Just wiped my entire music collection while organizing, great... :/
Oh, I think I can recover most of my MP3 and perhaps I can find a file list back from my Everything index to fill up the gaps.
Well, was moving the Music Library from C:\Users\TomWij (which was a Junction) to E:\Personal\Music and it asked if I wanted to copy my music (but as it was a Junction it was already there) but I said no so it didn't copy and decided to remove everything at the old location.
Permanently. :D
Oh, gonna see what Recuva can do.
Oh, it works based on the file tables, takes only 15 MB to analyze stuff. Interesting...
Hmm, think I can find the iTunes library back through a full-disk HEX search on "plist PUBLIC"
Impressive, lists about every single MP3 in excellent state. :O
Hmm... WinHEX takes longer on just mounting the disk (it does some kind of prior analysis before you can access it)
> This enables WinHex to display for each sector which file or directory it is allocated to. The complete listing of deleted 39 files on NTFS drives in the directory browser depends on this, too
Recovered everything with WinHEX first, but as it generated unreadable music files I did the music files in a second pass with Recuva, so now it's kinda like the best of both worlds.
There might be a few damaged, but the iTunes database is recovered intact so it's a matter of replacing them when I ever come past them...
Yeah, it kinda freaked me out as it's a lot of work to get a new music collection up.
I have Gigabyte P55 motherboard and an Intel i7-860 cpu running Windows 7-64Bit.
I have 2 sticks of 1GB RAM and one stick of 2GB RAM.
With four dual-channel memory slots on the motherboard, what is the best physical configuration of my memory sticks?
Does putting the two 1GB sticks in slots...

Just wanted to say something here to avoid noise on a question. I pulled some comments and wanted to suggest @Arjan pull his reponses too, but he already did. (Sorry 'bout that.)
(@Chris, if I understand correctly, then there's an issue with association of unregistered accounts? The fact that a moderator already changed two answers into a comment kind of tells me that even the moderator couldn't fix the association? But I hope I'm wrong!) – Arjan
@Arjan if the (common) OpenIDs are not there, we (Mods) cannot associate it, neither can the system :) – Sathya♦
@Arjan - two points a) moderators can't fix account association problems. b) I didn't check to see if the accounts were registered or not. What I said definitely applies to registered accounts. – ChrisF

Proposal: Theoretical Physics
Is Theoretical Physics different enough that it deserves its own site separate from the Physics group? I would suggest just merging them.
That's true. I can understand both sides of the argument - on one hand, theoretical physicists and experimental physicists deal with very different things. That being said, SU deals with many topics that are much more disparate
i think it would be more like having separate sites for, say, evolutionary genetics and macrobiology. I still think it makes sense on a conceptual level to have separate sites, but I agree that they don't have a large enough user base to be separate
on an unrelated note, i'm preparing an extensive expose of how the HP Wireless Assistant is a CPU-hogging piece of crap, in response to @Sathya's question about WMI requests taking up massive amounts of CPU

I generally keep my laptop on 24x7, and at the end of the day it's really annoying to have my thighs burnt because over overheating.
The overheating seems to be a result of WMI Provider Host ( WmiPrvSE.exe ) spiking the CPU utilization to 25% every few minutes. Any ideas why this is happening ...
As Sathya mentioned in his question, I have had previous experience with this problem on my similar HP laptop, and I have now confirmed using the scientific method that the CPU spikes on HP laptops is caused by the HP Wireless Assistant. Or, HP CPU Assassin, as I may start calling it.
