@nhinkle Thanks! It's clear now how it will be calculated. I wonder if it would be worthwhile fixing all the Answers to allow people to change their votes just in case they interpreted "number of votes" literally? Just a thought, that's all. =)

Journeyman Geek

now i'm curious who has downvotes >_>

sidran32

@JourneymanGeek You can click the number and it expands it out to the count of upvotes and downvotes separately.

'Ello, anyone here?

Looking for a webcam recommendation for my Dad. Also, do any webcams have miss built in? (I never had to buy one.)

digitxp

@Moshe Miss?

Moshe

@digitxp Huh?

@digitxp Oh, Mic. Whoops, autocorrect in Lion...

Do any webcams have a Mic built in?

digitxp

@Moshe Almost all webcams have a mic built in.

If you don't feel like looking into any webcams, you can safely grab any recent webcam from Microsoft or Logitech.

Moshe

@digitxp Well, shows how much I know. So what's a decent Webcam in the $25-$50 range?

Ah, ok, thanks.

digitxp

@JourneymanGeek Downvoting is fun.

It's "forbidden fruit" because it lowers your rep.

Journeyman Geek

@digitxp: in this particular case, eh, I think its silly. In normal use, i save downvotes for situations where something is.. obviously harmful

digitxp

@JourneymanGeek If only everyone abided by that. Ever notice how downvotes almost always come in swarms?

Journeyman Geek

@digitxp: and anonymously. If an answer is 'bad' it helps to say why too.

If answer is really bad, then, an alternative answer too!

nhinkle

1:02 AM

@RandolfRichardson if they downvoted, I'm sure it's not because they really meant to vote for the candidate to win.

Its obvious he wrote the app, so that part's fine. I'm a little fuzzy on if it answers the question

Mokubai

Well, the question is "what's the difference between various methods" not "how do I..." so I'm not convinced the app will tell the OP what the difference is.

Journeyman Geek

no, he's suggesting an alternate way to do it

Gareth

well, it's basically like a third option

Journeyman Geek

yup

Gareth

7:57 AM

sometimes that can help - you get questions where someone is trying to fix something weird and it ends up being complicated - once you find out what the actual original problem is, there might be an easier alternative way to achieve it

"instead of trying to fix X, why are you even doing X in the first place? just do Y"

Journeyman Geek

yeah

Mokubai

True, plus I only read half the original question, the other half actually does go into the grouping question and that app would be of use there

Q: NTFS file-system shearing and access control

I have a NTFS partition, and I want to share a folder, but I want to manage the access of the subfolders, for example this folder contains 20 subfolders, the desktop users have access only 10 subfolders. How can I manage this? How can I control a NTFS partition at all?

I know what was meant, but shearing files sounds like fun

A: NTFS file-system sharing and access control

This procedure changes quite a bit weather you are on a domain or workgroup. If you have everything or nothing with people at the moment and just want to give a few people access to a few folders, the problem sounds like it is to do with inheritance. For a domain: I would share the top folder...

Greg

hi all

BloodPhilia

@JourneymanGeek I pay 3 euros a month :P

Greg

I can't seem to get my PC to boot from a USB drive. Its as if the administrators have somehow disabled accessing the boot menu (F10) at startup - is this possible?

BloodPhilia

11:07 AM

@Greg Hi!

Journeyman Geek

@BloodPhilia: no access to a credit card for now ;p

BloodPhilia

@Greg Yes, that might be possible

Journeyman Geek

@Greg: could be done in bios. could also be that specific usb drive

BloodPhilia

@JourneymanGeek I don't even own a credit card :P

Greg

@JourneymanGeek I'm not able to access the boot menu at all - it just starts loading windows even though I'm hammering F10

Journeyman Geek

11:09 AM

@Greg: f10? shouldn't it be f8?

Greg

hold on...

Journeyman Geek

assuming you mean the windows boot menu

if you mean the bios one, it might be del or f1

BloodPhilia

@JourneymanGeek Or F2, or F12

Or any other really...

Journeyman Geek

@BloodPhilia: i've gotten the boot menu by banging random keys before...

@Greg: you have access to the bios settings?

Greg

@JourneymanGeek its the same for any button at the start - they are all ignored

Journeyman Geek

11:15 AM

that sounds unusual, the most they usually do is password protect the bios...

BloodPhilia

@Greg Is it a laptop?

Fast/Quick boot might be enabled...

Greg

it is a desktop computer, loaded with Windows 7, and I have a working USB drive that I want to boot from.

