Use an operating system that is on the compatibility list? lol

Anybody watching Fargo - Season2?

Yes. I agree. I liked the faux leather look they used to have. I can't imagine it would cost too much to get somebody to come in and repaint them on Monday for the following week. As for the one helmet rule, anybody who has played or coached can tell you it's BS. You just get the same model/size helmet, and rip out the velcro pads and stick them in the other one.

Good luck maintaining anonymity. Especially from the three letter agencies.

Feeling the love today/tonight from the users because of a SSL VPN crash. Total loss and couldn't restore from config backup. Love my job. OMG! I can't work in the evening from home!

Don't even get me started on EMC exponentially increasing maintenance costs over the life of their storage. We have a Pure Storage flash array and an EMC XtremIO. Comparable performance, but Pure is way better on scalability, updates, support, and maintenance costs (flat over the life of the array).

Aren't you the unique snowflake... They are trying for standardization and to prevent later problems when a requirement arises for somebody else to print to it. Those are my first thoughts.

Can't disagree. However, SQL 2012/2014/2016 is not a bad area either. Especially since the advent of SQL Always On Availability Groups. Those things are pretty awesome compared to traditional clustering. Many enterprises are moving to them for HA on their back end Windows/SQL systems. Messaging or visualization are good areas too. If you want to swerve, you could also go over to the Cisco world and get into networking. Especially converged networks that integrate Ethernet & SAN & virtual networks such as their Nexus switches.

Dell to buy EMC for $67 billion in biggest tech takeover ever http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/dell-to-buy-emc-for-dollar67-billion-in-biggest-tech-takeover-ever/ar-AAfmUf4?ocid=ansmsnmoney11 *************************************** As somebody who is forced to use EMC storage, I hope that Dell improves the support. **************************************** They have been deemed unhealthy and therefore have been removed. For your own good.

Why is a movie like Black Mass (or American Gangster, Matrix etc.) popular? That IMO shines a light onto the problem. We are a culture who enjoys violence recreationally and guns are the tool of choice because of the ease of obtaining them and the most bang for the buck. Are we surprised when those among us cross the line from entertainment to real life or revenge?

Pollin hasn't been good for years. I liked him when I first started listening to him and Czabe on the ride home a few years back, and they would have guest co-hosts like Feldman or Kevin Blackistone. But then he lost his job to Cooley and has been a whiny boy ever since.

Personally, I think the car manufacturers are more responsible for seat belt's success. It wasn't law enforcement, it was the little annoying dinger that goes off constantly when you don't wear it. And as people began to see and understand the benefit, they began to see how stupid people were who don't wear it. Unfortunately, like somebody recently pointed out, our culture reinforces the opposite, which is that violence is cool somehow.

They are also high population concentrations where people gather. They weren't targeted because they were gun-free if that's what's being implied.

In Dodge City only the cops had guns. If you didn't comply you got knocked over the head. Didn't you ever see the Kevin Costner movie?

Kind of like Dodge City/Wyatt Earp style?

The shooter even posted on a blog this exact sentiment back in August. He said basically that nobody knew the guy who shot the reporters in VA, but now everybody knows him.

I work down the hall from a Cowboys fan. Yesterday, every time he came to my office, I played this song for him.

Helpful link for DBA's or Sys Admins who are forced into double duty with SQL. Checklist for DBA's https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/brads-sure-dba-checklist/ And when your DBA's can't do things on their own, and they want to implement new tech in SQL: Configuring SQL Always On Availability Groups http://stevenpoitras.com/2014/02/configure-sql-db-availability-group/ I actually just went through this for our enterprise systems. Pretty cool, taking a page from Exchange clustering tech. Better than traditional SQL clusters IMO, since you don't need shared storage and can span sites.

He'll say the same thing the "Mr. Negativity" AKA Reid was saying this morning: It was Bruce Allen's fault. "He had his fingers in it..." like Allen is some kind of Dick Cheney style master manipulator. Whatever.

Maybe like us, they have factions and don't all agree on things. Maybe he was a warrior and not a scientist? Who knows? Not me, I didn't even see it.

Somebody must like Lavar (I don't know who), because he is now on NFL Network.

I've just been listening to ESPN Radio Mike & Mike still in the morning over iTunes Radio. Or if the weather's right, I can pick it up on 94.1 out of Newport News. They still carry them.

We get your point. You like podcasts and you want everybody in the world to listen to them because they are the greatest, most luxurious, gold-encrusted, & pleasurable thing in the world. Got it.

I always liked the red uniforms like in ST2. These one's look too much like Captain America's "old" uniform in the movies or maybe they are riding dirt bikes in the new movie?

You know, every little bit counts. And it made me feel good.
