I just cold restarted my win7 VM and it worked without needing safe mode. But maybe I was just lucky.Borg said:
I had a black screen, too, for several minutes. It said it recovered the personal settings. So maybe a reboot will do.Borg said:
Ain't technology "wunnerful."Borg said:It *only* took 5 hours to recover my computer...
So I've been told...Bystander said:
Yes, afterwards.WWGD said:
After what? Damaged what, the source mimicking the disk?fresh_42 said:
Reminds me of what I demanded when at school:BillTre said:
For a rainy day, of course.WWGD said:
So not likely needed in the UK, I hear.Ibix said:
It depends whether I mean storing it so that I can have a rainy day, or for use on a rainy day.WWGD said:
Which one is your favorite one according to Rob McKenna's numbering system? I prefer the long lasting ones which we call "land rain" here. IIRC it is number 51.Ibix said:
How about the colo(u)r: do you mind if it is, say,...Purple?Ibix said:
Only if it makes Deep puddles.WWGD said:
I assume it will, as doves will cry purple tears, -- from the way I stretch this analogy beyond reason.Ibix said:
Yes, but the important thing is, that the Ravens got worse as he left.WWGD said:
I used t obe an academic snob until I listened to some of these guys ( baseball, basketball) analyzing their opponents. They were pretty sharp. Maybe not traditionally book-smart, but pretty smart n0netheless.BillTre said:
Check out Sabermetrics. Saber = Society for American Baseball Research. They do analysis.WWGD said:
Interesting links, thanks!Yes, raw talent alone is no guarantee anymore. But I hear the home run surge is a result of the use of saber-metrics. Pitchers know hitters too well , so the batter's best strategy, it seems, is to try to knock it out of the park. I don't know enough about it to vouch for it, but that is what I have read.BillTre said:
I am torn between feeling excited towards the new game and nostalgic for the old one. Nostalgia is not what it used to be...(sigh). Wonder if we will hit a sort of "Minimax" game, as in game theory.BillTre said:
You Americans are obsessed with sports statistics!WWGD said:
It's general world stats, not just sports. A fun book to browse, but getting to be expensive at $15.19 ( Around E13.50).fresh_42 said:
What's kind of absurd is some team names, like Santa Barbara Penguins, etc., a beach team named after penguins.fresh_42 said:
Dangerous territory this is. Some names not pc are.WWGD said:
Talking about PC, I almost got into a major argument because I referred to a female common acquaintance as a colleague and the other person heard instead "Collie", a dog, as if I was saying she is (ugly like) a dog. Surreal, let alone the fact that I could barely keep myself from laughing because of the absurdity of the situation. I sometimes laugh when I am both tired and stressed out. I guess my way of relieving stress.fresh_42 said:
Some people don't like to be compared with dogs. Maybe because they would not come out looking favorable by comparison.fresh_42 said:

Windows 10 perhaps? That's why I'm still using Windows 7 with GWX Control Panel.WWGD said:
Yes, right, Windows 10. Do you get Windows 7 for free?dlgoff said:
Yes. I think so. At least I did. Check here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/WWGD said:
Thanks. But I guess that would imply reinstalling all programs, maybe data files? While at it, wonder why minisoft does not "de-license" software from older versions so that one may have, e.g., Excel 2003 for free or at least for lower cost.dlgoff said:
