Q: Troubles with 80486

Diogo noobI recently bought a game entitled World of Warcraft, but sadly, I could not install it on my Intel 80486 PC. I am so sad, because I really love this game Is that anything I am doing wrong ? Sincerely

I think this guy is trying to troll

Hi @JourneymanGeek
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@sidran32: You remember the joke i always make about legally changing my name to Geek? ;p
sidran32
sidran32
@JourneymanGeek Yes... I remember :P
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Has decided if i ever get pissed off enough at the parentals, i need to change my name to Geek The Journeyman
since middle names are cool
sidran32
sidran32
00:25
That's right, you don't have a middle name?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
nope
I technically don't have a sirname either
well, officially anyway
sidran32
sidran32
Huh.
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
and my name is used both firstname lastname and lastname firstname
well, for some reason someone decided to mix the chinese style lastname first, and the alternate indian way of using your dad's name, but left out the son of
So, it should be Firstname S/O Dadsname, I'm legally Dadsname Firstname, but some people do Firstname Dadsname. But i can, in theory use Firstname ProperLastName if i got a deed poll without too much fuss
sidran32
sidran32
Heh, how convoluted.
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Ya
Amusingly, apparently any SE/SO swag i've gotten has been addressed to "Journeyman Geek"
and well. Journeyman is a horrid firstname and an awesome last name ;p
(I prolly won't, of course. Unless i decide to become an athiest techmonk!)

@JourneymanGeek how's your XP knowledge?

QQ: Repair install of XP with IE8. MSOOBE doesn't load because it relies on IE6 or 7. Can't install IE8 in Safe Mode with Command Prompt, and cant' log in any other way. Actually, since I restarted I can't log in at all... How can I get in so I can re-activate WIndows XP?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
ouch
@Luke: there's something wrong there. If you have a non activated system it should still let you log in
Luke
Luke
@JourneymanGeek Nope. Repair install clears out the old activation
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
00:36
no, not the activation, the log in
even if its expired you should be, in theory able to get in
tried this? social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/…
Luke
Luke
@JourneymanGeek It tells me I need to activate to continue. The activation window doesn't appear because it had IE8 installed. I can't access Task Manager or the Command Prompt
And I can't log in via Safe Mode w/ Command Prompt :(
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
where can you log in (if at all) ?
Luke
Luke
No where :(
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
wonders if konboot will be useful here
any errors?
Luke
Luke
Konboot?
No, just a message saying (in Safe Mode): YOu must activate Windows before you can use it. Because you can't activate in Safe Mode, restart in Normal mode... Paraphrased
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek

Warning, can be used for evil piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot
hm, no then
and normal mode won't work either?
konboot won't be useful there then

Got the passwords. Normal mode doesn't work. Just keeps trying Safe Mode
Even if I select Normal mode during bootup
Journeyman Geek

Well... its borken >_>

Luke
Damn borks...

or they perform badly

I'm gonna check the BOOT.INI file, because it shouldn't KEEP going into Safe Mode automaticlaly...

it would be rather gloriously ghetto
I'm rather hoping they sell a compatible screen for the DSI connector and a case so its simpler
sidran32

06:38
mmm... Raspberry Pi sounds delicious :)
But with Win 8 supporting ARM, could it run that? :o
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Unlikely
sidran32
sidran32
Why? Underpowered?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
its not a very powerful processor (roughly on par with those 99 dollar tablets), and MS would need to do a port for that specific set of hardware
also, there's one feature (secure boot) which i rather doubt the razzie has which MS mandates
sidran32
sidran32
Ya, but you don't have to use secure boot though. Unless it is mandated on the ARM version?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Its apparently mandated on the ARM version
sidran32
sidran32
06:43
Hmm.
I was dreaming of an ultracheap Windows home server :P
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/01/…
the razzie may not even use UEFI
sidran32
sidran32
I probably could set up a Linux home server but I have all Windows machines here. :P
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
lol
maybe compile windows embedded for it? ;p
sidran32
sidran32
But would it have the server functionality that I seek? :P
And since when could I compile Windows Embedded? :P
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
since ever? ;p
though i suspect you'd need MSDN/MSDNAA to get access
sidran32
sidran32
06:45
Windows? Open source? :O
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
hm, maybe i am getting confused
arm.com/community/software-enablement/microsoft/…
i almost certainly did
anyway, I don't see how the OS of a device thats sitting in a corner, quietly doing things matters that much ;p
I could switch tamandua to windows, and probably not notice
(the little atom box)
sidran32
sidran32
It's easier to get a Windows server to host things and interoperate with Windows properly than to get a Linux server to talk to Windows machines the same way :P
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
lol
like how?
I run both, and honestly, i hardly notice
sidran32
sidran32
Well, Windows uses Windows stuff. Linux uses whatever
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
including good ports ;p
smb for example
sidran32
sidran32
06:48
I know. But they aren't handed to me :P
I know I could do that. But for a first time project, I want something that's a bit more hand-holding :P
Besides, there's nothing wrong with Windows Server :P
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
lol
Its not windows server, its your choice of hardware/software
sidran32
sidran32
:P
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
but unless we're talking things like AD, the big difference between windows and linux is really the learning curve
sidran32
sidran32
Yup!
And AD may be explored >.>
But primarily it's learning curve. I'll level up on the difficulty later on :P
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Granted, that is not a problem for me. Linux servers are a surrogate for hardware for me
The difficulty is often appreciated
samba does AD, i think
well more accurately i should be saying LDAP
sidran32

The result of this is traffic being blocked between Brussels - Antwerp - Amsterdam, and also on a local level.
If Brussels - Antwerp makes up the half of the country's height, it surely hits the news if that amount of cars are involved.

