Naah, not only they know exactly the number but for each of them they have names, e-mail, geolocation and IP of all the connections they made, shopping habits and tastes, right now they are busy dividing the harvested mass into those that prefer vanilla and those that prefer chocolate in order to produce a "Soylent Green" like ice-cream that will fit all. jaclaz

And now a new, interesting feature (taken from Windows 8.1 Phone): http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/06/30/windows_10_wi_fi_sense/ jaclaz

kasperos? Kerberos? That is reported as one of the thingies needed for wi-fi here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/make-a-lite-version-of-windows-xp-with-nlite-a-detailed-guide.597947/ jaclaz

Now would be about the time to start taking *somehow* into account all the POS and ATM's (which unlikely are "detected" by NetMarketShare). As a side note, the good Windows 8/8.1 fans may need to think about why exactly the people they trust with their money (banks and electronic payment systems)still largely use XP or 7. No, errrm, wait, this is not such a good argument those guys are actually promoting Windows 10 AND they are so accurate that they report the year as 2105 , maybe it is not such a good idea to let them manage our money . https://www.atmia.com/news/atmia-position-paper-recommending-migration-to-windows-10/2607/ The paper is actually available to all, not only to members of ATMIA: https://www.atmia.com/advocacy/position-papers/ https://www.atmia.com/files/Position%20Papers/Position%20Paper%20Recommending%20a%20Migration%20to%20Windows%2010%20Operating%20System%20-%20PUBLISHED.pdf Please note how the above pearls of wisdom (which do seem like a transcript from a MS pamphlet) have taken MONTHS of discussing in detail : So, the good guys are recommending an OS that does not (yet) exist as if they had already deeply tested it, with particular regard on security/immunity from cyberattacks and on viability of continuous update, just taking MS word for it. jaclaz

I was only referring to your friend's announcement of the recording that later (unfortunately ) resulted as only silence. Maybe, just maybe, the mere act of attempting communicating with you via Skype while recording was connected with the "botched" recording . jaclaz

Hmmm, wouldn't that fall in the wide category of "to count one's chickens before they're hatched" jaclaz

...and a broken google? http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kebab/archive/2014/04/28/executing-powershell-scripts-from-c.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd182449(v=vs.85).aspx Is this what you are looking for? jaclaz

Well Skype can be distracting. jaclaz

Make your choice: http://www.acronymfinder.com/IOW.html I would exclude "Idiots on Wheels" and go for: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/In+Other+Words jaclaz

Well , someone could say that you were given an opportunity to contribute to change the future and you didn't take it .... jaclaz

Sure . Ahhh the good ol' times when technology worked . Casually the source of the above is: https://www.distractify.com/bizarre-history-photos-1197888488.html A whole site with the sole intent of distracting users.... https://www.distractify.com/ jaclaz

I see , I thought that you were making a difference between being distracted by technology that doesn't work and being distracted by technology that does work. I guess now it is appropriate to talk of microwave oven technology and user interfaces : http://timandjeni.com/blog/why-do-most-microwaves-have-such-a-terrible-user-interface/ jaclaz

What do you suggest instead, Windows Phone or the new one-size-fits-all crappy Windows 10? jaclaz

Well, if that is the only issue maybe you can change your key to a longer one. That thingy there is used also by the good 9x/Me guys see here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/144280-wpa-client-software/ (maybe you can try the later "WSC guard" version) jaclaz

What do you mean exactly by "wireless client"? Would the good ol' WPA Assistant do? https://web.archive.org/web/20050305131249/http://www.wirelesssecuritycorp.com/wsc/public/WPAAssistant.do jaclaz

Wouldn't that be something *like*: for f in *.rar; do truncate --s +1 "$f"; done It's queer that you had 5 bytes added though. With dd it should be: for f in *.rar; do dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 >> "$f"; done jaclaz

Well, if you are using anything but Opera (Mini) on Android, you simply have the "wrong" browser . http://www.opera.com/mobile/mini/android jaclaz

