AT&T charged customers for a corporate tax that it doesn’t have to pay Portland tax exempts utilities like AT&T—but carrier added it to customer bills. AT&T charged customers in Portland, Oregon for a corporate tax that AT&T doesn't actually have to pay. AT&T has agreed to provide refunds to customers who were wrongly charged the tax over the past few months, but it's facing a lawsuit that seeks additional payments of at least $200 to each of those customers. AT&T's mistake relates to Portland's new Clean Energy Surcharge, a 1% tax on retail sales in the city. AT&T has been passing this tax along to its mobile customers, even though the city law exempts utilities such as AT&T from the tax. "The city only recently notified us that we are exempt from the tax," AT&T said a statement Friday, according to The Oregonian. "We will be issuing refunds to our customers."

@scottalanmiller said in Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect: @JaredBusch said in Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect: @dbeato said in Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect: Bomgar does this and uninstalls automatically as soon as your end a session if it is on demmand or from the host. No one is talking about on-demand. On demand should not install anything in the first place. merely run. Exactly. MeshCentral does the same. Run on demand and it just "vanishes" when you close. Understood. Bomgar doesn't install a client on demand so it was my bad wording.

@BRRABill it's been a full year since hte last follow up on this thread. How about an update after another year of use?

@denis_mcgee said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: Of course, it is better to choose an area, in which there are constant orders or customers who are looking for specialists to support existing projects. But specifically in the same web development, there is quite a strong competition, especially for beginners. It's a developer's market. Companies can't find qualified people, it's hard to even get people to interview.

IT is always the last to know.

Well... plug-in downloaded source, compiled, installed and activated. In "Setting/Plugins" I can see now the "backup-reports" and "transport-email" plugins. I made some simple test with "Backup Jobs" and all seems ok. Thanks guys.

@Dashrender said in Domain Controller Down (VM): perhaps the discussion of HA should always be left at the door unless the OP specifically says something to the effect of - this was supposed to be an HA solution, why is it not - Perhaps. Often someone says something that leads us to believe that there might have been a reason for HA. But this is a case where just nothing suggests it. Not even the lack of panic or concern once things were down. They really seemed to have no care that things were down - which is fine, their design suggests that. In this case, with @wirestyle22 not having been there, he too would have to decide how the system should be viewed. But he needs the information to take back to management "Oh, you thought that this would be HA? THat's odd as it is designed exactly the opposite of that in every way and all of the policies and procedures go against that as well. How were you expecting HA without HA processes, staffing, technology, design or setup? What led you to believe something so contrary would achieve HA?"

@JaredBusch said in Fitness and Weightloss: @Dashrender said in Fitness and Weightloss: ug - SpiceWorld wasn't kind to my scale... +5 lbs. first day home said up 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs) I expect tomorrow be lower by a decent amount. Just a fact of how my body always changes with travel. But definitely will be up from 97.3 still. And back. I was 101.3 kg Friday morning. Saturday I was 98.7 kg, and this morning 98.3 kg. So 1 kg (2.2 lbs) over my pre SpiceWorld weight. That is pretty common.
