  1. I've seen Flash sites built this way, it is an evolution of design you could say. In previous years, the individual SWFs would indeed run on their own. The individual object does not run on its own but requires includes from either the PHP (or whatever) page that it is designed to run from, OR includes from the wrapper SWF.
  2. Parts of the video do look like an improvement over Windows 8.1, but still not feeling that Start Menu. I don't know why they felt the need to put live tiles on a part of the GUI that is not open for more than a couple of seconds.
  3. That site uses a wrapper and only will execute included SWFs if located on the correct domain. That animation is likely in the intro asset shown in their XML: http://www.attraction-lemanga.fr/site/config.xml
  4. Bigmuscle has already said he was thinking of using password instead of Postal Code, so I'm sure he will find the best way to help. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170850-aero-glass-for-win81-125/?p=1083513
  5. Yeah you need add. But you also need to handle your default language. In my example, my Windows is En-US, so I have to put the English line in there too. So basically English (the first "add" in my code) is first and set true, then the others are added too but false. I think you can change the true/false as you want. Just try it out on a test system before sticking it in your imaging process, that's what I did.
  6. There are youtube videos on that page, I thought you meant those. There IS a way to do it, however it involved a bit of work, possibly batch scripting and using a PHP file. The files themselves are in fragments, which need to be individually downloaded. This can be done in a batch process, there seem to be various ways to go about it using either browser plugins or others. Read through this thread to find the information about that: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/342430-F4F-capturing-converting Here are the first two URLs containing the segmented files for your video: http://international.stream.redbull.com/z/media/hds/1892432913001/201409/3093/1892432913001_37631,51354,49103,45155,45158,45136,49135,45124,001_MI201406060001-mpeg4-hd-medium-720-channelSelectionT0C0-T0C1.mp4.csmil/1_a3ed2f8d8e5b9694_Seg1-Frag1/http://international.stream.redbull.com/z/media/hds/1892432913001/201409/3093/1892432913001_37631,51354,49103,45155,45158,45136,49135,45124,001_MI201406060001-mpeg4-hd-medium-720-channelSelectionT0C0-T0C1.mp4.csmil/1_a3ed2f8d8e5b9694_Seg1-Frag2I found these files by using Chrome's web developer panel, and looking on the Network tab. As for determining how many fragmments there are, you may need to watch the entire video (or maybe the end) and look at the the Network log. Screenshot: I also did a google search for "Seg1-Frag1" to find that forum thread about combining the files. Good Luck!
  7. Ah you don't change the locale that way. You use InputLanguageID and the locale value you would use in the unattend. I posted a sample XML file in this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163588-keyboard-language-problem/?p=1046249
  8. Its no waste of time. We all sometimes will jump the guy and make a topic too early and then figure it out. In fact, I had some theory that going through and typing out the problem makes something click in your brain and helps you fix your own problem! I've even figured things out in the middle of composing a thread... So as long as you fixed it, it isn't a waste of time to me. However, this is the Windows 8 section. In the future if you have a problem with Tihiy's StartIsBack, post in the relevant sticky thread instead of creating a new one.
  9. Hong Kong? http://postal-codes.net/hong-kong/ I guess that puts a nail in the zip code part of registration... I wonder then how any other software or website registration handles addresses from Hong Kong?
  10. Xper posted about it yesterday. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/172670-5-million-gmail-passwords-leaked-to-russian-bitcoin-forum/
  11. Those are all Youtube videos and not "streams" (which work differently.)
  12. Cdob, I disagree. This particular firmware for the board is 64bit, but that they change it to identify the CPU as being 32bit. It is true there is no Windows 7 32bit UEFI support, however the board does allow a Legacy boot where Windows 7 32bit should work fine if the OS is in the first partition. I checked with ISObuster, these results. FAT with boot files: The other FAT (Deleted Files and Folders) is empty. Here is their EFI application: As a comparison, here is the boot file for Windows 8 32bit EFI: That Windows 8 DVD is also able to boot on the ECS board. So, unless I missed something, you can boot both the 64bit and 32bit EFI file on this board. Also, the UEFI boot file doesn't seem to care about the architecture of the CPU.
  13. Sure that export is fine. About the Windows Update agent... If this is normally installed using Windows Update, there is the potential to read the Windows Update log to get the URLs of the CAB/MSU files it downloads and download them separately.
  14. One thing to consider about newer computers (I blame the OSes) is that they are not very accomodating to older people. I have been trying to find a replacement computer for and elderly friend of mine and have come up short. It basically comes down to he just can't read on the screen. Tablets and Smartphones are out because you can't change font size. So I figured we'll take a look at some Windows 8.1 notebooks at a retail store. Still can't read that either. No way to make the fonts bigger and Magnifier is clunky and confusing. You can't really change the video resolution to something smaller either. It seems there are no products available for the aging population who have degraded vision, who have relied for years on using Windows XP @ 800x600 with a 19" or greater display.
