I don't like Soluto as post-mortem though, my crashes show up directly in the Windows Debugger. Since I compiled Firefox it even shows me where in the source it crashed. (:
@studiohack As I said, doesn't necssarily have to stop playing the movie.
@studiohack Google Chrome and Internet Explorer for example, create new processes for plugins and/or tabs.
I don't know about Firefox though, but I've known Flash to crash without it affecting Firefox itself. Because the plugin manager is in a different thread.
@JourneymanGeek Too simple most of the times, gives at best a driver name for BSODs but II don't see how it applies to any type of crash. Or did they include stack traces and the like?
ahh Just as i figured, I just rearranged it a bit, and Childrens book :-) Mr. pickle has an optimized cousin called the cPickle. cPickle live in Cland, so he is up to 1000 times faster than Mr. pickle. However it does not support subclassing of the Pickler and Unpickler families, because in cPickle these are functions, they do not go to classes
I wonder if there is a market for books that can be understood by programmers, and they can read them to thier kids , while learning :-)
yup might make the programmer kinda sick too. . . . Then Ms. Kernal turns all blue and starts speaking in tongues . Only a few members of the church know what Ms. Kernal is saying, they refer to the big bible , and translate what it says to the rest of the fleebles.
Ms. Kernal then leaves a big dump in the computers toilet, picking through all the slag in the dump, you can find what Ms. Kernal ate that made her stomach all upset.
@Psycogeek Goes both ways, I haven't been able to take pictures for years. My current has very unrecognizable blurry pictures, the one before that was very of a very low amount of MP. Same for the amount of storage, and so on...
Maybe, but I've never been interested in Nokia, wasted two Sony Ericsson's. Now temporarily using a LG smartphone from someone and I'm waiting for a good WP7 to come to Europe/Belgium.
Hmm, interesting:
> A megapixel is one million tiny colored dots in a photo. It seems logical that more megapixels would mean a sharper photo. In truth, though, it could just mean a terrible photo made of more dots. A camera’s lens, circuitry and sensor — not to mention your mastery of lighting, composition and the camera’s controls — are far more important factors.
some cheap junk (i mean really junk) lists some extravagent pixel ammount for sales, and it will create such picture, but the sencors themselves are not even that quality, they interpolate a lesser pic.
To top it off, after they interpolate say a 3.1megapixel sencor to WOW 12mega pixels :-( they then compress it to death with Jpeg, making it worse than just locking in the pixels that actually existed.
then when they do get a sencor that tight, the light can easily jump registers too. plus the lens(s) collecting the light to begin with, and the needed sensitivity of the chip vrses the ammount of light in existance.
. . . then they compress it to death with jpeg :-)
Storing in jpeg is great, vrses storing the whole bitmap. its just that many of the camera items, "Fine" or "best" is 70% jpeg, which already is introducing compression artifacts.
IMO, all they ever had to do, was allow the best jpeg mode, with caveats of large files, and poor shot rate. even put it way down in an advanced menu
Ah, yeah. The quality you configure. I would never set it lower than the maximum setting unless I'm running out on space. There are probably other use cases though where one wants to be able to take a lot more photos without necessarily being of high quality...
Pretty stupid if they lock people down on the quality in the software... o_O
@Sathya Well, I do double check rumors to see how much they occur and where. There are some US people having problems with microphone quality for example, because the noise cancellation microphone at the top of the phone is too sensitive and cancels out the actual voice. But it's fixable none-the-less...
And well, there is still warranty/guarantee and repair service.
I wonder about the legality of Chevron, although I won't need it due to the DreamSpark <--> App Hub connection. And considerably, the annual fee for a developer account and being able to publish to the market place is still lower than playing games like WoW. But that's something to check in about two years when I'm done studying...
@TomWijsman I heard one phone owner say, they were going to take back thier phone because of a PITA bug in the phone. Here in the US we could take it back in 14-30 days , but if there is a lot of bugs, that make it a pain, and the time has passed, your on your own.
I think carry-in means I can drop/send it at a HTC service center to get it repaired for free (when I didn't cause the damage) within the first two years, dunno...
@Psycogeek Already looked them up so I know what to look for.
Thats weird, is the CMD prompt in windows 7 64bit, 64bit or 32? or am i using the wrong one?
