The Bridge

7:00 PM

It's just like 2000 > XP

Everything was still there, it just got moved

By the way, if you are intrigued by recent chatter about King of Dragon Pass by the likes of @Wipqozn and I, the game is on sale on iOS for this week to celebrate their 30,000th sale.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, but I never had to administer anything pre-XP. I'm sure once I learn it it won't be a big deal, but adjusting to it is needlessly painful.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Yep

StrixVaria

Also it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to switch tabs using the mouse in the new IE App thing.

Or to even get to the address bar to type a new URL.

I was trying to figure out the "intuitive" way to do things and was failing.

I could only navigate using memorized keyboard shortcuts.

badp

Typically everything can be reached simply with Windows <name of the program> enter

If that fails, Windows <name of the program> down (to select Settings instead of Programs) Enter

StrixVaria

7:03 PM

@badp So you can start typing right at the metro screen?

badp

Yeah, just like in Windows 7

SaintWacko

I'm just going to skip Windows 8

StrixVaria

You don't have to mouse to the corner, then click the magnifying glass, then type?

Coronus

@badp This is turning out to be the most difficult thing I've had to teach people about Windows.

badp

@StrixVaria You can do that but you can also just type

There's also a key combination to search the settings directly, but I can't remember it now

SaintWacko

7:04 PM

@Coronus That's how I've been accessing my programs pretty much since I started using Win7

StrixVaria

@badp Saying this is kind of annoying because the UI is utterly different than in Windows 7. In W7 when you click 'start' or press the Windows key, it at least puts your cursor in a text box. There is no text box on the metro screen to make you think typing is a thing you can do.

Sconibulus

you can do that?

badp

@StrixVaria That is a fair criticism, but it is mechanically equivalent

Sconibulus

I seem to be unable to type on the desktop in 7

badp

@Sconibulus not on the desktop, at the start screen

Sconibulus

7:05 PM

oh, ok

although when I login I hit desktop...

badp

The biggest fair criticism against Windows 8 is one of discoverability

Sconibulus

start menu? You can type in that

SaintWacko

@Sconibulus Press the windows key, then start typing

StrixVaria

I didn't hate Windows 8. I could get used to it. It was just frustrating to try to do stuff that would have taken me no time at all in W7.

badp

The Start screen is the exception, rather than the rule, for being able to search just by typing directly. A few metro apps do that, most don't.

@StrixVaria I'm just trying to help you along given that likely Windows 9 is going to be Windows 8 polished - but still mostly Windows 8

StrixVaria

7:08 PM

@badp Oh yeah I appreciate it for sure. Knowing I can type straight on the start screen will be huge.

badp

just like people looking for Windows XP + 1 are still stuck with Windows XP, people looking for Windows 7 + 1 are probably going to be stuck with Windows 7.

Sconibulus

well, Windows 7 is almost XP + 1 : () )

StrixVaria

I hope W9 has everything more integrated into the metro UI instead of having half the settings there and the other half on the old control panel.

OrigamiRobot

Win7 is WinXP + 2

badp

@Sconibulus tell that to the people using Windows XP still today

Sconibulus

7:09 PM

I did say almost...

StrixVaria

@badp My fiancee's parents upgraded from XP straight to 8.

Sterno

@badp I find Win XP pairs nicely with IE 6!

badp

Hell, remember when Windows XP had just came out and people whined that it was ugly and unprofessional and slow and bloated? They were looking for Windows 98 + 1. XP wasn't that.

OrigamiRobot

Whereas Vista was WinME + 0.5

badp

@OrigamiRobot but 7 is Vista + 1.

Sterno

7:10 PM

Windows 3.1, baby

16 bit is all you need

OrigamiRobot

@badp No, not at all. Win7 is Vista + Infinity

badp

@OrigamiRobot It's the sequel to Vista just like Windows 98 is the sequel to Windows 95

Sconibulus

it's all about OS/2

OrigamiRobot

I'm not talking about release order. I'm talking quality.

badp

Windows 98 never got a sequel (we don't talk about ME here). Windows XP neither did. Windows 7 is also likely to fall to this fate.

OrigamiRobot

7:11 PM

@Sterno I just use an abacus.

badp

@OrigamiRobot I'm not talking about quality or release order either, I'm talking about "incremental steps that involve little or no relearning of the system"

OrigamiRobot

@badp Then 2000 didn't get a sequel either

XP retconned 2000 as another sequel to NT

badp

@OrigamiRobot I don't know if it isn't fair to call XP the sequel to 2000

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Fail. Doesn't have Minesweeper.

OrigamiRobot

@badp Not by your definition

badp

7:13 PM

XP came from the NT branch of Windows, not from the "customer windows" code

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno I just tape firecrackers to it

badp

@OrigamiRobot then I'm okay with considering 2000 another dead end

OrigamiRobot

A sad one :(

Fluttershy

Sterno

@Fluttershy You are in the wrong place.

Fluttershy

@Sterno The Bridge smells better than a doctor's office, if only slightly.

@BenBrocka We can be sick buddies!

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy I'm not that sick, fortunately

I gave up and decided maybe my stomach was more hungry than achey (that's never actually the case)

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Same. I'm not in any serious danger of needing to go to the doctor. I just have an awful cold.

badp

user43095

Fluttershy

@Fluttershy Doctor's offices usually smell pretty sterile.

Fluttershy

user43095

@badp DOS --> 3.1

badp

@Fluttershy Did you mean... cows?