  15. I know what you mean regarding the CPU. Yes that board is entirely capable of running 64bit code. When I first got it, I couldn't boot to WDS because all my PEs are 64bit. If you attempt to boot to WDS in this fashion, the boot rom is downloaded but the menu never appears and the system then proceeds to the next boot device. In order to use this board, we had to request a custom BIOS from ECS to allow us to boot x64 OS. However, using the stock BIOS, or the updated one from their website will result in a CPU architecture error if you try to boot say, Windows 7 x64 on a HDD. Something like "OS is 64bit but CPU is 32bit." That message comes from Windows itself, in a black screen similar to a BCD error. Regarding the floppy image part, this was what I meant by needing instructions. Tell me exactly what I need to look at and what software to use to do it and I can check for you.
  16. I tested the ATIH2014P_6688_en-US.iso (burned to DVD) and it is able to boot in 32bit UEFI mode.
  17. Google search results only provide a method of finding something. Certainly there are other ways to search for things, and certainly other repositories of information that are not indexed but can still be found through links or even the Wayback Machine. The idea that in court proceedings, you can ask for and be granted the ability to have relevant information removed from consideration of the case's outcome has always confused me.
  18. As I've said before, the email provider has access to everyone's emails. They certainly are filtering spam, this is a given, but they already have said they are data mining emails. That's what this story is actually about, the fact this information was already made public and Google wants to get it stricken from the record. This works in the court of law but means nothing in the court of public opinion. It is very difficult to purposely remove something from the internet but that's obviously not their intention.
  19. If you decide a new thread, I can split off posts from this thread to the new one. Just tell me which posts and where the new thread is. Back to this topic, no kidding on slow download. Might not get to it today. I have already prepared the testing system, it uses this board: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=1371&MenuID=17&LanID=0 It is UEFI that does not allow a 64bit boot, I just confirmed I can't PXE boot with it.
  20. It is in the forum rules: Your other tool thread is hidden. Do not recreate it.
  21. Its not surprising. Email providers already do a fair amount of scanning when an email hits the mail exchanger. For example, this can be were blacklists are used to filter out spam.
  22. UEFI is a firmware just like BIOS is. PCs with UEFI firmware "can" emulate BIOS. I say "can" because it isn't a requirement. Manufacturers may include this option as a compatibility for legacy operating systems. This is typically termed as a CSM even if the "BIOS" menus don't have options to configure it or use that term directly. Some menus do not use the term CSM, but instead "Windows 8 mode" as (initially) Windows 8 certification required UEFI 2.3.1, which is why initial launch products came with 64bit Windows. As of now, there is no such thing (that I am aware of) as a UEFI 32bit PC. Remember the UEFI 2.3.1 spec was designed to eliminate 32bit, so they are natively 64bit. All UEFI "32bit" systems I have encountered are actually 64bit with a firmware limitation to support the boot of only 32bit MBR or GPT disks. You can think of these systems as being lacking of a proper CSM. So to clarify our use of (seemingly) outdated terms... BIOS is the "old" computer firmware, but it is also a term referring to booting an MBR disk. Another term for this is Legacy boot. And since the term BIOS is also (for many years) referred to the BIOS Setup menu we can enter at boot to configure said BIOS settings, it is difficult to just stop calling those menus BIOS. So we are not now (on modern hardware) entering the BIOS, but the UEFI. But we have called those menus BIOS for so many years... and with exception to the new Visual BIOSes on Intel, Asus and MSI boards, many manufacturers still sell products where the Setup menu looks the same as their older BIOS based systems. So understand the various ways people may use the term, then you can probably figure out which meaning they mean. I can't speak specifically for Linux, but I would imagine that in order for it to boot on any specific platform, it would require the appropriate boot rom. In my own experience with Recovery DVDs, I specifically deal with UEFI x64 systems, so the DVDs can boot in legacy or on UEFI systems in x64 mode. Being a "victim" of initial pre-launch Windows 8 requirements, we pretty much eliminated x86 OS support on the UEFI hardware, so no testing of multi-boot (BIOS vs UEFI mode) Recovery DVDs were done on the firmware locked x86 booting hardware. Of course, as myself, I don't delve too deeply into the structure of this or that (I leave that to jaclaz) and instead go for the "let's see if this works" approach. Thinking about this, if you have a concern about whether or not said ISO can boot on the x86 locked UEFI hardware, I MAY still have that board available to me to test with, providing you can give instructions on how to make the boot media.
  23. That post you have found the x64 EFI boot file but not what architecture the WinPE is.
  24. My county's Sheriff department was revealed (earlier this year) to have one of these devices. It wasn't said where it was, but it was actually found during an inventory/budget audit.
  25. Speaking with some norms IRL (none of whome were named Norm, ironically) actually had that in their head. I was asked many times from friends and family members if they had to buy a new computer because their XP would stop working. I blame the FUD being spewed from the television news stations giving this impression.
