[17:39:48] <@Stryyker> It won’t take much to get it back. [17:39:50] <blip-> Rdogg112, prove it [17:39:58] <someguy123> Rdogg112, you could try jazz [17:40:05] <someguy123> i heard it works just as good with jazz [17:40:13] <blip-> I disagree [17:40:15] <Rdogg112> someguy123, Hmm, i do have me some nice AC/DC jazz over here [17:40:16] <someguy123> infact i think you get a faster dial-up if you use jazz [17:40:23] <someguy123> how about slipknot? [17:40:25] <Rdogg112> my favourite jazz from AC/DC is “TNT” [17:40:28] <sekyourbox> I believe the history of IBM plays an important role in what windows is today. It is verry on topic [17:40:30] <blip-> np [17:40:31] <Rdogg112> actually [17:40:37] <Rdogg112> how about some nice country music? [17:40:38] <Majstor> how come i dont have arial narrow installed, does it not come with windows [17:40:43] <blip-> well said [17:40:48] <Rdogg112> as in, Englands anthem.. [17:41:09] <@Stryyker> Lets focus. [17:42:03] <sekyourbox> does anyone type their real information in when it asks you in windows? [17:42:07] <blip-> My friend, a fan of windows mobile phones was saying the same version of Windows 8 runs on PC and phones. How can that be ? It has code optimized for ARM as well as desktop cpu’s ? Or they are ac<sekyourbox> windows installation [17:42:25] <SysTom> blip-: As far as I know they’re very much different [17:42:39] <mota> sekyourbox: that info is optional; I simply bypass it [17:42:55] <blip-> also I just tested this few dats ago, I don’t understand why it exists for PC’s. Is it meant to be used on kiosk/display systems in shops and such ? http://mosaicproject.codeplex.com/ [17:43:02] <mota> blip-: your friend is theorizing. [17:43:07] <blip-> SysTom, ah I see [17:43:14] <Rdawg> Guys, why did u mute me? [17:43:18] <Rdawg> I have a serious problem here [17:43:28] <Stryyker> blip-: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/ is something useful to follow. [17:43:37] <sekyourbox> On November 10, 1983, at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, Microsoft Corporation formally announced Microsoft Windows, a next-generation operating system that would provide a graphical user inte<sekyourbox> i guess it has NOTHING to do with windows you’r right [17:44:07] <ArchRocks> someguy123, on that openhardwaremonitor…. GPU fan 30% does that mean the fan isent working right? [17:44:09] <mota> Rdawg: you need to talk to Stryyker *in PM* about your mute. [17:44:22] <blip-> thanks [17:44:42] <SysTom> blip-: Not sure, what’s it like? (Mosaic project), it kind of makes me want to install it to play [17:44:46] <blip-> mota, yeah that makes sense, it just sounded silly [17:44:49] <compgenius999> yeah sorry i’ll stop [17:44:59] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, no, it’s working fine [17:45:14] <blip-> SysTom, it’s similar to the windows phone main screen UI with these boxes/widgets [17:45:16] <compgenius999> the CPU fan will be only at 30% to save power, it doesn’t need to be any higher unless it’s getting hot [17:45:36] <blip-> though I haven’t used windows mobile newer versions, only seen pictures [17:46:07] <mota> blip-: no Win8 ARM build has yet been released, so your friend is just chewing hot air right now [17:46:29] <ArchRocks> compgenius999, ok was woundering geting a hum coming from it.. the hum will slow down or stop or get louder and faster [17:46:54] <SysTom> blip-: http://www.unwiredview.com/2011/11/30/you-can-now-try-out-windows-phone-on-your-android-or-ios-device/ <- you can "semi" try it out if you have an iOS or Android device, pretty cool [17:47:27] <SysTom> ArchRocks: hum from the fan? It’s probably just thermally controlled- that’s normal [17:47:29] <compgenius999> SysTom, there’s actually an app on android to do that aswell [17:47:29] <ArchRocks> but then GPU temp is staying at 74 C [17:47:43] <SysTom> compgenius999: Nice, I think it’s a great idea [17:47:49] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, 74 C is sort-of high [17:47:53] <compgenius999> what card? [17:48:22] <ArchRocks> Nvidia 8400 GS 512 mb vid ram… PCIE [17:49:19] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, apparantly that’s a normal-ish temperature [17:49:24] <compgenius999> is this in a laptop? [17:49:40] <ArchRocks> k [17:50:08] <blip-> SysTom, hehe that’s nice 
