I'm about to get a windows 7 upgrade at work[views:3012][posts:33]_______________________________________ [Dec 10,2009 10:47am - the_reverend ""] anyone else do it? the RC at my house on my quadcore is pretty rock solid. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 10,2009 10:50am - the_reverend ""] the only thing that sucks is that it is 32-bit so i will still only see 3.2GB of my 4GB of RAM. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 10,2009 10:59am - the_reverend ""] CRT? not for me! |
| ________________________________ [Dec 10,2009 11:01am - aril ""] Of course I am. But Microsoft is evil. You should know that. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 10,2009 11:03am - arktouros ""] yep. i've never paid microsoft for anything but a mouse, keyboard. oh and one xbox... |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 10,2009 11:32am - brian_dc ""] Would be pretty funny if a top security firm didn't use windows. Actually, they wouldn't be a top security firm then, I guess. Must protect the less than 1% of computer users from e-crime! |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 10,2009 12:04pm - the_reverend ""] if they would embed GNU tools in windows or add it in as a power toy, I would basically never need linux again. Linux commands that windows fails me on almost daily: wc ps grep ll/la/ls |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 10,2009 12:05pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] LOLGREP |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 11,2009 2:45pm - the_reverend ""] I got grep and diff working in windows with Gnuwin32. ok, it's going pretty good thus far. the things that I haven't got working yet are JBuilder2005 (which I need for my work... this is a pain) USB2VGA2 isn't letting me move the display. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 11,2009 2:46pm - the_reverend ""] sound isn't coming out my docking station. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 11,2009 2:47pm - brian_dc ""] "ungh" @ docking station |
| _________________________________ [Dec 11,2009 2:47pm - Martins ""] Is Windows 7 any smaller than Vista? I want to get it to dual boot on my lappy but I don't have much space left on that partition that currently has Vista on it. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 11,2009 2:48pm - brian_dc ""] 7 is about the same size-wise as XP. Much improved. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 11,2009 2:51pm - Martins ""] Well, looks like I'll be putting my .edu address to good use. |

I love Win7 so far, 24 days uptime now. [img] |
| __________________________________ [Dec 11,2009 3:06pm - brian_dc ""] I seriously didn't think there would be a 32-bit version. I actually just assumed this and told my boss that there definitely wouldn't be one without looking it up. Looks like I'll be fired. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 11,2009 4:50pm - the_reverend ""] http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html @porphyria: corporate image. I asked when they would make a 64-bit image and they don't know. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Dec 11,2009 5:25pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Speaking of task manager.... I'd just like to say that I love remoting into servers at work and seeing 16 virtual CPU's. awesome. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 13,2009 10:58am - the_reverend ""] copying 404GB between 2 USB drives = 2-3MB/s = over a day to copy? wtf! |
| _____________________________________________________ [Dec 13,2009 12:55pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Jesus. I hate copying huge amounts of data. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Dec 13,2009 12:56pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] [img] Also.. 16GB of RAM FTW |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 13,2009 4:20pm - the_reverend ""] 4xQuad? which quad? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 13,2009 5:47pm - BlackoutRick ""] So how is it? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 13,2009 5:59pm - the_reverend ""] it's awesome. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Dec 13,2009 6:22pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] the_reverend said:4xQuad? which quad? It's 2xQuad. But each core is hyperthreaded so each CPU is 8 logical CPUs. They're Xeon X5550's. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 13,2009 6:25pm - the_reverend ""] I was just going to guess they were xeons. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 13,2009 9:09pm - the_reverend ""] a windows 7 commercial just blue screened. awesome. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 18,2010 2:29pm - the_reverend ""] I've been trying to back up and subversion all the pics from rttp. http://schleichermann.wordpress.com/2009/1...corrupted-and-unreadable-windows-7/ you have to turn off indexing in your repositories. |
