An OEM product key is tied to the machine it came with. The disc itself would depend on any changes that the OEM made to it. Check the MD5. If it matches with a regular Windows 7 disc, then you could probably use it to install Windows 7 on another computer. But you still need to activate with a different key than the one that comes with your parents' computer.

what would it be like to be able to see 360 degrees?

i meant like, if you took a sphere, and you saw the world through that sphere

like, in all directions from one point at the same time?

You’d get dizzy since your human brain isn’t made for that. At best you would just have a larger vision radius. You may think we have 180 focus radius but our focus point is really only the size of small coin; having a 360 view radius wouldn’t really change the fact.

jamieS · 2011-07-02, 07:24

If you had a 360 view radius, you would still be able to notice movement and see colours, you just wouldn't be able to focus on everything.
It might be easier to imagine a 360 view radius if you close your eyes

I recall several old dinosaur televison series on the Discovery Channel; but cannot remember which featured a devoted segment about one species of raptor in a desert-like environment. Does somone remember which show this was?

Kind of stupid but what is the MD5

SeijiSensei · 2011-07-03, 07:39

"Message Digest 5" is an algorithm designed to create a unique "hash" signature from another content source. An MD5 hash consists of 32 hexadecimal characters digits (0-9,A-F), meaning there are 16^32, or 2^128, different potential hashes. My calculator says that's about 3.4 X 10^38, a very large number indeed.

Your current signature image generates the hash b80e2ef28f3b8288a892c4736913ac10.

MD5 hashes are often used to determine if a downloaded file is intact by comparing the value calculated from the download with the value published by the source.

felix · 2011-07-03, 10:10

MD5 is hash algorithm (or hash function).

In laymen’s terms a hash algorithm takes anything that can be reprezented in bytes and turns it into a fixed length number; regardless of how big or small the source content is. Hashes are typically defined by two properties: if you put in the same thing in you will always get the same hash, and if you change even 1 bit in the input you’ll get a completly different hash that’s worlds apart from what you got before. For cryptographic hashes you also have the property of irreversablity (you can’t in reasonable time reverse the hash).

MD5 is an obsolete cryptographic hash function.

A hash is not reprezented by hexidecimal characters, a hash is a number (a “digest”). It just so happens that when visiualized a hash is (typically) reprezented as a hexidecimal number to save space (and because people like base16). Which is to say if you wish to save a hash typically you wouldn’t want to save it as a character string, since it needlessly takes more space.

Hash functions are used in a variaty of places:

integrity checks (CRC), some might refer to them as “error detecting code” — MD5 is also used here, but I think people only use md5 because it’s popular, since as far as I know it’s not designed for error detection but as a cryptographic hash function.
securing your passwords in the database (SHA256 and above, or the hash viriant of bycrypt; these days MD5 is completly insecure), typically in a 3 way process. Say you login, aside from your password there are typically two keys used, one is a key for your password (a salt) generated when you register, and another is a key hardcoded into the system. Your password goes though a keyed hash function using the hardcoded key then again using the salt, after which it is compared to a stored result in the database (which was obtained using the same process when you registered). This way there’s no need to store your actual password.

If you see a site that gives you maximum length for your password, enter a password you don’t care aboute, since they are not securing your passwords (hashed passwords don’t have no length limit).
Message chains. Take something random and hash it, then hash it again and again. Give someone the last hash, then in your next message you can give him the second to last hash; he can verify the message is from you by hashing the current hash and comparing the result with the last hash (nobody can reverse the hash so nobody can impersonate the sender).
Various signature algorythms. For example cookies on websites are typically signed these days so you can’t just have random scripts messing with them.
cashing strategies on various levels
etc (if you see some random blob of text, it’s probably a hash)

oompa loompa · 2011-07-04, 15:10

for any of you statistics whizzes out there:

so, I have some values assigned to every day for a few years. I'm trying to show, that one week is a good representation of a month of data. Whats the best way to go about this?

Can I, say, calculate 21 days of a month based on a weekly rolling average ( day 7 starts from the average of days 1-7, day 8 is based on 2-8, etc.), see what % passes a 95% confidence interval?

Or, how about using the margin of error to get an idea of what the minimum representative sample size needed ( I need some help with this one, I'm getting the margin of error from 1.96*Std.dev/sqrt(7) (week sample size), but how di I find the minimum sample size required?

If you can answer the above question PHUNTASTIC.. otherwise any good ideas?

Is Shogi similar to chess and Chinese chess? I means similar format of set up formation and occupy a square by defeat the piece on it?

I knows that chess is more like an open battle where you can exploit the enemy formation and destroy them from inside. While Chinese chess is like an open campaign where your goal is to infiltrate through the enemy border, take out enemy army, and march into their capital.

How is about shogi? How does it feel like?

I've tried to extract just the postings that address your question to avoid spoilage (see below).

If you're interested in Shougi and haven't ever watched this show, you'd should give it a try. Just a warning, though, not to read the discussion thread in advance of the episodes because of the murder mystery component.

Can't add reputation, but thank there mate...

I ... have just spent 2 hours watching Shogi lesson from HIDETCHI and got the basic hold of it.... Totally lost in time watching them, so it's like 'whoop... did i just watch 12 videos of 10 mins each'

Can't read the name of the pieces through, have to guess through how it move

Is there anything at least $0.02 on YesAsia? I want to buy a game that costs $38.99, but it has to be over $39 to get free shipping. Cheapest thing I found so far are a bunch of no-name $1.99 novels, is there anything cheaper? Or will YesAsia let my original order slide and give me the free shipping anyway?

Kotohono · 2011-07-10, 18:37

Figure here is as good of place of any, but I was wondering if anyone knows when (Korean) Best Moe 2011 starts?
Since I know it generally starts a little bit after (japan) saimoe starts.

Kudryavka · 2011-07-12, 03:18

To the veteran Nintendo gamers: what did you guys see in those games back in the Nintendo Hard days? I'm playing the very first Zelda, and it's frickin crazy.

Spoiler for zelda 1 item location spoilers:

But despite how hard it is, I can't wait to play it again.
So to the question: what was it that made you undertake, continue, and finish the challenge? Was it fun? Is it true all you had was Nintendo Power and took notes to keep track??

For me, it was mostly because that was all there was. It didn't really register with me how hard that stuff really was because there was nothing to compare it to. It definitely did leave me with a taste for difficult games though as 20+ years later I find a lot of modern games too easy. All those games are still just as hard as they were back then though, and I'm honestly amazed at what I was able to beat when I was a little kid. I still can't beat Contra or Battletoads even now.

I'm playing the very first Zelda, and it's frickin crazy. Spoiler for zelda 1 item location spoilers: I could only find 3 out of the first 6 dungeons without any help, and finding the Blue Ring and Magic Sword seem 99.9% impossible without help (.1% just going around and burning everything, or touching every tombstone, which I'm not tough enough to do). Couldn't find any of the hidden heart containers without help, except the one right in the water and the one you just sail off a bridge to get. Not to mention the pleasant surprise I got when I walked into a 100 rupee stash and already had 250 rupees on me. I'm ripping my hair out and I know I don't have it half as bad as the kids playing this in the '80s. But despite how hard it is, I can't wait to play it again.
