LegoMan1031 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Sorry to hear that Serebii. May she rest in peace.
Serebii Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks Still hasn't hit me, been focusing on all the cool Pokémon news this weekend. Funeral's being organised today for some point in the next two weeks
The Bard Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Not sure whats up, but all my twitter followers seem to have disappeared. Bummer.
EEVILMURRAY Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Once it sold for an apparent £50, now since the fuckwit didn't pay up I've had to relist it again. And now it's at a fraction of its price: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120865276377 Bid people and make this better!
The Bard Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 That was such a great issue of EDGE. Bit bummed that Syndicate is nowhere near as good as was anticipated by that 6 page feature though...
ipaul Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 My very first issue of Edge was the one where they reviewed Half Life 2....I wish I still had it =/
Eenuh Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 My external hard drive suddenly won't start up anymore... which makes me want to cry because it contains all my photos, drawings and Photoshop/Illustrator files and everything I ever made in school... ='( I'm hoping dad can fix it when he comes home but I doubt it.
Charlie Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 You could take it to a data recover specialist who should be able to get most off the data off it?
Eenuh Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Where do I find such a person? Though I don't know how long it would take them and I leave the country on Friday, so I need this fixed now (needed to make a backup of my old PC before I leave too). I think it's the power supply that isn't working on this one, as it simply won't boot up, but I don't know.
Cube Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 A spambot once posted: Got (most of) my files back Took all weekend almost, in the end couldn't find a free way to sort it out and started looking at different recovery softwares. Ended up spening 60euro on one called RecoverMyFiles (http://www.getdata.com) And had to borrow another HDD to have somewhere to save the files to when found. (If someone now suggests a free or cheaper software I could have used I'll be very upset that you didn't post sooner) Took a while (by which I mean it takes A LONG TIME) but I eventually got it working... it crashed twice on me, though may have been my own fault, first time in the middle of the scan it just stopped working... though I think it may not have liked that I was doing other things on the laptop at the same time :P 2nd attempt when it was nearly finished (7 hours of scanning) and I decided to then plug in the borrowed HDD.. I guess I should have waited for it to finish first cause as soon as I did it froze up :P 3rd time lucky. Left on over night with both HDD's plugged in just in case. After another 7 hours of scanning the broken drive I was then able to start saving the recovered files to another HDD. The lenght of time it takes to scan the corrupt drive depends on size of course (it also works on SD cards and Thumbdrives FYI), mine was a 1TB drive, after 7 hours of scanning it had searched 300million blocks of 1.9billion, it what it said. But based on the number of files it said it had found and it allows you to browse the files names and view previews of picture and document files, I figured it had found most the files by this stage anyway. I left it for another hour just in case but the number of files "found/recovered" didn't change so figured I was find. Stopped the scan and was then able to start moving the recovered files to another drive, which I've now done. Formatted the old HDD now, but will probably look at getting a 2nd one just incase the first one decides to not work again. Here's a video of the software in action The drive used in the video shows the same symptoms as what mine did... appearing as local and asking to format in My Computer, and appearing a RAW in Disk Management, which is why I decided to shell out the cash for it. And considering I was able to recover pretty much 3 - 4 years worth of photos I had recently moved off my laptop to the external drive (which I though was for safe keeping ) I'd say it was worth the cost.
The Bard Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 My very first issue of Edge was the one where they reviewed Half Life 2....I wish I still had it =/ The thing with EDGE is, it's the only magazine that makes me feel bad when I don't read it cover to cover, because I'm afraid that I'll miss some amazing content. But then, it's also always really dense, so sometimes I just can't be fucked
Dan_Dare Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 this month featured an 8 page (EIGHT PAGES) on a processor company. Again: 8 pages. Fuck that.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah, the thing with the girl who doesn't like beards is starting to annoy me a bit since I seem to be growing fonder of her. Bugger.
The Bard Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 this month featured an 8 page (EIGHT PAGES) on a processor company. Again: 8 pages. Fuck that. The feature on ARM was cool though because it augmented the PS Vita launch feature, and seeing as I have one of those it's of interest to me =p. Sometimes though, it's like reading though a fucking neuroscience journal. Yeah, the thing with the girl who doesn't like beards is starting to annoy me a bit since I seem to be growing fonder of her. Bugger. Is there some sort of dilemma I'm not seeing here?
Diageo Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 He likes her, she doesn't like beards, he has a beard, he doesn't want to shave his beard because he looks 15 without it, even shaven he doesn't think he can get her.
MoogleViper Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 But what has he got to lose? Except a week of looking younger before his beard grows back again.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I never said I thought I couldn't get her even without the beard. I have no idea about that. If I did manage to get her, the beard would probably have to stay away, though. It's all rather silly, really. I just really like my beard and find I look ridiculous without it.
The Bard Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Unless your beard is some sort of deeply personal memoir, conditioned with the fanny batter of your previous conquests, I don't see why it's not worth a shot brah. Although she doesn't like beards; obviously a chump.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 "Fanny batter"? :p No, it's not deeply personal, no. It's more just an annoyance, having to get rid of it. I guess if my interest in her sticks, I could give it a shot. Or try to change her taste.
Diageo Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Sounds like you're just making (bad) excuses not to ask her out. And that you don't really care that much about your beard, you're just scared of going for it.
