Fix wrong drive letter and can't boot Windows 7 after disk swap

By drink | Tue January 27, 2015

I just got a nice Samsung EVO 850 SSD, and therefore got the chance to remove two spinning disks from my PC. But in order to make this happen, I had to move Windows to the SSD I had in my PC already. So I mounted the new SSD and formatted it ext4, and transferred Linux without a hitch. Then I booted up and used gparted to transfer Windows to the old SSD I'd just vacated, and it wouldn't boot. I thought these problems were over? I used my Linux install (with vmware player) to fix the problem just as I had used it (with gparted) to copy Windows from one volume to another.

Nexus 4 to Moto G: What's it like?

By drink | Sat December 27, 2014

My LG E960, better known as the Google Nexus 4, decided to let me down. Around the same time, the radio stopped working properly and the digitizer stopped recognizing touches right in a fairly important spot — above the "e" key. Clearly it was time to take a right-hand turn and buy a new device from a different manufacturer. At just this moment, Amazon offered a discount on the second-generation (2014) Moto G, and the sale was made.

Gateway LT3201 with Athlon 64 TK-42

By drink | Thu June 26, 2014

Short, short, short form: Before installing, install setfsb, then add a REG_EXPAND_SZ (named, perhaps, underclock) like this to the registry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:

c:\programs\setfsb\setfsb.exe -w0 -s50 -q

The Corporate Future

By drink | Sat March 22, 2014

Create victimless crimes, imprison people (ideally in privatized prisons from which the ruling class gets kickbacks, or which they own) and then demonize them when they are freed to increase recidivism, because incarcerating the same people over and over minimizes the chance that the voters will notice. This is the right hand of the devil.

False Equivalence?

By drink | Thu March 20, 2014

This diatribe is a response to a discussion containing repeated assertations of "false equivalence" between the Democrats and Republicans. I don't believe that individual Democrats and Republicans are equivalent, and I don't even believe that left to their own devices, the people who make up these parties wouldn't go in different directions. I believe that we have a system that permits the corporations to juggle us between these two parties, reducing them to a distracting false front that distorts our view of the actual situation: corporate governance.
