@Bob What state? Did you follow the back-ref on that discussion? Psycogeek asked a general question, and the linked superuser question happened to have just gone by so I was pointing it out as an example of my answer.
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) (pronounced as an initialism U-E-F-I or like "unify" without the n) is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. UEFI is meant to replace the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface, present in all IBM PC-compatible personal computers.
The original EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) specification was developed by Intel. Some of its practices and data formats mirror ones from Windows. In 2005, UEFI deprecated EFI 1.10 (final release of EFI). The UEFI specification is ...
The pine powder moth or converged powder moth (Eufidonia convergaria) is a species of moth of the Geometridae family. It is found from Newfoundland to British Columbia and the northwestern parts of the United States.
The wingspan is 22–30 mm. The moth flies from May to July depending on the location.
The larvae feed on Pinus species, including white pine, lodgepole pine, and jack pine.

@Bob How did I get it half broken? I flashed it with the built in EZ-Flash utility which rebooted the system when it was "done" and when it came back had eaten its head.
The only oddity was that the first time I tried to flash it rejected the file with some error about couldn't verify its security. I repeat try actually made it go, but left it borked. I have a feeling it was borked to begin with, but it's kind of hard to put my finger on.
@Bob I've explicitly not updated my UEFI since installing my mobo for this precise reason. I just don't want to even deal with it. It works right now, and for all I know it may be solid like the roman aqueducts, or it might be like a tower from a game of drunken jenga... I don't want to find out.
I want to update it, but I just can't bring myself to it...
@Bob of course I know about clippy, he and his dog sidekick which would search my hard drive years ago were the but of many jokes, but most of all he was just a really hyper feller that wanted to help me so badly I presume he killed himself because he eventually disappeared never to be seen again...untill now
According to balpha, the SE chat sites may have individual Easter eggs, depending on the site. If you find them, please post.
Edit:
Because it's so easy to make this stuff up, a screenshot as proof would be nice. (Although Photoshop ain't that hard either...)
I have a strange problem (well, actually not only one) with my Lip ( Lubuntu live with persistance): when I open the laptop after it's has been closed for a while (not shutdown, really close, physically closing) sometimes the wifi stops working. On the reopening, the blue LED on the wifi button is turned off (become orange = turned off) and I cannot turn it on. Neither pressing the button or flagging the option Enable network functionalities works.
Does anyone have an idea about how to solve this problem?
@Bob I have a couple Rasberry Pi's floating around, it looks like one should be able to rig one up to use as an external flasher using flashrom. Unfortunatly I don't have a breadboard or any wiring handy.
The problem in that thread is different though, that's for not getting any video at all on POST. I'm getting video just fine including 3d accell if I get the boot process rigged to get into anything.
@JimmyHoffa Probably right. But where am I going to get an EEPROM flasher? I vote you go to the Turkish computer parts pazar and ask around. I'll have dinner hot when you tire of trying to explain.
@JimmyHoffa unless you expect it to happen again...
@Caleb get one shipped? iunno
O.O
I was looking up my own mobo's details
> Compared to common motherboard which need extra BIOS chips, MSI’s M-Flash has a double advantage which doesn’t need extra components and secondly, all your BIOS data will be saved in the USB drive. The stored data does not only have backup and upgrade function, moreover it can also be seen as a portable BIOS chip which is actually able to boot up your PC.
@Boris_yo Mine doesn't take any soldering. It's a removable chip, I just had it out with a spudger in no time and stuck it back in to test something else.
Hello guys I don't know if this is the right place but can someone confirm my thinking? "HTTP status code 2xx-3xx is success, 4xx-5xx is error?" I want to check whether a site is working or not.
So if it returns 2xx-3xx is working fine and if it returns 4xx-5xx is not working?
First a little background:
I recently wrote a reverse proxy which I have found to work wonderfully so far, and being an avid Stack Overflow user, I thought I would try it out there.
I was just playing around and everything was working perfectly, until I hit one page that suddenly returned HTT...
@Boris_yo Agenda 21 yes, natural rights for all species sponcored by UN, requires re-working 99% of infrastructure, good for all species cept humans. Started long ago, like many things, not much of it done, scares humans, as it should.
@Boris_yo General use of it so far, is applied in a manner like many things, applied by rich powerfull and government to rob from the poor, tax them to death, and control thier lives. Has done nothing for any other species :-) its working exactally as planned .
