[TheEnglishman]

The aim of the topic is this: You can discuss anything and everything that's on your mind, as long as you don't use any memes. Allow originality to follow and not be binded by pictures of cats with mildly amusing captions.
We can use this as a test. If GSSF manages to hold a conversation without resorting to memes, there's still hope left. If not, we might as well bite the proverbial bullet.
Go!

...

Does Rick Roll count as a meme?

[TheEnglishman]

If you have to ask yourself the question, then it probably is a meme.

[Aquamarine]

Okay, so I won't post it.

C'MON GUYS, WE CAN DO THIS! WE'RE STRONGER THAN SOME PATHETIC INTERNET MEME!!

Anyhow, i heard u lik-

ARGH, that was close.

[TheEnglishman]

I'm keeping an eye on you Aqua....

[Aquamarine]

It's not me! It's the power of the internet memes! I don't know how much longer I'll be able to control myself!

EDIT: Nos has been viewing this topic for a very long time now. I bet he's getting every internet meme he can think of so he can post them all in a single message.

EDIT2: Guess not.

[Nosferatu]

I was thinking about it. Decided to let it be.

No meme COULD be a GSSF meme...

[Ironsight]

No...don't do it Nos...

[TheEnglishman]

Haven't we got anything to say?

Like doughnuts?

I like the sugary ones with jam in them.

[TheEnglishman]

I like them. Just not if I've got a nice shirt on because that's when it goes all over you.

[Kuchiyose]

Don't finish that, for finishing it would create a meme.

It sure is HERESY in here.

THIS IS NOT SPARTA. THERE IS NO MADNESS HERE.

Only GSSF.


SO ANYWAY.

I called my mom after school to come pick me up, right? Well she asked if there was any computer in the house she could print some documents off of (my dad took his laptop, and all the other computers make the printer spew gibberish), and I told her my old Dell had the software for it.

So she goes and turns it on, etc. etc., comes to pick me up. Like usual, I crash on the couch until about 7:30, at which time I went downstairs to turn on my computer.

And then.....

then.....

I realise that my new computer, not the Dell, was missing a hard drive with 140GB of my life on it (music, movies, pictures, important files).

I opened up the storage management console to find that Windows determined my hard drive was unallocated (basically, it has a file system, but the drive hasn't been cut up into sections [i.e. partitions] for stuff like your operating system. Most people only have one partition per drive). Usually this means that the Master Boot Record is damaged or corrupted. So I was like, "......WTH?!", and ran upstairs to ask my mom what she did to it.

Apparently, all she did was turn it on. Nothing more. Why in God's name she figured she had to turn on the Dell and my computer is beyond me.

She also said she never turned it off, yet it was off when I found it. Since I have it plugged in to an Uninteruptible Power Supply which is on the floor, I figured she must've bumbed the "test" switch which switches it to battery mode instead of passthrough. It's only designed to sustain 300Watts for a few minutes, and with one of my CRT monitors and my desktop plugged into it, it wouldn't have taken long.

So anyway, I thought my files were temporarily unavailable (an MBR is fixable, I just couldn't remember how to fix it). I then remembered a tutorial I read on PCSTATS about how to recover lost files on a hard drive, so I began to follow the steps.

I moved the hard drive to my Dell and started up the old rig expecting to not see a "D:\" drive. Low and behold, my 25oGB hard drive was recognized, and all the files were intact. A sigh of relief, followed by a wtf.

My new computer was also running unusualy slow, so I figured the sudden power loss cause some kind of corruption to the opperating system (my taskbar was even on the wrong screen, and some icons were out of place), so I found the ISO I had of XP Pro and my key, burned a new disk, and went through the repair process.


Needless to say, the whole ordeal took about an hour and a half to two hours of my time, but everything seems to be okay.



Just thought I'd share that interesting, short little story with you guys.

[Nosferatu]

tl;dr

[Toasty]

:blink:

[Split Infinity]

Next time back up your junk...

[Toasty]

It's all there, so I don't need to worry.

But when I have enough cash, 750GB e-SATA drive + 4 250GB drives in a RAID 1+0 array. And after that, maybe a server.


I've been thinking about trying to get a file server up and running in my house. I'm constantly pulling up files that are on my PC from other computers in the house for various reasons, and I still transfer files between my Dell and PC. A file server would be great, but I don't exactly have all the hardware.



Anyway, I found out today that the A+ guys (including me) have a direct line to the internet. It's a WAN port. Unlike the jack at all of your guys's houses, this one doesn't connect through an ISP. We are the ISP. Which is mother freaking awesome. Plus, we have a fiber connection.

So I just finished putting together a server so we could connect to the internet, and it's running Fedora 9.

[Split Infinity]

A person who doesn't play PC games does not need a hard drive that big.

[Toasty]

PC gaming isn't the only thing that requires massive storage.

Besides, I want to dual/tripple boot OS's. A guy at school who's developing part of a kernel for Apple (dead serious there, they even give him free prototype stuff to keep, lucky *******) modded the kernel of OS X Leopard to run on an x86 architecture, so I could even run that alongside Ubuntu/Fedora and XP Pro. Heck, I might even try Vista.

[Split Infinity]

Who the hell needs that many frontends? It's just a waste of power.

[Toasty]

Obviously so you can run a multitude of different programs. Or to test programs and code to see if they work properly.

[Split Infinity]

Huh...

I've always wanted to try Linux on a partition, only I'd have to reformat the drive, and since the machine only has USB 1.0 the backup would take a stupid amount of time.

The BIOS doesn't support booting from USB either. 8/

[Aquamarine]

Be quiet nerds.

[Split Infinity]

Oh that's right, you're a Ninty fanboy. Yeah, you're not used to that technical stuff, everything has to be user-friendly for you. I bet you're a Mac user as well. :blink:

You're out of a job. Kind of like when your mom took up abstinence.

Please tell me there are people that ask if they can a game for one system on another. Like a 360 game on a PS3. Please tell me there are people that stupid.

[Blue]

No, its all Wii. If it was another system then I would tell them that they failed and should consider an hero.
