> NX can be turned off in the BIOS. Based on available telemetry data, it appears that one percent of the systems that are running Windows® 7 have NX turned off because of a misconfiguration in the BIOS setting.
> To meet the Windows 8 requirement for NX feature and SSE2 instructions support, the Windows 8 kernel checks for these features during initialization. Systems that do not support NX or SSE2 cannot initialize a Windows 8 kernel. Systems that can disable NX in firmware have that option overridden; therefore, misconfigured firmware does not cause boot to fail. An attempt to boot a system that does not have NX or SSE2 support results in a bugcheck. Users get the UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR code (0x0000005D) error, together with four lines of information on a 32-bit system
So I want to install Ubuntu on my Laptop. I first put Ubuntu on the USB key I used to install Windows on the machine. Of course, it can't boot Ubuntu of that same key. For some cryptic reason. So I try another key, which boots (yay) …right into kernel panic
I normally say "flash drive" (flash memory, obv, though with SSDs now that could be a little ambiguous). "USB drive" works too but that could mean spinning rust.
I think I just caught myself over-remoting. I have a remote desktop session to the laptop, where I copied commands out of the browser and pasted them into an SSH session ...to the very same laptop
Also, the better course of action would have been to just refuse to answer the question or direct them to someone else.
@DragonLord And that is not the answer.
Perhaps you are not aware of the situation.
IIRC, at the time (2013) the AUD was actually worth more than the USD (peaking around 1 AUD = 1.10 USD).
Meanwhile, the CS6 package cost over $1000 more.
Specifically in Australia.
> The price for the all-encompassing Master Collection CS6 costs US$2599 in the United States, but Australians will pay $1350 more, at $3949. For the Production Premium model, US customers will pay US$1899, while Australian customers will pay $2886. For the basic Design Standard package, Australians pay $676 more than their US counterparts, at $1975 compared to US$1299.
That has nothing to do with discontinuing perpetual licences.
That is price gouging in the Australian market. To the point where it was cheaper for people to fly to the US (> $1000 in plane tickets), buy a copy there, and fly back.
If you think that has anything to do with the changing business model, then his rambling worked and you bought into it.
> Our market analysis has determined that we can generate the most revenue in the Australian market at this price. However, we'll look into this concern and try to adjust pricing accordingly; please stay tuned.
Is telling the truth this hard?
I understand the pressure from shareholders, but just how hard is this?
You are missing the fact that most business men above a certain level are either pathological liars, woefully misinformed by pathological liars, or idiots who got where they are by accident. See the Peter Principle
Oh this phone is just so awesomely fast. At everything. It's actually quite refreshing.
@Mokubai It's closely tied to CyanogenMod's theme system. I don't think this would be possible. CM also has its own set of API extensions which it probably needs to work properly.
@DragonLord I've considered it before, and I like the openness of an unlocked bootloader, but I just don't think I can use a phone without a MicroSD card.

We just changed ISPs and are getting ready to migrate email from the old ISP's service to another email provider. My parents assert, however, that the ISP's email is intrinsically more secure because the ISP has an obligation to protect its paying customers and therefore provide stronger safeguar...
@DragonLord I think that is an impossible question to answer. It's almost impossible to prove that something is secure. Even if you think you have proved it someone may find an exploit in the future.
On the other hand, if you can find even one hole, you have proved it is insecure.
I need to disable the sound that gets emitted on Windows 7 when a user logs off. I presume it should be as easy as finding the sound file that gets played and renaming it while logged in with administrator privileges.
Can someone please tell me how I can accomplish this?
