actually i would normally wait...but as i just got a new harddrive and my old one died, im in a serious need of a pc and am waiting so i can install Vista. i dont want to dual-boot with xp....but if i SERIOUSLY have to i will...

so my grades depend on their ability to ship within the next few days.

plus its wednesday, and i doubt they shipped last week or it would have gotten here already.

"Why don't you just install XP, the apps you have to have and use it till Vista gets here?"

because then i have to bother with reformatiing, reinstalling an OS and creating partitions...then backingup and migrating data and apps.

Thats why I suggested installing only the OS and the apps you need to get by. Keep everything else neatly backup and ready to go for when Vista arrives.

Wow... thats just... nevermind

i just find it strange when people link their PC to survival... I'm sure it's frustrating waiting on a free copy a $300 OS... if it was truly linked to your survival you'd put down... what? $600? $700 for that basic MSDN subscription to get all OS releases early ;)

I had emailed the support people for the offer since I was moving at the end of the month and wanted to know what would happen if my mailing address differed from the address on my W-9 I submitted and I was told that if I don't receive the package by the end of the month, to contact them and give them my new address so they can ship it there instead.

Sounds like we should be seeing these sooner than later, hopefully within the next two weeks.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
