad, but we can wait and see the UK prices there I think.

Email Printing and other BYOD Printing Solutions that suck
rich_tech replied to chazzy2501's topic in Windows Server 2012
We use EveryonePrint here with pCounter if your not a papercut user, that works fine and the kids can log on as normal on there when printing to get their jobs across to the printer. -
Thats the worrying thing about "Big Data" these days, opting out is no guarantee of anything not being sent anyway, its easier and cheap to apologise after to the tiny individuals from these corporation's viewpoints. I have had a bit of a set too with my Housing Association as they seem to have jumped into bed with Experian now and start dumping all our payment and account data to them, under the guise of helping tenant's get credit more easily. I have no wish for anything to get shared with that firm without my thorough consent, given the issues people have had and what I have read.

I use it religiously on my home and work machines as it stops an annoyance for me (I loathe ads) I know that Channel4.com in the uk now will not play video unless you disable it, other than that it seems to work fine on my usage and cause no issues.

Looks good, like the menu structures and systems in place Though I am no web designer, just an end user here, everything is laid out well to me.

More to do with our setup than spice works when I last looked at it, sso was fiddly here with leap, comparatively manageengine supports ad sync and I can import users with little fuss

looks a winner based on looks to start with compared to 8-bit minecraft

IANAL up front here, but this has something for SLT to be dealing with written all over it to me Theres a link on here to some internal survey stuff you may find useful - Copywatch :: Home - Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) : Home is their homepage for more information That being said, is it in anyway a legal obligated process that's happening with your school or is this a voluntary undertaking ? I ask as I don't know if they have any stat powers to enforce this on you, it sounds similar to me to what BSA used to do writing to a business I used to work for nigh on demanding that all software was in compliance and that we should audit regularly in case unpaid for software was in use (we were well within compliance as we were on a paid for SCO Unix/MS subscribed licensing as a software house with proprietary products)

I used spiceworks here as a way of recording issues a while back, it was ok not brilliant though, we never rolled it out as it couldnt do SSO in a way that we wanted. I have manageengine installed now and it seems decent for the free version and allows importing from AD which is a bonus. I just use it internally as a test here atm though

You can upgrade them to two procesors, we did that with ours, we have 2 x quad core xeons and 96gb of ram in each of ours as they are our hyper-v nodes. We got ours in as part of the order though, didnt add in afterwards, but looking inside them its easy enough to add in to them and remove the placeholders. RAM on servers tends to be horrible priced for ECC SIMMS

Congratulations to you all

Seems to happen on all our epson projectors here, I just tell staff to push source search on the remote and it cures it without me having to visit. Another bug that requires me visiting though is when they decide to chop about 6 inches on the side edges of the board, that requires a projector reset and is fairly low in occurring

Who has a web domain and what do you have on it?
rich_tech replied to thatuser's topic in General Chat
I have several web domains held and have held lots over the years for different things. I have a blog which I post occasionally too, i have a domain with my surname as the URL, as I read somewhere a while back its better to have a first [email protected] and I think its a bit more impressive looking for jobs than using a @hotmail/@outlook/@gmail address I also have several domains that I hold purely as pointers to my sisters business for her website -
the MeMes have been quite excellent on social media with this

All 'failing' schools to be academies under Education Bill
rich_tech replied to LeMarchand's topic in General Chat
Seems quite apt on the thread I think We avoid it here being in Wales but it does make for a very strange system -
bit poor you cant get the free cover on the cheapest model imo

I have been needing to sort this out, I have a tendency to eat junk at work and its no good at all for me, water intake isnt bad though on the whole as I am getting through at least 2 litres a day here , graze doesnt look bad and I have been picking up a fair bit of the whole foods lately, fruit mixes aren't bad at all and I tend to smash a bowl of muesli in each morning here before work, its staving off the hunger monster pre-lunch thats a problem.

Saw that this morning, I had a near miss the other week which was shocking, as the woman who came within an actual inch of being smashed into by me, I could even see it replaying here now, she actually only looked one way at a junction - to her left while I was approaching from the right and just pulled out on a 40mph road, the car screeched and skidded in that near miss and it shook me up a fair bit.

I havent needed it myself, but my late grandmother went down the dialysis route (she got kidney failure late on in life through diabetes and was deemed to be ineligible for a transplant because of age and other health problems), she did not fancy having the dialysis machine at home and the responsibility of going on it everyday, (they were in their 60s when first informed and very non-technical) the local hospitals around here tend to offer shifts to people to go on it 3 times a week with regards dialysis, so people in office jobs tended to go onto the evening slots with it after working from taking my gran back and fore over the years. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for my gran. The woman who she became friendly with while on dialysis had a transplant earlier in life and was free of dialysis for nearly 15 years and lived and worked normally throughout that period just taking the anti-rejection medication, the operation wasnt that bad too she told my gran. Hope it all goes ok for you with this all the same

was about to add, Samsung will directly sort it out with their software, I run with a samsung SSD and 2 1TB hard disks in mine nowadays. Failing that reinstall from a USB wasnt too bad either flash to flash copying over USB3 to an SSD = faster than the days of CDs by far
-
It was quite a refreshing headline, these people have long been warranting a detailed investigation, they cannot see that self-governance is pointless. Hope they go through everyone now with a fine tooth comb

That trailer does not look that awful for a remake, but at the same time you have to ask "Why?" I think when it comes to a lot of these remakes. Has hollywood lost all creativity ?

What's a floppy disk drive ?

you could try linux based recovery programs like testdisk/photorec, Linux treats USB devices differently to windows I have had some success with it, though I can't vouch for a mobile phone, but if Linux can see it testdisk/photorec can help there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2oMiHXlWyA Cant vouch for the product, but there are a couple of packages that claim to be able to recover files for you from some quick Google-Fu
