Some even have backdoor passwords, so you might want to look at that.

I'm in school and I've seen some peoples work where they are completely dependent on spell check, and what they will do is when something is spelled wrong they will choose the first option in spell check and the sentence doesn't make any sense. For example: "My hippopotamus for the science exterminate was...", now you'll probably never see something that bad, but you get the idea.
And another thing about the cheating, I go to a gifted school (130+ IQ only), so my school always is in the top 5 schools in my province, and we do these things called PATs (Provincial Achievement Tests) to test the different schools compared to each other, and my History teacher does marking for the essays, and he says that very often papers from my school get accused of cheating and their essay tossed out because they thought it was too good for a teenager to do.

Hello,
I have a dual boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu. When I installed my Ubuntu after my Windows 7 I realised that somehow about 1GB of unused space, so I booted up into gParted to add it to the Windows 7 install. While it was extending the Windows 7 partition, gParted crashed and now I cannot boot into my Windows 7 due to corruption. Booting into the Windows 7 install disk and choosing to repair, the start up repair did nothing (hey, I thought I would give it a shot), I ran chkdsk on the drive and it came back saying everything was fine (which it obviously was not). I booted into my Ubuntu installation and ran ntfsfix, which came back saying to run chkdsk, which didn't really help me at all. I really have no idea what to do, and the only thing I could think of is to reinstall (which I would prefer not to do because of all the stuff I have installed on there). Any suggestions?

This thread reminds me of a quote from some one in WoW:
If you say 'plz' when asking for something because its shorter than 'please', I say 'no' because its shorter than 'yes'.If you use spell check you would not be flamed as much, just use Firefox.

The only real difference between humans and primates is our brain. We have a larger and more evolved brain, capable of more advanced thought, thats about it.

A friend of mine has a M3 and he likes it a lot, I've used it and haven't noticed a problem. He also isn't that technically proficient and got it set up pretty easily with no problems.

I have an Acer Aspire One, and I love it. One thing to look out for is that if you live in Canada by chance, the one I got ended up being a Canadian Multilingual with a fucked up keyboard, and it was extremely hard to type on. There might also be other keyboard for different countries roaming around, so watch out. I know at least for the AA1, you can buy a brand new US keyboard for the laptop for about $10, and they are very easy to replace.

The first time I did my MultiPass, my PeToUSB would not work for some reason (cannot remember why for some reason), so I decided to try not using it, and to my delight it worked. I could boot BT4, ntpasswd, Kon-Boot and others without a problem. I am just wondering if this works for other people and if not using PeToUSB limits the MultiPass functionality in some way.

Hmm, I did not know that, does the program just run off of the microprocessor that runs off the CMOS battery or what?

Ah damn, hopefully it will open up soon then... life's a waiting game isn't it?

@Wetwork: Have you checked if your BIOS has a backdoor password, I know a lot do so that if you lose the password you can still use the computer.

I am pretty sure that you cannot start your computer without any interaction, because it is powered down and cannot run any applications. You could easily open the animation and close it, but I foresee problems with it being maximized or it being played (check in your flash player or whatever for options like 'Always Start Fullscreen'). I personally would do this with C++ simply because it is my language of choice. I would do something along the lines of this:
#include <iostream> #include <windows.h> int main() { std::system("C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Flash Player\\flashplayer.exe C:\\path\\to\\flash\\file"); Sleep(however long the animation is plus 20 seconds for loading time); killprocess("flashplayer.exe"); // There are many functions for this, look around std::system("shutdown"); // you could also just shutdown without killing the process }I think something like that would work.

I hate watching movies (or other videos for that matter) on the computer for this one reason: I always get sidetracked and start doing other stuff on the computer, and miss out on what's happening in the movie/video.

The reason for the RRODs (one of the main reasons at least) is that they use these really weird heatsinks, and if you just replace the screws on it to make sure that it is as tight as possible against the C/GPU. This will usually stop the RROD, but only if the heatsink is the problem.

I have run almost every distro that you can imagine (aside from the non-mainstream ones) and I would reccomend either the Ubuntu NetBook Remix or Arch Linux. The Ubuntu NetBook Remix is great because it is designed for the netbooks, and you don't get the problem (as much) of the application window being too big and not being able to click any of the buttons (which will make you VERY angry after a while). And I guess the big thing for Arch for me was the speed. Because you only install what you need, you don't have a bunch of useless crap running on it, especially on startup (although im sure the NetBook remix is quite less bloated than it's desktop counterpart). I would really recommend whatever you feel the most comfortable with. If you are used to running Ubuntu or its derivatives on your desktop or other laptop, use it, if you don't really care, find one you like. I've gone through about 20 different distributions on my AA1, and I am gonna stick with the Ubuntu NetBook remix I think.

And C++ versus C was OOP (Object Oriented Programming) support. The original name of C++ was actually C with Classes.

Could you please say everything you did exactly, you might have missed something because that is all I can think of. Also, have you tried it on a different computer, might just be something on that one computer.

Another thing with assembly is that you can run into issues running code on different platforms if I am not mistaken, which could create potential problems due to the fact that you would have to rewrite some of the program to get it to work on a different computer, were as with a programming language like C/C++ the compiler creates the program per platform based on the code, so as long as you aren't using any OS specific libraries, the code should compile on every computer (with C/C++ installed to a correct version) without a problem.
-
And another thing with Assembly you can really shrink the program down and make it more efficient.

If you got to the SourceForge page, look near the bottom on the download page, there are several applications that you can download, and the grub installer isn't the first one on the list.

miT, could you send me one of those invite codes please? It looks like an interesting service, and I wanna try it out, and I need a VPN. What are the speeds on it?
-
Well, it would be feasible, just would need to make sure the amps were low enough not to cause any harm. I would like to see that, I can imagine the pain involved if Darren tried to make that, lol.

I remember when I was 10 when I first started to 'hack' it was on my dad's laptop with some form of ntpasswd, and I somehow screwed up the MBR and the system wasn't bootable. That was the scariest 3 hours of my life until I found out you could easily fix it, lol.

The space on the USB right? Not the space on the HDD of the computer you are booting off of?

The ball you can balance without it moving, so its not that much of a problem. What I found to be the best strategy was to look at the spikes while getting the boxes with peripheral vision.
