<0> it's not as stable, no. then again it didn't go through as many renditions as MS-DOS did
<0> MS-DOS. what a hoot. he didn't even write it. he paid a guy 49,000 for it and then sold it to IBM under residuals.
<0> damn that ****er knows how to make money
<1> Cpt|Kirk; thats like asking is cat**** as good as dog****
<2> Yeah. Here's the champ p***ed out in front of the club last night. http://philz.org/Photo_041606_006.jpg
<3> I am just installing a DOS like system on VMware so I can experience some old DOS games/software again
<2> http://philz.org/Photo_041606_007.jpg
<2> http://philz.org/Photo_041606_008.jpg
<1> Cpt|Kirk; wow, experience away.
<4> you can experience those games outside of dos
<4> usually through flash or java
<5> pgpkeys: dunno, why don't you check %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework and see if anything is there?
<0> ya know.. totally forgot about that :)
<0> thanks Jet
<2> funny nuff there was a cabby right there and he wasnt bothering with the guy. just let him lay there and get his rest :D
<6> damn. getting close to 5mbit on comcast downstream these days and nothing to torrent and when there is, they still are slow
<4> thief!
<6> if only
<6> maybe I'll torrent this Metallica CD
<0> Jet: yep. it be there (several actually) thanks
<6> and then delete it
<6> **** metallica
<0> totally and completely forgot about the directory
<2> seek and destroy!!!
<7> hi everyone. i have a legit home upgrade disk. when it checks for a previous version..its not seeing the windows 2000 installed on there for some reason. could I use an xp pro disk for it to verify or does it need to be XP home or less?
<0> One
<0> Enter The Sandman
<5> bdogg: you can't upgrade Windows 2000 anything with XP Home
<2> i liked their instrumentals more then anything.
<2> orion
<5> XP Home will upgrade 9x
<0> Personally I like Ride The Lightning
<5> riding the lightning is what I do after eating mexican food
<0> that and Unforgiven
<0> jet hah!
<2> i even liked unforgiven pt. II
<1> xp PRO will upgrade win2000 PRO
<7> Jet: ok...umm i have a me upgrade disk...will it look at just that or want me to go all the way down to a full?
<0> i don't remember Pt. II
<1> a me disk might work
<2> i think it was on load or reload
<0> i've those, I'll have to check later tonight
<5> bdogg: no idea, if when it asks for an eligible product you could try putting in the ME upgrade disc
<7> peerce: could I use a pirate xp pro and load it on there and then jus downgrade it to a legit xp home w/a fresh install or will it still want proof?
<0> got all my CDs in the garage with the stereo. we use it for summer and nice days outside.
<7> jet: do u have a windows 98 disk around?
<5> but then it'll probably want an eligible upgrade product for that
<1> you can't install Home over Pro, that would make a mess
<7> peerce: well i would do a fresh install just need SOMETHING on there so I can install xp home
<7> cuz i have no legit versions of pro anywhere
<1> I don't think that would work.
<2> i really only have all my old music in mp3 format, ripped to make playing convenient. my 200 cd folder was stolen along with my jeep one day. i got the jeep back, but not the cds.
<5> I remember some guy trying to re-install MS FrontPage or something, and all he had had for years were upgrades
<5> so he had to track down like the previous 7 versions
<1> any win98 or ME CD should work
<7> does anyone have a 98 disk? i guess all the installer looks for is whatever files (not sub directiries) are in the win98 folder..its probably only a couple files or so..could someone maybe send those to me?
<1> probably a CDR with a \win98 directory and a couple dummy files
<1> it just looks for the names, but I forget whta files
<7> it looks at the names but i dont know
<7> if anyone has a 98 disk just send me all the files in win98..it should only take a second and i would be eternally grateful!
<1> I think just a 0 length \WIN98\WIN.COM file or something is all it actually needs to see
<2> um. it would take more then a second. and that would be illegal wouldnt it?
<0> yse
<0> err yes
<7> z0g^^: well not the entire cd just like 4 files or whatever no subdirs...they're small files i believe
<7> enough to p*** the upgrade
<7> peerce: do u have a 98 cd lying around?
<8> anyone know of external laptop batteries with an (optional?) warranty longer than 1yr?
<1> somewhere. probably take hours to find
<1> yole; external batteries?
<1> um. how big a battery you want?
<4> im planting me a texas red oak tree next weekend
<8> peerce well, i'm mainly concerned with the warranty
<1> get a sealed marine/RV battery, put it in a box, with a AC inverter, and the laptops wall plug
<7> anyone else? please? i really want to do this for a friend cuz windows 2000 keeps messing up the computer and now i get a blue screen and it reboots so I cant even read wat it says so I jus wanted to put an xp home on there im no longer using
<8> my tablet can't get its own replaced without being shipped to the factory etc.
<2> a liion battery should last more then a year... though, they dont last a whole hell of a long time. I find they last around 3 years or so, whether you use it or not.
<9> yay. so i owe the feds 213.61.
<1> yole; how many volts is the power plug on it?
