Re: Interesting trivia
Parsons was a Vietnam Vet. He became an accountant and failed several times in selling his software. I read someplace that Parsons was able to not pay taxes on GoDaddy for many years because he understood how thing worked. It is also my understanding he sold a managing share in Godaddy and retained several billion in ownership. I hear he has heavily invested in Phoenix real estate. My personal experience is that Parsons built a very harsh business. I worked there for a year and it was a toxic work environment. Everyone I knew got fired. I made an exit after only a year. Turnover what amazing. I learned a lot and it helped me start a freelance PHP business. I fielded maybe 5000 inbound teach and sales calls (level 1) in that year. Learning how to talk with people about hosting and website issues while selling to them, turned out to be a valuable skill for me.

Re: Interesting trivia
Having worked at GoDaddy whilst it was still owned and operated solely by Bob, he actually had tax accounting software he had written and was using in the mid-80s, early 90s. He sold this software (company et. al.) to Intuit. His software, along with many others in that field would eventually create the base of what would later become TurboTax. Although QuickBooks was probably inspired by many features found in TurboTax, there is no clear line between the two, or any direct connections to Bob Parsons. -- Thanks, Alexander Sent from my Google Pixel 7 Pro On Wed, Sep 18, 2024, 07:53 Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > On September 27, 1994, Parsons completed the sale of Parsons Technology > to Intuit, Inc. for $64 million.

I wouldn't trust any important data on exFAT; sure use it to transfer files between Linux, Mac, and Windows, machines, but don't let that be your only copy and don't remove it from the source machine until you've successfully transferred it onto the destination machine. exFAT is merely an extension of FAT to allow larger drive and file sizes.

AFAIK, most backup drives including USB things are formatted as something like EXT3 that can be read by pretty much any OS. The ones that say “Windows” are going to be NTFS and the Mac ones are going to be something Macs prefer. I’ve got Macs and I have to be careful when i get external drives b/c if I reformat them without scrutinizing the format, they can’t be read on Windows, and vice versa.

How To Test Drive 200+ Linux Distributions Without Ever Downloading Or Installing Them I’ve written about two fantastic tools that help people discover the ideal Linux distribution tailored to their needs and expectations, but a new tool just materialized on my radar and frankly, it’s blowing my mind. I just took Debian 9.9.0 Cinnamon, MX Linux 18.3 and Peppermint OS for a quick test drive. But I did so without downloading any ISOs, without flashing any images to a USB, and without even firing up VirtualBox. That’s thanks to DistroTest.net, a website that streams the experience right to your browser. DistroTest is the brainchild of Forster Tobias and Klemann Andy. It operates on the philosophy of every potential Linux user asking the “3 W’s” questions: - Which distribution is the best for me - Which graphical interface I want - Which configuration options I have DistroTest serves up a whopping 689 versions across 223 unique operating systems. This feels like a gargantuan undertaking for the site’s operators, but the end-user experience is seamless and dead simple. RELATED READING: 2 Awesome Tools To Find Your Perfect Linux OS Basically you browse or search for the Linux distro you want to test (you can also filter the site by the very newest releases) and then click Start. The equivalent of booting up the Live ISO or installer image is streamed to your browser in a separate window via NoVNC, but you can also connect to the system on a locally installed VNC client — the server’s IP address and port are provided after you start your session. I found I only needed to wait a few seconds for each distribution to load, and occasionally you may enter a queue to manage the server side’s bandwidth load. Then you’ll have a full two hours to treat the distro as your own. Add or remove software, tweak configuration files, partition and format hard drives, whatever you desire. Once you shut it down, the system is wiped clean. You’ll get a faster and smoother experience running these on your own hardware — or even from locally installed Virtual Machine software — but first impressions are everything, and DistroTest is a brilliant way to acquire that first impression! UPDATE: It appears we may have crashed their servers, as the site is now throwing 503 errors shortly after this was published. I’ll update you here when the service is restored!

Re: interesting
I had a few of those for my htpc (at the time, a hacked xbox with xbmc), they never worked right, usually giving me 40-60% packetloss with any real use, or not - video playback was unsustainable even with crap divx's at the time. The rooms interconneting were pretty long runs, but still, rather anticlimactic for the tech circa 2007-2008. Maybe worth a try with more modern tech in a small-ish home, but I wouldn't expect much. -mb On 03/04/2015 09:34 AM, Michael Havens wrote: http://www.howtogeek.com/210895/how-to-easily-extend-your-home-network-with-powerline-networking/ :-)~MIKE~(-: --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
