I have not used Windows 7 for ages (only use it for Photoshop and InDesign). The computer on which it is running is used almost exclusively by my wife. With that said I have no idea of how many updates are required but they may be a significant number. The computer is now doing its third pass at adding updates...had to reboot but it seems to be alright. Wouldn't she be surprised when she comes home. ;-) ...pleasantly I hope...if the worse happens the system can always be set to dual-boot.

I should add, that you may have to obtain some drivers from Dell. However, if you upgrade from Win7 it may not be an issue. The old Compaq I mentioned was, however, a clean install, so I was a bit surprised that Win10 found each and every piece of weird hardware, but it did. No yellow question marks.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <313197133.27414932.1463327585775.JavaMail.root@shaw.ca> Hi Gustav: The fellow does not have Windows 10 installed, on his computers, yet, even though he has around five systems all with Windows 7 on them. He is still no sure about the product and is waiting until the last minute to do the upgrade. (After that he wants me to come over and remove all the features that will violate his privacy...) Aside: I have some growing concerns with Windows 10 interrogation of the entire network and it subsequent sharing of this information with Microsoft. The latest full version, I have installed, list all the services it has discovered and I am more than upset. If it was the one station, it would be one thing but its probing lists every device, every protocol and every type of system on the network. The list all Windows, Linux and Apple products. It lists each device, each protocol, address and port: example VNC, SVN, SSH, IP, Teredo, TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, Torrent synchronization and so on. It discovers all the computers and connected devices like the servers, their activity, the TV, the cell phones, tablets, laptops, routers, printers. It also logs all the wireless locations that the mobile devices have used externally...that is a little over the top. There is a reason why security is setup on a network. It protects not only external cyber attacks but also protects the integrity of databases, visibility of servers that are supposed to be outside the viewing range of other users, anywhere on the network. This OS releases full viewing access to any person on the network. No sugar coating can describe Windows 10 as anything less than a network VIRUS...a very bad virus. For the next few days I will have to monitor the beast and try to remove all it probing services and block its connecting with the mothership. I also have no idea whether it encrypts any of the data it discovers on the network, when forwarding it to Redmond and whether it just shares that data with any third-party. If this was not just a small home network but a network belonging to a large business there is no telling how much damage Windows 10 could do to the companies internal security and protected data. IMHO, Windows 10 should never be used in any business...it is just too dangerous. It makes all of a company's private information public or worse yet public to certain external cyber entities that do not have your businesses' best intentions at heart.

We first started the initial conversation 2 years ago, I built a test harness and about a year later it was agreed that we should implement. I had a blast writing the tcp server side logic and all the xml parsing logic on the sql server. Back in 2005 I used sql clr for making web service calls back out, but these days it's a lot easier to use the built in Sql Broker to manage all the outgoing messages. :) On Fri, May 27, 2016 at 4:46 PM Jim Lawrence wrote: > Wow, that is so cool. > > Jim > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: fhtapia at gmail.com > To: "Discussion of Hardware and Software issues" < > dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> > Sent: Friday, May 27, 2016 12:23:17 PM > Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Suspect link > > actually i haven't been having a life for some time, I've been working on > this project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SKr0Azq2Oc I'm working on > the App that will ultimately go to the Apple App store then working with > our Android Developer to create a similar app for our Android users ;) > > > On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 7:32 AM Arthur Fuller > wrote: > > > Francisco, > > > > I haven't seen messages from you in a while, but it's good to see you > back. > > Were you busy having a life instead of sitting at the keyboard? > > > > Arthur > > ? > > _______________________________________________ > > dba-Tech mailing list > > dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com > > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech > > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com > > > _______________________________________________ > dba-Tech mailing list > dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com > > _______________________________________________ > dba-Tech mailing list > dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com > From jbartow at winhaven.net Sat May 28 22:40:37 2016 From: jbartow at winhaven.net (John R Bartow) Date: Sat, 28 May 2016 22:40:37 -0500 Subject: [dba-Tech] Google Calendar exporting Message-ID: <019b01d1b95b$ddc12440$99436cc0$@winhaven.net> Hi All, I'm looking for a tool to automatically upload Google Calendar entries as a Facebook Event.
