MBR's[PC help]
Can someone clear up something for me before I go over to Ubuntu's site complaining.
I have a notebook dual booted with Ubuntu/XP and for years I've been messing about with different areas of PC's but the MBR is pissing me off. I know what it is, what it does but why is it soo bloody hard to find good solid reference to edit and troubleshoot>?
Story is, I removed the Ubuntu partition and now the laptop has no windows loader. In the past I lived with grub managing the sole XP boot process even if the old linux still showed up and have many times gone as far as eiting grub from within linux to add XP to grub as sometimes it "forgets" to add thw windows info to grub.
I want it the way it was BEFORE I INSTALLED UBUNTU!...is what I'll be screaming at them. Maybe this is just my understanding of the product that ubuntu is but I can't say alot for the way in which they fail to tell people of the lack of support for rolling back the installation of the OS to leave the machine as was - no clean uninstallation here. Fair enough, if the people over at Ubuntu say "oh well this os is intended to run solely on a machine and dual-booting is a mod of sorts" well then why on earth do they have wubi.exe?
Furthermore, the repository that Ubuntu supplkies in attempt to fix the rollback/uninstallation issue no longer exists due to some sort of copyright infringement with microsoft, ie: sudo apt-get install ms-sys fails.
Because the machine is a laptop there is no install CD to rescue from, the recovery partition has to be copied by booting up your favourite disk editor, (Gparted in my case) and then burn't to CD.
Failure - NTLDR is missing
boot.ini cannot be found
Using what MS told me copy f:/i386/ntdetect c:/ & copy f:/i386/boot.ini etc
tried fixmbr & all the other tools I can think of - fail.
Screw Ubuntu and it's shitty half arsed attempt for a home/office use OS - worst of all imo It looks like shit orange and brown
/rant over
please help

...so eh - whats the prize?
Has anyone seen >me< driving lately???
is true no?
TBH, six months ago i dropped the wheel for a ms pad, jesus have i thrashing time on the pad. stats....
honestly it is a must, you can catch every single over/understeer every time. There's a big difference in control from pad to wheel, users of pads have much control over turn rate at beginning of axis but overall feel is limited in mid-range movements of the control.
Pads need to be banned
e;
after looking at my stats, wtf?
doers DD wins not count?

Does anyone here know of software thats kinder to multiple webcam setups than yawcam?
I've been using 6 cams running multiple sessions of yawcam and it's clunky to say the best. Given that my cams are all the same brand I'm having trouble identifying which cam is which at startup, all seems to run well after setup but there must be better, even at a small price <€80...

...just send them off to [CAD]
Then I will "look after them"
*evilgrin*
Muuuuahahahhaha*chough*ahahahahaha!!!

...I don't see this to be restrictive, if anything it's giving the potential poster a defined structure and path to follow. For someone to help another person the person asking the question needs to know the problem, most if not every single help query I have seen is posted off-the-bat with no real thought or fore-thought by user X whom rightly assumes it's the norm to post such "lazy" questions. This happens for two reasons - 1. user X is given a "no-holes-barred" ticket to ask such questions(forum access) 2. User X tends not to take notice of the thread title auto search results, or outright fails to search at all.
If the two help forums are the cleanest in terms of useless posts what is the point of this thread?...it's impossible to stop spamming by users outside of these sections unless the mods get heavy, which would indeed send a foul smell through the air. One also must remember that everyone's sense of humour is different, what you find funny I might not so it's hard to judge - even harder for the mods.
To sum up - although many people are worried about the way in which new customers are treated outside the two help sections I have to point out that if there was some structure to the way they are allowed to post and in the way in which those threads are handled the perception would be one of a professional one rather than one of a community bickering amongst themselfs about this and that. IMHO I don't see too much of a problem, new users/customers are treated well in most cases, the rest is down to us, we must put the foot down and remove the right from average joe to post in these sections and remove the right from new customers and demo users from "no-holes-barred" to make them search before posting causing the snowball ham effect.
There's no need to start from scratch LOL , just put the ruddy foot down.
...I would have thought the percentage of active spamming forum users that are also active on track is very small
...is there some way to get this data???
Imo the forum needs a Customer Services Unit, ie. a dedicated selected group of staff(unpaid obviousley)who's job it is to respond to query's in the beginners forum - All new forum user rights need to be amended(untill "12 quality non-spam posts are made") to only allow posts in the help forum and mod's will direct stray posts here. All standard forum user posting rights need to be removed from posting in the help section untill X time has passed.
...obvious stuff.
...not twenty minutes ago sitting in the passenger seat of the new familly Santa Fe in the car park of Aldi the missus jumps into the driver seat, locks the steering to the right at which point I said politely "watch that pole yeah"
PaPoooooW! takes off like a cat from hell
CccccRunch!

