If this were the 60s, you might call us "young-'uns".

Yeah, but so much history occurred in the 60s that the term will outlive the people who were there.

You'll need to resize your partitions.

@Serg You deserve a high-five.

It took me at least two hours to get a proper Arch setup in VirtualBox.

Serg

@NathanOsman Installation of the Arch itself was pretty straightforward. I just never used command line to partition hard drive, so it took me a bit of reading. As for GUI, I couldn't figure out how to get mouse and keyboard work in GUI . . . what's funny is that i passed the solution multiple times, when i was googling it around.

@terdon Originally Windows was just a program that ran on top of DOS. But that doesn't mean Windows 8 and 10, etc. are not Windows anymore.

terdon

1:08 PM

@Brandin Huh? Mac OS was developed by Apple. OSX was a complete break from that and was largely based on BSD. In fact, many versions of OSX were UNIX, achieving full UNIX specification. I don't think there is any connection whatsoever between macOS and OSX.

Windows, on the other hand, carries loads of crud from its previous versions. As far as I know, there has never been a completely clean break and rewire. OSX grew from NeXTSTEP which in turn was based on the BSDs.

It was never, to my knowledge, based on macOS.

@terdon Hello - thank you - can you help with this ? -> askubuntu.com/questions/677486/…

@Fabby Hello my friend - how are you ?

terdon

@cl-netbox Why would the OP want to convert to .img in the first place?

Also, that's very off topic here since the issue is on the mac side.

@cl-netbox have a look at this and add the steps to your answer:

3

A: How do I burn an ISO on a USB drive on Mac OS X?

There is no need to convert the ISO to an IMG. I wasn't willing to convert an image first. This has easier steps, outlined below. Start by listing the current disks and volumes: diskutil list Now unmount the current volume for the disk you are about to overwrite. (X = Drive number, in my case...

Just telling the OP to use dd without explaining how is not very useful. dd is not the simplest of tools :)

cl-netbox

@terdon yes you are right ! - that's what I said in my first comment - converting to img comes from here -> help.ubuntu.com/community/…

@terdon Thank you - may I use this ?

terdon

1:21 PM

Sorry, but this is off topic here since you are doing everything on OSX and are not using Ubuntu. You can ask on Ask Different,Super User or Unix & Linux instead. Before you do, however, have a look at How do I burn an ISO on a USB drive on Mac OS X? and Copying ISO file to USB drive in OS X? of which answer your question. — terdon 17 secs ago

Tracking servo failure?

To one without any experience, that reads like your drive motor is defect...

Yeah, but it'll play/read DVDs just fine.

So obviously it's not broken.

Byte Commander

(not the one spinning the disk around, but the one moving the laser probably)

A.B.

two lenses?

Byte Commander

CD and DVD use different lasers.

I would have expected that both are moved with the same motor, but who knows...

Try reading a good old CD-ROM...

A.B.

I think the mechanics are simpler when using two motors.

RPi Awesomeness

@A.B. They do?

I did not know that.

A.B.

As long as both systems are required, they can be inexpensive manufactured en masse. A combined laser would be perhaps more expensive.

Q: Why Amazon's home page is not encrypted?

I've been working on my very first web application and I usually refer to Amazon.com as my role model. I'm very interested in deploying my web application with SSL/TLS. However, there is one thing that I can't understand. Why Amazon's home page's address bar isn't green colored? Shouldn't it b...

@ByteCommander from this software (installed on windows xp) https://www.magicaljellybean.com/wifi-password-revealer/
all it says is 64 hex digit

It's one of those days when I'm much rather be in bed, sipping coffee , and watching youtube

Byte Commander

@edwardtorvalds Still, is it WEP or WPA-PSK?

@NathanOsman: Are you sure that George isn't trying to take over?

user136984

He did once before...

George now has a website.

It's on the star wall.

Byte Commander

@edwardtorvalds I guess this question should solve your problem: askubuntu.com/q/138472/367990

You just can't calculate the original passphrase out of the HEX representation back again.

user136984

@terdon: Ah, yes, it is... Silly me! I should have looked there first! :D

Byte Commander

But it's still the nginx dummy page, isn't it?

@ParanoidPanda George is harmless. Wait until PARSEC is ready! >:)

Also, a friend recently told me that the world according to NASA will end tomorrow, however they seem to have 'mislaid' the article/evidence and everything I read on line says that NASA in fact says the complete opposite... Does anybody know any more on this?

Because I'm trying to figure out if he is just telling porkies or if there is anything to this... :P

Well, if the world doesn't end tomorrow, I'll tease him about it in October... :P
