Post what you are thinking at this very moment

[Hal-9000]

Think i know what the issue is, i'm running Win7 Ultimate and the options in that download from Porky's thread only list home and pro.

over and above them not listing your version, you saw DGX's post about people that are using non legit OS's?

it was a little confusing as to what will really happen :lol:

[Hal-9000]

Hmmm :-k

This is why I'm doing Porky's thing on a USB drive. I don't want to/trust upgrading my Windows 7 installation right now, things are working fine as is :thumbsup:

Bollocks :lol: Fuck it, will take 2 seconds to patch/crack anyway :mrgreen: Ill do a fresh install when i get the time!

[Hal-9000]

If I wasn't changing my service provider tomorrow morning I may have tried this.

I don't have faith that any new OS will run smoothly even if there is an option to revert back. Who knows, maybe MS actually will make a smooth transition....they'll do it without me for awhile :thumbsup:

Q. I have a laptop and own the copy of Windows 7 Ultimate that is installed on it. I need to upgrade that laptop to Windows 10. However, after the upgrade, I would like to install the Windows 7 Ultimate OS into VirtualBox along with our old Windows XP copy for demonstration purposes. Can I do that?

A. NO. Since you are using the Windows 7 Ultimate license as the base for upgrading to Windows 10 on that device the Windows 7 license is locked to that machine and is not able to be moved. What you can do is upgrade that Windows 7 Ultimate machine to Windows 10 Pro, the version it is allowed to upgrade to.

Hmmm :-k :confused:

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Hmmm :-k :confused:

1. Win 7 Ultimate will be = Win 10 Pro
2. The win 7 key will be used as you win 10 key, so no longer good for windows 7, so you wont be able to make a VM with the old key to run win 7, you would need another win 7 license
3. We found that we cant upgrade anything (Win 7 pro) with Volume License key, so if you have one of those it looks like it currently wont upgrade

[DemonGeminiX]

Ah................. Leave it!!!

Well... it's installed on one computer. I'm not so sure about this. I'm gonna have to play with it for a little while.

Thinking when I get the email that I can upgrade to Win 10 from Win 7 should I? Or will everything slowly be incompatible with Win 7 it's evil I tell you evil :hills: :evil:

I swear to God, every time I switch Oses, the audio jacks switch functions on me. When I had 7 on there, it was the audio jack on the left that was the main. With 10, it's the one in the center. I wish these idiot programmers would make up their damn minds!!! I spent an hour looking for a freakin' driver before thinking of switching the jacks.

Oh shit. I'm looking into the dual boot situation on the monster rig and from everything I'm reading, setting it up is gonna be a huge bitch.

He's running a line from the house to the alley lines....he's cut an old line we've had outside the house since I was born....he's going to use the phone jacks inside the house for something...he may or may not use the old cable line from my current provider...and I think all of this will be controlled by some sort of wireless router or device the TV and the PC will both work off of.

We will be getting a wifi signal through that device as well.

nice hardware down to the remotes and my old Sony TV looks amazing...I used to have a basic cable package (crappy signal coming in) and a crappy converter that rendered SD channels at best

this new setup is the most basic TV plan, tons of channels and they look HD...didn't know my TV could looks this good.


Internet is great too....did a test and I'm getting 27Mbps (rated at 25Mbps according to the plan) downloading and 7Mbps uploading (rated at 5 Mbps)

may not sound like much but I was getting 12 downloading and .5 uploading from the last provider...at about twice the cost, this is awesome

buddy said the way the tech works my minimum download speed will be 25 Mbps because it's not affected by users or time of day...

If you shut your computer off, the router should stay on. Shutting your computer down shouldn't interrupt anything.

Everything is hardlined down here....wtf they talking about Willis being wireless?....I don't get the terminology.

Damn, the TV's look good tho

[DemonGeminiX]

Your router is already wireless. I can tell just by looking at it. The PVR is not. He may have been trying to upsell you into buying wireless PVRs. Basically the PVR would just sit there not connected to a router or through a wall connection. Your PVR would be hardline connected to your TV and the wifi will work with your PVRs.

Like you've already discovered, you could set up your smartphones and tablets to use your wireless router instead of using the phone/tablet data. It's a good way to save your data on your phone and tablets.

Also, you could get wifi-enabled TVs and/or bluray players and if you have subscription services like Netflix, Hulu, etc, you'd be able to connect your wifi-enabled TV/bluray player to use those services over the router instead of using those services on your computer. My bluray player's wifi-enabled but I haven't used that feature yet. I don't have Netflix or Hulu, but I think I can access my Amazon Prime account through it and Youtube as well. I just never do it.

