I made my own Brussels Sprout Tea.
Here’s what I did:
Didn’t taste as bad as I expected. Wouldn’t do it again though.
The idea came from an impro scene. The impro scene was better than the tea.
So I wanted the bit that was missing from the corner of the rear window.
The first Holden Dealer said there was no such part.
“Do you have the VIN number?”
This is more of a link dump than anything else. I was asked what I thought of a WMI-related Group Policy change.
So I know that WMI Filter queries are a bad idea, but didn’t know how to measure that badness until I saw this blog post (WMI filter queries and thoughts on performance) by Martin Binder.
You can enclose your WMI Filter in a PowerShell “Measure-Command” command, and measure it that way.
Measure-Command { for ( $i=1; $i -le 1000; $i++ ) { Get-WmiObject –Query "SELECT Model FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model LIKE 'Compaq Presario A%BB%'" } } | Select-Object TotalMilliseconds | Format-List
Output:
TotalMilliseconds : 23308.6037
As the command is looping 1000 times, you’d divide by 1000 and get the answer 23 milliseconds.

support.mcafee.com is where you need to go.and other pizzas you can’t order anymore 🙁
The Mad Moose gourmet pizza restaurant is gone! They closed the doors Tuesday 8 August. No more will I be able to order the “Fire in the Hole” pizza.
Waaaaaaa!
From the The Mad Moose Facebook page:
For the past 10 years it has been a privilege providing you with Yarravilles best pizza experience.
Sadly we have closed permanently.
We closed our doors for the very last time Tuesday night.
It has been a pleasure serving (most of) you.
We have met some amazing people, customers, staff and suppliers along the way.
I’d especially like to thank our loyal customers that have been with us through the years.
It is a very tough market at the moment and I have had to make an equally tough decision.
We understand that this closure may come as a surprise and may upset some customers. We deeply apologise for the inconvenience and the fact that you will now need to find another pizza place.
Sincerely Logan and the Mad Moose crew.
Quick answer:
In Windows 7/8/10, we use a third-party Credential Provider, and it was blocking LOCAL (ie. not Domain) accounts from logging on. Removing the third-party CP resolved the issue. (we have logged a fault with the vendor).

When I say “learnt”, it was more about reading documents to determine what happened to cause the above error.
I suspect either of these:
My quick “fix” was to change the application to use a different hashing algorithm.

All of us, at some point during our lifetime, will need a little help and a little compassion from others. All of us, due to the nature of our existence, with our need for food, shelter, clothing and medical care; will find ourselves in need. It is human nature to believe that “it” will never happen to us (“it”, of course, being bad luck). But, rest assured, it can, and it will.
