Visual Studio: Scaffolding, EF and virtual

virtual properties "give EF a hook into your plain C# classes and enable features such as an efficient change-tracking mechanism. The EF needs to know when a property value on a model changes, because it might need to issue a SQL UPDATE statement to reconcile those changes with the database."

Camtasia 7 and Full HD (1920x1080 / 1080p resolution)

As the post implies that is not something that works out of the box. But the following steps proved to work to create a video recorded on full HD. Out of the box Camtasia 7.1.1 was always producing videos with missing lower right hand-side; Like it was not taking the whole screen, but only 1/2-2/3 of the top-left-most area. Once I figured out a way to force the full HD resolution it would give me an out of memory exception: Camtasia Studio Error: E_OUT_OF_MEMORY has been returned when trying to write the file. This may be caused by the videos with large dimensions on the timeline. Please verify that all videos on ... When selecting screen or manually highlighting the screen area the recording would correctly put the green boxes around the full screen space. Yet, the recording dimension were something around 1500x800, not 1920x1080. So, this needs to be manually edited.

Read-only Domain Controllers

By default a domain controller is a read/write domain controller. So, it can be used to authenticate against it, but also to e.g. set a new password. That password will then be replicated out to other domain controllers on your network. Why would you need a read-only domain controller now? In short: for security reasons (not performance, availability, ...). The assumption is that remote offices will be less secured than the company headquarters for many reasons (e.g. reducing IT costs on security). As such it is handy to have a local domain controller that clients can use to authenticate on-site. Yet, those should not be allowed to replicate data back to the central system, as they are assumed to be more vulnerable to attacks and breaches than the (hopefully) fortified HQ.