Pressing F2, holding F2 or tapping F2 doesn't seem to do anything.

BloodPhilia

@Greg Might it be a usb keyboard on a mobo that has a ps2 connector

Greg

The only thing I can think could be affecting it is the fact that there is a password (blank) set in the bios.

@BloodPhilia its a brand new motherboard.

BloodPhilia

@Greg It can still have a PS2 connector? :P

Greg

11:20 AM

let me check

@BloodPhilia no PS/2 connections on the back that I can see

BloodPhilia

@Greg Okay!

Greg

any ideas?

Sathya

@BloodPhilia you can gift it to me :p

BloodPhilia

@Sathya Lolol xD

Journeyman Geek

@Greg: tried swapping keyboards? (for all the good it does...)

Greg

11:32 AM

the keyboard does work though...

when prompted for the password before booting I can type

Journeyman Geek

it prompts for a password before booting?

could there be a different password to enable biosy stuff?

Greg

hmmm, hadn't thought of that. Is that possible - blank password doesn't allow password but allows boot, admin password allows bios?

Journeyman Geek

considering i know almost nothing of the system in question... its plausible

a blank password wouldn't make sense otherwise

Greg

very true...

so I'm guessing I can't access the BIOS ... is there any other plausible way to boot from USB?

is there a special way to reboot or something?

Journeyman Geek

hmm

maybe trick the bootloader on windows into loading something that would load the USB key?

Greg

11:37 AM

oooh new flash ...

Journeyman Geek

maybe with easybcd...

Greg

I hold F10, which is "boot menu" on the POST wallpaper, and a new kind of menu comes up ... not boot selection...

Journeyman Geek

assuming you run win7 or vista

...

Greg

it says "Edit boot options for: Windows 7"

Journeyman Geek

damn, i was hoping to see if could talk you into getting bcd to usb boot, cause i've been meaning to play with that ;p

that's the most wierd*** boot option i've seen

Greg

11:39 AM

There is an area on screen under "Edit boot options" for typing... I'm guessing I could put something in there to boot from USB?

Journeyman Geek

yup, presumably

has no idea from here onwards

Sathya

sorry about the 200-rep drop @JourneymanGeek

Journeyman Geek

lol

bounty?

also, its only about one good answer's worth. i'll survive

which question(s) tho?

Greg

@JourneymanGeek and @EveryoneElse
The screen reads:
Edit Windows boot options for: Windows 7
Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Patition: 2
Hard disk: a7737d61

[ /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN| ]

The bit inside the square brackets is an input box, I can type whatever I want there

I guess there may be some option to boot from USB there?

Journeyman Geek

hm, that's quite useless in this context. i suspect.

Greg

11:47 AM

After googling, it seems this just adds lines to boot.ini

I thought boot.ini was for old versions of Windows ... is it still around for Win7?

Sathya

@JourneymanGeek na rep recalc

Journeyman Geek

ahh

Sathya

@JourneymanGeek no idea, clearing up lot of cruft, just did one now to prevent the heart attack later ;p

Greg

Is there a way I can restart Windows to boot from USB rather than manually selecting USB myself?

Journeyman Geek

;p

@Greg: easybcd might allow you to add a boot from USB option to windows.

assuming its for personal use (or unofficial sneakery)

Greg

11:52 AM

@JourneymanGeek yeah, just to boot my portable linux distro

Q: What is the real difference between LAN and WAN?

What I understand is: A LAN is connecting two or more computers to form a cable network between them. A WAN is connecting two or more computers over a broad area to form a cable network between them. So, is the difference the length of cable used to form a network or does it depend if it's...

networking lan wan

Sathya

well, it's an alright question.

Linker3000

@Sathya Hmm - the answers are going all over the place though.

Sathya

downvote 'em. if they're so bad, flag 'em. @link

Linker3000

I plan to but it seems to stretch the definition of ....practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face"

Journeyman Geek

@Linker3000: not knowing what a lan is... can be a problem

Linker3000

2:55 PM

@JourneymanGeek I know - but then you can use that argument to make pretty much anything valid - ie: "What plastic is used to make the keys on most computer keyboards"..etc...

DMA57361

@Linker3000 but how can that example be a viable problem for a consumer?

Linker3000

@DMA57361 Where does 'consumer' come into it?