Sterno

Ben Brocka

7:17 PM

@Fluttershy I just have a...don't relaly know. Just upset stomach and sore/tired as hell

Fluttershy

@badp Whatever works.

badp

@jeffreylin_ Nope, there's a rather fundamental break between DOS (single tasked) and 3.1 (cooperatively tasked), just as large as the one between 3.1 and 95 (preemptively multitasked)

ME is the dead end of the "customer branch" of Windows

People that want an operative system as lean and mean as XP (and able to run DOS stuff natively) have no alternatives

and 8 broke in several ways the expectations of everything before it

user43095

3.0 --> 3.1 3.0 actually had a GUI. :O

user43095

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows is a series of graphical interface operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft. Microsoft introduced an operating environment named Windows on November 20, 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market with over 90% market share, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced in 1984. The most recent client version of Windows is Windows 8; the most recent mobile client version is Windows Phone 8; the most recent server version...

badp

@jeffreylin_ Perhaps! Although 3.1 had networking and 3.0 didn't and that's pretty huge. I was only 5 or so when my father still had a laptop running 3.1 (with a trackpad!), though, so I know very little about those days

fredley

7:20 PM

@OrigamiRobot Let me know so I can answer it

OrigamiRobot

@badp Personally, I'd have XP coming straight from NT and laughing at 2000 on the way by.

@fredley I did and deleted it immediately because @jeffreylin_ already asked it on the 13th

user43095

Windows 8 just about sucks as much as the mobile version of this site.

user43095

wut did I ask?

badp

@OrigamiRobot Honestly my experience with the NT side of things is similarly limited. The only thing I know about Windows NT 4 is that it amazed me how the computer claimed it was saving your unsaved data on shutdown.

Q: How can I convert between EU, MJ, and Blutricity?

I have RedPower, BuildCraft and Thermal Expansion, and IndustrialCraft. Unfortunately, these all use different forms of energy. Is there a way to convert between the three forms of energy?

@badp All I know is that I had a world of trouble moving from 2000 to XP

badp

7:22 PM

In retrospect, my amazement was likely to be fully justified. Whatever happened while NT 4 displayed that dialogue screen, "saving unsaved data" probably isn't it.

agent86

Ben Brocka

fredley

@jeffreylin_ What?

user43095

fredley

@jeffreylin_ Why does it do that?

Ben Brocka

wait was win 2k not the same thing as win ME?

agent86

@BenBrocka 2k was NT5, ME was a bastard child of 98SE

Ben Brocka

7:24 PM

If we don't chat how will you know if chat is frozen?

badp

@BenBrocka 2k was on the corporate branch of Windows afaik

back when Windows and Windows were two different things with different APIs

user43095

@fredley cuz the mobile version sucks and I need to resort to using the full site on a device not supposed to have the full site

agent86

then they scrapped the "consumer" edition altogether past 2k. 2k->XP->Vista->7->8 were all the same codebase, iirc.

just different sets of features enabled, essentially.

Ben Brocka

@badp before they started just having "professional"/etc versions?

badp

@BenBrocka yeah

Ben Brocka

7:25 PM

didn't know they weredifferent codebases, seems...dumb

badp

NT 4 and 95/98 were completely different

For one thing, NT 4 had unicode support, 95/98 didn't

Windows 8: informing all users that windows is shutting down....

badp

For another thing, 95/98 had Direct* stuff, NT 4 hadn't

agent86

man, windows 95. back when it was considered no big deal to reformat every 6mos to a year

2k was such a nice break from all of that.

user43095

@badp well, you're fail, so probably not for you. have you considered being less fail? that does exist, you know.

user43095

badp

@agent86 I am fail for failing to reformat regularly since I've ever owned a computer

@jeffreylin_ It says "Shutting down..." for me, like it did in Windows 7

agent86

I don't think I've reformatted aside from major HW changes in the last 5 or so years.

win95 it was like, you look at it wrong and you have to reformat.

user43095

The defragmenter in XP was colorful. WHY WINDOWS WHY DO YOU STRIP US OF EVERYTHING COLORFUL AND COOL?

badp

badp

At any rate, I think the point is the charger is underpowered so if it did work, the charger would get fried after a while.

Which is better than frying the laptop.

As a general rule when replacing power supplies, match the voltage and get at least the same amount of current. More current is fine.

badp

I bought the current general changer in Netherlands and... I think threw away all the plugs except for the one I needed

I don't know if I did, but I can't find them now

Because V=IR, the same voltage and the same R (the laptop) will draw the same current as long as the supply is capable of at least that amount.

a fault causes more current to be drawn, or some weird eletronics such as battery chargers which demand as much as possible

@StrixVaria It could also be room owner abuse.

@Wipqozn I can't even blame you for that any more :(

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria That's what I get for being a douche.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Technically, I starred something else, and now it's not starred any more.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria No, he is an owner again.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot His name isn't slanty.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria It is for me.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot No, I'm not. @badp removed my owner powers as punishment for being a big meanie.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Refresh.

@Wipqozn meabie*

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Did he get removed today?

@OrigamiRobot A few days ago.

yesterday, by Stack Exchange

badp has removed Wipqozn from the list of this room's owners.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I'm gonna blame cache or cookies or w/e.

@Wipqozn OK, that's probably not before I last closed my browser.

@Wipqozn oh right, when you were being a troll.

OrigamiRobot

@badp should have let me go on another rampage to remove you.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm a pretty awesome guy.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I would add you back if I were an owner.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot so you could remove me?

OrigamiRobot

No, my next rampage would be adding everyone.

If you elect me room owner, I will make everyone who voted for me also a room owner.

(but only for 3 seconds while you're not in the room)

Wipqozn

My favourite thing about ownership is being able to see deleted chat messages.

StrixVaria

> You cannot star your own messages

:(

OrigamiRobot

My favorite part of being a room owner is the respect and admiration it garners.

Ronan Forman

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I get loads of respect.

StrixVaria

It's kind of lame how 4 of our room owners have diamonds anyway, and 2 barely/never come here any more.

We only have 2 distinguished owners.
