you can with a console to, it just takes a hell of a lot more work
welll I'm tired of working on my computer for tonight, @JourneymanGeek @Hennes I'll talk to you tomorrow, I'm just going to warm it up a bit and use the usb ethernet adapter i bought right now
@Hennes It makes me wonder, I can understand A piece of hardware having issues, but not multiple at the exact time, so still have to feel as the defender update had something to do with it
I am on Windows 7. I have some files on my computer leftover from an old version of Photoshop. (I think... I don't remember exactly where they came from, but they seem to be Adobe files.) There are 124 of them in a folder, which I have named "KILL." (I don't remember what the original name of...
I had created the symbolic link from Linux, which didn't work and booted Windows weird with resetted stuff, but then I did a mklink to ProgramData2, and then went back to Linux to delete ProgramData and rename ProgramData2 to ProgramData. Seems to have worked, though Programmes (translated overlay) went back to being called Program Files for some reason.
@Bob Anyway, uhm. I made a mistake. Do you know how to bring a folder's attributes to "hidden" instead of "hidden and a protected system file"? I tried attrib -s but looks like that's not it.

It'sh fine. I acted quite funny myself by symlinking a system folder partly using Linux. It has a right to revenge. :p
Sigh
Now this is weird
acrodist.exe - System erroer Impossible to start the program because ACE.dll is missing on your computer. Try reinstalling the program to correct this problem. Hello, mister program. This is what I'm currently doing, trying to reinstall you. ._.
Aaah. Tonight I deleted my boot config. Thanksfully the Windows DVD fixed it. It was still on my old installation's drive, so when I tried to erase and format it, booting became impossible. :p
basically, it just marks each file as deleted (and maybe does something with the free-space maps? that might be affected by file size - no noticeable difference between 1 kB and 100 GB anyway) in the file system's metadata
I very much hope it does compress, because else it'll fill up my tertiary drive and I won't be able to use it for anything else. :p
Say
I bought a new Windows 8 key today, which I installed onto my hardly-trustable-source DVD installation. It works, but I'm afraid the DVD had errors and such. Do you think it's possible, once I receive my real DVD, to tell it to completely wipe Windows 8 but keep all data and apps, and then reinstall Windows 8?
I'm not sure if the 'refresh' option (which reinstalls the system byt keeps Metro apps and user data - does not keep Desktop programs) can be run exclusively from a DVD (i.e. don't use HDD files)
@Bob You may not be aware of it. But when you close your client and it prints 12:34:56 * Bob (user@host.org) Quit (Quit: Using ChatZilla 2.3.784)... that's not good
In computability theory, the halting problem can be stated as follows: "Given a description of an arbitrary computer program, decide whether the program finishes running or continues to run forever". This is equivalent to the problem of deciding, given a program and an input, whether the program will eventually halt when run with that input, or will run forever.
Alan Turing proved in 1936 that a general algorithm to solve the halting problem for all possible program-input pairs cannot exist. A key part of the proof was a mathematical definition of a computer and program, what became known ...
well, maybe not, but i guess they did formal verification? O_O or are just claiming that :P
Or 'vampire the masqurade bloodline'. Old game. Nice to play. I get stuck in the first part of the game where I have to pick up a purse and get something from a car.
Picking up the purse failed. I know where it is, I try to pick it up but I am not close enough. Can'g get any closer either
And the car has an item in the truck. Press the 'open, close or pickup' action button. Truck opened. Press it again to pick it up. Trunk closes. No item.
