  1. Who cares. If you care then I would say you have bigger problems with it than the one using the "bad" words while playing video games.
  2. Now I'm confused Your Ext HDD has the data you want to copy. And it is broken. Right? And you can't copy anything much to it? That is - your friends HDD is fine and forking like a champ. If that's the case. Then your ext HDD usb controller or what ever it's called might be the cause for this. Just get the HDD out of it and put in your PC. I had a WD external drive with broken usb controller that was not allowing to do anything on drive after a while and reconnecting the drive would be required. Few weeks later it started to show up as an 'Unidentified'.
  3. I hope you have decent internet connection... No idea how much traffic minecraft generates but 50-100 might require decent upload speeds.
  4. Vertical tabs - how people can use a browser without those. That's one of the biggest reasons I'm still on Opera 12 - I can't live without vertical tabs.
  5. But in the end what's the point of calling this at all if you get totally wrong color in case of values outside 0-255?
  6. Interesting. Can you even copy anything to your friends drive? Is it NTFS formated? Although it would have already shouted loudly if it's FAT. I would take out one of HDD and put in PC and then try copying.
  7. Yeah, yeah. Bad wording from my side. I meant if you compare C++ with Python/Ruby/Java than C++ is quite low level language. Of course it's not ASM.
  8. That's an interesting set of languages to choose from - low level vs high level. For learning programming and understanding how things work C++ is the way to go. But for making something "real" python would be better starting point. Go for Ruby it's way cooler than Python... Maybe tells us what you want to make/achieve - it would be easier to suggest something.
  9. Just did a test on my VM Win 7 and it works ok: C:\>XCOPY /C/H/R/S/Y C:\Ruby187 c:\test > c:/test/cp.log What's the exact command you are using?
  10. start command promp, change the drive letters to corresponding ones and you're good to go. I think xcopy was even part of DOS and is part in every windows version. The command I posted will copy everything from C: to D: and log every unreadable file in D:\LOGFILE.TXT
  11. I have used Total commander for this and it allows just skipping unreadable files. But that was some years ago Last time I went with commandline with something like: XCOPY /C/H/R/S/Y C:\ D:\ > D:\LOGFILE.TXT
  12. I have 6 years old no-name cheapest PSU in the shop that is still running without problems. It's in my home server which is up basically for 2 years 24/7
  13. SNES and Sega mega Drive emulators are working ok but don't remember emulator names. At least SNES one I tried on my HTC Wildfire was totally ok even few years ago. Sega one worked but guess why it was unplayable Rock&Roll Racing ftw.
  14. I guess even with these nothing good will come out in the end http://www.walmart.com/c/kp/build-your-own-desktops or there are refurbished PCs section...
  15. On android there is Ghost commander with samba support (plugin?). You can access windows shares or setup samba for *nix boxes. You can even setup this to work over internet. Google drive/Drop box or any other cloud based solution is another option.
  16. Man, you should see may spam email box. I use it for registering at shady places or anywhere else where email is asked just because.
  17. Yes, I meant it this way. I just wanted to point out that TDD by itself doesn't mean you will end up with good architecture. Anyway I agree with DHH http://david.heinemeierhansson.com/2014/tdd-is-dead-long-live-testing.html. TDD is great for certain things I use TDD for writing APIs and for things where something like your mentioned given when then easily applies.
  18. Start with wireframe for the most important parts. Basically start with the first screen when the app is opened and then move to next when button or link or whatever is clicked. You can do it even on paper with markers. For new projects we have workshops like this. One paper sheet is one screen. In the end you get a spider so it's easy to see how different parts are connected. This must be simple no fancy stuff just paper and 2-3 color markers. Google "wireframes" for examples. The software architecture then comes naturally. Someone already mentioned TDD. TDD != good architecture. IMHO TDD is a overkill in a lot of cases. Haven't done any mobile development so no concrete suggestions.
  19. I have ISA expansion card or what ever it's called with ISA Sound card, video card(ATI PRO i think) and ISA NIC plugged in it somewhere in garage. Somewhere there must be IBM horizontal case with real lock and keys with mobo/Pentium I//64MB RAM/4GB HDD. Was using it with MS DOS mp3 CD player there until something fell on it.
  20. This remind me creating one website from my friends design: On my dell laptops screen they looked white while on his MacBook there was light grey gradient
  21. In short I would say one is not buying Mac, but basically buying ecosystem and Macs have better ecosystem for certain areas. And for those "I can build cheaper hackintosh" - in the end it might not be cheaper even if you technically get it like 30% cheaper. For people who does not build PCs wasting time on building one most likely will cost more as in that time he could have earned more by doing his work.
