Right, so you know the file extension and get a multiple choice on operating system, which could run on a pretty wide variety of x86 compatible processors (OS/2 was released for 80286, 80386, and 80486, Windows is 80286+, and DOS is 8086+)

My point with 1 - Identifying the files would instantly tell you the other things you want to know. 2 - So, you don't know what operating system they run on. 3 - "no, thank god." - isn't this exactly the information you're asking for?

@TomasBy - I think your question probably needs to be more specific. To me, the question reads like this - "I have random executable files that I don't know what are that I want to know how to run." The problems I see are: 1. You don't know what the files are. 2. You don't know what operating system they run on. 3. You don't know what architecture their respective operating system requires. The question is akin to asking how to perform a complex surgery without knowing the species or any details about the operation required (surgery on a squirrel is very different than an on a giraffe).

I guess "have" would be a better word, but I never use it...

I had one of the original run of betas that Google sent out

I loved my little Chromebook

yeah, it's a little generic, but that's just what people generally accept as a hot plate. We are really bad at abusing our own language (then complaining when foreigners don't know the words)

"hot plate"

ok, anyway... so I am working essentially on the same product, still programming, but I'm working on the billing part of the suite instead of the rating piece

that is so not a word that ANYONE uses in modern English...

ok... I did a "define:hob" search... "a flat metal shelf at the side or back of a fireplace, having its surface level with the top of the grate and used esp. for heating pans."

I caught that, but like... what is it?

so much is lost in translation... what exactly is a "kookplaat" seems like maybe a microwave or something, but Google translates it to "hob"

I have switched teams from the Insurance Policy team to the Insurance Billing team

yeah... too bad :(

nice looking place... wonder if we have an office nearby...

you know, it's funny... I saw this page and I didn't even think about it being in Dutch(?)... it took me a good minute to realize that Chrome had offered to translate it

I may want to move to another country...

ohh... where?

so what's been going on around here?

started up again yesterday

no, that's the problem... I wasn't! I finally decided to start using my lunch breaks during the week to run

(there, I fixed it)

sorry... it's bad... wrong way, I take 45.6 more seconds to run a mile

and in the past 3 months my average mile time has increased 45.6 seconds

someone locked me in a cave...

@IvoFlipse yep, good to see you!

I didn't know gmail would do that for you... Google 1 : Microsoft 0

I'm not as keen on the quads... they're not as maneuverable.

a friend of mine just bought a little quad... Nano QX I think

either one of those can easily carry a camera

I do want to get a 500X or a TRex 600

I'm not entirely sure it's strong enough to pick up a GoPro

I bought a Blade 120SR

I've been playing with my planes and helicopters in what little spare time I've had lately

ooh nice

sweet, what did you get?

how's things?

hello people

too quiet

yeah, it's actually an opportunity for a complete career shift

but HI!

@MonicaCellio I've hung around in here before :) I've been too busy to hang out in chat rooms much the last few months

honestly, in a few weeks I'll probably forget that it happened and then try again and repeat the whole thing over again

that's ok though, although I am a little worried about having to play music tonight... I play bass on Tuesday nights for a Celebrate Recovery group (actually, I'm running the group now...)

yeah, not the kind of pain they had in mind, I'm pretty sure

hurts right at the base of the shoulder blade, near the spine... think I pulled a muscle

LoL... yeah, I did one... but now I can't lean on my elbows on a table while I'm sitting down, among other things... and yeah, I had issues with my right arm, this is my left shoulder

well... I injured my shoulder Sunday night trying to do a pull-up...
