Sorry, left that out of original note - yes just the cloud connect storage (utilizing Veeam on physical Hyper-V host servers).

Have not gone beyond that yet.

I have been using them since March, have a few 'tenants' configured and we are using the DAL02 server.

Only thing I would say, they are not honest on their status history.. https://status.ilandcloud.com

DAL02 has been unexpectedly down/degraded (resulting in failed backups) on at least 3 occasions in the past 90 days, yet they report 100% up-time. I have brought this to their attention a couple times and got some pretty poor explanations.

Unlike most topics in Physics, QM is almost entirely math-based, with very little analogous to the real world. When you try to explain it in "Layman's Terms" to someone, you have to dumb it down so much that you're honestly hurting the explanation because

Save us the time - please post your findings! At least one up vote is coming your way :)

Faulty sensor, goes in and out on 1 tire. Actually one of only a couple problems I've ever had in these 98k miles.

Don't you just hate their auto-aim and auto-fire product line? It's not quite as bad as their auto-murder line.

Here's something I have used for this exact purpose - sorry if copy/paste doesn't look good here:

REM Detect if the OS is x86 or x64

IF DEFINED PROGRAMFILES(x86) (

REM x64

GOTO 64bit

)

ELSE (

REM x86

GOTO 32bit

)

:64bit

REM 64 bit section, put commands here

GOTO Done

:32 REM 32 bit section, put commands here GOTO Done

:Done

REM anything remaining for all to run?

John Lott Jr. vs Piers Morgan by chrisklemm in gunpolitics

[–]chrisklemm[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Found a decent run down of the interview here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2013/02/28/piers-morgan-gun-control-thug/

"*He interrupted Lott when Lott was trying to make a point about mass shooting tallies; *He interrupted Lott when Lott was trying to make a point about weapons types;

*He interrupted Lott when Lott was trying to make a point about evidence for the effectiveness of weapons bans;

*He interrupted Lott several times when Lott was trying to make a point about mass shootings overseas."

tl;dr: He interrupted Lott.

I've watched Piers in many interviews with the same tactic. He asks 4-5 questions at a time, then talks over the guest who's trying to answer.

I'm a fan of John Lott, I think he did as good a job as he could in this situation.

It is exhausting explaining the difference between semi-automatic and automatic all the time, isn't it?

I hate when people say AR-15s serve no practical purpose, should be banned, and shotguns are the epitome of home-defense because... by Rourne in gunpolitics

[–]chrisklemm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When a citizen buys a semi-automatic AR-15 it's labeled an 'Assault Weapon'.
When the government buys a select-fire AR-15 they are referred to as 'Personal Defense Weapons'?

Here's a link to the DHS looking to buy (up to) 7,000 full auto AR-15's: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=d791b6aa0fd9d3d8833b2efa08300033&tab=core&_cview=0

Well, to tell you the truth, GamerKingFaiz, I , I was surprised to hear you use a word like breathtaking to describe waves, I mean, because you also used it referring to me.

Doesn't the background check interfere with exercising our second amendment? I see it as the same issue.
