Maybe a handful of you have never experienced life without cell phones in our society, but it hasn't been that long since that was the case.  But if we survived back then without cell phones, I'm sure for the short time you're on the road, we can still survive the need to talk on one while driving.

The sad fact is, many people seem to "not be able to live without" cell phones, because I notice a lot of people using them during school and on the bus (which isn't allowed on either) all the time. I have a feeling that will be the same case when those people start to drive, too.

I totally agree with you, Paul.

If people are that friggin' lazy to get themselves a hands-free kit

And even with a hands-free kit, you're still NOT paying 100% attention to the road. The human brain cannot focus on two things completely, at the same time. I don't care how well people think they can drive while talking on their cell phone or using a bluetooth, etc. headset. People NEED to be 100% focused on the road, AT ALL TIMES. If you drive while talking or texting on your cell phone, you're just setting yourself up for an accident. And that is not acceptable.

You are an insult to all Apple fans!

No, an insult to all Apple fans would be if I used a Vista wallpaper on a Mac.

They are mods?

Yes. That's been the case ever since the Jr. emulator project started.

General Discussion / Re: How to boot off of other HD partition?

« on: February 29, 2008, 11:04:54 PM »

Is XP still on the machine? If so, you need to boot from the XP CD. Then, it should ask if you want to install XP or repair a current installation with the Recovery Console. Choose install XP, press F8 at the agreement screen, and then it should ask if you want to install a fresh copy of XP, or repair the current installation. This time, repair, This is not the same as the prior repair request, as the RC is not used. You'll go through the same process as with a clean isntall, only it'll take half the time, and instead of starting from scratch, its going to replace the XP files already on your machine. This should take care of your booting problem. Once you get XP up again getting Vista off is relatively simple. I'll save that part for when you do get XP up.

No, XP is NOT on the machine, and I do not have an XP CD.

General Discussion / How to boot off of other HD partition?

« on: February 29, 2008, 10:52:09 PM »

So, on my desktop XP machine, the operating system decided to curl up and die on me, as when I tried to load it up this morning, it came up with an NT loader not found, press Ctrl alt delete or something like that. Well, I did that, and I still got the same message. After that, I decided to do a little experimenting, and I tried to load Vista on it (seeing as it was compatible, but barely). It loaded. However, Vista on this machine does not work as well as I had intended, so I need to load it off of it. I did leave the recovery partition on the drive when I installed Vista. So, I restarted the computer, and pressed F10 to boot off the other partition. However, it's giving me this garbage:

Edit Boot Options

Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

Partition: 2
Hard Disk: bce1bce1

[ /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN   ]

ENTER=Submit  ESC=Cancel

I press enter, and that just boots me into the OS partition. So, I'm not exactly sure how to proceed from here. Anybody have any ideas? It will be very much appreciated.

You could get charged with murder for that.

I've got a report on a post in this thread, I see nothing report worthy, so this thread is very much in danger of being locked. Control yourselves, and keep this thread on the topic at hand please.

I got the report, and I took care of what needed to be reported already. (The reported post in question was from Gil)

It's amazing. This topic went from cell phones while driving to planet discussion.
