Senji··on What was the role of MS-DOS in Windows 95? (2007)
Did you know you can BSOD Win10 as a host os running VirtualBox when you're installing Win98se as a guest-os.

During the install(from an iso) it manages to bsod(kernel panic) the host OS itself.

A workaround for me was copying the files from the iso to a vhd and runing the setup from a "harddrive" inside the vm instead of emulated cdrom.

This is completely on topic. If it conflicts with your personal politics say so, but don't lie.

Make it a 100 bucks. If the child can get its shit together enough to get a job and fork over the money, they are grown enough to access the naughty stuff.
Senji··on Bootable EFI isos is pure hell. Any tips?
It just works for me. As far as I know it uses recompiled linux tools to do its job on windows.

Yumi used to have a linux version, but it seems to be under rewrite.

You could try using wine I guess?

Senji··on Windows update knocks out internet connections
They can start by not forcing me to use IE Edge + Bing to search the internet from the start menu.

I shouldn't have to install a third party app to change the default browser and search engine that gets launched from the start menu search. (which I did anyway)

No matter what you do, you're not getting me to ever use your browsers ever again MS. I grew up in the 90s and am currently a web dev. I know exactly what pieces of trash your browser devs produce.

Senji··on Portions of the brain fall asleep and wake back up all the time
I'm seconding the story/plot elements.

I've had some dreams like short sci-fi stories. Some with time travel/causality loop tangles as plot. Some with twists. Complex character and places.

Senji··on Portions of the brain fall asleep and wake back up all the time
I just the other day got … a thought that was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday [Tuesday]. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Brain commercially ... They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Brain.

The brain is not just something you dump things on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your thought in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

ActiveDesktop was the bomb. You could embed a flash video stream which shows cats playing in a pen 24/7 365 cats on your desktop.

And all your icons, still worked on top of it.
