I am on WIN 10 Pro 64 bits version 180 With the upgrade, DVD player not longer recognizes Pre-Recorded DVDs. My own recordings play. I changed the DVD region to 2. No help. I then went back to region 1. *Shai / שי **Charles Hart Enzer, MD(Ohio, USA), FAACAP* *Aliyah <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah>: Cincinnati to Jerusalem <http://www.gojerusalem.com/items/263/German-Colony/>'s German Colony <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Colony,_Jerusalem> May, 2017* *Volunteer Associate Professor of PsychiatryUniversity of Cincinnati Medical CenterWebSite: **EnzerMD.com <http://EnzerMD.com>* *Publications* <http://www.enzermd.com/CV.html#Publications> *Tiny Country, Huge Dreams* *ארץ זעירה, **חלומות ענקיים* *עם ישראל חי* --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

That's a pretty funny one Gene. Especially as it relates to my scenario here in Cali. Turns out - when I got here - my sister insisted that NOBODY Goes to an interview in Cali w/a Suit on!

[ADMIN] Updated Website
by Ed Leafe 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hey everyone, Well, it’s lasted 15 years, but my old website has run out of gas. Specifically, it was created using Python 2, and that’s going to be unsupported at the end of 2019, so time to re-write in Python 3. Gone are Apache and mod_wsgi; it’s now running on nginx and uwsgi. The hardest part was choosing a CSS framework, and I tried a lot of them before settling on Materialize (https://materializecss.com/) It’s light, easy to use, and responsive. Under the hood I’ve replaced how archived email messages are stored and processed. Before it was MariaDB using its fulltext index; now everything is stored in Elasticsearch, where full text searching is native. I’ve run a lot of tests, and queries take about 1/10 the time as before. Of course, there may be glitches, and I’d like to know about them if you find them. I’ve also tried to keep the URLs the same, but some are not. One example is the archive search: Before: https://leafe.com/archives/search/<listname> After: https://leafe.com/archives My old web framework (Pylons) made it difficult to combine the lists into a single form, but the new framework (Flask) makes things much simpler. I’ve added a redirect for some of the old URLs, but not all, so if there are any that are causing you pain, let me know. The new site should be available as soon as the DNS update propagates through the inter webs. -- Ed Leafe

I was mentioning the likeliest (to me) scenario. There are other ways for things to go pear-shaped. I remember one post in alt.folklore.computers some years ago where the poster mentioned his company had trouble with hiring. It seems that there was one group of people who expected an applicant to be wearing a suit and another group that did not trust any applicant wearing a suit. [snip] Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

File Access Issues
by Chris Davis 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

We are seeing increasing problems with VFP applications (some of our own and other commercial ones) as our customers have their servers upgraded. A lot of these servers are now virtual machines hosted on a physical machine. In some instances these are remote desktop servers which access the VFP data from a different server. The file access issues seem to be random, in some instances the indexes get corrupted and need to be repaired. Anti Virus has been ruled out by uninstalling it, but the problems persist. Any ideas? Any issues with VFP data and VM's? Regards Chris. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
