Living Room / Re: [Humor]: 10 Ways Microsoft's Retail Stores Will Differ From Apple Stores
« Last post by f0dder on February 16, 2009, 01:06 PM »
#1: lame
#2: bleh at MS for their stupid version differentiation
#3: MS KB articles are easy to follow, and often it is a problem with hardware (or 3rd party drivers). But of course OS X doesn't have to support every PC peripheral which Windows kinda does.
#4: heh :)
#5: lame, doesn't have much to do with reality of using Windows
#6: heh :)
#7: kinda lame - UAC doesn't pop up for 'everyday' stuff normal users do
#8: heh :)
#9: bah. I think I've seen more "error #11" (or whatever it was) on Mac OS 9 during the few years the library in my old hometown had macs than I've seen BSODs in all my years with NT-based OSes.
#10: lame.

Oh, that looks pretty nice :)

A question, though (haven't looked at the CSS source yet): how easy is it to add more boxes? Does it require new CSS classes with pixel positions, or is stuff relatively positioned so I can just use an existing CSS class?

I don't want to have to create separate styles to applease a specific browser. That's the point I'm trying to make.
-Gothi[c] (February 07, 2009, 06:06 PM)
And this is sucky. The browser incompatibilities are imho partially the W3C's fault, though - they ought to have written a reference web-tech rendering engine. And of course MS should also be bashed for being so slow at fixing IE :)

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: Comodo Backup Free
« Last post by f0dder on February 14, 2009, 08:07 PM »
Comodo backup looks like an OK basic backup program - it's scheduled backups doesn't work unless the client app is running though (ie, it's not handled by the service). Sure, you can set it to run at windows startup, but seems like a bit of an oversight to me. Also, does it handle in-use files properly?

topcattroy: AHCI is only relevant for SATA drives, which is why your new setup works with XP on the IDE drive :) - if you had integrated chipset drivers with nLite, you'd be able to install XP to the sata drive in AHCI mode.

General Software Discussion / Re: File Names : what should be avoided
« Last post by f0dder on February 14, 2009, 02:36 PM »
app103: yeah, .chm files can't be on UNC paths, or have a # anywhere in file or pathname. Darn annoying, shoddily written software that simply tokenizes based on '#' without checking if it's part of filename/path and not referring to an anchor. I considered reverse-engineering the CHM viewer components to fix the parsing bug. UNC path support would also be nice, having reference material on my fileserver and all.

Edvard: leading or trailing space is a bad idea, input sanitizing/trimming and all that :)

I'll start trimming and uploading to DC from now on- what's everyone's issue with IS anyways?
-wreckedcarzz (February 12, 2009, 04:19 PM)
1) it's an external site, you're not guaranteed the images will stay forever
2) it needs javascript to serve you the images, and I don't want to permanently whitelist the *two* domains required
3) it's an external site, which is less convenient than simply clicking the thumbnail and have it expand here on DC
4) if you have to trim pics to post them at DC, it means the originals were too large :P - not everybody are on high-speed broadband.

And yea, it is. My sister called me on my dad's cell phone and said "I broke your laptop." I come home and this is what happened, dunno how or why.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Scan computer for foreign language files
« Last post by f0dder on February 12, 2009, 04:04 PM »
Well, it does have the "advantage" that if you suddenly one morning wake up and feel French (DOYC forbid!), you'd be able to switch your installed programs over :P

I know where you're coming from wrt. not liking unnecessary crud being installed, I used to be pretty nazi about that (up to and including Win98 SE I knew what every single file on my harddrive was used for... with Win2k I knew about most of it... With the introduction of XP I had a rough idea... and now I pretty much have given up and don't care :)).

Anyway, language files/resources are usually pretty tiny, so I wouldn't worry about it. The biggest I've seen is "closecaption_french.txt" from Left4Dead, which is ~3MB.

topcattroy: ALDI has some OK offers every now and then... I wouldn't buy myself, but it's usually decent stuff when you take the price into account.

No, you can't use the F6 without a floppy drive, but using nLite (or a bunch of manual work), you can integrate the drivers (and service packs and hotfixes and tweaks and...) with the normal Windows XP install CD and burn your own copy, and that should fix the problem. And you can make the install unattended, that rocks a lot :)

Find chipset/sata drivers for your hardware and integrate those drivers with your XP install CD - then set bios to AHCI and reinstall XP.

Alternatively, just dump XP and get used to Vista :)

Yep, webster is Randall Hyde's site.

While HLA isn't my cup of tea, I think it's lame that some people claim that it isn't assembly.
