Hey does anyone know how to install Windows 7 from a USB 3 drive?

Using the speed advantage from USB 3

It will only boot in USB 2 mode as is today

I guess the real question how would I install the USB 3 drivers onto the WinPE used to install Windows

hello @Wolfy

hi to all

which internet security solution do you use?

I don't use any, apart from Windows' firewall

hi @Greg

DMA57361

ditto for me - Windows firewall, plus whatever my router provides

At work... what they use?

hope you don't work at MS, because then I know the answer :D

we have McAfee at my current place

@Wolfy at my previous place they used Symantec Endpoint

7:50 AM

@Sathya Do you recomend it? why?

@Wolfy well it was not my decision, IT had it bolted on every system.

@Sathya Can I ask you what do you do at work?

sorry for my bad english :)

@Wolfy I work as a PL/SQL & Oracle Forms developer :)

@Wolfy don't worry about that :)

@Sathya Nice :)

@Wolfy :) how about you, what do you do?

@Sathya DB2 administrator, programer (c#, python, silverlight, php, bash,...)

@Sathya Now we use bit defender, but we think that it slows down our network :s

8:58 AM

@Wolfy well lots of people here think Microsoft Security Essentials is good

@Sathya btw... is MS security essentials :)

Q: Is it possible to add volume controls & shortcut keys to a mechanical keyboard which does not have the keys?

@tombull89 can you repost your answer from Jeff's question to

I am going to purchase a mechanical keyboard, but it will contain no volume controls or program short-cuts. Assuming I purchase a plain keyboard, is there a technology available that would provide me some sort of hardware buttons for quick access to volume controls and common programs? Hopef...

Q: Pirated version vs original version of software

Anyone agree that this seems subjective & argumentative?

yesterday one of my friend came to my home. While showing my notebook i just told him that this xyz software i bought in n bucks. (can you believe )He just started laughing at me. He said that i have also same software from some free download site. What you are getting extra feature by giving mon...

operating-systems

> So my question is how to convince a person for using only original softwares(apart from ethical and moral reasons)?

That could lead to arguments, as it is kind of an opinion, right?

hmm

I'll let you all decide this :)

btw, John Resig is doing an IAMA on Reddit reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/h42ak/…

@MarkSzymanski, I've attempted a tidy up on the question, lets seem how it survives...

Alright, thanks @DMA57361.

DMA57361

it's definitely straying into S&A territory - if it's closed by the community or heavily flagged I won't be losing any sleep over its passing

D'oh, there's always one typo you miss :)

Yep :P

5:07 PM

And closed.

there you go.

@paradroid no more just wanting a definitive answer... my drives are under warranty for three years, and they were also free... if they 'konk' out on me I'm going to blog about it,
