The Everything Is Off-Topic Thread

No. & No. ;D You wouldn’t want them docked together and as you become more familiar with it, the freedom of the windows is quite welcoming. As I said, it’s a different world here but once you get used to it, it’s just like making a sandwich.

ONE NOTE: If you use it, SAVE OFTEN, alot of the script plugins will crash, not constant but good to save anyway. Save in .xcf format will allow you to keep all layers etc…open and just like working with a current window and will not merge images.

Sounds like a lot of minimizing… ;D
I’m sure you get used to it.

How is it going with your “mouse/mouse pad” image Paul?
Is the computer ok?

An hour ago I spilled a whole cup of coffee over my mouse… (Mx1000) :o
and the rest of the desktop… :‘(
terrible waste of coffee… :wink: :’(
It stopped working. ???
Picked it apart, and cleaned it. A moment with the hairdryer did the trick. ;D
Now it’s working again. (:CLP)

Good to hear. Although a shame about the coffee… (:AGY)

Well, thanks to Justin’s link with Paragon exact image, I restored my system to a clean state in about 10 minutes! Absolutely fantastic. Forget about drive image 8 , blah, couldn’t even find the image. So I had a fresh install with all updates etc…in no time. Boy was I happy!

Paul

It looked good, and it apparently works too. ;D

Yep, deletes the OS partition completely and replaces it with the image made by user. (:HUG)

Paul

I used to have some software called Drive Copy, by (I think) PowerQuest, which was bought by Symantec. Once I migrated to XP, it no longer functioned. I now have Ghost, but don’t like the program or functionality. They (PowerQuest) had one called Drive Image or Image Copy or something; it had more capabilities than Drive Copy, but both had these in common - it created an exact image of the entire drive, and “hid” it in a new partition (stated reason: no conflict w/2 OS on same machine). This was accomplished outside of the OS, from disks. From those disks, you could choose to change which drive (original or copy) would be the Master, and it would switch those for you. This was in the days before VM’s and all that, so you couldn’t create scheduled copies. By the descriptions on Paragon’s website, these look to be very much the same as what I used to have (with advances in technology, of course). Very interesting. I shall have to procure…

I copied this :my reply to your other post , lol didn’t know you’d post twice on this so here…

Little Mac, Paragon Exact Image is great, Drive copy >humbug. It won’t recognize the back up. Last night my pc crashed “again” and I fumbled around trying to get drive image to work, it said it did and when I rebooted it said “NO OS” found. Nice huh? So I used my Paragon disk for Exact Image and it restored from the capsule to a fresh install that I backed up with Paragon, 10 minutes flat, all my updates, programs etc…IT’s AWESOME. Just a bit of info for you. BUT you should make a floppy\cd\or dvd to run off if the PC crashes, saved my hide!

Paul

As I stated, drive copy stinks, exact image works great. So for you I suggest Exact Image, not Drive copy. :wink:

And the credit goes to the Disney character who beat me to the chase.

About 1,5 minute after me, sorry Soya, I’ll share some of my exp so you maybe get lvl 3 faster :wink:

If it makes you happy I got Final Fantasy IX style back :slight_smile:

And credit to both me and Soya :smiley:

(Now let’s not make this off-topic like LA’s defragmention post, so therefore, I now log out)

Actually, I might’ve beaten you had I not bothered to copy the thread link as well.

FF9 has its own limits like the other traditional ones at level 99. Look at Justin or Mike (level 6688! What the h^ll is that?! That’ll take a year to reach such level).

Sorry, I don’t really understand what you are asking…

Anyways I’ve been stuck on level 1278 for over a year now, can’t figure out how to go higher, Mike have any tips for me?

Try Gameshark

I stopped using GameShark ever since it ■■■■■■■ up my gameboy games >:(

That thing actually fits in a gameboy nowadays ??? (I haven’t kept up with games and such in years). I thought technology and fashion loves to makes things more portable and compact. Or maybe the wiki pic was too big.

That pic was showing the N64 (Nintendo 64) version. They have versions for PS2 Xbox, Gamecube, Gameboy and all those other consoles…

Dont’ know if they have one for the newer consoles such as the DS, PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii…

Whoa there! All these acronyms remind me of my job. I’d probably just stick to PC gaming (and even then I haven’t played in a long time).

Yes I do some mild PC gaming on my Compaq (specs below), it doesn’t have a great graphics card Nvidia GeForice 6150LE, I will be purchasing a RAM upgrade so it will have 2 GB of RAM sometime soon…

I play Halo, F.E.A.R. Online (free version) and MechWarrior Mercs. Looking into other online games for later :slight_smile:

Here’s an excerpt from Groun’hog:

He eat that grease till it run to his nabel
He’ll eat no more hog until he’s able.

Sounds more like Dubya trying to sing a song there…

*. Who’s Dubya?

WTF? How did Dubya turn out to be the president? lol
