I have a notebook that has an Intel Atom N270 CPU on board with 1.6GHz and 898MB of RAM. It runs on Windows XP Home Edition and is slower than a slug.
Would it perform better if I flattened it and installed Windows 7?
I am not technical, so an answer with easier words would be appreciated.
Engadget disclaimer at the end of articles mentioning Verizon or related companies is funny:
> Verizon owns AOL, Engadget's parent company. However, Engadget maintains full editorial control, and Verizon will have to pry it from our cold, dead hands.
As I have done I have many, many, many times before; but this time it was a 17" VGA laptop with a HDMI to VGA converter, instead of my living room TV and a proper HDMI cable.
@JourneymanGeek Makes as much sense as spontaneously combusting.
You won't believe what happened next!
I was using my "new" dual screen display for a few hours, and rebooted.
It wouldn't start Xorg, the boot messages would stop at "starting session for user ID nnn"
CTRL + ALT + Fn would change to a text TTY, but after a few seconds it would "hop" to a different TTY
There were some weird ACPI error messages
I removed the power cable and battery, pressed shutdown for 30 seconds, nothing.
I booted Windows to see if my hardware was borked and it would bluescreen... No issues there. Windows is fine. Huh.
I rebooted into Linux and... The shameless motherfucker is like "error? what error everything is fine and we've always been at war with eurasia"
@JourneymanGeek At this point I don't even care if it kernel panics at Feb 29 if it's a friday, but only if I'm wearing kaki pants and I've talked to a girl named Anna two days before.
I must start out by saying that I know how strange "👩👩👧👦" is (family with two women, one girl, and one boy).
This is encoded as such:

U+1F466 BOY
So it's very interestingly-encoded; the perfect target for a ...
I woke up today to find my PC wont boot. I don't know what's wrong. There are no beeps or anything. When I switch on my CPU, it feels like its on from inside but the monitor shows nothing. I searched 'computerhope' and they provided me a list of things that would be possible error. But, nothing could help. Anybody?
I see a black screen on my monitor after the CPU is switched on. It feels like the CPU is on from inside.. Yes, I have tried the other monutor. Nothing. Turns green to yellow.
@GypsySpellweaver I think the closest you can get to DV'ing a wildcard is the assumption that if you have control over <domain> and the ability to add a (randomly generated) subdomain to <domain>... but that's difficult to automate, as you say. At least not without some kind of API to the DNS server.
You certainly can't do it by files hosted at the A record
@OliverSalzburg Depends what you're coming from and going to :P
We can pick it apart if you post the builds here :D
it had in order: hd 6790 gpu swap new mobo, 8gb ddr3 and phenom II 1090 hd 7970 gpu, huge case, replaced noname 500w psu with a bequiet 750w, and thermalright silver arrow heatsink. new mobo again (itx), ssd, i5 6600k, and a node 304 case.
still "the same" pc x)
also the screen, keyboard, and mouse were changed about 3 times each.
And the bindings to the specific servers would be an implementation detail (just as the whole cron/schedtask and apache/nginx/etc. stuff are all implementation-specific)
There's probably some reason this wouldn't be quite so smooth, and more analysis of the consequences would be necessary.
Hi, I use Windows 7 with SP1 and AVG just told me it has quarantined DelRegInfo.exe. What is this file? I was unable to find answer on google. FYI, I was installing RGK viewer, RGK being Russian geometric kernel, something to do with CAD rgkernel.com/what-is-rgk.html.
But I think if you can prove that you are able to create, say, <random>.example.com, and maybe in addition add <random> as a TXT record on example.com, you've probably proven enough control over the domain to be given a wildcard cert
Adding the TXT record would prevent this being used on TLDs and other domain registration services where people can pick a subdomain name
@vin If it's part of a software package you're trying to install, then you need to decide whether you trust that package as a whole.
@OliverSalzburg You probably don't need the paste; I think that cooler comes with it :P
@Bob I uninstalled it immediately. Seemed like a legit source though. Now I am not sure what other spywares lurk, so would have to reformat the disc etc. :)
@satibel The source seemed legit, so didn't expect this to happen. It could be a false positive as @bob says. Anyway, I will contact them to check what its all about.
@satibel Those are actually not that interesting to me. It's more the overall feature set and available interfaces. Also the promise of higher quality. And the simple fact that the choices are much more limited for Broadwell-E, compared to Skylake or other consumer lines
And given the age of the platform, the features of the board are really a bit dated in comparison to latest gen products
So picking something smaller or cheaper or whatever is likely to bring even less
