This maybe safer, but this does not mean you drop your security

Of course. a snapshot is a backup. Security is there for avoiding problem to occur,  or solve the problem if it happen to occur. If the security people do not succeed preventing or solving the problem, then you restore your backup.

You could try it first before you actually install it properly.

Wow! Trying before installing, that's a very interesting point!

Of course, I guess that it's a kind of virtualization, each thing should behave as a virtual private system. However, it still seems mysterious to me. And everything I find looks like marketing b...lshit, no technical explanation nor description.

Do you use Docker ? What's that ? How does it work ?

Looks like a good old command-line ms-dos thing, am I true ?

Sorry, you are right.

I did not have any technical answer, so I replied with my deep feeling. So maybe we should also open another thread concerning economy. Are popups and ads and unwanted music necessary for the economy ?

It is only a piece of music playing while you are looking at the page.

OK, I understand. However, I want to master whether music should be playing or not while I am looking at a webpage.

Moreover, sometimes when I am at work, sometimes I need help and I use to ask google. Some results arise, and If I click on the wrong link, it should start no music, else I will not  be considered as a serious worker and I will loose my job.

By the way, personally,  I hate websites starting things I don't master. I stopped visiting websites opening invisible windows playing music or saying sentences like "hey, buy my thing"!

I also love expressing myself sometimes and somewhere.

And I love a philosophical chapter. Each guy's freedom is limited by somebody else's freedom. Singing too loud in public places can be offending for people loving another kind of music. And telling the truth to people should not be done in a public place, because each word could bi misinterpreted.

And of course I hope that our forum will soon be a public place with many daily visitors!

a certain someone" can be quite stubborn at times

Sorry, but such words cannot be accepted here. Please read our forum rules again.

Maybe it's an annoying part of our rules, but we strictly keep on personal respect and politeness. This forum should be for people wanting to express themselves concerning technical problems, or technical questions and being helpful toward others. Personal opinions concerning certain members should be kept silent. ?

OK, you are asking a nice question.

I would even say that this question has several aspects, concerning grammar teaching, helping people, politeness/kindness, and even our forum rules.

First of all, you are talking about a word posted in the shoutbox. Each line in the shoutbox vanishes when other people shout. So, a mistake there is not very important because it's supposed to disappear after a short period of time, except if you take a screenshot and post it in a topic, like you just did it.

Secondly, I feel this as "artist's freedom". Opaque should have said "Each time Invision people do ". However, he omitted the word "people", so Invision is not clearly started as a multi-person character. I feel a big organization, Invision for instance, as a collection of persons, so I would naturally use the plural form of the verb. However, maybe a collection of people should be stated like a single set of persons, so the verb should have a singular form.

The third part is the "being useful to others" part. Some people ask for help improving their English writing skills, and our help is welcome. Some other people will not appreciate seing their name clearly shown in a topic explaining how poor their language is.

And that leads to my fourth point here. I think that you should not show so visibly the name of that guy. Your topic started with "a person", I would have continued that way, sticking to the strictly grammatical point of view, and not showing the name of that guy.

And, by the way, how do you feel my syntax? Did I also do a lot of grammar errors in the present answer?

Try to think your pint is till half full instead of half empty.

Ha-ha, let's do it that way, let's have half a pint of beer!

We need the activity to come back. Users bring activity. Activity brings users. We don't really know why the activity became low, and hopefully it will raise agani.

Hi, M6NEN,

Concerning the three questions, the first one is "yes, this forum is still fully operationnal".

Unfortunately, the posts are relatively old, we hope that our members will post a lot of new posts as soon as possible!

Currently there are so few new topics that the Mycents system is not active now, we will probably have to work out a kind of "manual" estimation for the quality of the new posts.

However, yes, our goal is still to offer fully professional hosting to our very active members!

Hope this answers your questions?

Regards

I literally can't get the performance out of software encoding that I could with hardware because I'm using a random AMD quad core. 

Really ? with a quad core ?

How is your cpu usage while encoding ? (Alt-Ctrl-Del ) Is each cpu used  100% ? I would guess that poor performance means that a single cpu is used by the encoding program and the second one is used for displaying graphics, and the remaining two are idle.

I really don't understand the technical aspects of i

I guess that the technical reason is that directly using the GPU avoids the overhead of using the CPU power for accessing the gpu and coming back to the cpu for encoding the session. However, I guess that this approach is not valid if your game is fully using the GPU potentials.

Sorry being a newbie concerning that subject, but... What is the goal for this ? Is this for showing what you are doing while plaing a game on your PC ?

And of course, once you know how to use the free version of vmware player, you will be able to use the professional versions, and will be able to work on real professional virtualized servers! Creating and administrating partions on esx systems using vcenter work the same way.

I haven't used online video converter because a software-based video converter ultimate is enough for me. And it has more function compare to the online converter. But the online converter also has advantages that is easy to use.

I guess that the initial topic question concerned free converters. The videosolo software you mention seems to cost $49.95. Il there a free version ?

Probably because you can choose your friends, then you choose people thinking the same way you do.

I don't think this is possible otherwise microsoft would just make one halo and not one for the pc and xbox.......And if they did you would have to buy some thing that would probably cost more than just buying the game. But I don't think it is honestly.

Oh yeah, simplest is still best. Console games on consoles, Xbox games on Xbox, Windows games on Windows PC, Android games on Android tablets and phones!

You can easily check it by yourself.

Sorry, but I don't fully understand what you said.How can I check this by myself ? The website you mention seems to be devoted to write essays for lazy students. Do you mean that, without much effort, I can write quickly an assay and immediately get money for this ?

By the way, remember that there is a philosophical very important question : Il your personality inherited from your parents, or is it formed by your surrounding environment?

If your friends have the same results to this test, and provided that they have the same cultural environment, this could mean that the test mainly measures the environmental influence on your personality!

Interesting most of my friends are similar to me ! Did you read the 'information' on it? do you think it is like you ?

 

 

I had a fast read on it, seemed rather correct.

According to the 16personalities test, seems that  I am
