A Completely Unrelated Series of Thoughts... Part 6

[techwizard]

CE, NT, and ME shouldn't be counted in the main series because those are specialized versions...or maybe it was 2000, not ME, but i know one of those two are server versions of windows, just like Windows Server 2008. i think NT is server too isn't it? not 100% on that. and CE is portable, which shouldn't count.

NT had client and server versions. In fact, XP is based off NT.
CE was used for the Sega Dreamcast, and was used mainly in memory-constrained devices. It's known now as Windows Embedded Compact.
ME was the last 9x version of Windows that tried to restrict access to DOS to speed up boot times and was buggy as hell.

There are server versions of 2000, but there is a non server version too...
Windows ME wasn't a server version and I think NT was more aimed at businesses.

CE was used for the Sega Dreamcast

But that was only for some games and it isn't stored on the console itself.

Pretty much every version of Windows since Win2000 is based on NT.

ME was the last 9x version of Windows that tried to restrict access to DOS to speed up boot times and was buggy as hell.

I've never used ME, but apparently my mum installed it when it was near new and almost immediately removed and sold it...

[Shadow Kisuragi]

There are still ARM-based versions of Windows that utilize the NT kernel, including Windows Phone. I don't know if they plan on removing the last vestiges of the NT kernel in Windows 10 or not. In fact, my phone gave me an NT prompt and asked me to insert a disc when the storage died.

Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.

Phones have disc drives? How could I miss that?

it's right next to the 3.5" floppy drive, opposite the 56k modem

Something I just realised...

If people have their email hidden, they probably don't want it accessible from their blog...
http://www.rfgeneration.c...x.php?action=profile;u=45 (Email hidden here.)
http://www.rfgeneration.com/blogs/IZRET101/ (Hover over "Anthony Terzi" and look at the status bar (or equivalent). Oh look, an email address!)

Is it easy to change that?

[Izret101]

Huh i didn't realize my email was hidden.

EDIT
I JUST REALIZED MY SECRET IDENTITY MAY BE COMPROMISED!

Being sick sucks.
I slept for like 11 hours last night because of medicine and now i is 5am and i can't sleep and still feel shitty.

Goddamn unhealthy kids making my kid unhealthy making me unhealthy.

At least this year it took longer than 2 weeks for him to bring some plague home.

I know the feeling. My kid brought the plague home the first week though.

If I remember correctly, I coded it so that bots can't scrape the email address off of the blogs (this is true, look at the source), and I believe the blogs email address has to be entered in the user settings of the site, rather than the forum (don't remember on this one.).

I almost just arbitrarily banned/deleted a member.

I guess i should stop trying to do things that involve any sort of interaction with people and try to get some sleep.....

Then again Zag DID send me that ban hammer for a reason... and it IS collecting dust.....

Look, I don't like that Tynstar prefers Disney Infinity over Skylanders, either. But that's hardly any reason to kick him to the curb. Sheesh, how petty can you get?

Well, it shouldn't be collecting too much dust if you've been keeping it in the box it came in. And maybe using a little pledge from time to time.

Now get'cher @$$ out there and pwn teh n00bz for great justice!
