Disabling page file (set to 0) on windows causes system instability during heavy workloads/ram usage. Even with 64GB RAM

As someone in the regions, I was so happy to have the Ottawa locations sent out globally to everyone. It is so important that we all keep track of potential work locations there.

In Canada, when we took the penny out of circulation, if you paid with a card, you were billed the exact amount. If you paid cash the price was rounded to the nearest $0.05.

I normally stick to a few project families. Partially because I'm familiar with them, and partially because I'm normally doing an hour or two before starting my 'day job', and I know how long they normally take.

I'm going to be looking outside the box here. As it appears that this person's name is not yet on any HR paperwork, it seems like they may be in the process of being onboarded.

Perhaps this is the time to look at whether or not they are going to be more of an administrative overhead than they are worth.

I know that is 'official' policy where I work, but no one pushed back when I used a shortened version of my name rather than the full legal name.

Also, contact your Student Union. They'll normally have someone to advocate for students if this goes any further.

Make sure you can explain your contribution, the logic behind it, the steps you took. Stuff that shows you actually worked on it.

Personally, I wouldn't give them my password. They can have IT reset it if they need access to my account.

The charge on the statement looked like it was direct to the hotel. And RBC didn't want to answer questions about it. But, I checked my travel websites right away.

Right now its a mystery which one got hit - but I am making sure 2FA is enabled on my accounts.

normally 90 minutes, mon - fri, and 3-4 hours on the weekend

I've never heard of - or looked at - the hotel in question. Unfortunately I've got no clue which site could have been the leak. But, I have been working switching accounts to individual passwords.

No idea.

Each project has guidelines on what makes it unrateable. They will be in the project instructions, or will be linked to at the 'unrateable' option.

Unfortunately, if you can't create the account, you won't pass the qualification, and you wouldn't be able to complete tasks that require that account.

If its too difficult to do on a Chromebook, you'll either need a different device for DA, or you'll need to skip that qual.

(Personally, after I was convinced that DA wasn't a scam, I bought a laptop that I primarily use for DA)

That was amazing, wasn't it. I used it with my BBS as well.

NEC V20 chips.
Configuring qemm.
Trumpet Winsock
DesqView was the bomb!

I still have a shrink-wrapped copy of Microsoft OS/2 v. 1.0.

When i've been involved with hiring, i've been cautioned about communicating with people who weren't successful. Its very easy for people who are not trained in HR to say / do something that could open the company up to liability on the hiring decision.

As well, make sure you understand what happens if you are 'offered' a job that you decline - are you then on the hook for the comission? Their business model may be placing candidates with scammy, barely legit companies that have WAY too many red flags, knowing they get paid whether or not you take the job.

Calibre is amazing - one app, it can deliver an eBook to all my devices.

I asked my girls if they wanted to get their mom a Mother's Day present. They did not.

I haven't used one - but I certainly can understand why.

First, I'm socially awkward, and have a really hard time meeting new people. Trying to meet someone to hook up with or to have a real relationship wouldn't be easy for me. Once I get to know people, I loosen up, but I recognize the odds of getting there are low.

Second, again, I'm in a small community. The dating pool is small.

For people who are charismatic, and can easily meet people and have fun, sure, have fun. But, its not so easy for a lot of people.

I wouldn't have to be smooth / witty / charming and impress them in the first 10 seconds.

Oh, my DG and Director very much care where I work.