I never shut off my router. I'll occasionally power cycle it (basically, just reboot it from the computer on a settings menu that you pull up in a webpage... they should have some literature telling you how to do that and what the web address is), but it's a rare thing. It'll shut down when we lose power during storms, but it'll restart when the power comes back on. With the PVRs, I do the same. Occasionally I'll shut them down but it's few and far between.

[Hal-9000]

Ok this is where I get confused DGX old friend....you say it's wireless and I have no doubt you're right.

So how come I see one line to a regular power outlet, and two more lines going into the wall?

I understand that the unit needs to get power from somewhere, so really is the term wireless just a potential service it can provide to other devices?
Because the back of that thing is anything but 'wireless' :lol:

The two black antennas on the back of the router are broadcasting a wireless signal field. The router's not receiving a wireless signal, it broadcasts the wireless signal that your wireless devices can use. That's where the wifi comes from. You can connect wirelessly to the router.

The router gets its power while plugged into an outlet in the wall. You can't do that wirelessly, at least not to my knowledge.

Your router is the central hub.

You got 3 lines coming in to the router: Power, coaxial (which is carrying in your cable TV), and conditioned phone line (which is carrying in your internet/phone line).

Your conditioned phone line: Does your dongle line(in the pic) go to the router? Or does the dongle line go to a phone? They changed the nature of the phone signal on the outside so that it can carry your internet. I call it conditioned. It's not a scientific or official technical term, just my personal jargon for it (I'm using a ton of fucked up language in this, actually :lol: ). It's not a pure landline phone signal anymore. The phone landline is still there, it's just masked by the internet signal. Back when I had DSL, the dongles removed the conditioning from the phone line so we could plug in and use the phone. Without the dongle, the phone landline wouldn't work, we'd just get a whole lot of noise. One single undongled phone line, which sent and received data over the internet, went into the router. Is that what's going on there? Is your dongle line in the pic going to a phone?

You got 2 lines going out of the router: Yellow goes to PVR which is connected to the TV (carrying the cable), and white goes to your computer (carrying your data to and from the internet).

Your sister connected wirelessly with her Tablet, so the router is broadcasting its wifi, you're just not utilizing it.

Does that help any?

[Hal-9000]

Completely and thanks. I'll address the questions tomorrow when my eyes are less red :thumbsup: I had to go out with my twisted sister for a bit.

The terms are so misleading. Wireless router. Well, it's not really a wireless standalone unit without connections. It creates a field so other wireless devices can use the signal.

I have a wireless keyboard and mouse. They do not have wires leading to walls or ports or power bars. They are truly standalone pieces of hardware. Without wires. :thumbsup:

So I send them another note through their site....you've done this, it didn't work, now change my email please and thanks. And by the way, asking users for their passwords via email is a bad practice.

Yeah, but it's wisdom teeth, so they're way in the back....that's holding you mouth open super wide for a long time :lol:

[Hal-9000]

I'm getting better than paid for speeds on the net consistently and our TV's look beautiful.....I'm happy we made the change.

Not to mention the literal hundreds of dollars savings we're getting :thumbsup:

[Hal-9000]

Yeah, but it's wisdom teeth, so they're way in the back....that's holding you mouth open super wide for a long time :lol:

That's one thing that I can't do as my masseter muscles are constantly in trauma....my jaw has locked during cleanings and you wanna talk embarrassing? :oops:


you'll be good unless your dentist is a hack...he'll be done in no time :thumbsup:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Two wisdom teeth fillings, he said it'd be about an hour

[Hal-9000]

I haven't had a filling for years....they go easy, don't worry

[Hal-9000]

gotta go back to the ISP place and get my Dad some sports channels

brb

[Hal-9000]

that was nice...hit the mall kiosk and get 6 new packages of channels (on top of the essentials, which is about 100 channels) for an additional 15/month.

the sports package in itself has about 15 channels :thumbsup:

The two black antennas on the back of the router are broadcasting a wireless signal field. The router's not receiving a wireless signal, it broadcasts the wireless signal that your wireless devices can use. That's where the wifi comes from. You can connect wirelessly to the router.

The router gets its power while plugged into an outlet in the wall. You can't do that wirelessly, at least not to my knowledge.

Your router is the central hub.

You got 3 lines coming in to the router: Power, coaxial (which is carrying in your cable TV), and conditioned phone line (which is carrying in your internet/phone line).

Your conditioned phone line: Does your dongle line(in the pic) go to the router? Or does the dongle line go to a phone? They changed the nature of the phone signal on the outside so that it can carry your internet. I call it conditioned. It's not a scientific or official technical term, just my personal jargon for it (I'm using a ton of fucked up language in this, actually :lol: ). It's not a pure landline phone signal anymore. The phone landline is still there, it's just masked by the internet signal. Back when I had DSL, the dongles removed the conditioning from the phone line so we could plug in and use the phone. Without the dongle, the phone landline wouldn't work, we'd just get a whole lot of noise. One single undongled phone line, which sent and received data over the internet, went into the router. Is that what's going on there? Is your dongle line in the pic going to a phone?

