Much Welcome

Isn't windows 8 the mandatory rubbish o/s that microsoft have to release after each decent o/s?
I think we can all safely ignore 8 and just wait for 9 to come along, though, by then, it will be named windows solo or something in an attempt to distance the numbered name 8.
In fact why don't we just call it Windows "Hate" right now as everyone is going to despise it.-nudone (September 09, 2011, 02:35 AM)
I got an exopc. The touch screen is sort of ok. I wonder if it could be used as a remote controller for another pc...-urlwolf (September 08, 2011, 02:24 PM)
I'd not heard of that before... how is it? And how much is it?-wraith808 (September 08, 2011, 03:08 PM)
IMO, there really isn't much difference between this and the fact that you can usually easily recover "deleted" files from a hard drive, the Windows Recycle Bin, etc.-skwire (September 08, 2011, 08:08 AM)
It's a totally different story in the server room. But everybody knows BOFHs like me and JJ are evil six-fingered mutants. So they don't allow us to have our own GUIs. For obvious reasons. (see above)-40hz (September 08, 2011, 09:30 AM)
Step One. Generate Excuse.
Just run Excuse.exe (CLI...) For particularly unintelligent users, adding (any switch) the optional fourth
parameter may help to clarify that this isn't a situation that should be celebrated...
Example: Inherent Software Corruption
Dumb Example: Inherent Software Corruption - Error
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step Two. Compose a story to backup this Excuse.
Remember, the more outrageous the story, the more likely
the user is to NOT understand it - and therefore believe it.
Unbelievable Explanation (for above excuse) "Well it appears that part of our
software is corrupted - possibly because of some hardware error"
Believable Explanation:
"It seems that the Inherency of the Software is corrupt - not the actual software
itself. We're looking at getting some artificial Inherency in to solve the problem..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step Three. Get the user to become part of the problem.
Example "..But the Artificial Inherency costs about 50 bucks a user.
If you could just send us the money, we'll get you sorted out"
Another Example "..But the Artificial Inherency isn't Right Hand User Compatibl
e - I dunno, it's Welsh or something - so you're going to have to type with your
left hand for the next 2 hours.."-usage
I think CLIs have a definite place, so for me it's more a matter of "what's the rite UI for the job?". The issue I have really is anyone casting one or the other as *the* better solution *all the time*. I just don't see how that can be true.-JavaJones (September 07, 2011, 09:25 PM)
OK, forget the unraid thing. I'll just go with a normal windows server. I'm close guys, I'm close!!-superboyac (September 07, 2011, 04:12 PM)
@StoicJoker - Aw man! Now look what we've gone ahead and done. We wore SBoy out!-40hz (September 07, 2011, 06:30 PM)

Kill me now. I'm surprised Steve Jobs hasn't filed copyright suits against these folks.I really like those haircuts.-zridling (September 07, 2011, 09:59 AM)

I usually just reset permissions on the .ini file
So I could have the EXE create the INI file while the EXE resides, say, on my desktop. Then, copy both EXE and INI to a Program Files subdirectory, perhaps?-kyrathaba (September 06, 2011, 06:26 PM)
er.e.g. Alternative Screenshot Captor download from an external server (availability not guaranteed by Softonic)This bolded part is traffic leak and it's like discouraging users to go to developers website.
Quote from - http://screenshot-ca...oftonic.com/downloadThe program you want to download will be downloaded through the Softonic Downloader, making the download process much faster, showing a progress bar and ensuring the program is virus-free.-mahesh2k (September 06, 2011, 08:02 AM)
I have complained about this many times, going back as far as 8 months. Every time one of these sites is taken down, another springs up. In many ways, what CNET did was legitimize their business model - making them much harder to deal with in the future.-db90h (September 05, 2011, 01:06 PM)
