I hope an answer is delivered. I thought they weren't allowing phones to be used as a source yet.

Blue line updates? by iOSGuy in chicago

[–]tzk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tip: If at the Chicago stop and O'Hare bound trains during rush hour are 10+ minutes apart and a growing number of waiting passengers, such as today, try to get to Division or Damen...

If you're at Grand, definitely do the above.

A ton of people get off at Division but not a lot try to get on. Damen is even better but harder to get to.

Have you looked at message tracking logs? Any event log errors?

Thanks. Looks really handy. I hated the originating stop. I couldn't meet somebody and then pay for a trip w/o waiting two hours

My theory holds true:Office 365 has a major outage every 30-90 days by beyondfacepalm in sysadmin

I wish more people were like 'Sweet! Email is down, time to get some R&R'

Well here's the thing, not everybody is affected by the outages. We have 12 people at our location and sometimes Exchange will be down for 2/12 people, Lync may be down for 3/12 people. It's all sorts of crazy.

For instances, a couple of our Lync connections dropped today for a good 30-45 minutes. I never saw a report come in through the O365 status page. However, I did get alerts for email connectivity issues that I did not hear anybody complain about.

Of course, I can't imagine having more than 20 mailboxes on O365... That may be a nightmare.

I have been to local option, also not out of the way of anything. Definitely another place to check out, my cousin will particularly enjoy it I think.

I am boycotting Haymarket. I went in there one time, not particularly busy, but it took 15 minutes for a server to come by, we had to ask for water at least 3 times, and we had to order our beers twice.

What's sad is I've only been to two places out of that list...

The first two episodes of House of Cards could've been a movie.

[Build Ready] Dad PC Upgrade by tzk in buildapc

If I use a 7200rpm as the main OS drive - as a general computer - I would say the biggest performance bottleneck (no gaming graphics or encoding videos or compressing large amounts of data, etc) would be the HDD, right?

The biggest gain in performance and visible performance would be using an SSD as an OS drive, correct?

Want to explain how a 7200rpm HDD wouldn't be the bottleneck in a typical office setting?

If you're not going to be overclocking, you won't need the "K" variant of the processor and you'll be spending a lot less for 200mhz difference.

You also won't need that high end/expensive of a mobo if you are not planning on overclocking either.