You got 2 lines going out of the router: Yellow goes to PVR which is connected to the TV (carrying the cable), and white goes to your computer (carrying your data to and from the internet).

Your sister connected wirelessly with her Tablet, so the router is broadcasting its wifi, you're just not utilizing it.

Does that help any?


:-s

To answer any and all questions this is what I know. We have existing land line phone jacks throughout the house. Buddy first tells me he's going to use them, then creates that white box in the wall in the picture. There was not a phone jack there before he arrived. He also showed me a little unit that had what looked like three phone jacks and he wired that into the existing cable line.

As far as dongles, conditioning and rest, I'm lost :lol:

You lucky bastard!

[Teh One Who Knocks]

You lucky bastard!

:snapout:

Back of my jaw is pretty fucking sore this morning :lol:

It was actually really cool of him, when he started drilling for the 2 fillings I was originally there for, he noticed that one of my older fillings was cracked and a piece of it had broken off. Since I was just there a month ago for a check-up and cleaning, he thinks he missed seeing it, so he drilled out the old filling and put a new one in for me at no charge. :shock:

[Goofy]

I don't mind getting fillings tbh, the only part of visiting the dentist i don't like is getting the injection :lol: I always worry i'm gonna twitch and the needle's gonna snap in my gum :mrgreen: Watched too many horror movies i guess!

[Teh One Who Knocks]

The injection is the worst part, I have to keep my eyes closed :lol:

Even though they numb the area first, I can still feel it every time the shot goes in. I got a bonus shot yesterday too, he gave me three injections of Novocaine and waited the normal amount of time, came in, started drilling and I could still feel it. So he had to give me another shot in the gum in the back near the tooth. he said it would probably be sore for a few days, he wasn't kidding. It fucking hurts :lol:

[Goofy]

:lol:

There's been a couple of times when i've still felt pain during the drilling......... they tell you to put your hand up if you feel anything but i just grit it out and try not to cry :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

If it's just mild pain I feel when they're drilling, I usually just let it go, but he hit a nerve that was still 'awake' in the tooth 3 times and that was enough :lol:

[Goofy]

:lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

At least it's done now, good to go until my next check-up at the end of December :thumbsup:

[Goofy]

We've got an Italian pizza place in perth thats really good, La Serie A, all the pizzas and pasta dishes are named after Italian football teams, i always order a Torino :ok: Never had a dominos in my life.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Dominos is one of the Big 3 national pizza chains here in the states....Pizza Hut, Dominos, and Papa Johns

Its big over here too mate, we have one in Perth but ive just never tried them :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Ah, didn't know they were overseas as well

[Pony]

Dominos sucks. Of the bigger chains Marco's is probably the best. Personally I prefer smaller independents.

Don't know If chains like Marcos, Georgios (Oven Fresh Pizza Co) are national.... Romeo's is good but regional.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I think Marcos is semi-national? We have it here, but I don't think it's completely nationwide yet.

[Goofy]

True haggis is literally illegal here in the States. I saw a dude on Triple D make it once a few years ago and he listed all the crap he had to alter because of our culinary laws.

There's a few Marcos down in Jacksonville and up in Savannah, but nowhere in between. Georgios looks regional. If they're the same company, Romeo's is up in Atlanta.

I prefer small independent places as well. It helps if they're originally from the North, or learned how to make pizza up there.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

There's a place called Richie B's that opened up maybe a year or two ago near us, we really like their pizza. Their largest pizza is about the size of a semi truck's tire :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Now I know I must be getting old...the only radio station that everyone can generally agree on down in the shop is the classic rock radio station, and just recently they've added some Metallica songs to the rotation :|

[DemonGeminiX]

Classic rock stations around here play GNR, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana hits nowadays. 80s and 90s music is considered classic rock now. It sucks really hard, but time keeps moving on and we can't stay young forever.

[DemonGeminiX]

It really does make you want to hunt down and kill the executive that first made the decision to add 80s and 90s music to the classic rock genre. :lol:

[Goofy]

Ive pretty much got this workshop to myself so i have Planet Rock on all day, its a pretty good blend of songs from 60s right up to the present :thumbsup:

It sure pays to know an electrician...had the guy that does all the electrical stuff here at the shop come over last week. He rewired all our faulty light switches so that they all work now, figured out what 3 mystery light switches went to and set those up so we can use them, and put a brand new light fixture over the bathtub in the master bathroom, climbing in and out of the million degree attic several times in the process. He was there for the better part of 7 hours and charged me only $430
