This is probably a stupid question, but would it be possible to use this in conjunction with, say, a PE of windows? I have one here which has speech. If not, as a blind user this would be pretty hard for me to use. Does the guy take suggestions? As this is just a bootable dos interface does it not just use the command line?

Hmm… He does take suggestions, and I will make one on your behalf to see if he has any ideas.  He generally codes exclusively in assembler, which means he doesn't make many demands on the OS, which is good for what his utility does, but would be bad for interfacing to a speech interface.  The issue is you don't want to be testing the disk at the same time as the OS would ever write to it, and Windows is very hands on with the disks when its running, unfortunately.  Also, you don't want bad drivers getting in the way of the tests, and/or causing unwanted caching, etc.  Never the less its a great question and I will get back to you if he gets back to me.

So I heard back quickly, and I'm afraid the answer is not all that we would have hoped:

Unfortunately SpinRite cannot run from with Windows PE.

He would need to find and load a DOS-based screen reader to run SpinRite … or get visual assistance.

Thank you for your cooperation, time and patience.

I do believe there is still jaws for dos over at http://www.freedomscientific.com
How it works I have no idea, having limited experience with it, however. And how it would integrate I am also not sure.

Is this a program that runs with the OS itself? or is does it require to be booted from USB or what not?

SpinRite is an "instant" purchase, and you will get a link to an ISO file which is personalized with your name and serial #.  This ISO contains a self-contained OS (FreeDOS) that boots from Floppy (yeah right), CD/DVD or USB as you require.  The only requirement for it to work with your disk is that it be visible to the BIOS… it looks only at disk sectors, so it doesn't care what (if anything) is on the disk from an formatting perspective.  (Its well known to be useful on  PVR disks, for example, if removed from the PVR and temporarily installed in a PC.)  The current version does not work [well or at all] with Macs, but he has a 6.1 version which will be a free upgrade for current purchasers and will boot on current Macs.

So a fantasy of mine has always been to be a total puppy to someone and take their sweaty jock off with my teeth. Anyone had this done to them /done it to anyone? Was it hot to you? Or was it more work than you thought?

Well, Screenshots are good to make other people know what is the torrent about. And at last one is required to post it. Any player have an option to take a screenshot of the video. And in Media Player Classic you can go in File - Save Thumbnail, it will take a screenshot of many moments of the movie. It's the best way.

And I have some questions if you don't mind. How does a blind person watch porn? Do you get only audio, or do you hear the audio of movies? And how do you know it's a good video if you can't see the actors and what are they doing?

Forgive me for this questions, but I have these curiosities, hehe.

I use audio. The audio has to be a certain way for me e.g plenty of verbal, etc. I hate music. Can't stand it. That's something I've never done is have someone describe what is happening in the video, but I certainly wouldn't be adverse to trying

Good modern AV software shouldn't be too much of a drain on laptops.

Also if you don't have an old computer, they shouldn't be too power hungry.   Modern AV software uses a small fraction of computer resources compared to 10 years ago.  10 years ago, they could easily use up to 50+% of your computer resources.  Now they use between 10 and 15%, except when doing full scans.

I'm going to use security essentials as an example here.
Instal it on something, and copy a file on the same hard drive. A big one, mind you. Take a look at the speed.
Now, under settings, and realtime protection, turn file monitoring to only incoming files, behavior monitoring off, and network inspection off.
Now copy the same file. You'll see a huge speed increase - or at least I did.
That's just one of the things I saw different when I disabled realtime protection - or certain parts of it.
Also, on battery power, 15 percent is a huge deal to me. I'm on battery for a reason and hense want my computer to last as long as it can.

@Kilo22:

What did you mean when you say you are blind? Completely blind? How did you read comment?

If you're on a windows machine, take a look at http://www.nvda-project.org and http://www.freedomscientific.com
If you're on a mac, hit command f5. That should tell you everything.
But yes, I am blind. I have light perception out of my right eye, and nothing out of the left. I can't see shapes, colors, that sort of thing, but I can tell you if the sun is out.

@NickGWM:

TBH, it sounds to me like your drive might be having an issue.  For stuff like this, I can't recomend GRC's SpinRite highly enough.  Its kinda expensive, but running it on this drive will let you know if its got issues, and then using it regularly can help with maintenance.  https://www.grc.com
(For those who tell you its going to become obsolete because of SSD's… guess what, its also useful for initial stress testing of SSD's and can even force them to rewrite their data before problems occur if used for occasional maintenance.)

Is this a program that runs with the OS itself? or is does it require to be booted from USB or what not?

Hey there
For windows, am looking for a video to mp3 converter that keeps folder structure in the output. Free video to mp3 converter is working ok, but it won't do folder structure which is something I'm sorely needing.

I believe control quick is equal to right click in windows. I can't be sure though because voiceover commands are different.
Yorufukuru (or however you spell that) for twitter, handbreak, VLC, onyx, u torrent, pc monitor (this goes for both windows and mac, by the way, as well as the other part of that for mobiles), bt sync. I feel like I'm missing something but I honestly can't remember. Oh. I also use fan controller for mac, but I'm more of a control freak that way. Oh, one other one - temperature monitor.
Really depends what you're wanting to do.

I hate wd drives. I went hitachi and never looked back. This Lenovo idea pad s415 has one though, and for a 5400 RPM drive I really have to say its stupid fast. I see copy speeds on the drive at well over 30 mbps.
Though as to your problem I am honestly stumped there. Ahci, sata, etc drivers all installed for your motherboard (if it has them?) Then again, I have seen sata III motherboards get an ssd and completely brings them back to life so not sure.

Ok, so this is going to, most likely, be one of the stupidest questions of the day, but forgive me.
I have some content that I have, as of yet, not been able to find on this site.
I'd like to upload it but I require some assistance in creating screenshots. Being blind, it's a little difficult to know exactly where the 'good stuff' is, as it were. Are screenshots required or are they just to give a more likely the torrent will be downloaded?
Also, if screenshots are required, would I be able to get any volunteers to make them for me - or, at least, help in figuring out where/how to make them?

So there you go guys. All embarrassment aside.

PS: If this is the wrong forum I apologize.

Mine is under c:\private. Someone goes in there it's not my problem. It's clearly labeled private for a reason. My self-made videos and pictures may or may not have a password.

I find eating a lot of fruit makes mine sweeter. Be interested to try the darker piss. A bit of a piss pig here - will drink mine any chance I get. Very little experience drinking others.

I don't like realtime scanning. Slows down a computer quite a lot and shortens battery life. I'm careful where I go and do a daily scan at 3 in the morning with clamwin (which does automatic scanning and update).
I used to like avast, haven't used it in a while. Hitman pro is also a great malware fighter and is cloud based so doesn't use any computer resources.

Well, as the topic says am curious.
Have found a few bears around here but bearwww doesn't have a lot. Bigmusclebears seems to be for the elite. And bear411 have rejected me a few times - which they are known for.
Not rushing into anything, and have played before, but looking for other places. (Anyone on here from Manitoba, Canada??)

@ninjapow:

hey wolfman1360, welcome to the forums! hopefully you'll have lots of fun here.
i bet in no time you'll have a bunch of guys howling an growling at you

blushes well. thank you nuzzles

I would never use either one of those. I either use clamwin or security essentials, though I'd trust clamwin more than Microsoft since it is open source.

Would gladly go down on that.
I don't think it's the size of it but how you use it that matters. I'm about 6 inches or so uncut here.

I love precum. Mostly because in general I don't precum any myself.

I'm the same way. I usually wait about a week and have some fun in the shower. A huge load and I'm usually drained. For a few hours anyway.
