As a Microsoft Gold Partner I was able immediately connect the support team. After a long (5 sec) and exhausting discussion, the team came to the conclusion that the only valid resolution is to install Windows 10 7...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Look in the event viewer and find the error code and Google that.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Error 720, Error connecting to VPN. Google that and you'll find how to fix your VPN, not how to get rid of the error message

Also, are you using the home edition? My Google searches point to various issues with that edition and VPNs that don't appear in the pro edition. I smell a sneaky Microsoft tactic with that one.

With the error dialog box active, have you tried alt-F4?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

This is the first time I've seen 'alt-f4' advice used in a legitimate fashion...

It seemed a tiny bit gentler option to the 3-finger salute[^].

There was no dialog box.
Unless blue bars at the right of the screen are now dialogs...

In works on whatever is active (has focus), not just dialog boxes. It still works in W7, don't know about Weight or When, Did you try it?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

The other day I got contacted by a manager at the Big River, the online book-and-everything seller, who said my C++/STL/Boost background made me an ideal candidate to work in their office in Cambridge, UK.
Which is flattering and all, but I recall hearing they're a horrible place to work. A cursory search brings up a fair few articles to that effect, but also ones arguing they're not worse than other behemoths like Microsoft, Facebook or Google (mind you, the friends I have at Google are all very happy with them, so they might be an exception).
So I'm curious to hear if any of you have any opinions?

If you've got nothing better at the moment I'd say go and find out for yourself.
Looks good on your resume, and if you decide it's a horrible place to work you can quit and call it "culture mismatch" or something.
Never regret the things you didn't do.

No, I've got a job I'm quite happy with, salary-, perk-, and commute-wise. I've worked on the outskirts of Cambridge (Fulbourn business park) before, and that was usually quite okay. This looks like it's closer to the town centre, though.
|
|
|
|
|
Never heard of them and couldn't find any reference to them when googling *shrug* I've worked in Cambridge before, nightmare town for traffic
|
|
|
|
|
That might be because that's an alias, to avoid putting by name next to theirs.
There can't be that many big online book sellers named after big rivers, can there?
|
|
|
|
|
now I feel quite the fool
|
|
|
|
|
I googled all the UK rivers I know, and none of them seem to run a book selling business.

Anyway, I know someone who works for them in the US and says they are wonderful (that is if we are talking about the same company.) They have tried to recruit me a few times but it wasn't worth it for me.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

i think it's a pretty unpleasant experience for the drones (the human ones at any rate!) who actually move stuff about. I suspect it's probably a bit better for the ones that sit down all day!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