[17:50:17] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, is it a laptop? [17:50:28] <ArchRocks> desktop [17:51:33] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, well that may be slightly high [17:51:42] <compgenius999> you might want to check the ventilation in the case [17:51:52] <compgenius999> is the GPU doing any intensive tasks at the moment though? [17:51:56] <compgenius999> e.g. gaming, playing HD video [17:52:34] <ArchRocks> got lot of ventillation.. no side cover right now [17:52:51] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, is the GPU doing any intensive tasks at the moment though? [17:53:36] <ArchRocks> no [17:54:01] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, it’s not exactly high [17:54:11] <compgenius999> but it’s not the best [17:56:32] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, take a picture of your case so I can see how well the ventilation is? [17:57:36] <ArchRocks> Dont have any battery’s right now for the camera!! [17:58:07] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, phone? [17:58:33] <ArchRocks> i got a cheap phone.. with no cam [17:58:45] <compgenius999> oh rite [17:59:10] <compgenius999> go draw it in MS paint. [17:59:13] <compgenius999> problem solved. [17:59:29] <ArchRocks> hp media center m7250n [18:04:01] <compgenius999> ArchRocks, best bet is to have some sort of fan aimed at the GPU [18:09:33] <ArchRocks> 1 youtube video took it to 80 [18:50:22] <dorp> I’m using Windows 7 64bit, with latest nvidia drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS … but I can’t play high resolution video files at full screen, only small windows (down-scaled) [18:50:41] <dorp> Any idea how to pick “good” drivers? [18:50:48] <SysTom> What happens when you try, and from where are you trying [18:51:20] <dorp> SysTom: I’m sorry, I meant I can’t play them at full screen because it gets “slower” … “stucks”…. [18:51:34] <reisio> dorp: exactly how high res [18:51:49] <dorp> reisio: 1920:1080 for example [18:52:06] <reisio> dorp: is your resolution even that high? [18:52:18] <dorp> (On a laptop screen, 1440:900) [18:53:37] <dorp> I had a similar problem with Windows XP… after downloading different versions of NVIDIA drivers… I managed to find “compatible” drivers and then everything was smooth [18:54:03] <reisio> why would you want to play 1080p on a screen that isn’t even that large [18:54:04] <dorp> How exactly one supposed to find proper drivers? [18:54:15] <reisio> dorp: presumably the ones that came with the system worked? [18:54:21] <reisio> don’t update them next time [18:54:31] <dorp> reisio: I can’t play even half that resolution, I need to down-scale to a very small window to be able to play it smoothly [18:54:52] <Stryyker> dorp: What media player are you using? [18:55:39] <dorp> Stryyker: Tried different players, all have the exact same behavior – Windows Media Player, Flash, mplayer, MPC-HC, etc [18:56:11] <dorp> Stryyker: mplayer’s benchmark clearly shows that the Video Output is the bottleneck [18:57:01] <Stryyker> Have you tried newest VLC and enabled hardware accleration? [18:57:35] <Stryyker> Have you also looked at the nvidia control panel to see what features you can enabled/disable to allow better playback? [18:57:40] <dorp> Stryyker: I actually didn’t bother with VLC, how I’m supposed to “enable” it? [18:58:18] <dorp> (How I’m supposed to enable hardware acceleration) [18:58:20] <Stryyker> Open the options and look for it [18:58:36] <Stryyker> I can’t remember the details. BTW, where did you get the drivers from? [18:58:57] <dorp> Stryyker: nvidia.com [18:59:31] <Stryyker> Have you tried your laptop maker’s site? [18:59:53] <dorp> Stryyker: Very good suggestion, let me see if such are available [19:03:01] <xarxer> Is privileged mode needed to read the current system time? [19:03:37] <someguy123> xarxer, no, i’m sure [19:03:52] <NoReGreT> how can I know which dns server is resolving all my addresses [19:04:13] <PZt> NoReGreT sniff [19:04:23] <SysTom> NoReGreT: ipconfig /all [19:04:24] <someguy123> NoReGreT, check your windows settings [19:04:37] <xarxer> Some_Person: ty [19:04:49] <xarxer> How about switching between user and