Any recommendations for a boxing or kickboxing gym on the East Side? Maybe around Brooklyn or Queens. I’ve let myself go a bit, so I figured it’s time to get moving again.
The main thing for me is that they don't waste time during class. I'm talking about those sessions where you spend 40 minutes warming up and another 30 just shadowboxing. I don't care if the sparring is light or heavy; honestly, I don't mind taking a few hits to the face if it means getting actual work in.
I have a couple of years under my belt with Wing Chun and some Krav Maga, but I’ll show up as a total beginner without any ego. Also, just a heads up: I'm a 27-year-old veteran at 220 pounds.😁
Some guy tried to lecture me over a typo at 1 AM 😁
The real issue is the author didn't specify if we're talking about 3 or 4 folders or 500. If it's just 3 or 4, you can just use the md command—something like "md one two three eight"—and you'll get those 4 folders.
If it's 500, I guess you'd probably just run a batch file with a pre-generated list of folder names.🙂
Anthony Kern80 said:I'm not really sure where to ask this, so I'll just drop it here. Is there a way to create multiple new folders at once using the command prompt, similar to how you'd do it in Linux?
I guess you could write a batch file with a loop to handle the folder creation.
northernhawk29 said:Is there any way to format a hard drive running Windows 7—basically wipe everything—without having the RAM actually installed in the machine? I’m selling off my entire PC setup. I already sold the RAM today, and I totally forgot to format the hard drive before that happened. 🙂 I don't want the buyer digging through my private files on the hard drive.
Connect the drive to a computer and format it. It probably won't work without some RAM.
northernhawk29 said:Is it even possible to dig in? I have a password set before the login screen, so I'm wondering if there's an easy way to bypass that.
Start -> type and run services.msc, find Windows Update in the list. Right-click Windows Update and hit Properties. Under Startup Type, set it to Automatic (Delayed start), click Apply, then restart your PC.
Gerald Flores63 said:Alright, here's the deal. Has anyone actually managed to install Windows 7 64-bit over a Windows 7 32-bit setup without losing all their data? I mean an upgrade, not a clean install. Every single time, I get this pop-up saying I can't install 32-bit on top of 64-bit. But it’s the exact opposite. It makes zero sense. Tried it on my laptop too, and I get the same error message. Just total nonsense. How is this even possible? I'm running 32-bit, not 64. This is just stupid.
That’s not how it works. 🙂
PS. maybe try installing that same 32-bit version over your current 32-bit installation again. Maybe then the bits will add up and you'll end up with 64-bit. 😁
The other day, I wiped everything off my Toshiba running home Premium x64. I downloaded OVDJE Home Premium x64, ran the install, typed in the license key from the bottom of the laptop, and activated 🙂. It was fine. No recovery needed, just a clean, fresh install 🙂
1. You could just ignore it. 2. It might actually help, especially if you install it via a USB stick. 3. That’s an option too; if the owner put Win on there themselves, they could probably clear this out in a few minutes.😁
If you really want to deal with it, just Google your specific error—"windows 7. build 7600. this copy of windows is not genuine"—and you'll find plenty of answers on the first page. We don't really dive into piracy discussions here.🙂
PS. You should check if the Win is actually legitimate and there's just some confusion. Look at the sticker on the bottom of the laptop to see which Win key it's for (turn the laptop off while you're checking). Then turn it back on, right-click on Computer, and go to Properties. At the top of that window, it lists the Windows edition. Check if that license matches the version installed. If the license is for Home Premium, but you're running Ultimate, then it's likely a pirated copy.🙂
Sean Rodriguez7 said:My PC specs: -64 MB graphics card -768MB RAM -2.0 GHz processor -80GB HDD I'm wondering if I could run Windows 7 on this. I guess I want to know if it's going to lag or cause issues so I don't waste my time trying to get it to work. 🙂
Any help would be appreciated. 😁
It's not going to run well. Honestly, don't bother wasting your time trying to install Windows 7. 🙂
Jesse Green13 said:The real issue is figuring out if the burner is actually compatible. I learned that the hard way. One was a PIONEER DVR-111D from 2006, and the other was some generic drive from 2008. IMPORTANT: Before you try installing this on older PCs, you should probably check Microsoft's compatibility pages. Aside from the usual checks, make sure to look up existing burners by their exact model names.
