So I can be part of the massive botnet that pwned the hundreds of millions of PCs that still run it. What, M$ lied ? Most botnets run on Win 7 - 10 ? Time to update.

Is there a reason you know of or can imagine why this would work with XP and not with 10??? Because Win 10 is a piece of crap! There is no need to try to say this in any nice way... |

Actually, the break in numbers do not show that. Last numbers I saw, W7 was broken into more than xp, but it was so close it was a statistical dead heat. M$ has never been very good a security patches anyway. You should rely on a good Anti Virus as your first line of protection. Kaspersky still supports XP. |

Just off topic musing. "ye" or "thorn" is pronounced as "th".
So, "ye old coffee shop" is pronounced as "the old coffee shop" or "What say the about this?". Here is a fun video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19QbDTiwOGQ |

This remains the most important question: So i renamed the directory wth the photos that is on the SD card in the camera and the new name appears in the title bar of the file manager, and the title bar for its half of the screen, but the hour glass is still showing 25 minutes after I did this. It only took 15 minutes to copy the pictures, but otoh, I was copying tehm to a harddrive which I guess is faster than an SD card (even though I made a point to get a fast SD card) ? It does NOT say "program stopped" or whatever at the top, ESPECIALLY HE so my only thought is that to change the directory name, it has to change something in every one of the 1200 files in that directory. Is that true? Does it wear out the SD card to make such changes for what is basically no good reason**?. Like flashdrives wear out, or used to. If I'd known that I never would have done this. **It takes a little effort to find where I left off at the last backup, but only a little. And both my earlier Fuji and another camera came with softwware that would do it automatically, whicfh I could have looked for and installed on the netbook but did not. So, Is it true? How long should I wait. ... Oh, it just finished, after about 30 minutes, but the questions still stand, if you have any info on the subject. |

So there was something I missed there. The char-set is UTF-8. http://al.howardknight.net/msgid.cgi...ividual.net%3E https://groups.google.com/forum/#!or...A/vSR8gShFBwAJ EA 9D A4 ? http://unicode-search.net/unicode-na....pl?term=THORN UTF-8 encoding LATIN CA*PI*TAL LET*TER THORN WITH STROKE What's interesting, is none of my three browsers can reproduce the graphic symbols in that table. I guess "THORN with stroke" causes them to "have a stroke". The best of the lot of browsers, all it got was a square. I loaded the unicode-search page into MSEDGE and it managed to render the information OK. Page looks like this. The one in question, is the one in the middle of the seven entries. https://s23.postimg.org/k5dv5m3bf/thorn.gif ******* So are those hieroglyphics or Sumerian cuneiform ? :-) Apparently cuneiform has its own Unicode table. So the next time your browser cannot render something, blame it on this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform_script "In exchange for three sheep today, I will pay you a hamburger on Tuesday" http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U12000.pdf Paul |