monitor mode? [19:04:50] <someguy123> NoReGreT, problem solved: use 4.3.3.3 and 4.3.3.4 [19:04:55] <NoReGreT> no what i meant [19:05:17] <NoReGreT> i know that dns requestes are forwarded to my router, and i configured my router to use a certain dns [19:05:31] <NoReGreT> i want to make sure that that dns is being used to resolve everything [19:05:47] <dorp> Stryyker: I’ve found a specific recommended version.. let’s see what happens – thanks [19:06:04] <NoReGreT> nslookup is just telling me that i’m using my router… i know that.. [19:06:31] <PZt> NoReGreT you need to read up on how dns works [19:07:15] <NoReGreT> PZt: I know how DNS works [19:08:09] <PZt> NoReGreT well then your question maks no sense [19:08:26] <PZt> makes* [19:09:03] <SysTom> NoReGreT: depends on the router, you might be able to monitor outbound traffic, other than that- just confirm the right settings are in the router config [19:09:19] <NoReGreT> SysTom: yeah, i guess i have to check the router [19:09:43] <SysTom> NoReGreT: Any particular reason you’re concerned? [19:09:48] <SysTom> You could always change them locally… [19:11:28] <NoReGreT> SysTom: i’m using OpenDNS, not sure if you knw it. The problem is that I don’t think it is using their addresses to resolve, and i don’t want to change them locally [19:11:46] <SysTom> You can check that quite easily actually because they hijack nxdomain by default [19:12:23] <SysTom> ping a non-existent domain, and you’ll more than likely get a reponse from 67.215.65.132 or similar [19:12:59] <SysTom> e.g ping fdisdf324o3ihsfoih43toihosdf.com [19:13:00] <SysTom> Reply from 67.215.65.132: bytes=32 time=73ms TTL=54 [19:13:54] <NoReGreT> great, seems it’s being used [19:26:31] <nosmelc> Any recommendations on remote control software? [19:27:09] <Stryyker> What type of remote control software are you interested in? What are you planning to do? [19:27:43] <nosmelc> Stryyker: I’d like for a few office workers to be able to remote control their own PC from home [19:29:32] <Maarten> nosmelc: setup a VPN so they can VPN in, and then use RDP to their netbios machine name to log on to it. [19:30:03] <nosmelc> Maarten: How hard would it be to setup the VPN on the client side? [19:31:13] <nosmelc> I’ve done VPN site-to-site but not client to site [19:32:18] <Maarten> nosmelc: Depends on what you pick for the host…. in our case our cisco VPN unit is using Active Directory authentication, so they can log on using a password they already know, and we use ShrewS<nosmelc> Maarten: nice. This is actually a small workgroup [19:33:52] <Maarten> Well you can use any type of authentication…. a small VPN router with password authentication could do the trick. You might even be able to use the VPN client built in to Windows XP and higher.<dios_mio> I installed xp just today… and when i boot it right after logging in, it will wait till it will open the desktop after i type in my password to log in, and then i check the RAM usage in task man<nosmelc> Maarten: VPN client licenses come with the Cisco router? [19:36:06] <Maarten> nosmelc: No you have to get client licenses…. for a small workgroup it might better to get a cheaper linksys vpn router or something like that so you don’t have to. [19:39:35] <nosmelc> Maarten: yeah that’s probably how we’ll do it. Use a VPN router and RDP [19:42:15] <nosmelc> Maarten: I thought about using Team Viewer, but that costs like $700 [19:47:11] <SP1> hi all [19:53:27] <Emiru> 4gb, enough to disable page files ? win7 32bits [19:56:28] <uns0undl0gic> Anyone know if it’s possible to initiate an in-place upgrade without being able to boot into Windows? Normally I would say just wipe and reinstall but policy where I work doesn’t allow us to d<dios_mio> I installed xp just today… and when i boot it right after logging in, it will wait till it will open the desktop after i type in my password to log in, and then i check the RAM usage in task man<Stryyker> What version of Windows? [20:00:23] <Stryyker> uns0undl0gic: What version of Windows? [20:00:23] <SP1> hi stryyker [20:00:40] <Stryyker> Emiru: Why do you want to disable it? Generally nothing good comes from it. [20:00:42] <Stryyker> Hi SP1 [20:01:12] <Emiru> Stryyker: Just to know, Im not on windows right now
