if your using standard defrag on xp and have lots of drives and cant be bothered to defrag one at a time I worked out a little trick to defrag em all in one go ( so you can go to sleep and it be done by the morning) make a txt file type the following depending on how many drives you have: ----------------------------------------------- defrag c:-f defrag d:-f defrag e:-f defrag f:-f defrag g:-f ( and so on and so on) shutdown -s -f -m \\"ur computer name" -t 5 ----------------------------------------------- then save but not as a .txt , save as a .bat instead. then when you double click the file the computer defrags all your drives then shuts down after 5 secs. :) |

I had to google to figure out how to turn off this one annoying microsoft popup window that appears when a program crashes (happens all the time in python) that asks if I want to report the problem to microsoft. Now it never appears (had to go to the registry and change a 1 to a 0 or something complicated). I've only used a batch file once for a doom2 recording. |

i know the thing you mean ! just incase you don't know already and for others if interested: some times crashes and poor performance are caused by a poor tuned bios. a way to find out if your bios is tuned o.k find out the max temp for your cpu download coretemp " " prime 95 run core temp then run prime 95 , make sure the temps do not exceed the max recomended whilst they run. if prime95 runs for more than an hour you have a pretty well set up bios, if it crashes after a few minutes or even seconds you need to tweak the volts in the bios a little bit up or down. if the temps go above your max recomended turn off prime95 immediately and fix improve the cooling. worth knowing, but y need patients to do this type of sh*izen. :p |

A good tip and trick for "ur IDM" is to not use shitty operating systems like Windows XP and Mac OSX. |

Sorry my friend, but using Linux is not elitist by any conventional means. Paying for your software is the most elitist think you could possibly do... |

Linux attracts a strange mix of professionals who use it for what it's good at and big babies who use it to compensate for lifestyle deficiencies. I leave it to the reader to hazard a guess at which we're seeing in this thread. |

I like linux and use it almost exclusively, however it isn't always possible to use it for everything. Freqy has kindly posted up something which may be useful for people using XP for whatever reason that may be. Sometimes I get annoyed by Freqy's posts, but here he has shown what an asset to the community he is. I don't think you should be critical because he uses a "shitty operating system". Your argument has numerous flaws. Semantically, it depends upon how you define an operating system. OSX is based on BSD, and if you have any sense, you wouldn't go around bashing BSD for being "shitty". Don't be fooled by the snazzy graphics layer on top. Secondly, an operating system is just a tool. Use the most appropriate tool for the job. I prefer to use linux when I can, but this is not always possible, so I end up using "shitty" XP. Clearly XP is not "shitty" here because it allows me to do what I need to do, whereas linux cannot. By all means mock apple fanboys for worshipping overpriced commercial off the shelf parts in pastel boxes with sanded corners and massive markups. Mock windows for whatever reason you want, but don't mock helpful advice. Using linux isn't elitist, but going around implying you are superior because you use it is being elitist. |

You have an odd conception of what makes something good/bad. Just because you use something doesn't mean it's good. Whatever you're using XP for, it's probably related to the fact that Microsoft owns 85% of the consumer operating system market and some software you're trying to use isn't natively available on Linux. So, now something is good or bad due to how many users it has? If we applied that concept to electronic music, then we'd be fans of some of the worst music ever made in the last 20 years! OSX is awful because it sheds any of the positive aspects of BSD, while also putting one of the most bloated and unintuitive interfaces possible sloppily on top of it. Windows is even worse because not only is the interface terrible, but its kernel streaming and its idiotic "registry" system make it extremely inefficient and unintuitive to programmers. I never implied I was better than anybody. You implied that. |

So linux is good because I can't use it for my purposes and XP is bad because it lets me do what I want to. Hmmm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I didn't say that at all. What kind of fucked up logic is that? I quote myself: Windows is even worse because not only is the interface terrible, but its kernel streaming and its idiotic "registry" system make it extremely inefficient and unintuitive to programmers. How does that even come close to what you just spouted out? |

"You have an odd conception of what makes something good/bad. Just because you use something doesn't mean it's good. " Ultimately a computer is just a tool. For my particular application, I could not use linux. I would have preferred to and did indeed try to. I ended up using XP. XP got the job done, so it is good. Also, OSX and XP allow one to argue on the internets, so clearly they're not all bad :) |