<10> pale: We all know taxes are voluntary. Indicate that you decline to provide the amount suggested.
<8> i'm not sure. i've just seen many external batteries advertised as 'universal', but i was hoping for one with a longer wararnty
<1> yole; look at the brick, it should have the output voltage
<2> i know a guy who sets how W2 or W4 or whatever the hell that form is, he sets so many deductions that he ends up owing every year. i personally like to do things the opposite and get a chunk back every year.
<9> i make sure those ****ers don't get my money until the last possible moment.
<1> I wouldn't trust in ANYthing like that which claims to be 'universal'
<8> 12v
<9> z0g^^: so you don't mind giving the government an interest-free loan on your money?
<2> pale_blue: Yep thats the argument im given time and time again
<7> please someone I need the windows 98 files?
<2> i dont really care
<1> yole: oh, then you could just get a panasonic 12V 20AH sealed battery, about the size of a brick, and make a simple cable, use a small charger. probably be WAY more power than those 'universals' and cheaper (thats a $45 battery)
<1> and 20AH would run that tablet for HOURS.
<2> all i get back is maybe 500 bucks. even if i did make interest on that, how much would it be? enough to buy a pack of chewing gum?
<8> peerce hmm i don't know anythinga bout physical electronics
<1> actually, a 20AH is the size of a motorcycle battery. I've got one in my bike.
<8> plus i'd be carting this around a lot
<8> i wouldn't want the conenctions finnicky
<1> use a 8AH then.
<1> ok, never mind.
<1> thats what *I* would likely do.
<8> lol
<11> i am in need oof some
<1> so the internal battery is fried? you got any 'battery plus' kinda stores around you?
<11> ***istance.. i can't accessm the "documents and settings" folder
<11> saids, "access denied"
<1> they'd put new cells in it.
<8> the internal battery is fried--factory wants $550 to replace it
<1> bpattaca; how did you get there?
<1> yole; that battery place would do it for $100 or so.
<2> get a fat liion battery pack... shop a hobby outlet, like tower hobbies. liion packs are used heavily in r/c aviation.
<8> the tablet only cost $1000 though and has a slightly dysfunctional digitizer, so it's not worth putting more money into it
<8> i'm thinking an external battery means i can use it on the next tablet i get next year etc.
<5> bpattaca: let me guess, this is a 2nd HD hooked up to an existing windows system? if that's the case, you need to take ownership of the documents and settings folder on the 2nd HD (XP Pro)
<1> yole; find someone who's handy with electronics, have them open it up... liion cells only come in a few basic sizes.
<5> with XP Home, the security tab you need to take ownership is not available
<11> well, u see what i did was to do a dual boot of windows
<11> not exactly a reinstallation but to reinstall windows in another folder i called "windowz"
<11> this way the files are preserved.. but i can't access them now ... :(
<1> eeew.
<8> peerce this tablet is a pretty mesed up breed--electrovaya the tablet comapny bought tablets from tatung and slapped giant batteries inside them and rebranded them
<2> 550 bucks to change out the battery? wow. thats ridiculous. its like they just want you to buy another machine.
<1> ok, is this xp pro or what?
<5> as I said, take ownership if its xp pro
<1> yeah, what jet said.
<11> how does one "take" ownershipo? ? ?
<1> bpattaca; what OS ?
<2> you give it an ugly look and threaten it.
<8> z0g^^ to be fair, it was a pretty sweet battery (8+ hours) until it was dropped and the battery sat with no active AC connection for a month
<2> then they usually hand it right over
<11> the previous installation was home, now it's PRO
<5> in control panel, go to folder options, view tab, scroll down, uncheck use simple file sharing, then right-click the documents and settings folder, pick Properties, go to the security tab, click Advanced
<5> go to the owner tab
<1> eeew. someone was telling me, there's been a rash of snatch-n-run laptop thefts at internet cafes in SanFran recently
<5> pick the user you currently are, check the box that says "apply this to all subfolders"
<5> click okay, and wait
<2> peerce: ive read about this. one guy was stabbed in the chest for his laptop.
<2> pretty ugly, partial collapsed lung
<1> some big punk wanders in to the starbucks, walks up, grabs the laptop right from the guys table, sticks it under his arm and walks out
<8> peerce what is this battery place? would they pay me if they break the tablet in the process?
<6> people get killed for their gym shoes. why not a laptop? :)
<1> yole; ask them. we got one called Batteries Plus, its a chain.
<1> they'll replace batteries in all kinda stuff thats 'technician only'
<6> in the get ho
<1> look in the yellow pages or something, under batteries.
<8> .. google gives me a place that does tractor batteries?
<2> i'd be amused if somebody stole my laptop. once they ran away and realized they just scored a smoking hot pentium 120, i wish i could be there to see the look on their face.
<5> Barsky: get your rpc over http working?\
<6> no. gave it up since I don't even fully meet the requirements
<1> find a place that does nicad and liion
<5> ah
<6> got to get those last 2 2000 DCs upgraded
