Using you favorite Registry editor go to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator, then add a DWORD called EnableAppearOffline (32bit) and give it a value of 1. Restart Lync and the status should be there. Rating 4.00 out of 5
Eventually everyone and everything will be forgotten. So what does that mean? Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, in the end it doesn’t matter and no one will remember. Rating 4.40 out of 5
So according to http://earthsky.org/earth/groundhog-day-2013-how-accurate-is-punxsutawney-phil our favorite ground hog, Punxsutawney Phil is only accurate 39% of the time. Is this just the weather people trying to feel better about themselves? What if it isn’t Phil’s accuracy that is poor, with 61% of the time incorrectly predicting weather… What if in fact it is humans reading the […]

Techie1: On the outside it looks like a real private cloud solution but […]
No one wants to let out the knowledge that their Identity System took a major shot in the ass. That is the kind of thing that causes free-fall stock price crashes. – me Rating 4.00 out of 5
