To be honest our webforms app is tiny and only does basic integration tasks between legacy software and our web app so there are no points it can block. We do everything synchronously with respect to databases. Integration is all docoupled

We use appfabric and workflow to handle all 3rd party integration. Nothing blocks threads. But we don't use async language features to do that. Workflow could be considered async but it's a tenuous link. 95% is 41ms.

Genuine question... We have way over a million lines of c#, in asp.net, mvc and windows forms. We get 80,000,000 http requests a day. We have no async (delegates or 4.5 stuff), no threading other than what WCF, AppFabric and ASP.Net give us

His sentence was before prison was about rehabilitation. That didn't really kick in until the (late) 90's. Before that it was purely about punishment. I hit someone with a golf club once. In the right circumstances this could have

Agree entirely. I think it hurts his credibility as well. From my days working at a defence contractor: you should NEVER take security advice from one person.

Yay someone else who had actually used it. This is the same experience i had which is why I'm glad they removed it and promote that fact in other posts.

That's fine. As per windows since 2.0, you can copy files to another disk then using the GUI.

It gives you the option to create a local account on installation regardless. You have to follow my instructions which were discovered in about 20 seconds. I've done this on two network connected physical machines and a VM. Like i said

Yes i saw that. It's true, but its not a substitute for a backup setvice. If it was, they wouldn't have the discontinuation of service and disclaimers in their T&C.

If you read their terms and conditions they say it's not a backup system as well. People really need to read the SLAs etc.

Not true. Total FUD. you click create account, then select local account at the bottom. Enterprise edition also doesn't prompt for a Microsoft account.

Yes there is. You can copy files to another disk. Third time I've said that. you don't need an app for that. It's also the simplest solution that fits in the head space of a user. Linux doesn't come with a backup app eit

The problem is that the old backup solution was crappy anyway so I'm glad they removed it. The basic options were: 1. System image backup. Backs up your fucked system with fucked files. Oh that's it. Not very helpful. As before,

Yes, download a new OS and Tor. That'll surely protect the network layer between X and Y!!!

This article is idiotic: Cloud synchronisation is not backup. If you think that, you are a wally, despite the vendor's promises. This is a new feature they have added that allows sync between devices. It doesn't stop any of the

You'd think but the two penalties I've been issued by the police which were speeding and talking on a phone whilst driving were wrong. I wasn't doing either. The first one was trickery by the officer who persuaded me to admit

You can do that on their web site. Just enter the bit on the bottom such as 7661-12G and it'll give you a list per os.

Office 365 support has been ok to us so far (unlike partner support which is shit). Had a couple of hours here and there down but compared to the cost of self-hosting exchange, it's pretty damn good.