But on which OS? Some Linux? And why necessarily using dd? What you want, more loosely, is to make each file one byte longer than what it is (the added byte will be a 0x00) i.e. to extend it's size, which is normally done with the (not particularly intuitively named ) truncate command: http://linux.die.net/man/1/truncate truncate --size=+1 <filename> or truncate --s +1 <filename> should do. Should be faster than dd. jaclaz

LIkely (but wait for a second opinion by someone more familiar with that thingy) the related settings are in M.I.T. (whatever that means) under: Advanced Memory Settings and under: DRAM Timing Selectable and only IF Quick or Expert modes are selected: Channel Interleaving Rank Interleaving http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2629982/enabling-dual-channel-gigabyte-970a-d3p-mobo-8gb-ram.html All in all, my advice is to leave the whole thing on Auto and experiment with just the: jaclaz

Very likely you get to the UEFI firmware (which is not the BIOS). I know it is confusing , but to clarify (hopefully ) any motherboard has a firmware. Traditionally this firmware was a BIOS. Nowadays the firmware is more likely to be a UEFI. Most UEFI's also a have a CSM (Compatibility Support Mode) which is actually a BIOS . Gigabyte (and it's trademarks 3D BIOS and DualBIOS) is adding to the confusion. In a nutshell it is not that you missed anything in the last few years , UEFI (and the specific Gigabyte's 3D BIOS and DualBIOS approach) are relatively recent. jaclaz

Well, but neither will *any* other tool, when you select multiple files in a GUI program like 7-zip you are simply piping sequentially the filenames list to the tool. The difference (in command line usage) may be that 7-zip allows wildcards, and uniextract doesn't. On the other hand uniextract has the (nice) /sub parameter that in some cases is very convenient. A one-liner *like* (say): FOR %A IN (*.zip) DO uniextract %A /subcan hardly be called "a batch file", but uniextract would anyway use the command line version of 7-zip for .zip files, so normally the "right" way is to use 7-zip (either GUI or command line). jaclaz

The issue is not with AMI, it is with your motherboard manufacturer. You are not a customer of American Megatrends, you are a customer of the guys from which you bought the product, i.e. the motherboard manufacturer, Gigabyte in your case. It would not be the first (nor the last) time that a board manufacturer has modified the AMI Bios to adapt it to a given motherboard, sometimes removing whole sets of customizations from the menu. If you specify/detail the EXACT specific model of your motherboard, maybe it is possible to provide you some more targeted assistance. jaclaz

Now I see. My bad , I somehow missed the "server" in your post . The .cab's are 2 Mb each of course (2048000 bytes) and seemingly the contents are the same as the original Windows 95 iso, the ones with timestamp 1995-07-11 09:50:00: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/135540 ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/MISC1/peropsys/WINDOWS/KB/Q135/5/40.TXT as the "normal" .iso, in practice you have WIN95_02.CAB to WIN95_17.CAB instead of the WIN95_02.CAB to WIN95_28.CAB that was used for the later OEM2/OSR2 release, the around 1680 Kb cab size: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/misc1/PEROPSYS/WINDOWS/KB/Q158/1/90.TXT derived, if I recall correctly, by the use of the floppy install version that used the non-standard floppy filesystem (the infamous DMF format): http://www.winimage.com/wimushlp/wini1a1y.htm jaclaz

All these years wasted in the belief that command line/batch would allow using a tool like UniExtract on multiple files easily.... http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/173484-command-line/ jaclaz

If you are talking of the (otherwise very nice and much beloved) family dog that kept us (my wife and me) all night awake because there was a thunderstorm *somewhere nearby* ("nearby" here, as defined by the mentioned dog means approximately *anything within 200 Km radius*[1]) I wonder how I can actually enforce the contract provision and have the nice F-Secure guys take her with them. I may even give them a monthly fee for this service. Today I could have actually signed that agreement after having read it very accurately. :angrym: jaclaz [1] I quickly checked and it seems there was mild raining in an area no less than 150 Km from home.