DMA57361

"computer enthusiasts and power users."

and the explicit block on corporatey stuff going to SF

I'm not sure how anyone not creating a keyboard in a factory would need to know that

regardless, I've always found the "actual problems that you face" clause to be a bit of a two edged sword

yes it blocks some daft questions, great, but there's others that could be useful that it also can deflect

Linker3000

@DMA57361 Know what you mean - it's not worth too much heavy debate, but this Q seems to be excellent Google fodda rather than needing people to cut n paste stuff from other sites - it takes no specific knowledge to answer it. Anyway, moving on....!

DMA57361

unfortunately they never made the "general reference" close reason available everywhere :)

Linker3000

3:02 PM

Yeah - Maybe there needs to a be a 'vote to close' option that says in a more diplomatic way 'FFS have you even tried Googling it?' ;-)

DMA57361

it's called "general reference" but AFAIK only SciFi and English have it (or had it... not sure it's still there)

> General reference: this question is too basic; the answer is indexed in any number of general internet reference sources designed specifically to find that type of information

Journeyman Geek

hmm, not a bad idea, though i'd never use it

DMA57361

it'd need using only infrequently but still might be handy

I suspect, however, it's unlike to spread around the network

digitxp

@DMA57361 Joel Spolsky said something about how he wanted SE to become the end-all reference or something

Journeyman Geek

I simply don't think there's such a thing as a bad question, outside shopping reccomendations and laziness...

However, they recently unveiled a new all-in-one Elite business desktop which integrates the power of Intel’s second-generation Core vPro technology; delivering up to 40 percent better performance, 15 percent faster hard drive access, and reduced downtime via remote IT management. …

hi

i installed jdk on windows and then without uninstalling removed the java folder from program files. now when i try to reinstall jdk the installation proceeds a little and then halts saying that a dll is not found. i m on windows 7 how can i install jdk now

Tom Wijsman

@Linker3000 Close under "not a real question", my comment explains enough...

Linker3000

@TomWijsman LOL - like the comment!

lovesh

hi @TomWijsman

any ideas abt my problem

Tom Wijsman

@lovesh Hmm, you removed the Java folder by accident I suppose?

lovesh

yes

Tom Wijsman

4:24 PM

Between the accidental removal and reinstalling; have you tried to reboot the computer to make sure the DLL isn't loaded anymore?

lovesh

yes a lot of times

i also tried some program to remove temporary files and clean the registry but no help

Tom Wijsman

@lovesh: Can you download Process Monitor, accept the license, click OK, do your installation until it says the warning, then in Process Monitor click the Save button and save it somewhere and upload it?

Also mention the name of the .dll if it gives us one, so we know what to look for. If needed, you can click in the message box and hit CTRL+C to copy it's content so you can paste it here (click the Fixed Font button here before sending so it's code)

lovesh

actually there is a problem Tom. i am running windows xp and this is my friends problem so i cant do that

i have seen that message. it does not specify the name of the dll file

Tom Wijsman

@lovesh: There is no way of identifying the actual underlying problem if we can't have a trace of what the installation is doing...

lovesh

it just says a dll file is missing

@TomWijsman your right

Tom Wijsman

4:29 PM

That program is from Microsoft and you can see the content of the trace yourself by opening it afterwards, there is nothing personal identifiable if you aren't doing anything else at the meantime.

(Don't close the message box when it comes up, just save the trace; this is important so the installer stops generating events where the actual error is)

lovesh

@TomWijsman i meant that he is not here right now so i dont hav his notebook with me to try this

i trust you :)

Tom Wijsman

@lovesh: Ah, that way...

The only thing that you could still try is to search the actual error on Google and try random solutions.

lovesh

i ve called my friend online l

ok

i ve aked him to download process monitor and tell me the trace

how can i save the trace?

@TomWijsman procmon.exe executed what now

digitxp

@lovesh It's not in the file menu?

Tom Wijsman

@lovesh File -> Save

Or the famous floppy disk button.

If the file is too big, put it in a zip file (it's text so compresses easily). Then, upload to a site like 4shared...

its jdk and then some version name

Tom Wijsman

You need to open the trace and make sure it's not capturing new events (File -> Capture Events off).

Then, look for the last event of the jdk process in the trace.

@lovesh: You can click at the bottom, then Find and make it search up for jdk.

With bottom I mean last entry.

ok then

@TomWijsman filedropper.com is pretty good

Tom Wijsman

@lovesh: Then double click the event and click Copy All in the lower right bottom.

Which you can paste here (don't forget Fixed Font button).

@digitxp: Looks good, I usually just look for the first random file upload service I can find.
