Yeah good point worth making. This is for moving My Pictures, My Documents, etc. Moving the content of C:\users\whoever, NOT for moving the directory c:\users
I had an issue with an incorrect address on my Googles business listing thing they tie to your G+ page. Think they had our opening times wrong too, sent them an email and got a call back from America (I'm in the UK) a day or two later and she fixed the problem there and then. We don't pay for any of their advertising services.
Yes to the 32/64bit key being the same thing. I'd argue the retail/oem key thing but you may well be right. It's very rare we see retail copies of windows, so I can't say I've tested it.
I'm definitely going to next time I do though!
Point still stands though that there's no such thing as a manufacturer specific license key.
We buy from our supplier OEM installation discs. It's just plain bog standard Windows as you would buy at retail, but with a different license key for OEM rather than retail. IE you can't use a retail key with an OEM disc.
The license key stuck to the side of your PC, right back as far as XP, is just a standard OEM key. You don't need a special disc from the manufacturer of the PC (HP, Dell etc), just the standard OEM disc from Microsoft will do.
In a nutshell, the keys aren't tied to the PC manufacturer in any way.
Not to mention that MS has done a lot of rectify the situation. With the last Windows 7 laptop I bough, the Product Key included was an actual Windows Product key that would work with any copy of Windows 7. It didn't need a special OEM disk that was available only from the manufacturer. This is much better than the old way where you'd end up with an OEM product key that was essentially useless, because you could only use it with a special CD you got from the OEM which would automatically install all the third party software anyway.
This has not been true going back as far as XP at least. The license keys can be used with any standard clean Microsoft OEM disc/ISO.
From the article : "The machines can also automatically embed all the conduits for electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning, as well as place electronic sensors to monitor the building's temperature and health over time."
You're assuming he's never going to update the storage before he dies. If he dies tomorrow, then it won't take twenty or thirty years for the will to be executed and the drive fired up.
If he lives for another 10 years and another popular interface and storage format comes along then I'd assume (based upon the effort put in so far) that he'd replace the USB hard drive with whatever the next big thing is.
I'm enjoying Silicon Valley. It might have holes in it's portrayal of IT and technology, but at least it's got plenty of laughs and a story that doesn't make me want to slit my wrists (Halt and Catch Fire).
You don't have to pay the TV licence if you own a TV, only if you watch broadcast TV. You can have an antenna connected and listen to the radio with your TV and still not need a licence.
What the fuck is up with all these BBC International links at the moment? We can't view them over here without a proxy/VPN. Surely another source exists?

I know what the scam is, even if this is V2.0, it's ancient news.
I mean what is this story doing on here? This isn't news for nerds.
News for the clueless? Stuff we already know about?
There's no such thing as "too soon" for a joke, but you can bet your ass there's such a thing as "too shit".

Or even easier, just cut and paste the directories to where you want them and Windows takes care of updating the locations.
No. Just no.

Pretty good support from my experience.
Is that as much detail as you're prepared to go into? You'd struggle to get me back to 7 now. And no, I don't use a start menu addon.
He came in my shop once and I gave him a pirate copy of Window 98.

It's not by default, but can be re-enabled easily enough.
I know, it's a bit late for that once the machine doesn't boot, but for future reference : http://www.bleepingcomputer.co...

Crappy camera work but I enjoyed it anyway. Surprised I haven't seen someone do it before (I realise someone may have).
The question remains though, when did this place become digg?

So what was your point again?

It's utter drivel. The first episode at least showed a little promise, but whatever there was they swiftly destroyed in episode two.
The old user accounts database is still there. I just logged straight back in with the account I set up in 2005.

Accidentally the whole solar?
I thought the subject of the thread made my location fairly clear, but just to keep you on track. I'm in the UK. Home of the BBC.

Sorry to reply to myself, but I see it's actually mentioned in the article :D
