Re: [Audyssey] Throwaway Tech was Previous Topic ofInteractiveFiction
Well hopefully from a tech standpoint I won't have to upgrade at least 2 of the units here for at least another 5 or 6 years. And to be honest unless one of them breaks I am not sure if I will upgrade for some time to come. I know for a fact that several people on the network are retiring in the next 2 or so years and that will change slightly the use of at least 1 of the computers. I am not sure how much change that will mean as there will continue to be a lot of business stuff on there but point is, the funds I will have after the next 2 years or so will not really be that great. I doubt for instance that next time I upgrade it will be because windows is out of support, more likely it will be because my laptop battery has exploded or something. Thing is for the last 3-4 upgrades either I have needed it or the systems in question are broken or have not been upgraded for some time. With one acception every user is happy with their level of power. In short ms will need to really convince people to switch, I know for example that 7 is the last os that doesn't need a ms account to login. 10 now its the only way to use the system and I am sure that later oses will not have local account either.

What you are confused about is on January 13 2015 Microsoft will officially end mainstream technical support for Windows 7, but that does not mean there won't be any updates available for the OS. All it really means is that Microsoft will be switching Windows 7 over to an extended support policy which will end in January 2020. As such Microsoft will continue to offer critical updates such as security patches and updated drivers, but will not be offering updated features or applications for the OS. So in short Josh or anyone else who chooses to stay with Windows 7 should be fine until 2020 when Microsoft will pull the plug on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. As that is five years of extended support that should be plenty of time for people to decide to either upgrade to Windows 8.1 or alternatively to Windows 10. Both of which should have any bugs and support issues worked out by that time. Who knows something better might be available by then and people will want to upgrade to that. In any case there isn't any need to worry or panic about Windows 7 support being dropped in January. Only mainstream general technical support is ending. Security updates, driver updates, and any other critical updates will still be provided until 2020. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Throwaway Tech was Previous Topic ofInteractiveFiction
well I don't think they can just stop producing 7 just like that, all the boxes we have are on 7, and while there is a market for it pc manufacturers will still release drivers till at least support for updates ends. thats not for another 5 years. Even if ms stops drivver library support most drivers for ms are generic ones anyway. As well as this because of the 8x disaster ms really needs to make sure that their new os works this time, right now it looks ok but there is always a chance to wreck it later. To be honest if xp didn't drop outside support I'd continue using it and now it appears they are trying to make vertuals with xp not work in 8 and up put it this way I have no desire to even think of upgrading.

I get an operating system, screen reader, office suite, and a bunch of other software for basically the cost of a download and a disc to burn it on.

Anyway after you blow ou the dust from the box and put it together, replace or rather remove and regrees the heatsync and replace any noisy fans and then it will probably work again. you may have a power issue to the supply may need replacing who knows. you could also try updating your bios or reflashing it as that also helped a lot.

Hi Shaun, I don't think Nicol's issue is hardware related. If so it would be having this issue with other programs and games and he has made no indication that is the case.

Re: [Audyssey] Throwaway Tech was Previous Topic ofInteractiveFiction
Hi Shaun, Well, as the MS account is pretty much core to Microsoft's new security policy as well as their services I definitely don't see that going away. Its one of those things people will either learn to live with or will have to go Mac or Linux instead. As for the Start Menu I've read it is suppose to make a return in Windows 10. As I understand it Windows 10 will have an option to enable some sort of classic mode which is similar to Windows 7 with a Start Menu or a Metro style interface similar to Windows 8. So that at least isn't totally out of the question here. As for their cloud accounts I don't see that going anywhere either. A lot of commercial software is going to the online approach and I foresee Microsoft doing something similar to google where you'll run Microsoft Office and other apps online via the cloud and your desktop or laptop will be for local files but the OS and applications will be accessed via the cloud. Don't believe me just look what Google has done with Chrome OS. Basically, if you start up a Chromebook all you get is a web browser that allows you to run gmail, Google drive, Google docs, etc and nothing is accessed on your Chromebook. Its all in the cloud. I'm sure Microsoft would be happy if they could do the same as they could charge for subscriptions rather than pay for people to buy software upgrades.

Re: [Audyssey] jim's pizza delivery game
Hi Nicol, I am working on version 2 and have added the reminder about where the Pizza Kitchen is like you suggested. Yes, one can find cheaper pizza, like from the big chains like Pizza Hut. And Dominos is hot right now, building a bunch of new ones across the country. But I like my Zeppies. I am pretty sure that a Zeppies extra large, 12 cut, 18 inch, one topping, not on sale, pizza starts at $18.95, plus a dollar to deliver, and $3.00 per extra topping. You know such as extra cheese, mushrooms, etc etc. Zeppies pizzas have a thicker, fresh crust, great tasting sauce, and lots of fresh toppings. So you know the Pizza Kitchen pizzas are more of the gourmet pizza, like Zeppies. grin In my game The toppings are $2.50 on an extra large and $2.00 on a large. And the tips are very generous as long as you get there on or before the time quoted to the customer. But you know, I have never ordered a pizza with 6 toppings like in my game.