warehousing nightmare
I'm hoping someone here can offer some advice to my problems at work which distributes car parts, any input will help at this point.
Ethos of managment:
The owner of our company has long used a hard-copy/paper based system for the bulk of the systems within both the office and warehouse, though it is probably the safest way to keep everything it's a real bottle-neck at various points in every system. With money not available to research and install new systems I'm hoping to find some ideas from you kind folk.
Main bottleneck, picking dockets:
This is the most time consuming process, our customers phone our sales staff and place their orders, in-turn the picking docket prints in the warehouse at which point a worker is guided around the building by a bin-location system. After the goods are boxed the receipt side of the docket is placed in a tray, this is where it gets messy.
Proof of dispatch:
At the moment the only way I can tell if the order was dispatched or not picked is to collect the dockets at the end of the day and arrange them(several hundred)into sequence and cross check each docket against the print report, first they are arranged into sequence and then a missing docket number is easily seen if I flick through the bundle - as you can imagine this is a pain in the neck, honestly.
Invoicing:
After I have gotten proof of picking and dispatch I can then send the paper inside to the unlucky person who's job is to invoice the pile of crap I've just handed him, looooong nights.
What I have tried:
Barcode Scanners. My main grief with these baby's is that the customer is relying on the worker to invoice the order. The system in use at the time required the worker to input every.single.part number and quantity and having people stand around for five or so minutes whilst having a chat with another worker at the same thing is not very efficient.
Yelp! before I go insane again!

:...would have thought o too, could be wrong though...
Auxillary Function???
AF in radio terms will shut down the speakers and connected system untill it finds a signal stronger than the current one, so for example if you are tuned to wassabi.FM and are at the very edge of the broadcasting range and wassabi.FM has no supporting broadcast infrastructure and then you turn on AF your speakers and system will be muted untill the cows come home.
e; yeah soz - af off = power off....dunno ...
e#2!
from my powers of mental investigation I have come to a conclusion:magnify:
The FM in the stereo is botched, thus causing the AF mode to pick up the slack. If you can pick up stations with AF OFF then thats this theory out the window, but if you can't this must be the case....I remember years ago that some Jap imports needed FM converters...i don't recall ever seeing AF on those radios at the time...

[OT]...live by the sword, die by the same.
Being from a less attractive area of Dublin I grew up into the most nutorious drug ring in the past twenty years here, the ethos is simple(as are the minds of the dealers and their minions), sell the shit > chase drug abusers around for money all day long > get high > sell the shit...round and round they'd go.
Believe me, I know lot's and lot's of people in the trade and 99.9% have not got a ****ing penny to their name as they live their day to day lives chasing money to get high and to pay their security for their drug induced paranoia.
My point is, even though it's ok to dabble in this and that from time to time it's inevitable that sooner or later you'll find yourself in the same social circles as the dealers...and then what?...you'll be seen by your piers thus destroying any chance of a successful future.
All of my friends(real friends) from my home town are gone, three are serving lengthy jail time(and will not last two minutes after they're released) and two were shot in the head...nice.
E;
you is he???
