    BOOT

    Locked

    by entawanabi ·

    When you ‘boot’you are making LOTS of copies of something – first we take into account the number of Bytes these occupy – technically, a copy is used once and then discarded, so you can run out of copies- some operations for instance use several LOTS of copies at a time. Now when I set-up the system I did not need to satisfy very many now, a while later I am rebooting a lot; is it equipment problems sometimes the demand on the equipment, or the age of the equipment is the problem; Sometimes those that are Boot dependent find that the traffic numbers are higher than originally those when set-up and now must do more manual interactions than they allowwed for to keep the system available to users including OS’s.

        I remember telling your wife that exact same thing, and she agreed completely with me. What’s up with that?

          If that comment came from Sleepin’ Dawg or Gadget Girl, I’d have to challenge them to a duel. From you, I’m not sure if it was honorable or not. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

          As the challenged party, do I get choice of weapons? I’m on crutches for the next few weeks, so I’m picking Popcap Zuma high scores at 15 paces.

          you have to pre-order how many boots you want when you make your system. There is a little counter and when you reach your quota that you paid for, the system will give you an “error” message and shut down saying your hard drive is empty and you must buy a new one.

          And you call yourself a Tech Palmetto? Sheese! 😀

          Pre-ordered boots

          I usually pre-order my boots from Stride-Rite or Buster Brown. My wife orders her boots from Fredericks of Hollywood.

          Never leave through the back door

          I never leave through the back door. As a refined gentleman of The Old South, I always exit in a graceful manner as befits the presence of the ladies who favor me with their charms: through the window, pants around my ankles.

          I have been know to enter through the back door, but that’s another story.

      Cold or Warm Boot….

      by cbalness ·

      In reply to BOOT

      Do you make more copies with a warm boot or a cold Boot??

      I would imagine with a warm Boot as the HD surface would be more malleable. To prevent “Boot Build – Up” you may want to super-cool the PC and alleviate further problems…

      You will also find your traffic numbers will subside after rush hour.

      Thanks, let me know if this helps..

        Depends

        In reply to Cold or Warm Boot….

        I would say that a warm boot would be better, as the copiers would not ber suffering dental chatter, thus giving a more stable operator which must lead to more copies.
        Again traffic numbers would subside quicker after rush hour from a warm boot, as there would be less congestion and faster flow if all those bits of traffic didn’t suffer from frozen lower digits, hence I wouldn’t recommend the super cooling, as it would dangerously increase this incidence of digit frostbite.