In Germany (population 82M) it's around 10 per day. And the US doesn't have 10 times the population...

@DanielBeck When you have a country as large as the US, with so many miles of roads, it's not, really. Still sad though.
People are much more spread out here and probably drive much more than in Germany, my guess would be.
I wonder if there's a statistic tracked about how many miles are driven in a country every day...
Hm. This says that in 2008 there were a total of about 3 trillion miles driven in the US... bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2008/06/chart-of-the-da.html
Can't find anything similar for Germany, at least quickly

Funny how that Ainslot is a false positive but shares the typo.
The domains requested by the program don't exist, the IP the data goes to is connected to AT&T.
It probably matches the same IP as his SU answer. I guess he is just using names of random companies (and what not) and random executable names to post the executable at a lot of places.

@Psycogeek Someone did a few days ago, I don't think you can view it.
Et voila, first thing on the news, traffic chaos. xD
@HackToHell Okay, news got a whole animation on it. A car from the right lane accidentally drove to the left lane and so got in front of two cars. There were four trucks driving after those two cars. One of the trucks had to avoid to the right, causing the other cars behind it to crash too.
So, all lanes blocked. To pass over it, four hours of waiting what is otherwise 10 minutes...
@DanielBeck Yes, when we were in Croatia, we saw nothing but accidents. :D
Unusual roads, etc...

@Psycogeek To take it apart to get at the hard drive :P

Not sure it's worth keeping, I'd just assumed that the meta topic would have been clipped down rather than culled.
So, when are these snowmen going? Or are they here until spring?

@Luke ebay.com/sch/… One time some replacement kit came with these plastic pry tools. they came in handy for those stupid plastic snapping junk. If that doesnt work then a sawsall and nuts and bolts to finish
Ya gotta love the plastic snap together stuff, right after you break 2 of them :-), you figure out the "system" that device uses, after that it comes apart like magic. Web pictures help, I find them right after i get it apart too .

Anyone know how to remove frames at the top of all web pages (on a wife that is inserting them)?
Psycogeek
Psycogeek
@soandos dont understand the question. to remove frames hit the "remove frame" button, when that dont work, try "remove wife" button. Right click in the internal frame of any location that is being framed by another location, and Copy Paste the internal frames URL, paste back into address bar. Remove the crapware ?

@Psycogeek, it is not a SU frame, it is a general frame the appears on all pages I load (unencrypted)
I meant on a wifi network, not on a wife
Mokubai
Mokubai
public wifi?
Psycogeek
Psycogeek
who is the frame from? , how does the addresses show in the address bar? what browser? What does the frame say?
Mokubai
Mokubai

@Mokuba @ps Yes
I want something like in firefox where I can click "Show only this frame" but in chrome
Mokubai
Mokubai
Ah, I'm an FF user I'm afraid

It seems like a simple task to be honest, just take everything between the HTML tages that are in the frame, and load it is a new web page. Not sure why this functionality is not built into chrome.

@Luke so they dont have "quick Assembly" snap together factory whipped out snap and go catches that were assembled with no care as to how anyone would dissasemble it? Like todays plastic cars?
i could tell you about a time long ago in a far off land, when you took the 18 screws (not 4) out of something, and it just came apart. Like a miracle, weird thing was back then the products also lasted so long taking them apart was just for fun.

I f*ing hate patent lawyers. Specifically Apple patent lawyers.

does this mean we can go back to flip-phones that cover thier critical screen parts with other usefull parts of the phone, so you can jam them in your pocket with your keys and not worry?
How about dual monitor phones that are the same size as say an iphone, that Flip/fold out to a full 5" screen with a slight creace in the center :-)

If Apple had their way the only choice other than their crap would be chisels and slabs of stone, and even then we wouldn't be allowed to call them "tablets"

Could it be apple is just trying to get samsung to sell them thier pannels cheaper :-)
I think all the GPS makers would be able to sue apple, because they had a design like that before the ipod even existed.
and patent or not, a patent isnt who hired the lawyer, but who actually thought up the idea (the intelectual property) First.

Patent lawyers enable and encourage this kind of obscene stupidity. I've got no problems with people coming up with real innovation and ideas and having some right to be able to make use of that idea, but what Apple does is just a mockery of innovation

How much of it is just "corporate wrangling" that they know it is rediculous, but because they are publicly owned corporations they have "obligations" to thier investors?