Re: [Audyssey] jim's pizza delivery game
Hi Milos, The bad thing about getting pulled over by the police is that it takes time and thus the pizza gets to the customer later, and thus your tip is less. It's the same sort of time penalty when waiting for a train, or the random delays.

Hi Lori, Almost everywhere you can get away with 40 miles an hour, however there are a few stationary speed traps where the mean officer will pull you over for anything above the 35 mile an hour speed limit. And there are three streets that the police do not ever patrol at all, so you can do any speed on those roads. Well as fast as the particular vehicle will go anyway.

[Audyssey] Alter Aeon 2014 Halloween Havoc
Our annual Halloween Havoc is just around the corner! Festivities kick off in six days, on the morning of Friday, October 31. We've got lots of stuff lined up this year, including the traditional pumpkin cannon contests, pk arena battles, and a new level 16 area for the island of Kordan. We're also planning some special pk arena contests that allow players of any level to compete against each other, regardless of experience or skill level. If you've wanted to try out high level spells and skills that your main character doesn't have, you'll be able to do so in these events. Lastly, our main event quest is scheduled to unfold over the course of the weekend, starting on Friday and finishing on Sunday. We're expecting Pumpkinhead to send lots of ghosts and otherworldly spirits, and players of all levels will be needed to defend the towns. To get involved and see the daily events, use the in-game 'show event' command. We hope to see you there!

Re: [Audyssey] Throwaway Tech was Previous Topic ofInteractiveFiction

Re: [Audyssey] Throwaway Tech was Previous Topic ofInteractiveFiction
I like having my local account! if I were an IT manager and if I were running a company I would not save stuff in the cloud I would want it where I know I could get at it. backups in the cloud? maybe if they were super secure. primary employee stuff would be local. and if I ran a company an ms kept messing up my company would switch over to ubuntu.

And to be honest unless one of them breaks I am not sure if I will upgrade for some time to come. I know for a fact that several people on the network are retiring in the next 2 or so years and that will change slightly the use of at least 1 of the computers. I am not sure how much change that will mean as there will continue to be a lot of business stuff on there but point is, the funds I will have after the next 2 years or so will not really be that great. I doubt for instance that next time I upgrade it will be because windows is out of support, more likely it will be because my laptop battery has exploded or something. Thing is for the last 3-4 upgrades either I have needed it or the systems in question are broken or have not been upgraded for some time. With one acception every user is happy with their level of power. In short ms will need to really convince people to switch, I know for example that 7 is the last os that doesn't need a ms account to login. 10 now its the only way to use the system and I am sure that later oses will not have local account either.

What you are confused about is on January 13 2015 Microsoft will officially end mainstream technical support for Windows 7, but that does not mean there won't be any updates available for the OS. All it really means is that Microsoft will be switching Windows 7 over to an extended support policy which will end in January 2020. As such Microsoft will continue to offer critical updates such as security patches and updated drivers, but will not be offering updated features or applications for the OS. So in short Josh or anyone else who chooses to stay with Windows 7 should be fine until 2020 when Microsoft will pull the plug on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. As that is five years of extended support that should be plenty of time for people to decide to either upgrade to Windows 8.1 or alternatively to Windows 10. Both of which should have any bugs and support issues worked out by that time. Who knows something better might be available by then and people will want to upgrade to that. In any case there isn't any need to worry or panic about Windows 7 support being dropped in January. Only mainstream general technical support is ending. Security updates, driver updates, and any other critical updates will still be provided until 2020. Cheers!

Its actually quite easy to remember: the pizza kitchen is between first avenue and first street at centre. But I continue to have the problem where my pc reboots in the middle of a pizza game. This is strange, I wonder what causes this? I have a question: Does pizzas cost the same amount in the US as in the pizza game? For example, at one time I delivered a pizza costing 26 dollars. Is that what a pizza really costs in the US? Here in south africa most pizza places charges an equivalent of 8 dollars for a pizza.

The entirety of the start menu, for starters.

What you are confused about is on January 13 2015 Microsoft will officially end mainstream technical support for Windows 7, but that does not mean there won't be any updates available for the OS. All it really means is that Microsoft will be switching Windows 7 over to an extended support policy which will end in January 2020. As such Microsoft will continue to offer critical updates such as security patches and updated drivers, but will not be offering updated features or applications for the OS. So in short Josh or anyone else who chooses to stay with Windows 7 should be fine until 2020 when Microsoft will pull the plug on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. As that is five years of extended support that should be plenty of time for people to decide to either upgrade to Windows 8.1 or alternatively to Windows 10. Both of which should have any bugs and support issues worked out by that time. Who knows something better might be available by then and people will want to upgrade to that. In any case there isn't any need to worry or panic about Windows 7 support being dropped in January. Only mainstream general technical support is ending. Security updates, driver updates, and any other critical updates will still be provided until 2020. Cheers!