My old stuff has been scripting fine in it. but (smartly Ya right) I downloaded the 64bit version of Devcon.exe for scripting, and it tells me it is the wrong machine.
Yes I figured it would use a 32bit also without complaint support.microsoft.com/kb/311272 I dont have the way to check much of anything yet. 60+ programs installed and i am still blind, and barey operational
You actually need to use the i386 version as the other is specific tot he rare Intel architecture. An Intel processor does not guarantee the Intel architecture, but is actually often using the AMD architecture.
This is what I get running the Ia64:
[Window Title] C:\Users\tomwij\AppData\Local\Temp\ia64\devcon.exe
[Content] C:\Users\tomwij\AppData\Local\Temp\ia64\devcon.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
@Psycogeek: it is the moment things get complex enough
Its taken me over a month to the point where i can even start to work out what a system build should have. I used to be able to walk into a computer store and do it!
i have no idea WTF I am doing, i just wanted a few buttons to turn some things off. I use Wildcards and parts of the big hairy name with Devcon, and was able to make a simple as can be on/off switch
@Psycogeek There was a time where I used to go manually disable/enable the controllers and devices needed to connect USB devices as wel as my ethernet card.
(Because I optimized it by disabling any device I don't use)
Now I just leave those that I switch on, I wish I knew about the tool you use back these days.
In this one i am not trying to optomise, although other times I had to save huge hunks of memory with one device that sucked up 1Gig for a realtime video buffer.
This one is to stop that net, so i can start the other , and visa versa without 10 steps
I want My stuff in there, not microsofts, all my programs and the XP os trimmed, fit onto a compressed backup image of ~2500meg . and I can fix the system using the image in about 3 minutes. windows 7 is about 2x that, has about 30,000 extra files, that take forever to backup.
Devmgr source code is in the DDK, you could inspect what it does under the hood.
Other than that, AutoIt GUI automation is probably the way to go...
I should really be running a script for automating GUI things. But my mind is stuck on my "Running less when idle results in better UI response and performance".
Don't be surprised to see me launch the Process Monitor just to figure out how to decrease the events count even further...
Just a random example, disabled half of the Event Trace logs in the Performance Monitor.
I haven't quite figured out whether I can disable the others...
I had another script fail to work this week, and it was really odd. but mabey clever. I was running a rename to change log-in backgrounds. and also changing the sounds using rename. When I set it to work invisable, the background would no longer rename but the sounds would.
Trying to search for DiagLog is a pain though. Funny typo...
@Psycogeek I had a similar experience when I was trying to schedule a task to run my IRC bouncer on our server, it fails when the task is automatically ran on login but it works when I go and manually execute the task.
I dont change many of the things, i rename them behind the system, its very very fast . rename C:\Windows\System32\oobe\Info\Backgrounds\backgroundDefault02.jpg backgroundDefault01.jpg
@Sathya Its the feeling I get when I see that three remaining bounties impose three banners. But getting all your badges again seems even more weird...
This is actually already in the works. The Announcer / Booster / Publicist triad will behave like other similar badge groups afterwards, e.g. Nice Answer / Good Answer / Great Answer or Notable Question / Famous Question. In particular:
The timeframe will not matter anymore. You still get the F...
@TomWijsman How to programatically disable a device in windows 7 . A) become a programmer
@TomWijsman Well I think i freaking got it. some 80K version, and the first test it worked.
I figured the crud (downloads) they were passing around was the same junk that I had , but it isnt, mabey there was something incorrect, or needing to be compiled or something about the one that MS suplies on their page?
@JourneymanGeek Argh, some young kids. The way he types TrueCrypt kinda makes me think my comment was kinda useless as it won't be done properly anyway. If its his own computer TrueCrypt could help solve the issue, but if it's a shared computer he will most likely have to share the password anyway...
If you guys haven't already seen it, this is a nice gif someone on the internet has put a lot of work in. Its in my oldest mail. As those images can be found on the internet I don't think I need to keep the mail.
I spent the last day learning how to use Git and Github.com. Figured out how to clone and pull a repository on my server to effectively "publish" my website. Now I have no excuse to not work on my website. XD
On Windows 7 64-bit, the user is getting the following message when Windows logs in:

I protected this question. Those 1 rep users didn't really answer the question. Having tons of crap on a fragmented disk slow down the machine is not a malfunction. Or is it?