I have to admit, I haven't run into this specific burner incompatibility issue yet. Besides, according to Microsoft's own site, your PIONEER DVR-111D is listed as compatible:
Maybe you're running some weird version of Windows. 🙂 It seems a bit strange that an OS like Windows 7 wouldn't support both of your burners at once. 😁
Olivia Sanders24 said:Not a chance. Those contributions hit you every single month, then you've got quarterly fees for the chamber of commerce, plus your annual self-employment tax. There’s really no way around it. Honestly, if you don't have at least $300 or so extra every month just to cover those overhead costs, it isn't even worth starting a business—that's actually exactly why I'm currently in the process of closing mine down. ☕
Thanks. 🙂 What kind of stupid schemes are these...
Olivia Sanders24 said:Honestly, you can grab a PC with whatever software comes pre-installed or just set it up with Linux—it doesn't matter either way—just make sure you remember to claim those tax deductions at the end of the year.
In the meantime, just install whatever works best for you. The odds of some auditor showing up just to check if you have legitimate Windows licenses on one or two machines are basically zero—they aren't going to waste their time on a tiny operation; they're looking for the big corporations.
An acquaintance walked into a store about a month or two ago with nothing but a single computer, and he managed to dodge the fine. I guess. 🙂 Tad asked about Linux. He reckoned anything that's free should run on a computer without any issues, I guess.
Is it possible to set up some kind of small business where I only pay taxes based on what I actually earn? I’m not looking for that standard setup where I have to shell out fixed amounts every single month (payroll taxes, or whatever they call them)—I mean, if I pull in $1,500 in a month, maybe I just give $667 part of that to the government?
Specifically, this wouldn't be a full-time 9-to-5 gig. It would be more on-call, and the income would probably be pretty low. Just some side hustle stuff, I guess, as long as everything stays above board 🙂 . Thanks 😁
Peter Morgan3 said:Pff, I never liked Hiren... Gross. I'll keep your advice in mind if this keeps up. By the way, I've never seen anything like this on Windows XP. And I've built plenty of machines, fixed countless others. Maybe that's why I feel like such an idiot sometimes. ☕
Hiren's is fine, it has everything you need. 😁 It's probably best to make sure the hardware isn't the issue before you start poking around. 🙂
Michael Richardson69 said:@Thomas Hernandez21/">@@Thomas Hernandez21 Can you actually answer my question?
Yeah, you can. 🙂 If you download something onto a virtual Windows XP instance, you can move it over to the host machine without any issues. 🙂 It's been a while since I messed with VMs, but last time I moved stuff from VirtualBox to my main OS, I just used the VirtualBox network and that was that. Maybe things changed in recent versions—drag and drop might work now. But the point is, it's doable. No big deal.👍
Peter Morgan3 said:No, nothing goes black—the screen just freezes. It doesn't respond to anything; the cursor locks up and that's it. A hard reboot is the only fix, then I have to select "Windows normally." The Event Viewer shows a "kernel-code 41" error, which is pretty vague. I've already scoured the web for this and picked the brains of some buddies from my CS major... Just an idea, obviously, but still nothing. Maybe there are ghosts in the machine? 😁 By the way, I wiped everything related to Realtek and everything has been running fine for two days now... I guess I'm just using trial and error, so we'll see.
Alright, if this keeps happening, grab a Hiren's boot CD, burn it, and boot the PC from it. Run memtest86+ (let it run for at least 4 hours) and look through the hard disk tools for a program called mhdd (I think it's version 4.6) and use that to scan the drive (once you pick the drive, hit F4 twice to start the scan). 🙂
If anything shows up red in memtest or an X appears in mhdd, then we're in trouble. 😁
Peter Morgan3 said:Zero points for me, man. Well, I guess there was a slight change tonight—I found an issue with the RAM on my troubleshooting list. Strange, because that wasn't there this morning... 🙂
Anyway, Thomas Hernandez21—two heads are better than one, right? What’s your take? Should I try reseating the sticks, blowing them out, maybe swapping their slots... or something else?
Define what you mean by "freezing." Is it a total freeze where the mouse won't move, or does the screen just go black? Because if the cursor is stuck, it's probably a memory issue (either the disk or maybe the RAM).
Douglas Garcia52 said:Look, let me clarify things a bit.
What you're saying makes sense, I guess, but I never actually said anything other than Windows 7 is a major step up from XP, and that any system needs maintenance. 🙂
I think you already explained the difference between an original and a bootleg to someone else.
Windows 7 is a solid system, sure, but it isn't the best. You've got Linux and Solaris out there too.😉
You mentioned that a burned copy is worse than the original:
Douglas Garcia52 said:If it were an original, you wouldn't be having these issues.🙂
No offense, but you're talking like you've got all the answers, even though you don't really have much to back it up. I don't get why you claim Linux is the best when half the professional software—for engineers, graphic designers, whatever—doesn't even run on it. How is that the "best" OS? I suppose it just depends on what you need it for. There's no such thing as a perfect OS.
