Run some 8-bit microcomputer or console emulator atop of it. http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Windows_98 Wouldn't that be ooo-som?

Again, M$ has unhidden six of the updates available on the list. This is ridiculous.

According to my quick search, it's only a typo, and in fact there should be there isn't. Or there is some sophisticated language trick I cannot catch? Only old Win98 physical media are legal way to get that system. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/ff723773.aspx Reference from Wikipedia. Agreement refers to the lawsuit between Sun and M$ about usage of some Java branding, and dozen sources pop up after simple search.

Tried editing different browser different PC?

When did capitalism need a reason to sell anything? If the trend will keep, not for better. Major systems will be more like smartphones, if I can take a guess. According to netmarketshare, not really. I has grown 1/3 of its current state within 2 years, but consumed Mac users instead of Windows share. Actual 2,05% Is pretty close to the third sigma. See above, It's actually getting better ^^.

I see it as an code box while quoting. both double clicking and shortcut captured work. It's also not an image when I select your post and order browser to show post's source. It's <pre class="ipsCode"> this should not be an image </pre> I'm using Firefox on Windows 7 x64 with a few extensions. Providing us more details about your system might track someone to the right solution.

And, out of curiosity, are similar CD's still somehow distributed, or did it all move to the internet?

And actually all his books are hosted on his site ^^ Actually started reading and will keep on during the lazy day at work.

Note to mods: I wasn't sure which board the topic best applies to, I won't feel offended if it needs moving somewhere else. http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/things-every-hacker-once-knew/ An article written by Eric S. Raymond, who, after further investigation, appears to be a major persona in Unix/ Open Source community. The thing speaks about the days of minicomputers, like PDP series, and provides reader with the most important facts about the times IT technology, that are now nearly forgotten - a workflow basics of an IT pro somewhen about 40 years ago. Topics covered include minicomputers hardware, foundations of their OSes and other protocols and technology used, early days of common networks (not necessarily internet) and stone age of computer game development. And, what's cool about it, the whole article is really well written and easy to read for anyone with communicative English and basic understanding of computers - no need to be an expert in geeky terminology from past days. I got so gripped that I've nearly forgotten to get out of work ;P It might be a trip to old days for most experienced MSFN users, for me, and younger folk, it's emotional journey to the lost world form the past, lead by a great tutor. I also recommend checking rest of his website - lots of interesting materials about different topics, mainly IT connected.

Laughs are laughs, but I have a feeling we are having some language barrier here, powered by a sort of panic. shibu, please, give us more details about what happened, including detailed information of what script did you use, and someone should be able to help you

Today vile KB2952664 appeared on my update list again...

Which prayers, if it's not too touchy? Some sample?

Necroposting, but worth it

You are expected to get used to the things you are trying to get rid off. Even if you won't, your friends will. People knowing, what they expect form OS are minority. LTSB is for embedded, and no one's expected to see OneDrive nag or ads tile on a ticket vending machine

This should be added to the first post. As well as an information about .NET/ Silverlight related things. I once wanted to write quick guide and started, but I failed.

As far as I understand, he's calling it a hoax because some major companies claim it is impossible, while it's more like 'not supported' and rarely occurring, according to what you have said

We'd be glad to know the rest of the spec, mainly motherboard and CPU model. Then someone might be able to help. I'm surprised to hear that, when I was completing my current PC I decided to buy Kingston instead of GoodRAM because it was simply much cheaper

Quick googling says you cannot uninstall powershell 4.0 from windows 8.1 : https://www.petri.com/how-to-uninstall-windows-powershell However, if your Windows 8.1 is professional edition or higher, you might disable powershell via gropu policy: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1183987-disabling-powershell-with-group-policy I have never tried running it, but the policy from the post mentioned certainly exist

What's a luck that there are always a good people willing to care f a things, that are set to be forgotten soon. I have a feeling that some not-really-official KB website will pop up soon...

Dropping WE 2012 by M$ triggered some harvest amongst program users, for the benefit of malware/scam creators. Today, friend PM'd me saying: I guess you should know. Movie maker is freeware, right, so why is it asking to get the licence? I installed it form the Microsoft site... Well, first I thought he mentions the EULA, that pops up at first start, but it occurred that it requested the licence when trying to export the movie. And proceed to this site : No https, no Microsoft logo... I told him that MS does not support the download anymore. He tried to uninstall the software and install 'real' Microsoft security essentials from @vwestlife link (digitally signed this time ^^), but system responds that the software is already installed. According to whois domain is there for quite a long time: But with official download cancelled, we can expect to hear more about this right now...

Turbo button didn't wait few months for the software patch to work :>

they didn't claim the photo to be their own capture, to be precise.

Posted today on ZaufanaTrzeciaStrona.pl facebook page. (they are polish guys providing some IT security services and training, also keeping up good website with news and articles about that FYI)

Well, I know that MSFN is rather devoted to technical things, but we have a gamer's hangout, right? Since there are some topics where we can rather loosely comment IT news, I thought it might be a good idea to start topic where one can share a gaming news, or his impressions on some game/event without starting a new topic, hoping not to break any unwritten forum rule with it Or more, I don't think I'll need a new topic with everything like the one below... Sony announced PlayStation 4 Pro might soon acquire boost mode - which means every PS4 game will run better on stronger hardware, not only the one especially prepared/patched by the devs for the consol's Pro version. https://www.engadget.com/2017/02/03/ps4-pro-boost-mode-beta-software/ For me, devoted PC gamer for years, this is hilarius

I just wanted to ask about the same. I hadn't been expecting application, that's explicitly told to use single core to run on multiple - that's why I did it back then. If you say taht's possible, It's cool, but my experience looks more like Noel's.
