It always leaves me speechless that a "developed" nation like the US doesn't provide the basic human right of healthcare for all, even though I know situations like yours are common; and worse, that the health industries choose to make obscene profits out of people's misfortune.
Yes, I said my t**th work was expensive... but I could have had the work done on the NHS for very little (without the IV sedation, and the kid-glove handling that my mental block about dent**try requires) had I chosen to wait a little longer. And when I say it's expensive, I mean it's cost me a day's income. On average, the staff at the practice must earn about what I do.
My sympathies to you and glad to hear you've found an affordable solution. Hoping you can manage to get the condition under control.

With all six series this time, and I have one, final, episode left.
And that means I just watched Series 6 Episode 5 "Why We Fight" for the second time, and ... IMO it's probably the best episode of all six series.
Some damn fine storytelling, acting, and a slow, slow build to the show finale. Epic.
Anyone else think there is a better one?

Haven't watched it, but will upon your recommendations. I've just finished all of South Park so I'm looking for something to watch.
How does it compare to Battlestar Galactica or FireFly?

Way better. Possibly (I'm trying not to offend fans of other series here) the best TV SF series so far, including the Star Trek franchises.
It's good. Very good.

Oof, hit me right in the feels. I still wish that show got a proper ending  As for The Expanse, I think it'll be a classic given time. I'd definitely give it a shot and see if season 1 peaks your interest.

I have never heard of it. Is it on YouTube, if so, I will check it out?

It's hidden away in a dark corner of the internet named "Amazon Prime", unfortunately. There are alternative sources of course.

Amazon Prime (they do a free one month trial) and have some good stuff - we just finished watching Reacher which was good as well.
I cannot in good conscience even suggest or imply that you could combine "The Expanse" with the work "Torrent" and throw the result at Google because that would probably lead you to pirated material of some form. Which would be illegal, immoral, and the FBI don't like that at all (as they keep reminding us: Warning screen[^]). So definitely don't do that!

Are 24 hours sufficient for you?
Because you are on CP almost always. Where do you find time to binge-watch TV shows?
Need to learn time management from you.

I don't sleep much ... haven't needed a lot of sleep since I turned 30, and when I gave up drinking I needed sleep even less. If the sun is up, I'm awake - and I get up so I don't disturb Herself (who sleeps a lot). Means I get long quiet mornings without interruptions (except the cat) and can get sh*t done.
But I also don't believe that the "head down for 8 hours a day" approach to work helps either - I take regular breaks to let my mind relax and refocus. Works for me!

I will agree with seasons 1-3. By the time 5 rolled around, with the magic 'highly-oxygenated blood' saving people from dying of deep vacuum exposure, my eyes started rolling around a little too much. And the daytime soap-opera likeness with the crying each week... Does this last season get better? I'm having a hard time making myself find out...

Hi all,
I got one customer that made an image of one computer I programmed years ago using GHOST.
Somehow they have got a problem and the computer is not starting... so they decided to recover the image they did years ago.
The problem is that after recovering the image the computer don't boot.
There are other computers in their factory that use the same operating system (XP embedded) but different softwares installed...
Would it be possible to clone a working operating system and then replace all the files from the GHOST image to the newly cloned HDD?
How would you proceed in this case?
Thank you all!

Load the clone disk as a second HDD on a working system to start with to check the image is OK at all.
Then I'd reinstall your software and just copy its data and config files over.
Otherwise, you are depending on all the DLL files and suchlike being available and in the right place, and after all this time it'#s not likely that you would remember those details. A reinstall should add all required files and the data / config data should have it back where it should be.

If they did a partition clone instead of the disk clone and you have played it back as a disk image, then you might have broken something in the boot sectors. If I am right... you might reinstall WinXP in that drive and then play the image back as a partition this time.
About the second point, norton had the "Norton Ghost Explorer" (IIRC) where you could open a ghost image and work with the files as a windows explorer, being able to move things to a secondary USB (if you had the nfull version with all the drivers)
Good Luck

I would:
- check if the image is of the entire disk and not of a partition, and check if the image is intact.
- check that the image belongs to that computer. XP embedded is somewhat different from the regular XP
- check the hard drive S.M.A.R.T. and search for bad sectors. The drive can be faulty.
- try to boot from a XP embedded floppy or CD and repair the boot. Something might have changed, like the connector on the motherboard where the hard drive is connected, or the hard drive might have been replaced and the serials (on the drive and on the image) do not match, causing a boot failure.
Joan M wrote: Would it be possible to clone a working operating system
It might work if the hardware is the same on both computers and you, probably, would need to repair the boot.
If I remember correctly, XP embedded did not store drivers for hardware that was not present during installation except for plug-and-play (like USB) so, if you use a PC with different hardware you will most likely have to install all the drivers.
Good luck

I originally read that as "mold flu" and thought that sounds serious, and scary.

The article in today's report re/ credential phishing stated the victim is lured to click on an emailed link to visit a fake website . Would it not be a simple matter for an email client to display the link prior to the visit and to do so in multiple fonts as in some fonts l and I and 1 are similar in appearance so the potential victim can inspect the destination and confirm it is what he/she believes it to be ? to wit e.g. www.lBM.com and www.IBM.com and www.1BM.com can be differentiated also www.codeproject.com and www.c0depr0ject.com or WWW.CODEPROJECT.COM AND WWW.C0DEPROJECT.COM etc. . I seek your more knowledgeable opinion on this matter - Thank Y0u KindIy - Cheeri0

It's one of those things you have to "show" your average "non-computer" person. Bookmarks, Tabs, Links, Flyouts, scripts, etc. are all mostly nonsense words.

I can't speak for all of them, but my email client shows the underlying URL by simply hovering over the link.

Gmail certainly displays the link at the bottom, I always check that for any email, even from people I know, before clicking anything. But then again, most people don't know this, I suspect.
